king arthur and the body of sir (cei)
god kay makes me so sad. idk!! it's something about how his character becomes transformed in later narratives to the point of unrecognizability. it's lonely to read about!!! it's like you've buried someone, and then you turn around and someone who looks like them is standing right there, but it's also Not Them.

Q: Clay, what do you think about Kai's clothes? There's not enough armor on it, don't you think?
In fact, I don't know how correct the translation is here, but I hope everything is ok.
Everything here is drawn according to the canons of my fanfic (in Russian):
Для русскоговорящих добавлю, что этот фф, разумеется, так же есть на Фикбук и Ваттпад (но здесь наименее отредактирован).

There was a strange thing about Cei: nine nights and nine days
could he hold his breath under water; nine nights and nine days could he go without sleep. No doctor could heal a wound from Cei’s sword. Cei couldn’t be beaten. He could be as tall as the tallest tree in the forest when he wanted. There was another strange thing about him: when the rain was heaviest, a hand’s breadth in front of his hand and a hand’s breadth behind would be as dry as what was in his hand itself, so great was his body-heat; and when the cold was heaviest on his companions, he would be their kindling to light a fire.
Culhwch and Olwen, trans. Craig Davis
guess who finally got to read Linda Gowans' Cei and the Arthurian Legend! new thoughts have been unlocked, ideas are coming together! I also got my hands on some scans from medieval armor reference books, which is also essential to the ideas
the 'unless god etc' quote is from Pa Gur/What Man Guards The Gate
When he drank from a horn,
he would drink for four;
when he came into battle,
he would kill like a hundred.
Unless God himself should perform it,
Cei could not be killed.
(trans. Craig Davis)
