Hey peeps!!! XP this is my first Fanfic so I hope you enjoy it XD. You can most likely guess I have a small obsession with Merlin, nut shhhh its a secret.

Chapter 1- Heading off

Today was a very special day. There was going to a very important tournament today and the final would be a fight till the death, only the king's finest knights would be taking part in this memorable occasion.

Merlin was stood in Arthur's chambers polishing his chain mail, he had gotten it so shiny you could use it as a mirror, for once Merlin was actually proud of himself and believed he had done a good job. "Merlin are you finished yet? I haven't got all day you know the crowd is waiting" called Arthur from behind the screen which he went behind daily to get changed. "Yes sir" Merlin replied placing the last piece of the armour on the table ready to be placed onto the prince. Soon after, Arthur walked out from behind the screen and stretched out his arms to allow Merlin to place the armour upon his body.

Several minutes later Arthur rose his head and began to speak, "Merlin if anything happens to me out there today, I want you to take care of Gwen" Merlin gave him a confused look in return. "Where has all of this come from?" keeping his eyes fixed upon Arthur. "To most people she would be indispensible but to me......she's not" he remained looking at the floor, Merlin had never seen his master so serious and worried before, and quite frankly it worried him. "Come of it you'll be fine" Merlin said shoving him slightly on the shoulder.

"Merlin there's one thing that you should always remember when you're with me....."

"Oh yeah and what's that sire?"

"Never ever shove me again" And with that he picked up his sword and walked out the room. Merlin was left standing there looking at the door which had been closed by one of his closest friends.

The seats around the stadium were filled with loads of people who had turned out for this glorious event. They had all came to see their finest knight s of Camelot fight, as well as the kings song Arthur Pendragon.

The king opened the ceremony, and then the fighting began.

There we go people I'll try my best to write and get chapter 2 up soon but I'll try my best I hope you enjoyed it and please R&R. xxxx
