A Cross Between Legends
Chapter One (Word Count: 466)
"Merlin! What have you done now?"
"Erm... Arthur..."
"What is it?"
"There are other people in here... staring at us..." They both turned to face the many shocked people who were, indeed, staring at them.
"You there," Arthur barked at the closest one... a few years younger than them, Merlin judged. They were looking at the two with no degree of comprehension – Merlin could tell it was a foreign land, just by looking at their difference in clothing; Arthur was in full body armour, and himself in usual peasant clothes. They, on the other hand, were wearing robes of fine quality. "Where are we?" Nobody answered.
"I don't think they understand us..." Merlin said hesitantly.
"Well then fix it." Arthur raised a furious eyebrow at Merlin's glare. "Well, you can, can't you?"
"Yes, but-"
"So what in God's name are you waiting for?" Merlin, realising his glower was going unnoticed, muttered the words of the spell.
"Excuse me," he addressed them politely. "Could you please tell us where we are?"
"You speak English?" Merlin turned around to face the speaker, and was shocked to see a... ghost?
"I speak the language you speak," Merlin answered, getting over the initial shock. "English, is it? Odd name," he mused. "Anyway, could you please tell us where we are?"
"Gah!" Arthur exclaimed in surprise, jumping backwards as he too turned to see the spectre. "What kind of sorcery is this?"
"Why are you looking at me? How many times do I have to explain, I do not know everything about magic, but I do know how to change you into a toad, so don't make me!" "I could put you in the stocks for that!"
"Not if you were a toad. Now, shut up." Merlin looked around again, but realised he couldn't see much, as the only light in the room was the ghost's ethereal glow. "Awfully dark in here, isn't it?" he asked pleasantly, to no one in particular. Then he noticed the unlit candles. "Mind if I light those?" When nobody answered, he took the liberty to do so. "Forbearne."
Everyone looked back, more amazed than before.
"Is magic outlawed here too then..." he asked, immediately despaired; he had been so sure he felt the familiar hum in the room...
"No..." the ghost slowly corrected, as if the idea was ridiculous. "But you used it without a wand..."
"Wand?" Merlin said curiously. "What's that?"
"Don't worry about that." The ghost recovered, trying the reassert his authority. "Who did you two say you were?"
"We didn't," Merlin supplied helpfully. Arthur glared at him.
"I'm the prince of Camelot, Arthur, and this is my manservant, Merlin."
The spectre looked immensely surprised, before turning to the student that had spoken earlier.
"Harry, will you take these two to Professor McGonagall?"
Lies leave no words unspoken~
A Day to Remember – All I Want
Erm, yeah, if anyone's wondering why Arthur and Merlin aren't staring around at the wonders of modern technology, Hogwarts is kind of old fashioned – candles, the students' uniforms are robes, and Arthur already knows about sorcery, so moving portraits... well 2+2=4, right?
And I know Ollivanders has been making wands since 382 B.C. but this is fan fiction – deal with it xD
Almightybobismygod: First of all, epic name :D And yeah, hope that initiated some enthusiasm xD Still, I'd probably pay attention to anything about Camelot myself xD Hope this update satisfies you, and thanks for the review :3
