A sword, embedded in a stone, awaited its rightful owner. Lords and knights alike tried their luck, their ambitions burning bright. None could budge the enchanted blade. Arthur, a mere squire at the time, approached the stone. He had no claim to the throne, no desire for power. He simply needed a sword for a knight he served.

Arthur, his heart heavy with sorrow, was forced to confront the unravelling of all he had striven to create. The Battle of Camelon, a clash of once loyal comrades, marked the beginning of the end.
