AN: Here it is guys, the very first chapter of my very first story. I hope you will come to enjoy this story as it progresses. It doesn't have a title yet, so If you have an Idea, please let me know.
By the way, I do not own Merlin or any of the characters, though I wish I did ...
It was a day like any other. Arthur had spent his morning doing god knows what after giving Merlin a massive list of things to do and now the pair of them were on the training ground with the other knights practicing swordfighting. That is to say, Arthur was yelling commands, the knights practiced and Merlin stood aside watching it all.
"Left, right, right, up, left, down!" yelled Arthur across the field. The knights followed his instructions in unison. Each hitting it's target without fail. "Good, now find a partner and repaet the exercises we did yesterday." Arthur said, "Merlin, get over here."
"Yes, Sire?" Merlin said while he ran towards his master.
"Take my sword and shield back to the weapenry and fetch me my crossbow, will you?" He said it like a question, but Merlin knew it was an order and this time it wouldn't be a good Idea to come with a snarky response so in stead he said: "Of course, my lord." And did as he was told.
Over the years Merlin had learned to interpetate Arthurs words without fail. He knew when to joke around and when to do as he was told. Today was no day for jokes. Arthur had been on his nerves ever since his father and Gaius had left Camelot this morning.
The king had received an invitation to king Cendred's court, with the request tob ring his most trusted counsel member. Arthur didn't trust it one bit and neither did Merlin .
"Your crossbow, Sire." Merlin said slightly out of breath from the long run.
"Well, Merlin, getting tired are we?"
"Not at all, Sire." Merlin breathed. "Is there anything else I might do for you?"
"No, That will be all for today. I'll see you tomorow." Arthur said, waving his hand to the castle. "Oh, And Merlin," he called after his manservant.
"yes, My lord?"
"Please remember to bring the breakfast with you in the morning."
"Yes, my lord." Merlin nodded and headed towards the castle. However, before he could reach the steps all of a sudden the world went black.
That's it for now, folks. Remember to leave a comment, I welcome them very much, even if you didn't like the story. If you've got an idea for the title, please leave it there as well.
