Camel drew in the wool smell and the smell of geraniums and the smell of the river.
Camel stares through the canvas end of an unfinished greenhouse and watches his father lift a long-stemmed red rose and hold it up in the air, wave it at his audience of flowers, then stick the bloom into his dark mouth, extinguishing the flame without a word, eating fire in secret.
Camel looks down at his own arm, the two creases inside his elbow, smooth, pale skin inside his forearm, a curved ridge where a vein runs just beneath his skin, the freckles, the hair and how it's bent like grass in a breeze.

 Battle of Camlann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A possible site is Queen Camel in Somerset which is close to the hill fort near South Cadbury (identified by some with King Arthur's Camelot), where the River Cam flows beneath Camel Hill and Annis Hill.
The sites most consistent with the theory of a northern Arthur are Birdoswald or Castlesteads near Hadrian's Wall (one of which was named, in Latin, "Camboglanna"--there is debate about which).
Other identifications have been offered, the River Camel along the border of Cornwall, and the River Camlann in Eifionydd in Wales.

 GO BRITANNIA! TRAVEL GUIDE: Slaughter Bridge - Britannia's Magical History Tour
There is no River Camblann in Cornwall, today, but this reference has come to be understood as the River Camel, and local legend places the site of the great battle in a "water meadow" alongside Slaughterbridge (see photo at right), about a mile north of Camelford.
It is the largest of the rivers along the north Cornwall coast, and is called in the vernacular Dunmere; but in the royal grant of privileges to the canons and burgesses of Bodmin it is called Alan, which may be a reference to the Alaune (editor's note: in modern English, the River Allen).
It was beside this river that Arthur fought his last battle, and evidence of this, in the form of bones and harness, is uncovered when the site is ploughed.
