Disclaimer: Don't own Merlin!
Chapter 1
It was a day like any other in Camelot. Merlin, Prince Arthur's clumsy manservant, had once again arrived late to wake his master, who had therefore arrived late at his training session with the other knights. This led to the usual exchange of insults and banter on their way to the training fields.
"Can't you be on time once, you incompetent oaf," shouted the enraged blonde.
"Yes, I could be, if you'd actually let me go to bed at an appropriate hour, like before midnight," countered his insolent servant.
"Oh don't be ridiculous Merlin. You're not a baby anymore."
"Well, at least I'm not a clotpole."
"No, you're just an idiot with a mental affliction."
"Prat."
"Imbecile."
...
The day continued much in the same way until the feast in the evening, where everything changed…
Well, not everything. A sorcerer's attack during diner wasn't so unusual - what made this one special, was that there was not only one sorcerer hell-bent on killing the king, but fifteen. And they didn't try to kill Uther, no. Their target was Arthur and Arthur only.
What first alerted the gathering was the sudden, unnatural wind that picked up in the middle of the dining hall. Uther, of course, seeing that magic was used, immediately jumped out of his chair and bellowed for the guards, who couldn't really do anything, but watch with the rest as the sorcerers appeared out of thin air.
Standing in a closed circle with their backs to each other the recently arrived sorcerers, who were all dressed in black robes with a white tree stitched in the center, surveyed the room in silence for a moment, before one of them seemed to spot Arthur. Pointing at the prince he shouted "Kill him!" Whereupon all raised their hands and released several bolts of fire in the prince's direction.
Merlin, who was standing behind Arthur, quickly readied himself to do what was necessary to protect his future king, and was only slightly panicking by the thought of having to use magic in front of the king, but before he could actually do something another magical wind picked up between the bolts and Arthur, which consequently nullified the attack with the absorbing qualities of the vortex.
Frowning a little Merlin had to say it was a little disappointing that he couldn't secretly boast about having saved the crown prince this time, but for now what he was more interested in was who had done the saving?He watched closely as the saviors slowly manifested out of the whirlwind into two distinguishable figures…
…And received the shock of his life as he himself appeared out of thin air, accompanied by a knight of Camelot.
Review pls and tell me if you want more =D
