Sunset Over Camelot

"What news, Lancelot?" KIng Arthur asked his most fearless knight.

"Many brave knights were lost, my liege," Lancelot noted, "Mordred now controls most of the countryside."

"But Mordred would have gone nowhere without Morgana's help," Arthur looked at the sunset which seemed to be setting both literally and metaphorically on Camelot.

"How did Morgana achieve such power?" Lancelot queried.

"Morgana always had great magical powers," said Arthur, "her magical powers were so great that she was able to resurrect the Egyptian vampire Horus whose dust and ashly remains were brought to her from Egypt. It was Horus' advice given to Mordred that led to his great military victories. Mordred would have been able to achieve nothing on his own."

"In Merlin's library, there was a story that the Vampire Horus had been staked and killed," Lancelot recalled.

"Indeed," Arthur nodded, "he was killed with a wooden spear through the heart wielded by the great Roman general Pompey the Great in 48 BC. It was that particular action of Pompey's that led Horus' mother the Vampiress Isis to throw her support behind Julius Caesar in the Roman civil war."

"And now the Resurrected Horus' support of Mordred will lead to the demise of Camelot by the looks of it," Lancelot looked sadly at the golden spires of the magical city in the distance.

"Sadly on this Earth, it is often the case that all good things come to an end," Arthur walked wearily back to his tent.
