King Arthur moved himself with
his army along the coastline
westward.
Upon a Trinity Sunday at night,
King Arthur dreamed a
wonderful dream.
In his dream, Sir Gawain
warned him of his death.
Then the king commanded Sir
Lucan, Sir Bedivere, and the
bishops to take a treaty for a
month.
And thus they fought all the
long day, and never stopped till
the noble knights were laid to
cold earth.
Mordred and his father
fought for their life.
And the noble King Arthur
fell in to the earth.
