Shieldmaiden.

Sir Lionel was the son of King Bors and Queen Evaine of Gannes.
He set out to prove his name in battle in the holy lands.

In the year of our lord 1150 Sir Lionel set off for the holy land and joined with a large force of knights led by the great night Sir Baldwin who were setting out for Aintab in Turkey.

After a 5000 mile journey through France and Italy they arrived in August of that year in time for the greatest battle of the year.

Nur ad-Din's forces fell upon Sir Baldwin's column of knights who were escorting a local tribes leader and the Jewel of divine light from the temple of angmar to the city of Aintab for the crowning of their new high priestess.

By deploying his soldiers to protect the caravan of Noble's Sir Baldwin was able to get his non-combatants safely into the town of Aintab, where he & the over knights spent a restless night.

In the morning Sir Lionel was sent out with a small raiding party to scout out the area which did not look hopeful.

Nur ad-Din's forces set siege to the Castle and the new high priestess ordered that the Stone of light be taken from the castle. 

Sir Lionel was ordered to return the jewel of divine light to the monastery of the divine mother in the carpathian mountains.

The journey would be long and hard and fraught with difficulties.

The high priestess of the Temple of Light added one more burden to his heavy shoulders only a woman can carry the Jewel and a sister of the Temple of Light.

Sir Lionel was ordered to undergo the ritual of sisterhood and to become a woman then he would be able to take the jewel of divine light.

Sir Lionel remembering his Knightly duties undertook this task & became the lady Lynette.

Under the cover of Darkness Sir Lionel now in his female form with his Squire left the Castle and headed out across the open plains.

Sir Lionel notice there was a lot of things to get used to about his new body.

Like the way his newly formed breasts bounced up and down with every gallop of the horse & like the way the saddle hit him in his new sensitive areas between his legs which was disconcerting to him not to have his old friend there.

He faced many perils along his journey that he never thought he would.

He did not like the way men looked at him but as he was just a woman it was not his place to talk out of line.

With every passing day he got more feminine.

It was something to do with the stones influence over him & he found himself taking more care of his appearance and with every passing day he became more of a woman.

He was no longer bothered by the complications that came with being a woman and even when he got his visit from mother nature it seemed like the most natural thing for him to have it.

The most worrying thing to him was that he was starting to find men attractive and crave their attention and company.

He found himself dreaming of men taking him and bending his body to their will which made him masturbating a lot more to his Squires discomfort.

As the week's drew on you would never of guessed this woman used to be a man and one of the bravest and strongest nights.

Whenever they got into a skirmish with bandits he was not one to hide behind a tree and even though he had lost most of his strength he was still confident with a sword.

By the time they reach the Monastery he had made up his mind to stay a woman he did not know if it was the Jewels influence over him but it just felt like the right path for him.

He told the Reverend mother that he wanted to stay a sister of the divine light and as he brought the Jewel to them he was granted his desire.

They stayed there for three months before heading back to his family Castle.

The journey was just as dangerous & fraught with bandits & robbers.

As he crossed the rickety bridge across the stream onto his family's lands he fell off and landed in the mud something he had never done before.

He looked up as his clothes wade him down & he did not have the strength to pull himself out and had to rely on his Squire to go to 

his rescue.

Sir Baldwin had sent word to his family to expect him and explained what had happened to him.

His mother was delighted now to have a daughter but his father had lost the air to the throne and was not happy with his son's decision to stay a woman.

Between him and his father a compromise was made he would marry any nobleman his father wanted him to.

He felt ridiculous in the corset dress with his hair all made up and being introduced to the court as their new daughter the lady Lynette.

As he waits for his father to find him a mate he continues his duty as a shieldmaiden.

But it is a bit ridiculous when the night coming to the rescue of the damsel in distress is a woman & not a strong man.

The End.
