THE ULTIMATE HOPE

THE BREAK

Arthur's mother hailed from Camelot, so he suggested that they should visit Camelot for their break, as Bruta concurred, the four of them set out for Camelot while their armies returned to their temporary hide out. As they journeyed, Hunith engaged Bruta in a discussion, he told him that his mother is not also from their kingdom (EALDOR), that she was from the out sketch of CAERLEON, as they thrived in their discussion, he told Bruta about the maiden he has eyes on, and how he planned to purpose to her at their return, he asked Bruta if he has any maiden at heart, Bruta smiled and said he does not, then he wished Hunith the best of luck with his plan. Upon their arrival at Arthur's maternal home they were welcomed with open hands and entertained with victuals. Arthur went round the compound calling for his younger sister taking care of their grandmother, then he was told she went to the river for laundry. After a while Bruta decided to go for a walk, he walked down the river as he exchange pleasantries with those he came in contact with. As he stood watching the maidens washing by the river bank, he heard a cry for help, at arriving the scene he saw a little girl drowning, with some maiden calling for help. Bruta allowed the girl for some time, until she stopped struggling, then he dived in and rescue the little girl, he brought her out and handed her to one of the maiden who immediately

attended to her, when the little girl was resuscitated, the maidens looked around to appreciate the man( Bruta ), but he was no where to be found. Arthur, Lancelot and Hunith were outside the house discussing when a beautiful maiden walked into the compound, at sighting Arthur, she exclaimed, brother!!!, then they both ran and embraced themselves. Arthur introduced her to the both of them, and she exchanged pleasantries with them. Her name Nimueh, started ringing a bell in the head of Lancelot, and he could not take his eyes off her. As Nimueh sat close to Arthur, asking questions about home, Bruta walked in, and had eye contact without Nimueh, then Arthur asked of his where about, immediately Nimueh responded on his behalf, that he came by the river and rescued a little girl that got drowned, Arthur smiled and introduced Bruta to her, then she expressed her gratitude for saving the little girl. After dinner, Nimueh moved the dishes to be washed, then Lancelot followed after her, she turned and smiled at him, and told him not to bother helping because he is her guest, but he insisted. After assisting her he asked if she was betrothed to some one, she smiled and said no, as she excused herself. As she headed to her room she bided all of then a good night rest. Hunith turned to Arthur and asserted how beautiful she is, and they all laughed over it.
