Chapter 1

"Come in" King Arthurs deep voice said. It was all sore for yelling at the knights yesterday during training. 'They could be so clumsy sometimes, almost as bad as Merlin.' Arthur chuckled quietly thinking of how no one could be as clumsy as Merlin.

The Guards opened up the doors to the thrown room. That's when Arthur saw the man who had knocked.

He was a large man in smelly old torn cloths. He looked as if they were his only cloths and he had spent years wearing them. 'and probably never washed them' Arthur thought with another chuckle.

The man walked confidently up to Arthur as if he were a noble and not a poor druid. 'He was sorta worried. What if everything didn't go as planned? What if something went wrong? He had heard so many prophecies about the king.' Then he got a grip on himself. This was his mission, he had to complete it. Arthur thought he saw a worried look cross the mans face for a brief second before it was replaced with a determined look.

"I am glad that you could come. I would like to talk to you about bringing peace between the druids and Camelot." Arthur said looking down at the dirty man. 'I know that this is dangerous, making an alliance with someone with magic. Dad would never have done this. But we need their supplies, and they keep attacking us, I have no choice' Arthur had made up his mind. He was going to put all thoughts of magic aside and make the alliance.

The 2 men spent the next few hours talking and discussing treaties, It was a long and boring event for both the men, but it had to be done. The druid man let his hand fall from the table he was sat at, and quietly pulled his dagger from his pants. That's when he felt it. The presents of strong magic. He chose to ignore it though, he was on a mission. A mission to kill the king.
