Song Lyrics:
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women they came and they went
Barefoot servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wing began to howl
Arthur stands in the high tower looking down at the town. They haven't had any trouble lately which is making him happy on one hand but also nervous because he could feel something coming. The town is bustling, women carrying baskets and men carrying tools, when he sees Merlin run through the courtyard. For some inexplicable reason his manservant is missing his shoes and Arthur can't wait to hear his ridiculous excuse as to why. Arthur is deep in thought until he hears a strange sound coming from the forest. He doesn't recognize what animal it is. Before he can figure it out the sound of hooves on cobblestone is audible. Looking down Arthur sees two knights coming back from the look out. They look alarmed and Arthur's hand instinctively moves to his sword. The wind begins to howl. As it does Merlin freezes in the middle of the courtyard and catches sight of Arthur. They lock eyes. Arthur can feel the danger but somehow the fact that Merlin's face has lost all of its color, he knows this is not a danger they have faced before.
