Six moons had passed since Sir Galahad’s vision of the Grail, yet none of the knights of King Arthur’s court had further wisdom on where it should be sought. Several had already perished on forays to lands unknown, and a fog of gloom hung over the ones who remained. Would any among their number ever behold that treasure beyond price?
Hope appeared on a chill winter’s night, when a courier arrived bearing a single sheet of parchment. On that parchment was the diagram below:
“What is it?” asked Sir Lancelot.
“A Chessboard,” replied Sir Galahad, “the Game of Kings. And a clue to our deliverance!”
“A clue!” exclaimed Sir Gareth. “But what is its meaning?”
And so Galahad called the remaining knights to the round table to wrestle with this enigma. To the left of him sat Sir Kay, then to his left Sir Lucan, then Sir Bors and Sir Mordred, Sir Safir, Sir Tristan, Sir Griflet, Sir Gareth, and Sir Lancelot. Following him, Sir Dagonet, then Sir Ywain, Sir Tor and finally, King Arthur. And so they conferred for days and nights in what once more ultimately proved a bootless task, for though they were well-versed in the code of chivalry, they were much less familiar with the codes that geocachers far more regularly unravel. But perhaps you, wise one, will have better luck, and will be able to aid Sir Galahad in his quest.
