Happy Fourth of July to everyone! Summer school is finally over with for me and I'm very happy about that. I was able to watch an old Scooby Doo Where Are You episode today. Scooby, Scrappy, and Shaggy were both turned into donkeys and I couldn't help but think of Arthur. I hope you all enjoy this :D
Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin.
Amazingly enough, Merlin had managed to get Arthur up and ready on time that morning. They had managed to arrive at the practice fields early for once. Merlin was standing next to Arthur, watching as the knights slowly began to arrive for the day's training session.
To Merlin's surprise, Percival was the last of the knights to arrive. He watched as the knight slowly walked towards the group, his hand gripping a leash that was attached to some sort of creature.
As Percival approached, Merlin could not help but stare at the creature walking slowly next to the big man. For a moment, Merlin thought that he was imaging things. The creature looked all too familiar to Merlin. He swallowed nervously. How did Percival get his hands on that thing?
"It's about time, Percival. We thought you weren't going to show up!" Arthur called out in greeting.
Percival shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry. I was debating whether or not I should bring Gregory with me today." He pointed to the animal by his side.
The knights all crowded around their large companion, eager to see what sort of animal Gregory was. Merlin, however, chose to stay where he was. He was debating what he should do. If he stayed, there was a chance that the animal would recognize him, and that could lead to some awkward questions from everyone.
Finally coming to a decision, Merlin bolted towards the castle, intent on finding Gaius. He would know what he should do.
This is pretty short, but I wanted to do a small introduction. If you all are interested, I would like to do a small story explaining how Gregory came to be. Let me know what you think!
