"Hmm" said Merlin looking at the king of Camelot "I think that you should wear this one, wait no this one!" Arthur looked at his manservant and raised his eyebrows "you really aren't much help Merlin." "Well I haven't really had to choose what to wear before" Merlin replied simply "I usually just wear... well this" he said pointing at his clothes. Arthur laughed and carefully put his clothes on, not wanting to crease them. Merlin sighed and walked towards the window, the witch Morgana would out there somewhere, and would want revenge on a great warlock named Emrys. Merlin could remember calling the dragon and killing all her men, including her best man Agravaine (Arthur's uncle). Merlin shivered as he remembered when he found out he had magic...
He jumped suddenly as Arthur threw his clothes from behind the screen. Merlin sighed, "are you ready yet, sire?" As if to answer his question Arthur came strutting out from behind the screen, "how do I look?" He asked. Merlin tried to stop himself from l laughing when he said "in all honesty Arthur, you look like a peacock!" Arthur ignored him and said "tell the knights that I am on my way," Merlin gave him a questioning look "why where will you be?" Arthur was getting used to Merlin constantly talking back to him, what would his father have done if a servant questioned him? Probably put him in the stocks Arthur thought. "I am the king Merlin you shouldn't question what I say" Merlin smirked and then bowed down "ok, your majesty" and with that he left to go and inform Gawain, Percival, Leon and Elyan that Arthur would be there soon.
As Merlin approached the doors he could see Gawain was standing there with his arms folded. "What's the king's excuse for being late this time?" Merlin shrugged but as Arthur was walking down the marble steps he replied "only escorting my beautiful wife to the round table." Merlin and Gawain moved out of the way as Arthur held the door "Guinevere" Gwen looked at Arthur and replied politely "thank you Arthur." He was just about to let go of the door when Gawain said "aw aren't you going to hold to door for us as well?" Arthur sighed as he held the door open for Gawain and Merlin "thank you, your highness" Gawain did a funny curtsey Merlin roared with laughter as he did the same. Arthur shook his head what 'will I do with these to?' He thought.
Merlin went to stand beside Arthur who was sitting down with the rest of the knights, Gaius and Gwen. "Merlin would you be so kind as put some water in my glass" Merlin knew this wasn't a question but he nodded anyway and filled up his glass. Arthur took a sip then he began talking "so what new news do we have" he asked the knights. Percival was the one who spoke "sire, we have been informed that there has been a white dragon terrorising the people on the outskirts of Camelot-" at this Merlin dropped the jug he was holding, everyone turned to look at him "err sorry, carry on" Merlin stammered as he started to clear up the mess. Percival continued "we have reason to believe that the dragon is in league with Morgana."
Merlin felt a sudden jolt in his stomach Aithusa had joined Morgana even after all he had done for the dragon. The sound of Arthur's voice brought him back to reality, "white dragon you say, how is that possible my father killed all them violent creatures when he was king. How could have Morgana possibly have got a dragon from?"Everyone knew this wasn't really a question to be answered but Elyan decided to do so anyway, "she is a sorceress sire who knows what she's capable of." Arthur took this into account but he still didn't think there was any way not even by sorcery to bring a dragon back to life or make one come into existence, if this could be done people would have used it before surely.
"Well if we don't know how this white dragon came we shouldn't worry about it, the thing we should worry about know is killing it so it won't be able to harm or scare any of my people." "What about Morgana?" said Gwen "if the dragon is working with her wouldn't she be there with it, looking after it even?" Arthur looked Gwen in the eye and said "we have to destroy this dragon otherwise there is a chance that it might destroy Camelot, Morgana being there is just a risk I am going to have to take." Gaius was the one that spoke this time, "Arthur are you sure this is wise? This may be a trap set up by Morgana."
Arthur thought for a moment this was true although he was sure that he would be fine with his best knight's at his side, "Gaius I am sure I will be fine, I have faith in my knights." At this he looked at everyone sat down at the round table (including Merlin who had to stand up) "who would like to join me one this mission?" one by one each knight raised their hands, Arthur smiled and turned to look at Merlin "Merlin?" "Well you know me Arthur I may just tag along you know, watching your back." With this Arthur smiled "ok then, we set of tomorrow morning, with that everyone started to leave.
