Season 2 episode 9-10 fox of Camelot.

What if after lady of the lake there was another hunter that brought in a special something for prince Arthur?

Gaius and merlin just came back from another sick person, the rain outside wasn't helping merlin's mood either he was tired and now wet. Walking they saw a cage on a cart in front of the new inn, the golden dragon.

He looks up as a golden furred fox tills his head. Merlin's eyes widen. That fox was huge! Must be a magical creature. And it was as golden blond as Arthur's hair. The foxes blue eyes also made him think of the crown prince of Camelot.

The fox looks at merlin with wise eyes and then turn to the old physician with a sad look on it's snout.

The fox paws at the young warlock getting a small smile from him.

Merlin looks at Gaius. The old physician was looking wide eyed at the fox. "great elders of what not. Merlin we have to notify the king of this fox"

Merlin nods "you go ahead, well tell him tomorrow, I'll stay here"

Gaius nods and quickly walks toward home.

"you're a beautiful creature you know?"

The fox looks at the young warlock with a foxy smile…. Wait smile?

"hey, you're a warlock right? I can smell the magic"

Merlin looks shocked at the fox. "w-hat h-how did you know? How can you talk?"

The fox snickers "I'm a magical fox yah dummy, my name is Naruto, it's an eastern name, means maelstrom"

Merlin smiles "well I'm merlin…. But don't say I'm a warlock or can use magic…. The king executes every human with magical powers."

Naruto looks saddened at the boy "well, I came to for fill my destiny here, but it seems it'll be harder then I thought"

Merlin smiles "I'm here for my destiny too"

Naruto looks up shocked "say merlin, are you by any chance the servant of Arthur pendragon?"

Merlin nods. Naruto smiles "oke, I'll see you tomorrow then, pff stupid human thinks he has me caught" "unspanne tha foxe" the fox's eyes flash red and the shackles around it's hind legs fall off.

Merlin looks wide eyed at the fox "you can use magic as well?"

Naruto smiles "sure, and I see you want to ask why. well you'll have to wait till tomorrow"

Merlin nods and bows goodbye to the fox "very well till tomorrow then"

"goodnight Emrys"

Merlin looks back at the fox with wide eyes, the druid boy as well as the great dragon called him by this name, and now the fox did too.

The next day came and merlin ran from here to there trying to please Arthur. when one of the knights came by asking for their presence in the throne room.

"father what is so urged, this morning?" Uther looks at his son with a smile on his face "well Arthur I found a perfect present for you. Bring it in!" 2 guards open the door while another guard struggles to pull a Shetland sized fox inside. Merlin blinks so that was what Naruto mend. Uther looks at Arthur seeing his son's shocked face. At that moment the guard pulling the fox falls down and the fox growls as the sharp end of the guards glove cuts into his paw. The fox jumps over the guard and lands right in frond of the king.

"greetings my lord" Uther looks at the bounty hunter that walked in after the fox got loose

"my lord this is Naruto, a fox creature from the eastern lands, I caught him specially for prince Arthur, to protect the heir of Camelot"

Silence, no sound escaped any of the people present.

Uther looks at Naruto with wary eyes. "and how do I know that it is trust worthy?"

The fox laughs, a slightly growling, barking laugh mind you "my lord would any warlock or druid be able to create such a beautiful beast?" the fox looks at the hunter with a feral look and the tail splits into nine. The knights of Camelot draw their swords but the fox just lies down. The hunter asks for a reward while merlin slowly walks toward the fox.

Uther looks troubled at his son and sees his son's servant looking at the fox with awe, the peasant boy was very easy to awe, although he could see why this would awe him. The fox was magnificent, it's golden fur looking like the sun and the beasts eyes were like huge sapphires.

"alright I did ask for a present after all, so Arthur how do you like your new pet?"

Arthur looks at his father with wide eyes. "pet?, father that's not just a pet"

The fox snickers before his tail becomes one again, reaching Arthur's waist. The golden furred animal slowly walks toward Arthur, reaching Arthur's waist. circling him before nodding and jumps up, resting it's paws on Arthur's shoulders to keep him standing and starts licking his face. Merlin lightly chuckles as Arthur tries to get Naruto off. "MERLIN! Get him off off me!" merlin nods and strokes the foxes' neck. The blond canine looks at merlin and jumps on him making the poor young man fall over. The fox weighting as much if not more then the young warlock himself.

Now it's Arthur's turn to laugh "serves you right merlin. Now bring this fox to my chambers" merlin nods and follows Arthur with the fox.

So how was it? I hope this'll be a nice new story. and I know it's just 3 pages long but it's an intro for what's going to come. Next chapter is where Arthur will learn of Naruto being able to talk. And Naruto will meet the great dragon when following merlin, because Arthur does care for his servant.

Till next time

Episode 10 sweet dreams.
