An Unexpected visit

Arthur calmed down starts to breathe more calmly, Lisa runs into the infirmary with a scared look on her face but she then looks at Arthur and feels more at ease "What happened Arthur?" he sits there silently trying to remember what happened.

"Good question, but, everyone died... that's the only I can't get out of my head that and his name" everyone around listened, to hear that the whole army that was sent died but Arthur in the assault, speculation began to spread around everyone thinking that Arthur is making ritual sacrifices for the enemy or trying to destroy the kingdom itself. But he's the only person who knows the truth.

Arthur sits up on the bed staying calm and goes to stand up red marks appear like the last time he was in the infirmary bed, but instead of sweating a lot and screaming he just sits there in shock like there's a fear of something.

The doctors and nurses bow to Arthur and leave him and Lisa be. Lisa looking a little shocked walks up and sits next to him, "are you alright my love?" Arthur nods and manages to push out a few words "I need rest... ill be back tomorrow" she nods and leaves with the kids waiting, Emily asks Lisa, "is father alright?" Lisa doesn't say anything but grabs both of their hands and leaves for the castle.

In the Infirmary, Arthur rests and is fast asleep, waking up he's in a desert in the middle of the night with the sand around him still a little hot, he gets up from the sand then feels a little sting across his forehead.

he touches it and feels the sting again then putting his hand in front of him he sees blood, his blood, he tears a part of his sleeve off and ties it around his forehead keeping the blood from dripping down his face, he walks forward and finding out the desert just went on, and on, and on further and further nothing he collapses over onto the sand that is now cold and freezing.

looking up with a blurry vision he sees a kingdom buried underneath the orange sand, he gets up and limps over, he sees a skeleton at the front gate with a sword, getting closer he picks it up and looks at the sword. At that moment he realizes, "what is my sword doing here...if this is my sword and this came from..."

A voice is then heard by Arthur as he whips his head around grasping the sword, "Ishfield you damn bastard!" Ishfield laughs with a hand on his side as he strolls nonchalantly toward Arthur "do not fret oh fellow king of mine there's no need for such hostility and quit pointing the heap of rusted dust at me this is only but a dream no?"

Arthur still griping his sword as he watches the rusted and aged sword turn to sand in his hand running through the gaps of his fingers, Ishfield laughs at Arthur and slaps his knee "oh my! that's better timing than expected... now where was I, OH that's right I'm here to tell you after our little encounter you did technically lose and almost die but I brought you home personally, no need to thank me."

Arthur stands his ground looking at him aggressively "the hell do you want!" Ishfield sits down onto a chair that appeared from the sand "again where was I, right you aren't winning this war well not anytime soon the only hint I can give is study up, and that in itself is a big hint" Arthur wakes up from that and looks around going to try and stand up then fell back down onto the bed and just takes a bit to think.
