Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Fractured Fate. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own Brave, Disney, Pixar and a few others do.
(DunBroch)
Merida barged through the doors as Hervy swung his poleaxe at her.
"Hervy!" Basil yelled as Hervy knocked her to the ground, he raised his axe, unaware of the 2 people in the room.
"I SAID ENOUGH, DAMN IT!" Basil roared as he drew his sword and stopped the axe before elbowing Hervy to the ground.
He turned to look at the girl who aimed her bow at him and then he noticed a large man with similar hair and a woman with brown hair and a crown.
He realized who the girl was and pinned Hervy against the wall.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! YOU CHASED HER ALL THE WAY HERE AND TRIED TO KILL HER?!" Basil yelled as Hervy blinked.
"SHE SHOT AT US!" Hervy yelled as Basil growled and slammed him into the wall, cracking the stone.
"Maybe it's because they have never seen a knight! You chased her here with a poleaxe and we're walking around with swords and armor, what do you expect them to think!?" Basil asked as he pushed Hervy out of the room and turned to feel the bow at his throat.
Basil held his sword at the girl and hummed.
"Nice reaction time." Basil stated as the girl smirked, Basil looked at the woman and man.
"Ma'am, madam." Basil said with a nod before turning to the girl and lowered his sword at her.
"I'm Basil, Prince of Tashire, Commander of the Royal Army and champion of Tashire… And no, I am not trying to make myself look good." Basil said as the girl rolled her eyes.
"Merida, Princess of DunBroch." Merida said as the 2 people in the back of the room spoke up.
"Why are you here and who was that man with you?" The Woman asked as Basil remembered his manners and bowed.
"I am hunting a traitor that fled to your shores, my Lieutenant: Hervy decided that your daughter was dangerous… And despite me ORDERING HIM TO LEAVE HER ALONE…" Basil stated, muttering the last part at the door and then turned to the woman.
"He chased her here and…. Well you saw my Lieutenant…. I completely understand how you'd think this is an invasion, we are wearing armor and have weapons… But I am here for a traitorous rat who tried to kill my father and fled." Basil said as he looked at Merida.
"You know, I've never met someone who can shoot that well, your better than any archer I've seen… And my best friend is an archer." Basil said as he put his sword onto his back and turned to the King and Queen.
"I will not bother you and your free to have whatever troops you deem fit to watch us, your highness. I would expect nothing less for people like us with our appearance… Good day." Basil said before he opened the door and walked out.
Merida turned to her parents and blinked, she was glad nobody saw the blush on her cheeks and they looked at her before Fergus turned to Elinor.
"Well… That was interesting…" Fergus said as he hid his anger at the fact that his daughter had been attacked, Basil seemed interesting.
"Well… What do we do now?" Merida asked as Merida looked at the doors where Basil went and walked to the door and then walked out.
She went to see where Basil went to, she needed to see where the Knight went, keep an eye and then figure out what to do.
"I think we're see what our little girl is going to do at well." Fergus stated with a chuckle and then sighed and got up to go and look for her daughter.
"Well then, time to check and look to see what our new arrivals would be." Fergus said as he walked out the door to go and find Merida.
(With Basil)
Basil rode off on his horse and turned to look at Merida before he turned and followed Hervy into the forest.
"We will be talking about this when we get back to the camp, Hervy…" Basil stated with a growl and then he turned to look back.
"This is going to be one interesting adventure…" Basil muttered as he motioned for his horse to continue walking.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! Yes, I know its short, I will make next chapter longer. I also want to point out that Merida and Basil will be talking a lot more and will be meeting again next chapter. Next chapter will be on next, next Friday and will show Basil talking with his soldiers and meeting Merida again. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
