Percival

It was just after lunch time, and Sir Percival rocked his plump eight-month-old son in his arms as he paced his cottage back and forth, forth and back. "It's all right, little man," said Percival in a soothing voice, but Baby Percy didn't seem to agree. Thanks to colic and teething pain, Percy had whined and shrieked his way through the better part of the last week, and his cries had grown even sharper and louder since yesterday. But for some reason, the worst of the wailing seemed to occur in the

Meanwhile, Percival and Fleur went in separate directions, greeting people and thanking them for coming. During a quick break in the action, Merlin tapped Percival 's shoulder. "Remember what I said last year at the Gathering Day bonfire?" asked Merlin. "I 'll never forget. 'When you find love, hold onto its reins and do not let go for any reason. ' Those words helped me more than you 'll ever know." Merlin winked and moved on. Food came out, so Percival and Fleur took their seats. Percival could

During their southward travels to Camelot, Taran and Ero acted as father and son, they hunted, and Taran discovered his father – it still seemed strange to refer to Ero as “father” in his mind – was an excellent shot with a bow and arrow. Taran was a decent shot, too, though Kahl never was. Taran caught himself constantly watching Ero for clues about Taran’s own history and development.
