Hello Everyone,

I suspect you have all received yet another email as well. I am not exactly sure what it means, but I have my suspicions. I would be interested to hear your opinions.

Jonah H.

Good morning, Jonah. Yes. Another email. It has colored my morning a tad more paranoid.

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

Good morning, Nina. I don't think we should panic just yet, but we should proceed with caution. Do you have any thoughts?

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

Well...sort of. I attempted a scry last night pertaining to yesterday's email and it went haywire.

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

How so, if I might ask?

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

You'll call me craz All right. Keep in mind that...well these things don't typically work quite like this did.

It was a water scry. Images flashed on the surface almost too fast for me to catch. And then the bowl exploded.

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

That does seem a bit unusual (to say the least!). Do you recall ANY of the flashing images? Please understand I am NOT trying to pry, but I am wondering if they can help us figure this out.

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

One. It practically jumped out of the bowl at me. It was a well. A double circled well. Avalon

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

That reminds me of a vivid dream I once had as a child! I was on a mist-enshrouded island, and I saw a well. I looked into the well water ... and saw a man's face looking back at me.

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

Really! Could this What did you think of that?

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

Come to think of it, the man was wearing what appeared to be ... chainmail. He seemed extremely familiar, almost as if I had known him my entire life.

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

Chainmail. oh dear Almost? I think in circumstances like this there is no almost. Either you did or you didn't.

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

It's complicated, Nina ... yes, I HAVE known him my entire life. The same man has appeared in my dreams for as long as I can remember ... so much so that I think of him as inextricably part of myself.

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

Who is he, Jonah?

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

He is Gawain, Nina. He is me.

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

Well met, Gawain. I am Nimue.

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

I had a feeling that was so ... no wonder you and I get along so famously! How are you, my dear friend? It's been a while, hasn't it?

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

More than a little yes! And I am the same as I was yesterday, or last month when I ordered the Farmers Almanacs. Perhaps a bit more astounded, but that was to be expected for this, I think.

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

Just as I am the same bookstore owner I was yesterday, or even this morning. I have known for years, however, that I was more than I seemed. I am so glad we met in this life! Perhaps we will find more of the old gang in time. Tell me, my friend, what would you like me to call you ... Nina or Nimue?

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

I have always known. It's why I own a pagan supply store. I thought I was the only one so I too am glad to have found you! Gods, could you imagine Arthur in this age?

You can call me whatever you are most comfortable with. You are the first person I've ever told.

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

I believe this world needs more men--and women--like my uncle. Perhaps the legend that he and the rest of the Round Table gang are asleep in a cave somewhere, waiting to be awakened, is partially true. Perhaps we are all just now beginning to awaken and emerge from the cave.

It all sounds so Platonic, doesn't it?

If you don't mind, I think I will continue to call you Nina, just as I would prefer to go by Jonah. Neither of us should in any way, shape, or form be ashamed of who we are now. We simply know there is more to us!

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

Or they are already out there, not knowing who they are. Perhaps a nebulous email waits for them.

I don't mind at all. I have been Nina my whole life. Well. This one anyway.

You realize we simply have to sit down with some beers and popcorn to watch Excalibur now.

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

Oh, Nina, that sounds delightful! It's a date. Next time I am in Seattle, or if for some reason you happen to find yourself in Lincoln, Nebraska, let us do just that.

You realize, of course, it will be difficult to watch Excalibur with a straight face now.

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

You should try watching that BBC tripe Merlin. Absolutely ridiculous! I have to keep a box of tissues nearby for laughing so hard.

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

I have not seen that one, but I did recently watch Sword of the Valiant: The Legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. They made him ... er, me ... look more like He-Man than a Knight of the Round Table.

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

At least you're in some of these. I've been left out of most everything entirely.

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

That is true. I should not complain. Hmmm ... perhaps it is time for the Arthurians themselves to write a tell-all book?

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

Nobody would believe the truth. There's too much to undo.

[greengawain.insanejournal.com]

But it could be marketed simply as a new interpretation of the Arthurian legends ... and a select few individuals would recognize it as the truth. I wonder if we could draw in "the rest of us" with such a book?

[nina-drake.insanejournal.com]

Hmm. That is a good point. Now that we have found each other I am fascinated in who else might be out there.

All though I am hesitant in looking for Merlin.
