DISCLAIMER I DON'T OWN MERLIN
Gwaine was the first to speak. ''And what pray tell are you doing up at this hour princess? 'He questioned clearly trying to keep to keep himself from laughing. Arthur reddened despite himself. '''I'll have you know Sir Knight that I saw a suspicious shadow and was going to follow it and… '' He stopped when he became aware that they were laughing. Hard. '' You are aware that its night, aren't you?'' Leon asked unsurely. Arthur was about to reply but Eleyon butted in, ''Of course he is! He just wants an excuse to get away from his paper work hmmm?'' The King for the second time reddened. ''Well….'' ''I say we go follow this Shadow. It will be a good laugh!'' Exclaimed Gwaine. Arthur, who now felt very much trapped dejected ran through the village towards the city gates a bunch of giggling knights following him. He made his way past the guards then stopped and was about to say something when he saw a shadow. The shadow.
He drew his sword and heard that the other men had quieted and done the same. Now moving silently and like a well-oiled machine, the Knights of Camelot began to go after this mysterious being.
The man up ahead (Arthur was pretty sure it was a man) wore a dark cloak that hide his face as he slipped expertly in and out of shadows making it hard to track him silently. After what seemed like hours he finally stopped in a huge clearing.
Arthur halted the knights, wondering what the man could possibly be doing. That when the figure threw his head back and began to roar.
