Perceval

Perceval moved to chase after her, but suddenly realized he wore next to nothing, and unless he wanted to be tackled by the castle guard and tossed into the dungeons for indecency, he needed to dress. He raced around the room frantically, collecting his things all while shouting at Elora. The woman sat in bed, pouting, her arms crossed over her naked bosom. “Get the fuck out of my bed, will you?” bellowed Perceval, nearly apoplectic with rage, as he yanked up his trousers and slipped his feet…

The Story of the Grail, a story of one unusual knight’s attempt to prove himself a man and find the grail, shows the interesting trend of the various treatments of women. Perceval, the main character, tends to treat women unjustly and rudely, even though he finds one woman whom he treats very politely. Knights of King Arthur’s court, Sir Kay for example, also exhibit similar displeasing actions towards women. In the period which this story takes place, those of royalty or knighthood would have…

Standing on the windswept beach on the raw, overcast afternoon, Perceval set up a fire pit in the sand while Joan dug by the shore for shellfish. With her long stick, she turned up damp, dark sand, and every time she uncovered an edible gem, she shrieked before plopping it into her bucket. And each time, Perceval laughed. He couldn’t recall a time when his wife seemed happier or more relaxed. The sea air blew through her dark locks and a wide smile graced her face as she worked. “Lots of…

but somehow, his hands coming together caused a deafening crashing sound, louder than the most stunning thunderclap Perceval had ever heard. The ground beneath Perceval’s feet shook, and with an upward glance, Perceval saw all of Morgane’s men were frozen in place, too. Now, Merlin and Morgane were the only people left with the ability to move. Merlin approached Morgane, and Perceval wanted to cry out for the man to stop, that Morgane would turn Merlin to dust with a snap of her fingers, but…

It normally took ages to set up and establish a modicum of comfort, and since a decent number of men were ill, it meant more work for the healthy. However, Perceval did not begrudge the extra work. He wanted his fellow soldiers to recover so they were in fighting shape. It was after sundown by the time the camp was functional, and Perceval’s stomach growled. He settled in front of the main fire on a log, his supper of turnip and venison stew balanced in his lap. Michael sat off to the side,…

Chivalry is not Dead (An analysis of chivalry as observed in the Arthurian texts, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Song of Roland, Perceval, and Morte D’Arthur) Chivalry is commonly known as being gentleman-like. If someone has chivalry, he is respectful and holds the door for people. But where does this idea of chivalry come from? Back in the middle ages, the Code of Chivalry was born with the rise of King Arthur and his Knights. Scholar Chantry Westwell states, “The epic tales of King…

Perceval lay in bed and waited for Joan to return after her talk with Gawain. He was dying to tell her about the dream/vision he’d had when unconscious. The moment she entered the room, he sat right up. “Joan, I have to tell you something; you’ll think I’m mad, but when I was unconscious or whatever I was, I saw the future!” Joan sat down on the edge of the bed and took his hand. With an unreadable expression, she studied him. “Go on.” “I held our baby. He was a newborn, plump and pink.…

maidens, and ended with Perceval knighting Deryn. But the moment he said, “I dub thee Knight. Arise, Lady Deryn, Knight of Camelot,” his vision clouded and the sun sank behind thick gray clouds. A cold wind whipped along the beach, and Perceval knew he was being drawn back to his bed in Camelot. “I’m going back,” he muttered, his thoughts and words slow and thick. Deryn, with tears in her eyes, nodded. “Your pain is waking you. So let me say these last words: I love you, Perceval, as do Mum and…
