Based on King Arthur and the Legend of the Sword. 

Twenty years have passed since the death of the beloved king of Camelot, his reign ending so suddenly after he had given a speech reassuring his people that his health was well and that they shouldn't be worried for him. The following morning the news of his passing spread like wildfire throughout the city, people cried and mourned the loss of their beloved monarch. Yet, in times of great loss people would easily be swayed to accept things that they would later regret in life; this being one of those times. The younger brother of the king saw how heartbroken his brother's people were and insisted that 'until a new king be crowned, I will be honoured to accept the title in my brother's place.' Many people didn't have a say in the matter as the government saw the brother as a miracle sent down by god to aid them through this tough time, little did they know that they had placed a devil on the throne. 

Twenty years have passed since the crowing of their new king and slowly people began to realise how different both brothers were when in power. The eldest was wiser and sought out peace when war was on the horizon meanwhile his brother was bloodthirsty and ruthless in battle, the powerful became the poor almost immediately as the city slowly fell into debt and poverty. Some still stayed in their high positions but a majority felt hatred and betrayal from their new king, many were forced to fight in wars that in some cases were meaningless. 

Resistance grew against the new king and although many saw it as treason, others were more than happy to join the cause in secret. However, the resistance often received some other backlash as they believed in a fairy-tale that had been brought down for generations. Camelot is a vast land that harbours many different things like forests, lakes, mountains and a coastline, fortunately our story only extends to two of those. 

There is a lake just beyond the city that is said to bear the presence of a young maiden that possesses a strong amount of magic, locals have taken to calling her the Lady of the Lake. She is said to be beautiful with her brown hair and her deep ocean blue eyes, a resemblance of the Greek creature siren however her propose wasn't for sinking sailors but to help aid the people of Camelot whenever she saw fit. However, her presence in the lake hasn't been detected since the death of the king, twenty years ago. The Resistance saw her disappearance as a sign that she too wouldn't live under the false pretences of an unworthy king. 

Another story that was more crazier than the last, was the tale of a iron rich stone that revealed a sword's hilt from it's surface. The stone was said to have magically appeared the morning after the king's death, however as fate would have it. The stone had broken the weak structure it had appeared on and therefore set it's course to the bottom of the harbour just on the edge of Camelot's shores. The Resistance believed that the stone had been sent by their late king as a test to prove the worthiness of the next king, he who was to pull the sword from the stone would in turn be the next born king. 

Yet, like all fairy-tales people were often divided on their authenticity. Some saw method behind the madness while other's refused to even offer their opinions on the matter. However, after twenty years of false hopes and secret rebellion quickly came to a halt when a fishmonger announced screaming through the city that the stone had officially revealed itself. 

The few thousand in the city's population had flocked towards the harbour which had - for some unknown reason - been blocked off around the stone. Planks of wood piled high on top of each other acted as a bank against the soft waves lapping against it, it's creation or development having yet to be discovered. 

Eventually, all good things had to come to an end. The hype that the sword brought was quickly overlooked when people were forced to attempt to pull it from the clutches of the stone, many having tried and failed. 

"We're down to the last couple men of age sire" the right hand of the king announced one morning at their annual meeting. "the people are beginning to loose hope as you have suggested and since we haven't been able to find the young prince I suppose that he may have caught the pox and died like many others." 

"I highly doubt that" the king declined with his head shaking from side to side, his eyes glued to the map of the next kingdom he wanted to fight against. "my brother's genetic makeup was a lot better than mine as a child, he often spoke of how I would be the one to go first since I was always the weaker one between us both. Pity that I managed to overcome the tip of my sword unlike him." the king chuckled, happily reminiscing that horrid night. 

"My lord we have branded almost every boy in the kingdom, could there be a chance that the boy you seek isn't even in Camelot anymore?" 

"There is a chance" the king admitted with a small nod of his head. Turning he gazed up at the man next to him and grinned evilly "but it's about the same amount of chance that your wife has fucked me." 

