Avalon High Page #3

Do you want to do this or not?

I guess.

Allie, do you want to

introduce us to your friend?

Oh, yeah. This is Miles.

We're doing a paper together.

Nice to meet you, young man. Come on in.

I don't understand.

What's the...

Seems like a nice guy.

Reminds me of me.

Miles, do you

want some pie?

Can we just find the book we're going

to use and call it a night, Miles?

We have a lot of time

to do this.

I always do my assignments

in half the time allotted.

Why?

To prove that I'm better

than everyone else.

And more modest.

That, too.

That was sarcasm.

How is it sarcasm

if you're right?

Never mind.

Okay. I cannot find anything on

The Order of the Bear anywhere.

Can't we just

ask your parents?

Are you kidding?

If I tell them I'm doing a paper on King

Arthur, they'll never leave me alone.

No, no,

I will find it myself.

I wonder what

they ate in Camelot.

Mutton,

with a side of beets.

Mmm. And sage water,

but only from the north.

I didn't even know

I knew that!

It must've seeped

in subconsciously

while my parents were going

on and on about King Arthur.

And on and on.

And on.

Miles?

You have any ice?

Yeah, yeah.

It's in the freezer.

Here,

I'll get it for you.

Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow!

Here you go.

Back to work.

What?

How did you know I was

going to need some ice?

Coincidence.

No, you did the same thing

earlier with the shoelaces.

It's not that hard to guess.

You seem pretty clumsy.

But...

Just drop it, okay?

You got it.

Thank you.

Now, can't we just ask your parents

about this Order of the Bear thing

and save some time?

Fine.

The Order of

the Bear. Anyone?

Have you

heard of it?

Whoa.

Jackpot!

The Order of the Bear

is an ancient organization,

which believes that King Arthur

will one day be reincarnated.

Right. And when is

this going to happen?

Arthur will return

when he is truly needed

to bring the world

out of the dark

and into a new age

of enlightenment.

You mean

bring back Camelot?

It's a metaphor.

You can't

be sure.

I'm pretty sure.

He can't be sure.

But even as a

piece of fiction,

it's actually

quite interesting.

Let's see. Ah!

"As the keepers

of the prophecy,

"it falls to

members of the Order

"to search for potential Arthurs

in each and every generation.

"But beware the Dark Forces.

"Led by a reincarnation

of Mordred,

"determined to find the

next Arthur and destroy him

"before he can realize the

prophecy. " What they're saying...

If Arthur isn't

found soon,

Mordred and his followers will

send us back into the DarAges.

Ignorance, humiliation, suffering...

High school.

It's no joke, Allie.

Some more seriously

than others.

Some people are

fanatics about it.
