Prologue: The Arrival (Word count: 182)
"Presenting his lord, Emrys, Ambassador of Druids."
The herald, after announcing the arrival, moved sideways, head bowed in obvious respect.
A young, pale-faced, black-haired man atop a horse rode through the newly vacated path. He sat gracefully, dressed in the regalia of his people that indicated both his status and the importance of occasion.
When he arrived at the castle steps he easily slipped from his horse and bowed at the company that awaited him.
"My lord," he began, speaking with political politeness. "It is a pleasure to meet you." He straightened. "May the sun shine upon your fields."
"And may the rain quench your crops." Uther Pendragon smiled, returning the Druidic greeting; he had been reading up. He returned Emrys' smile.
"May I introduce you to my wife, Ygraine," Uther said, bringing her forward. "And my son, the prince Arthur." He came forward of his own accord.
"My Lady," Emrys greeted, sweeping a kiss onto her hand; he too had studied their ways. "Prince Arthur," He nodded. "I hope we can become good friends in my time here." As was expected.
LOL, new AU... I've had ideas for about fifteen, but this is one of the few I've gotten round to... Another one to be released will be a Harry Potter/Merlin crossover – I began writing it, then realised just how little I remember about Harry Potter, so I got out the first book (even though I have another ten - literally - to read) and will read it before writing.
As for The Fall of a Queen... writer's block Dx I'm going to write this in the meantime, as I never have writer's block with a new story xD Wonder how long that will last xD
So, yeah, Uther, Ygraine, Arthur - all alive... Sorcerers not killed, Dragon not captured, Hunith and Balinor (also alive) back in Avalon, land of the Druids (not the Sidhe, pesky things. They're like rats with wings... and conscious thought... Point is, they don't exist XP)
Perhaps short chapters... Review, and you'll find out ;D
