Just one more mess

by Cearbhall Kingshield

Every time we hurdle yet another obstacle another one rears its ugly head in front of us. We arrived at the Chapel only to find that the Archbishop is dead and that the other bishops are still squabbling over who the successor should be. Do they not realise the importance of all this? Hang tradition and just put the bloody crown on Martin's head so we can go and finish this. Is the Archbishop imbued with special power that makes him the only one who can crown a King? If not then let us get on with it, we can't afford delays!
 
Whilst we waited Arthur raised his baseless issues again and the duel was fought. I am happy to say that Martin beat him, quite comfortably in the end. Martin did the honourable thing and chose to fight without using any of the artefacts so he and Arthur were on equal footing. Arthur is a skilled warrior and showed his prowess but as I said, Martin won out in the end. He ran Arthur through and then used his King's magic to heal him in front on everyone. Hopefully Arthur has seen the error of his ways and will get in line, he his a fine warrior and shrewd commander, we'll need him but I doubt he'll change.
 
All of this here just feels like one more mess to clean up, just one more mess to sort before we can continue. It is the end of the world we're facing so I shouldn't be too surprised that everywhere was in such a state. So far we've fixed everything we've come across and here will be no different. A new Archbishop will be chosen tomorrow (hopefully), Martin will be crowned and then we'll fight and kill the Other King and his army.
