So i'm back :) wow so soon i know, i'm amazed myself hehe anyways on with the next chapter :D
They came charging through the bushes, screaming and yelling. All of the knights had their swords out and ready for battle. Percival and Leon were standing back to back circling killing anyone who neared them. Gwaine was battling with a giant of a man. The giant man knocked Gwaine in the head with the pommel, making Gwaine drop his sword out of his hand, the man was about to go in for the kill but he managed to duck and fall to the ground while an out of breath Elyan stabbed him from behind; the man fell to his knees and then to the floor where he lay unmoving. Elyan stood back pulling out his bloody sword, he and Gwaine both nodded to each other before fighting again.
While all of this was occurring Merlin was crouching behind a tree, trying to keep out of view of the Knights while his eyes lit up gold and tripped the occasional bandits up that got to close to the Knights. Even though there seemed to be over 50 men attacking them they seemed to be winning, however that all changed. If Merlin thought his pains was bad then during the attack the pain seemed to have magnified, he doubled over when dots crossed his vision after he did a spell causing a branch to drop on a bandit that nearly got to Arthur.
It was at this point that everything seemed to go wrong. The temperature seemed to drop all of a sudden. The sun was clouded over and Merlin tried to get back up from his knees but the sheer darkness and power (greater than he had ever felt before) stopped him. During his struggle it seemed someone knew had arrived, it was them that brought this power. Someone had stepped out from the shadows… "Don na dæd" a voice whispered, it was a cold sinister. The spell that he casted took effect immediately, all of the Knights froze.
It was too late. As soon as those words were said everything stopped. The knights could not move they were glued to where they were standing. They could still talk and move their eyes but they were defenceless and vulnerable and at the mercy of these creatures. Arthur watched as this hooded person walked towards him, he could not see a face under the hood but he still felt compelled to watch.
The remaining bandits stood behind the Knights, three to each Knight. The hooded man stopped "astyrian", the Knights were able to move but they didn't get far, the bandits had gotten hold of everyone and knocked them down so they were all kneeling.
The man took of his hood, and it took all of Leon's might to not gasp. He was tall, with light brown hair and dark green eyes. The shocking thin was the left side of his face was covered, from the top of his forehead to the start of his neck with a scar. "the man gave a perverse smile, his scar stretching across his face " Arthur Pendragon and the Knights of the Round Table, ha, this is a real nice turn out", he laughed, a cruel laugh, "Well this will definitely make things all the more interesting ha! Now where is he I know he is here but where?" when one of the bandits replied sheepishly "he was here at first but we haven't seen him since". Scarface (is his name I've decided) stared at the useless men then shouted "I give you one instruction and you can't even manage that" His eyes glowed gold and the bandit went flying into the tree.
Arthur and the rest of the Knights watched this with utter confusion, this man had the King of Camelot and his most loyal Knights at his mercy, at yet he had barely glimpsed at him since that first mention. Who were they really looking for? Wait. Arthur looked around as much as he could, Gwaine, Percival, Lancelot, Elyan and Leon was there, where was Merlin. Arthur breath caught in his throat, his becoming dry, they were looking for Merlin. Why were they looking for him? Where was Merlin…?
Merlin stayed well hidden behind the tree while the bandits forced all the knights to the ground, he bit his lip forcing himself to remain silent as the pain pounded inside of him. When it lessened he turned round and saw the face of the hooded man but didn't have time to think about his description as he heard the next thing he said "where is he I know he is here but where?" Merlin froze was that man talking about him, could he know, but how could he? Merlin had enough of hiding so he took a deep breath a stepped forward into the clearing…
