Arthurian Traditions
Camulus!Orlin waltzed into class, his kilt sashaying around him.
He grinned at the class and started the lecture. "Hello class of mine. I have a special suprise today for you all. Today, instead of being my normal grumpy and mean self, I'm being cheerful, friendly and nice. Now, about the Mab-Mab... " He peered at his notes closely, "Ah! The Mabinogian!. Today we are going over Owein and the Countess of the Fountain." He snorted, "What silly names these people have. Makes me sad that they actually existed to some extent in reality. Anyways, this ridiculously fabricated story takes place after Cynons finished.
Camulus!Orlin paused and looked at his notes again, and launched into the meat of the lecture.
"Owein starts out looking for the Castle of Mellow Yellow. He has no actual directions, but becasue he is a Knight of the Round Table, of course he finds it. He also meets the Black Knight, but actually managed to better then his buddy Cynon and stabbed him through the brain. The idiot then follows this mortally wounded knight- Duh, stabbed through the brain?- back to a castle, but alas, the portcullis is lowered as he entered and cuts his horse in half and leaves him trapped inside. What else do you think was cut off? Honestly."
Camuls!Orlin pauses and shakes his head. This is truely a silly book. The only important bits are about Merlin really.
"Before the guards came for him he succeeded in chatting up some passing local colour, (yellow) who gave him a ring and a stone that made him invisible. Thus he escaped the guards and followed some chick called Luned back to her severely over-gilded boudoir, where she fed him and put him to bed. At midnight he was woken by a keening, and looking outside saw the whole city at the torch-lit funeral of their slain lord, including The Black Knight's widow, The Lady of the Fountain, with whom he fell instantly in love. Luned pointed out to the idiot, er Owein, that the widow was unlikely to feel the same way about him, after which she washed, shaved and fed him, and put him to bed again while she generously went off to do some unlikely matchmaking.
Luned failed to properly acknowledge her mistress' grief as she tried to hook her up with Owein, and they nearly ffoughtt, but the widow finally accepted that she desperately needed a man about the castle who could guard her fountain, and hence her lands, and that only one of Arthur's court was up to the job. So Luned pretended to go thence, while secretly staying shacked up with Owein, until eventually presenting him to the widow as a recent arrival. Unfortunately the lady was not fooled, instantly marking Owein as her husband's killer, and had to think about it.
After consulting her people she married Owein, and the people loved him, and he became the new lord and guardian."
As he finished the lecture he rolled his eyes and leaned against the desk, still looking amused. And bouncy.
