"Merlin!" A man with sun-kissed blonde hair, wearing a suit of armor and holding a sword was yelling for his Manservant. "Wait until I get my hands on him. I might even put him in the stocks for the night for this." He walked to the Physicians room and found Merlin sitting there reading a book. He didn't make his presence known until he was directly behind Merlin. "What do you think you are doing?"
At the sound of the man's voice the younger man jumped practically out of his seat and turned around to come face to face with an angry prince. "Reading sir?" Merlin said as he quickly closed the book and tried to hide it from the man's eyes.
"I can see that Merlin. I am but wondering why you are reading when you should be doing chores. Like washing my cloths, scrubbing the floors of my chambers. Does any of this ring a bell?" The man crossed his arms over his chest and gave a pointed look at Merlin.
I should have known that he would come looking for me to his chores. Prat."Yes Arthur. I know what chores you are talking about. I was but helping Gaius research something for a medicinal remedy." Merlin rolled his eyes as he stood up and headed for the Princes chambers.
"Oh and Merlin?" Arthur said with a smirk on his face.
"Yes?" Merlin said as he turned and look at Arthur with one eyebrow raised.
"Don't forget to muck out my stables while you're at it will you?" With that he slapped Merlin on the back and headed towards the training grounds where he is to meet the knights.
"Why don't you muck out the stables blah blah blah..."Merlin said as he threw his arms in the air and went to start his never ending torture.
In the Future
*Beep Beep Beep!*
"Dammit!" A hand shot out and slammed on the annoying alarm clock that was interrupting the slumbering persons sleep. "I hate this. I really do." A young woman with chestnut brown hair slightly below her shoulders slowly got out of bed and headed for her bathroom for her morning shower.
"Hey!" There were harsh knocks on her bedroom door that could be heard in the neighbor's apartment next door. "Don't forget that we have to go into town this morning and run some errands!" And with that, the person yelling at the door was gone.
"Ya ya whatever. We will get it done when we get it done." The woman said as she got out of the shower and got ready for the day. In the living room was another young woman with long light brown/blonde hair was drinking a cup of coffee and eating a banana.
"Deannette are you ready yet?!" The second young woman yelled down the hallway towards Deannette's room.
"Ya ya. I'm ready. Just let me grab something to eat real quick." Deannette walked out into the kitchen area and grabbed herself a banana as well to eat. "So what errands to we have to get done today anyways? I have somewhere to be round noon." She said as she looked at the other young woman. "Besides Vena don't you have stuff to do as well?"
"Yes. I do. We are going to go pay rent, the water bill, and get some groceries. It shouldn't take too long honestly. Then you are free to do whatever it is you need to do." Vena got up and grabbed her car keys, wallet, and cell phone. "Now let's go and get this over-with."
"About an hour later the two women return to their apartment. Deannette heads to her room to gather everything she needed to have. On her way out she told Vena she was leaving she grabbed her keys and headed off the place she was supposed to be. Th city cemetery. When she got there she grabbed her bag of things and headed to the stone circle in the middle. When she got there there was a hooded figure waiting for her arrival.
"It took you a while to get here young one." The hooded figure said as Deannette knelt in front of 'em.
"I am sorry. It took me a while to be able to get away from my sister." Deannette said. She stood up and looked at the figure. "Are you sure it has to be me that goes Master? I am not your strongest pupil."
"You may not be the strongest, but you are the one destined to go and carry out what needs to be done. When you get there, you must look for a man named Emrys. And when you find him, you must, I repeat, you must help him in any way possible. He cannot be allowed to die and neither can the Once and Future King. I have faith in you my child." The figure said as it put a hand on her shoulder. "Are you ready to depart?"
"I am as ready as I will ever be Master." With that said she got into the middle of the stone circle, the figure stepped out of the circle, said a long and difficult chant. In the next moment there was a flash of blue light and then there was nothing in the middle of the circle but two foot prints from where Deannette once stood.
"Be careful my child, for you will face trials all your brothers and sisters could not even wish upon their enemies."
