re-read the early bit of the prologue
I would, but I can't get in. I either get web page denied, or just the headers. No story.
As for what Kincaid said... You mean - My father was the enemy of the man you loved and whose memory you protect.” I'll have to think on that. Who were Arthur's enemies? There was Mordred... and Kay was not so keen on him, although I seem to remember he got over that. Who else? I can't remember at the moment.
See, my further guesses are merely betraying my lack of of a real clue *g*

How do you do that? Your timing is amazing. Just got out of the shower.

Right. I moved it when I posted the new chapter last night. Oops. I do that every week to keep track of this one since I can't post publicly (damned publishers, and this one's gone flaky). It's on my LJ now. Here. (http://swweeks.livejournal.com/27637.html)

Now you can access the prologue again. Figure out who is the enemy (and you've really already done this), and I'll tell you it's the father bit that's important in Kincaid's comment. Which knight was the known enemy of Arthur's enemy? Now, who was his son (who was also a knight)?

Damn, I'm the fucking Sphinx!

Okay. This isn't it, because it's on a disc at my office. Will have to fix that as soon as I get there today. At any rate, it's close enough for the current purpose. Here. (http://swweeks.livejournal.com/24147.html)

Now. Done. *g*

I seem to have done away with the prologue. Oops. Hold on.
