This is the start of a story created on th spot by an annoying plot that tickled my brain
"Well hello Uther, long time no see" the king reined his horse round, coming face to face with his second least favourite person in the world, Tauren.
"What are you doing in Camelot land" Uther was furious, after all this a sorcerer could still escape the notice of guards and reach the Royal Hunting Forest. Thank God Arthur and he had got separated.
"Ay hyne sar hafao uytr bedrago" The sorcerer screamed his spell and Uther collapsed off his horse.
Thundering hooves rang out and the deer bolted wildly. Arthur cursed and turned ready to punish the offender that spoilt his hunting. His father's horse stood there, flanks white with sweat, reins halfway down it neck, stirrups swinging madly.
"Father" the prince called, there was no response "FATHER" his call rang through the forest but still nothing. Finally Arthur realised the only sensible course of action, scooping up the loose reins and whistling his own horse. Finally mounted he spoke to the tired horse "lead on Cavallo, find my father"
Uther stirred to find himself alone on the ground, bereft of crown cloak and all regalia. Strangely the forest he knew so well had changed; it was grey and the smells were much stronger. Hooves clattered in the distance and he sighed inwardly as Arthur appeared riding one horse and leading another.
Arthur stared at the sight in front of him, the clearing was a wreck, fallen branches everywhere. And right in the middle...was a black and tan dog.
"Hello boy" the dog stared at him from its position lying on the ground, the prince made a snap decision "lets get you home to Camelot, father knows how to survive in the woods for a night". Unbuckling one of Cavallo's reins he fed the loose end through the buckle and slipped the loop over the dog's head. Remounting he tied the remaining rein to his saddle bow and pulled on his makeshift restraint "Come". The dog obeyed and capered along at his side as he made his way to Camelot.
Anyone guessed what the spell did yet?
It's a slightly corrupted version of one that is briefly seen written in The Book during Valient.
Please don't expect regular updates as I'm also working on another Merlin fanfic and mustn't get them muddled
