"And you will be great, Arthur. How would you rather pass? As an old man, doddering away while your kingdom moves forward without you, waiting for you to die and your heir to replace you? Or as a warrior, at the height of your reign, struck dead nobly, on the battlefield by my hand? Old men die forgotten, Arthur. But that death? Stories will be told about it centuries from now." I LOVE this line. Enjoyed the rest of the story, but this was just perfect. Really nice job, well done.
