Writing Prompt [WP] It was foretold that in Britain's hour of greatest need, King Arthur would return from Avalon. 3 things we didn't expect: (1) it would be after an alien invasion, long enough after that hope itself had died. (2) his knights came with him. (3) one knight was strangely.. (to be continued in post)

...strangely quick to learn new technology, rapidly becoming one of the world's top hackers in addition to being a knight.

And to clarify (sorry the prompt is so long), I just mean King Arthur returns NOT as a defender during the invasion, but after humanity is definitively conquered and people have struggle under alien tyranny for at least a few years. Maybe 1-2 generations. The trauma of the conquest is still within living memory

Writing Prompt [WP]There was no escaping the cult that captured us - Surrounded by a circle of runes, I hugged my cat as tightly as I could, even in the last moments of my life, even as my vision faded to black...When my senses returned to me, I was covered in fur, with a tail and four paws - I had become my cat.
