Fill- Challenge 48 (orig)

 (Was thinking a bit  about Camelot recently bc a series I watch did a story arc there. So trying to do a bit of that vein- this more likely than not won't be expanded, at least not right now)

The young man listens carefully to the Lady in the Lake.  Her words strike a nerve with him.   It shouldn't be his destiny to protect the kingdom- he is barely seventeen, practically a boy.   No one can tell him to go and retrieve a golden chalice from a cave, even a cave guarded by dragons. But he ponders it for awhile.  There's a risk he won't come back, never to see those who care about him again: doomed to be remembered only as the knight who ended up as prey for a dragon.  But the chalice is the key, the key to ending the conflict and uniting all the kingdoms together. He could be renowned as a knight who brought peace. 
No more time to think- he climbs onto his horse.  It's time to be part of destiny.
