Merlin and the Pixie
Arthur sighed deeply, and smiled to himself as he wandered down one of the castle corridors. He paused for a moment at one of the windows, and gazed out. At that moment, he didn't want to be anywhere else in the world. Life was good. The sun was shining high up in the sky, Arthur had the whole day to train, and Merlin was chasing a pixie.
Wait, what?
Arthur blinked several times, and gazed down at the grass below. No, he had not been mistaken. Merlin really was down on the grass, chasing a pixie.
"What?" Arthur shook his head slowly "Merlin what are you doing?" He called out to the dark haired boy below. Merlin, on hearing his voice, looked up and stopped.
"Umm, I've had a slight problem. You don't suppose you could come and, well, um, help me?"
Arthur rolled his eyes. "Fine, I'll be down in a mome…Look out!" Arthur watched with disbelieving eyes as Merlin turned round to see the pixie, running at his at full speed, baring its teeth.
"Christ!" Arthur turned, and ran down the corridor as fast as he could, before Merlin was torn to pieces.
After Arthur had detached the pixie from Merlin's arm, receiving many bites and scratches in the process, and had eventually pushed it into the nearest thing to hand (a largish leather pouch that Merlin had had on his belt) he finally got the chance to ask Merlin why he had been chasing the pixie in the first place.
"Well, Umm" he started, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. "You see, Gaius has been researching a new type of flower, uh, this type of pink flower, and so he sent me to get it this morning from the forest. I was just returning from the forest after getting what he wanted, when, out of the blue, he turns up and steals the flower right out of my hand! So I started to chase him, but… Well he's just so fast. You wouldn't believe how fast he is!"
"Oh, don't worry, I do."
"You do?"
"Yes. He's just escaped from the bag"
"Oh, he's just escaped from the bag. He's just escaped from the bag!" Merlin gasped and turned to see where Arthur was pointing. "Oh, damn" And with that, he began to chase the pixie again, whilst cursing under his breath.
OK, This was just a random story that just came to me, but I don't know whether to continue it or not? What do you think?
