Shield and Sword

by Hiza Montmorency

Being a tale of love, hate, fights, friendship, honor, guilt, joy, and family. Told in stacked drabble format.

1. Part One: Fall

I don't own Merlin.

/

Hark! The Death-denouncing trumpet sounds

The fatal charge, and shouts proclaim the onset;

Destruction rushes dreadful to the field

And bathes itself in blood; Havoc let loose

Now undistinguished rages all around.

While Ruin, seated on her dreary throne,

Sees the plain strewed with subjects truly hers,

Breathless and cold.

It is fall- full of leaves, cold, bright color, and tournaments. Challenges are flung through the air like lightning from the heavens, and are met in a clash of lances or swords.

A gauntlet has been throw- to the king.

King Arthur, who fetches his shield and his sword.

This is a story in what I lovingly refer to as stacked drabble form. (Part one is 100 words each, part two is 200 words, etc.) You can choose to see the slash, or not to see it. All up to you. Reviews are love.
