Camelot
I
tripped into a small clearing and jumped to my feet, brushing myself
off before someone saw me.There was no one.
Everyone discounted me as fanatical.
But
I couldn't be wrong. Not this time.
The forest around me was ancient, undisturbed. Through the clearing a tree-covered hill rose, a small overgrown river flowed from it.
I blocked out the sun with my hand. Was that a spot of grey?
Flying across the clearing, I pushed my way up the hill. Branches whipped my face and rocks bit into my knees when I fell. Exhilaration drove me, my hope a shining star ahead. I couldn't stop, even when my breath became ragged and my knees weakened.
Warm tingles bloomed within me as I broke the tree line. I sobbed at the sight and with shaking fingers reached out and grazed the coarse weather-worn stone.
Laughter bubbled from my lips like a fountain.
Foliage covered the crumbled wall and I moved around the structure until I encountered a flora-filled archway. I gripped the vines at the edge and pulled until I saw the gleam of rough stone. There craved in the white limestone, faded but still legible in winding cursive; Camelot.
