Shadic's Adventure in Camelot
By Fangs of Lightning and The Chuckinator
Chapter 1: The Coronation
A week ago, Sonic had been revealed as King Arthur after saving all of Camelot from Merlina's magic. It had taken him by surprise, to say the least. The entire castle had immediately began preparing for his crowning. Now, the day had arrived. Sonic was walking up to the throne, awaiting his coronation. Lancelot, his best knight, was doing the honors.
"Sir Sonic, you have been chosen to become the next King of Camelot. What will you do as King?"
"Protect the people and keep the kingdom alive for as long as possible."
Lancelot nodded. "How will you treat your subjects?"
"With kindness."
The other knight nodded. He knighted Sonic, and put the crown upon his head. "Rise, King Sonic, and take the throne."
Sonic stood and looked at everyone assembled in the room. Giving them a smile, he sat in the throne.
The knights bowed, and cheered: "Long live King Sonic!"
The new king smiled and then began to speak to his new subjects. "I swear I will do everything in my power to protect you from harm. I'm glad to be your king."
They nodded and stood.
"What is your first order of business?" Percival asked.
Sonic thought about it. He had to deal with Merlina. She had almost destroyed the kingdom, and there had to be a trial. "We should have a trial for Merlina," he said. The knights nodded and ran off. A few minutes later, Merlina came before them. She looked up at the new king, who stood up, glaring at her angrily. "Merlina, you nearly destroyed our kingdom."
Merlina looked up at him and nodded. "Yes, that is true."
"Your actions cannot be forgiven," Lancelot said. "We must decide your fate."
The sorceress looked worried but nodded. Sonic had a stern look on his face and sighed, wondering what sort of punishment she needed. Usually, it wasn't in his nature to think this way of people. Not to mention, he had no idea how people were punished in this kingdom. He looked to his knights.
"What do you think she deserves?" Sonic asked.
Lancelot stood. "She could be killed, or banished...but what is to say she won't try again?"
"Usually, I don't give much thought to killing people. But if there's nothing else we can do..." He looked at the other knights, who seemed to be in agreement with Lancelot.
Merlina looked at Sonic in horror and bowed her head, awaiting her punishment. Sonic sighed and drew Excalibur, walking up to Merlina. Sonic looked down at Excalibur, then back at his knights. They nodded, awaiting the execution. The king raised his sword, bringing it down on Merlina's head. It decapitated her instantly. Sonic's eyes widened as he realized what he had done but knew it was for the best. Lancelot and the other knights dragged the body away. Sonic moved back and fell into the throne. Placing Excalibur across his lap, he looked down at his hands. He sighed, looking up at the others, ordering them to clean this up. They hurried to do so as he watched. Sitting in the throne quickly got boring.
After the knights came back, they bowed once again. "What is your next order of business, sire?" Lancelot asked.
Sonic tapped his foot on the floor, unsure of what to do next.
"What's the situation of the kingdom?" Sonic asked. He wasn't sure just how much damage Merlina had dealt.
"It is in bad shape," Percival spoke up. "The kingdom needs repairing."
Sonic nodded, and looked at his other knights. Finally, he set his sights on Gawain, who bowed and spoke.
"We could get on that now, if Your Majesty desires," Gawain said.
The King nodded. The knights bowed once again and hurried from the room to do their king's bidding. Sonic sighed, thinking about everything that happened. He was happy that he was a king, but wished that his son, Shadic, was here.
