Arthur, Merlin and the knights were on a hunting trip through the forest. It had been unsuccessful so far as it is nearing winter, and Arthur was becoming agitated, snapping at Merlin when he had suggested to go back to Camelot when they heard fighting in the near distance. There was a shuffle of feel as they all hopped off their horses and crept towards the noise.
The group laid silently on the edge of a large ditch with a bandit camp site in the middle. There were around twenty or so men, rugged and large, Golding multiple weapons in their hands. They all stood in a large circle surrounding what appeared to be a young lady, no older than Merlin. She had messy hair and a baggy, ripped shirt and a pair of ill-fitting pants, ripped also. Mud covered most if her body and what the men that laid there watching had hoped wasn't blood. She stood in a strong stance, knees bent, with a sword in her right hand. Her breathing was unstable.
One of the men, obviously the leader, began to speak;
'Now, now Violet, don't want to hurt yourself' a smile played on his lips. 'Don't want another scar on that beautiful body of yours' the men laughed with the leader. The men watching from their positioned felt sick. They were of respect and equality and had values, this is a disgusting way to treat women.
'Why, want one to match' the girl had spat at him. The voice sounded familiar to Merlin. In fact, nearly everything about the girl did. Someone popped into his he'd but thought it was stupid. He quickly brushed off the thought.
'That sounds like a challenge' the leader said and only seconds after did three men from different parts of the circle came forward, swords ready to strike her where she stood.
The knights and Arthur readied themselves to attack when the girl lifted the sword up and hit the mans sword to her right, causing it to fall from his grip before quickly striking him and turning to the other behind her and switching to her left. She turned and quickly disposed of the three men, their bodies laying limb on the ground as the soil soaked their blood.
Merlin, Arthur and the knights were shocked, just as the bandits who watched before another four came forward as she swung around, dodging and ducking as she killed them swiftly, she stood there for a moment, breathing ragged as more came. Her skill impressed the men watching, shocked by how easy she made it seem. Before long all that was left was the girl surrounded by men's bodies and the leader standing shocked as he watched this girl destroy his small army.
The girl calmed her self as she relaxed and walked to the leader. He went to pull his sword out but he was pushed against a tree with Violets sword resting on his neck. There was more crunching of leaves as two large dogs, almost wolves, came from the cover of bushes and trees, their teeth showing and growling echoing in the still forest.
'The wolves behind me,' she explained sternly, 'do you wonder if they will think twice about killing you?'
The man shook his head.
'Then I suggest to get out of my sight before I make up my mind whether or not I should kill you' and with that she dropped her sword and backed away as the man quickly scrambled away.
The girl, Violet, looked down and sighed before turning to face the wolves and walking towards the tent, patting them both on the head. She went inside and the men herd a scramble before she came out again with a packed bag.
She addressed the dogs. 'Take what you need for winter' and they began to grab as many bodies as they could before dragging them off and disappearing.
This time she spoke it surprised the men.
'I suggest you stop laying there, your clothes will get damp' she looked up towards the men. Eyes locking on with Merlin's. That's when he saw what color they were, and he realized who she was. He jumped up and ran towards her, Arthur and the knights tried to stop him, afraid she will attack again but Merlin almost yelled 'Viola!' As he smiled and she dropped everything and ran towards him as they hugged and laughed. The knights and Arthur followed. Confused as to how they new each other.
They reached the reunion and stood awkwardly as Merlin walked over to introduce the girl to them.
'Guys, this is my sister, Violet' he said smiling. Shocking almost everyone there.
