Topic: What do you do to relax?
In a land that stands on the brink of war each and every day, there is little time for relaxation and rest. We must ever be on the watch for invasions into our land, for the Saxons and their barbarian hordes as they attempt to take by force and fear that which is not theirs ( Read more... ) -
[For greek_warrior]
Mordred had left the court and gone for a walk. The intricacies of Camelot were boring him, and he was tired of simpering ladies vying for his attention, and of drunken lords spitting wine and food at each other as they talked. He was sick of the petty behaviour of some of the finest warriors in the land, who, it appeared, could barely behave when ( Read more... ) -
Topic: Most people wish that I....
Most people wish that I was easy to speak with, a person of conversation and society. Alas, this is not me, has never been me. I prefer to keep my own council, to remain aloof from the petty intricacies of court life. I do not wish to indulge in mindless chatter to be part of polite society and I have little time for such foolishness. I am a ( Read more... ) -
Topic: What is the best gift you have ever given someone?
Allegiance is the greatest gift I have given to another. I do not say this lightly, for giving my allegiance to something, someone, I bestow a level of trust that is beyond what I would usually give. I swore my allegiance to Arthur when he asked it of me, I was proud to do so, and prouder still that I, Mordred, his son, would be a part of his ( Read more... ) -
Topic: What is your greatest strength?
I am a warrior; my greatest strength lies in my sword arm and my ability to command. To remain in control during the heat of battle and not become overrun by the battle lust; to be able to plan combat tactics that will ensure victory and survival of those under my command ( Read more... ) -
Topic: What is the one thing about yourself that you don't want anyone to ever know?
Mordred enjoys the role of the warrior, the role of the leader, the role of the hunter of Saxon invaders. He enjoys the façade of being the good son, even though he knows he’s the unwanted son, the irony of it all amuses him. Mordred most enjoys his isolation, being alone. Not relying on anyone, not needing anyone but himself. At least if things go ( Read more... ) -
Topic: Favourite time of day.
Each day is different, and for a warrior, the best part of each day is that when the battle is over, and the dead have been counted, the injured taken to be cared for, and the luxury of rest is permitted. Battles are waged at night and during the day - the Saxon raiders care not for those who might wish to sleep a full night and rise, fresh and ( Read more... ) -
Topic: The first time I saw...
The first time I saw Camelot, it took my breath away. Minstrels have composed ballads in its honour, poets have waxed eloquent about the beauty of its stone walls, but naught does it justice. It is not just a fortress built upon a hill; it is a monument to an ideal - an ideal of peace, unity of the British peoples, friendship, honour and loyalty ( Read more... ) -
Topic: What do you look for in a romantic partner?
The men sat around the fire pit, drinking ale and telling stories, grossly exaggerated, of course. After all, why let something like the truth get in the way of a good story? The discussions were wide ranging, though always focussing upon the storyteller’s prowess as a warrior, as a man, as a part of Lot’s court, as a lover, as a husband ( Read more... ) -
Topic: Blue
Mordred stands on the cliffs of Orkney, looking out over the sea. It’s winter, and the swells are leaden grey, topped with dirty white. The sky is grey, too, with dirty white seagulls soaring above him. Rain is falling, a steady drizzle that is just enough to be annoying. Mordred shakes back his black hair, already sodden, and continues to gaze out ( Read more... )
