Done, finally.

Well, after a long and bitter haul, the time has finally come that I can bid goodbye to......building my Classic Castle Contest entry!







All three items are part of my entry into the training a knight category.

The story behind it is thus.

In the land of Bethel, young men selected to become knights under go a three stage training regime. Stage one is preparation, where as a page they are taught to overcome basic fears, like heights, heights over sharp rocks on a swaying bridge.

Stage two is selection. When a page reaches a certain point in his training, he is selected by one of the three Houses of Knights to become a squire to.

Stage three is education. The squire is then training in more complex parts of a knight's duties, such as diplomacy.

I am so, so glad to finally be done this entry. It took over a month to build, and I had some serious builder's block inbetween. Then there was taking the pictures. I hate taking pictures, it's just something that I do not care to do....plus my battery died a third of the way through....it was not pleasent. Never the less, it is done and submitted, and with a whole two days left (as of the time I submitted it).
