Just something I wrote in
the car! My brother kept trying to peek over my shoulder!!! I had to
bury my note book under my hair xD
'Tis pretty similar to the
finale of Le Morte D'Arthur. (spoilers there, I guess!) But
like...ADJUSTED!!! (There won't be any more chapters or anything.
Just a little thingy.)
Hope it's ok (:
Nimueh strode forwards, grinning wickedly. "I once said...it was not your destiny to die at my hand." The enchantress knelt down to Arthur's eye level, staring him straight in the eyes with her sharp icy gaze, face twisted into a threatening grin.
"But destiny can change, Prince Arthur."
Nimueh stood and raised her hands
and face to the blackened sky, before turning back to Arthur, fire
crackling in her palms.
"Good bye, young Pendragon."
Arthur gave her one last defiant glare, before closing his eyes, bravely awaiting the end.
"Destiny must be
fulfilled."
A familiar voice echoed through the air.
Arthur
opened his eyes.
"Surely even you know that,
Nimueh."
Merlin stepped through the fog, fists clenched,
glare fixed on the evil witch.
"Merlin, Arthur rasped.
Merlin
couldn't look at him. Not with what he was about to do.
"You
shouldn't have touched him, Nimueh." Merlin spat.
Nimueh cackled.
It was to be her
last laugh.
The warlocks hand shot out, golden
sparks erupting from his palm, merging together, dancing and
crackling, before shooting forward and surrounding Nimueh.
The
sparks began to fade.
"Is that all y-"
The sparks exploded, with a
deafening roar, swarming together to form a magnificent, glowing,
amber phoenix.
It was beautiful.
Beautiful and deadly.
The bird arched and swooped,
surrounding Nimueh with its colossal wings.
Wind raged around the
two figures, spreading the fire that burst from the crisped earth,
circling the cursed woman, seas surging beneath them. The furious
elements began to encircle their victim, closing in smaller and
smaller.
Combusting spectacularly one final time in a burst of
colour, the energy seeped into the stone in the centre of the Isle of
the Blessed, along with Nimueh's soul.
The rock glowed stunning amber, the
same golden sparks rising from its surface, teeming together,
creating a masterpiece. They began to cool, their burning gold
morphing into shining silver.
Finally settling, the beautiful
particles formed their shape. A stone ornament of the phoenix,
perched proudly upon the stone, forever guarding the rock below, that
encased the soul of Nimueh for all eternity.
And all the while the warlock stood
firm, not moving a single bone, eyes emitting their burnt gold singe.
They were the brightest they had ever been, yet also the darkest.
Finally, Merlin let out a shuddering
breath, eyes sinking back to their passive, kind-hearted blue.
He
looked battered, exhausted, frail. Never a powerful sorcerer.
Resigning himself, he finally turned
to look at Arthur, who was vigorously shaking his head, eyes
wide.
"You're a sorcerer..."
Betcha' really don't want to upset Merlin now, do you ;)
This REALLY isn't usually
the kind of thing I would write.
I can't really bare the idea of
Arthur feeling betrayed by Merlin. ):
Sorry. I know I use too many
short sentences in this. And say "golden sparks" WAY too
often!!!
But yeah, I hope it was ok for you guys.
Thanks for
reading this!
