| I post here because i am not sure where else and this was reasonable.
What is the story behind Excalibur? a sword aye. i have heard in one it is pulled from stone, and another gifted by the lady of the lake.
The only other thing i can think of to ask at this moment is, while it certainly isnt in recorded history...... a war a great age ago... a war i refer to as the Black War, because when i see the enemy, i see no features, just black. any information on this, greatly appriciated.
oh..also there is a place i have to get to... in no true physical place that i can reach... but i have to find someone there, i know the looks, but i cam unable to set my mind to it, any suggestions?

| from what i recall, the sword was given first to merlin by the Lady of the Lake, and he used it to aid a king in battle against a mutual enemy. the king he helped in war was Luther, Arther's father. Luther after forging his kingdom housed a knight and his family in the castle. he convinced merlin to give him an illusion that would allow him to appear like the knight, who he sent off into war and his death, and then laid with that knight's wife, Igrain. the daughter, Morgan Le Fay, knew it wasn't her father, but Igrain was tricked. she became pregnant and gave birth to arther, dieing in childbirth. merlin took arther as his student, taught him manners and ethics, and told him that his father was spome blacksmith or something... when arther was a young man he told him the truth, and then had him pukk the sword from th eRock of Ages, which merlin had placed the sword in when he found out what Luther had done. you should watch the movie Merlin. ^_^ great film that. or better yet, read the books! | |

| we all ARE a part of it. ^_^ especialy the battles. because those historic battle sof lore, those were all fought more on the spiritual level than the material. it was for us that they were fought. for everyone. | |

| ^_^ this is where i pat your back.
my friend, you have no need to appologize for expression. t is what i hope to see more of from you. i love you for it. i too long for these battles and wars, these plunders and slaughters. and more besides. the chaos of it is beautifull. the passion and rage is ecstasy. and it has it's place and importance. luckily, i believe, the War is soon to come. and it too will be carried out both on the material and the spiritual planes. | |

| have you seenthe movie 300? at the end, it almost looks like a paneramic after King Leonidas falls... so horrible.. so wonderful...
im not one hungry for blood or pain or plunder, i fight because it is what i am. i am a fighter, a Dragon Knight. i want nothing more then to be loss to that motion... of reflex and reaction. of something that deals with both mind and body. wether that be in combat itself, or the plotting of a battle or entire campaign, i love it. its a feeling of freedom, when you fight for life, for death.
oh, a war soon? im not so sure myself... i thought one was but im not sure... i sense a storm, but not all storms give a tornado. besides, in these matters, in matters of time which is infinite, what is 'soon' but a description of something that will eventualy happen?
i dont want a war this lifetime, i dont like guns.... now if for some reason they all became defective... bombs, tanks all gone... and you and your bretheren you fight with are locked in a bond of trust and not truse... i shall fall to it with arms wide open.
what say you, brother? | |

| by the way, did you say that when you envision this "Black War" all you see is black? that sounds awfully familiar now i think of it. describes perfectly what i am fighting. | |
