   Summary

   This was a waste of a perfect spring day.

   The first truly warm and pleasant day of the season had made itself known this morning, summoning Arthur from his slumber in a rare peaceful moment. That is, before his memory had caught up to him, snaking up his chest and catching in his throat in cold dread.

   As he stood in the courtyard, waiting irritably for his betrothed to ride through the castle gates, he wished for a different day. A different fate; a chance for his own search for love.

   But that day would not come.
