Chapter 1
Merlin entered the room hesitantly.
"You called, Sire?"
"No, one of the many girls pining after you did. Of course I did you bumbling idiot!" grumbled Arthur.
Well, I guess SOMEONE'S in a mood, he thought. Better go see what he wants.
"What is it? You seem in an especially bad mood this morning," said Merlin.
"Well let's see how great YOUR mood is when your father dies and leaves an entire country for you to rule! You can't even begin to imagine the paperwork!" Arthur groaned.
You have no idea. I've had to hide my magic, my dad died, leaving me as the last dragon lord, and on top of all that, I've had to save your sorry butt more times than I can count…
"Sorry, guess I can't really relate since I'm just a servant. Have you tried talking to Titania? She always seems to calm you down. It's like she's got special powers or something," suggested Merlin, with a note of admiration in his voice. He'd always liked her, but it seemed she didn't even know he existed.
"I would, but she went on border patrol with Leon, Percival, Elyon, and Lancelot four days ago. They should have been back by now!"
"Well why don't we go try to find her? It could be an adventure, just like we used to have all the time! We could bring Gwaine with us," suggested Merlin.
"I wish I could, Merlin, I really do, but I have more responsibilities as a king now! I can't just disappear and leave Camelot to fend for itself!" Arthur argued.
"Just do what Uther did when he went on long journeys and leave Gauis and your advisers in charge until you return. Gauis won't let anything get out of hand, you know that," persuaded Merlin.
"Oh alright! Just know, if ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING, happens while we're gone, I'm blaming you!"
"I wouldn't expect anything else. Let's go find Gwaine and then we can talk to Gauis."
