"Wha, what? I'm not a kid!"
*He tries to stand up and starts wobbling and almost falls over because he's trying to stand on his toes.*
"Wa-Wait am I human?!?!"

[b]Onlookers laugh.[/b] "You're only, what, 12? Don't try to grow up too fast." [b]Meanwhile, a man approaches a stone in the middle of the courtyard. In the stone, there is a sword. The man attempts to pull it out, but does not succeed.[/b] [spoiler]If you're confused, you're basically experiencing Arthur's past as though you ARE him.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I know exactly what's going on... I know who King Arthur is... But you never said Sketch couldn't control his own actions in the memories so he is currently learning what it's like to not be a furry. One problem though is Sketch doesn't know the story of King Arthur so...[/spoiler] *Sketch watches as the man fails to pull the sword out of the stone.* "Why are you guys trying to pull that sword out? It's imbedded in the rock, none of you are going to be able to remove it..."
-
[spoiler]Yeah, I know Sketch doesn't know his past.[/spoiler] [b]The man looks at Sketch.[/b] "You don't know? Whoever pulls that sword out becomes king of the lands. Nobody seems to be able to do it, though...." [b]He sighs.[/b]
-
"Really? Do you know how dumb that sounds? I bet someone was just trying to prank you guys..." *Sketch stumbles up and starts inspecting the sword. He holds onto the handle and starts repeatedly pulling up to see if it wiggles at all.*
-
[b]The sword comes out easily at the first tug. The onlookers are shocked.[/b]
-
"Waaaah!" *Sketch falls over backwards, holding the sword pointing straight upwards.* *Thinking "Why is everything on this planet magic?"
-
[b]The onlookers are silent, but then begin to cheer.[/b] "King Arthur! King Arthur! King Arthur!" [b]Time seems to skip ahead, and Sketch is sitting at a desk, staring at Excalibur. Wondering what he should do.[/b]
-
"Huh? Where am I now? Am I back in his apartment?!"
-
[b]A woman, most likely Arthur's mom, walks in.[/b] "Arthur? What are you doing?"
-
"Who are you supposed to buh?" [spoiler]Had to say it...[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Oh mah lawd.[/spoiler] "A-Arthur? Are you, um, joking, or something?" [b]She laughs slightly.[/b] "I-It's not very funny....."
-
*He chuckles a little bit and then stops suddenly.* "Really, who are you supposed to buh?"
-
"A-Arthur, I'm your [i]mom....[/i]"

-
[b]Arthur's mom sighs.[/b] "Artie, there's a man downstairs waiting for you. I hired a professional to train you in swordplay-you need to learn how to use that sword of yours."
-
"Oh, okay mom..." *He goes and gets the sword and takes one step then falls down the stairs. When he hits the bottom he gets up.* "I'm okay!"
-
[b]A man with a black tuxedo, black glasses, and black hair stands there.[/b] "You must be Arthur. Hello, my king. My name is Guldan."
-
"Ooo... Nice tux..."
-
[b]He sighs.[/b] "Well, I'm come here to train you. Let us begin." [b]He leads Sketch to a courtyard, where he draws a sword.[/b]
-
*He holds Excalibur upside-down.* "Oh no!!! You're going to ruin your tux!!!"
-
"If you can land a hit on me...." [b]He strolls towards Sketch, and flips Excalibur right-side-up.[/b] "Let us begin."
-
*Before he reaches Sketch, he flips it into the air and catches it by the handle.*
-
[b]Guldan sighs.[/b] "Arthur, that is not swordplay...." [b]Time speeds up, and Arthur is 17, the say before his birthday. He speaks to Guldan.[/b] "I trained you well, these 6 years, Arthur."
-
"I was already good with a sword though..."
-
[b]Guldan laughs.[/b] "I'm sure you were, Arthur. Tomorrow, you become a man. And with that, the responsibilities as King fall upon your shoulders. Are you ready?"