The knight stared at his king in horror, his jaw dropping as the king simply rolled his eyes in annoyance. The knight quickly unhinged his jaw and allowed it to close before calmly excusing himself from the room, the remaining knights watched their leader retreated through the doors with sad expressions on their faces. 

"Now" the king announced clearing his throat. "you are to round up the remaining boys who haven't been branded yet and place them in the pit, I want this born king to be found and killed on sight. I will remain king and we will continue to dominate the lands around us, Camelot will only grow from here!" The soldiers had no choice but to choir together in fake enthusiasm to their king's words. 

"Open the door, in the name of the king!" one the soldiers yelled, his fist slamming against the wooden door of the red light establishment. "Open this door!" 

The girls inside squealed and laid off their partners as the voices only got louder from outside. A tall brown haired man walked down the stairs, his eyebrows furrowed together as he turned towards their entrance security guard. "Go on Billy, you can open it." 

Billy nodded his head and allowed the door to open, three soldiers dressed in black material topped with silver chains and armour stalked inside. Their faces visible to everyone in the front room of the establishment, the tall brown haired boy tilted his head and glanced back to his two best friends. 

"Before you take another step why don't you tell me what you're looking for mate," the tallest chuckled swiftly standing in front of the leader. "maybe we'll be able to help you." 

"The Resistance is on the move again, they hit one of the carriage containing gold up North. We heard that he is in your establishment-" 

"Woah, hold your horses big guy" The brunette chuckled grabbing the soldier by his arm to halt him from advancing any further into the brothel. "why don't you tell me more about this story before you jump ahead into destroying this place." 

"I'll take your hands for that" the soldier hissed, staring into the brunette's brown eyes. The boy simply smiled and shrugged his shoulders, already hearing the sound of his loyal policeman behind the remaining soldiers by the door. 

"Peter, I told you about this establishment!" Sergeant Greyback hissed at his younger officer, the soldier unable to look away from the tall boy before him. "Get the hell out of here this instant!" 

"He touched me sir!" the soldier shouted, turning to look at his boss who simply rolled his eyes at the comment. 

"Well in places like this you should could yourself lucky, people have to pay for that." 

The boy watched with a sly smirk on his lips as the soldiers filed out of the building one by one, the one he had grabbed by the arm blushing a beautiful pale red on his way out. "So Greyback what's going on?" 

"The Resistance hit one of the king's carriages up north, we managed to shoot him in the shoulder so he's bleeding but reports have come in saying that he's been spotted around the area, have you seen him?" 

"I'm not in charge of who comes in and who goes out, I don't know if you notice but this place is quite large and even though the possibility of you finding anyone is pretty slim. I would be more than happy to help you I your search however, you know the rules you gotta pay-" 

"He's wearing a green cloak, seen him?" 

"Boys?" the taller wondered, glancing over his shoulder to his two best friend who each shrugged their shoulder's in response. 

"Back room, now!" the Sergeant ordered clapping his hands and ushering the reminder of his men out of the brothel. He followed behind the three best friends and closed the door to the pantry over when they were all settled. "I need you to tell me something Chanyeol." 

"Don't you always have something for me to do Greyback?" the boy sighed, offering the last chair to the police captain. "but seeing as how I am a law-abiding citizen.. what can I help you with?" 

"Why don't you tell me a story about a girl named Olivia, a Viking called Blackbeard and some rebellion graffiti?" 

"Are you writing a book Greyback?" Chanyeol wondered, his arms naturally crossing over his chest as he turned to face the man with a smile. He was standing unlike the rest of the men in the room, his height being somewhat of an advantage over them. 

"Just spit it out, Jongin, Minseok you too!" the chief demanded looking at the two boys in turn before his eyes automatically fell back on Chanyeol. "from the beginning if you wouldn't mind."

"I woke up got dressed and went downstairs to say good morning to the girls" Chanyeol sighed, his chest falling as he let out a breath "but then I realised that Olivia wasn't there-" 

"She's a lovely girl" Minseok added, looking Greyback in the eye. 

"A nice girl" Jongin continued, his eyes narrowing in the police chief's direction. 

