Merlin woke up groggily and late, lucky him though as Prince Arthur had gave him a week of as he was going to be with his father King Uther so Merlin wasn't needed. Just then Gaius came into his room,
"Come on, the King wants us to attend a court in half an hour." Merlin nodded before going to get dressed. He smiled as he heard Gaius call, "Happy 18th Merlin". The Birthday boy laughed before leaving his room and having breakfast. "I've been here for 6 years now." He told his mentor who smiled,
"That's true, when do you think you'll go back home?" Merlin frowned, "I don't know, I hope my parents are safe, I miss them so much." Tears crept down Merlin's face, Gaius went straight to him to comfort his ward, "I know my prince I know, maybe you'll get a sign or something soon."
Merlin smiled, "Maybe Gaius just maybe."
In The Court Meeting
Merlin watched as Uther summoned eight men into the room, eight men he knew. They were, Carlos, Martin, William ,Derek, Alan, Ash, Tich and Ginno. They were his most loyal Knights. He moved so they wouldn't see him straight away as he wanted to hear what news his friends would give about Mercia.
The eight knights bowed to Uther and once they rose Ash spoke, "King Uther, Prince Arthur, we are eight knights of Mercia. I know you have some issues with those who practise magic but Mercia has never brought any trouble to Camelot." Until nowMerlin thought.
Arthur quickly asked, "Then why are you coming to Camelot?" It was Ginno who answered, "Many years ago a man had an army and he tried to over throw our King and Queen from their thrones which ended with our Prince fleeing for his life. Lucky the eight of us and other Knights drove the enemy from Mercia but we know he's going to try again and we need to find our Prince as he is the only one who can stop him. We need your help my lords to find our Prince and save our Kingdom."
Uther nodded, "I want to more about how this all started, please tell me your story."
Carlos nodded then began the story.
