Children of the Knight

Lance gazed upward at the knight, still speechless, staring at the horse, the sword, and the armor. The other cop, a young man, suddenly noticed Arthur’s sword, which he’d begun carrying despite Lance’s admonitions to the contrary. “He’s got a sword!” He drew his service pistol, and the older followed suit. Ryan glanced over at Gibson. “Tell the men to—” He never finished his order, for just at that moment both men heard a loud thump sound, and Ryan lost control of the car. “Hellfire!” he cursed and spun the wheel hard, fighting to regain control as the car screeched and lurched. Lance finally turned his gaze upon the man who had transformed his life, as Arthur lovingly cradled his head.
