Sword of the Rightful King
“Since neither of the two big dray horses could be persuaded into the high tor, the guards themselves had to drag the wagon in, set the heavy stone onto the cart, and then haul it out again.
By the time the horses were rehitched to the cart, stomping their enormous feet, it was nearing supper.
And by the time the creaking cart with its heavy burden was at the castle, it was past time for eating.
“Put the stone in the throne room,” Kay advised. “It reeks of majesty.”
“No,” Arthur said, “it wi...ll go in the churchyard so everyone can see it. That stone belongs to all the people.”
SO BY MOONRISE it was set down right where the king wanted it.

A few said that it was a dark artifact and should be buried at the crossroads, but they were quickly hushed. Several people raised their voices to declare their allegiance to the king as he was, without further testing.MoreLess