"She works here" Chanyeol smiled, noticing how old Greyback had to keep turning his head to look at them throughout the story. "then me and the boys did some housekeeping, paying the rent and organising everyone's pay as well as the health care orders for the girls." 

"Then?" 

"Then Minseok told us that Jimin was having some trouble so I said that we best go and help him-" 

"Which Jimin,  the foreign girl, the football player or the comedian be clear Chanyeol which Jimin?" 

"Our Jimin, Park Jimin he runs the training camp over by the harbour in town. He said he had gotten into some trouble with Vikings-" 

"Are you sure that you didn't see anyone else before you saw Jimin?" Greyback wondered, looking between the trio again. Chanyeol considered it for a moment before clicking his fingers. 

"We saw Minhyuk!" 

"Which Minhyuk, Rocky, B Bomb, Kang-" 

"You're giving me a headache" Chanyeol stressed looking at the chief of soldiers like he was an alien from another planet.

"Lee Minhyuk, who knows Shownu?" Minseok sighed rubbing his temples, clearly agitated by the whole thing happening before him. 

"He's a trafficker, he was trading furs in our territory without paying a fee. We thought it best that we explain it to him." Jongin smiled, unlike his friends he seemed to be the only calm one right now. The other two boys holding their heads in mock annoyance. 

"Where did you put the money?" 

"What money?" Jongin questioned in surprise. 

"Money?" Minseok echoed with his brow raised. 

"What money?" Chanyeol added, his lips curling up ever so slightly at the state he and his friends were placing Greyback in. "You're all over the place, you're not keeping your questions in a straight line at all. I'm trying to tell you a story here and you keep interrupting, anyway I don't have any money because after you've taken your share and I'm finished looking after the poor" he pointed at Jongin who shrugged his shoulders with a pitiful smile on his face "and the needy" he threw his finger in Minseok's direction "I'm broke." 

"Minhyuk and the furs you were saying?"

"Oh so we're back to the story now are we? How convenient for you" Chanyeol hissed, glaring at the chief before cracking a grin. 

"Did he pay the fee?" 

"Of course he paid" Jongin gasped, the question having some effect on him. 

"He's a good lad Minhyuk!" Minseok explained, taking a drink of orange juice from his tankard on the table. 

"What is this whole thing about Greyback?" 

"You missed something, the rebel gratify. A young boy, your boy" he said looking straight at Minseok "Mark" 

"He's a good boy" Chanyeol spoke words dripping with venom as he pointed at the chief with his index finger, he wanted nothing more than to get that point across. "don't get the wrong end of the dog shit stick Greyback, he's an outstanding citizen and he didn't even know what he was doing-" 

"If you can catch him, so can we" Greyback smirked, Chanyeol holding back as much as he could. 

"I think it's best that we head back to Jimin and the trouble with the Vikings" he stated through gritted teeth, Greyback swallowing a lump in his throat as he noticed taking note to be extra cautious around Chanyeol now. 

"They hurt Olivia" Jongin cleared his throat looking the chief in the eye. "they cant do that." 

"That can never happen Greyback." Minseok echoed, his face scrunching up as his words got the better of him. 

"She's a friend of mine and he was going to have to fix what he started" Chanyeol chuckled recalling the encounter from hours ago. 

"They had been warned that they had to pay." Jongin nodded towards Chanyeol who fist bumped him from across the table. 

"How did you get money from a Viking?" Greyback laughed, his entire body trembling as he looked at the trio before him. "That's never been done before." 

"I can feel a joke coming" Chanyeol commented looking at his friends for support, they only shook their heads knowing what he meant. "You ask them for it." 

"You were unarmed but still managed to put a knife to Blackbeard's throat, where did you get the knife from?" 

"Well you see I was unarmed yes but Minseok wasn't from the next rooftop, he shot an arrow into his buddy's leather covered thigh and I got the blade from him. They were trying on the furs that Minhyuk was trying to hide from us earlier, I asked them about the money and they gave it to me after he gave up his dignity. That's your story Greyback"  

For those of you wondering, which Mark. This Mark ㅋㅋㅋ
