Next short chapter
The Doctor lay down on the bed. Then he sat up. The bed was boring, he should look around. He inspected the room, plain walls, nothing to suggest this boy was a wizard.
The Doctor had once known a Timelord called Merlin before, but he was willing to forget about that.
He swung his body down over the side of the bed, so he was looking directly under it. Where he discovered a big brown leather book, with gold clasps.
"Note to self, always look under the bed."
He opened the book and began to read. This was what he was looking for, now he was certain that this was Merlin of legend, a legend until now, he had thought was just a myth.
Now he knew.
Rose and Jack entered the great hall. Where the king sat at the end of a long decorated table.
" I thought you would prefer it if we talk alone, to discuss the alliance between our kingdoms." Arthur said as Rose and Jack sat down on embroided cushions on tall wooden dining chairs. Rose gulped.
" Yeh." Jack answered and got up. " Alone is fine." He raised his eyebrows at Arthur, who looked towards Gwen.
"Excuse us for a moment." Arthur announced and the two on them left.
Rose had taken her place next to Gwen at the other end of the table.
"Hi." She said. "Shall we leave the boys to their talk? This place is so sexist."
"Camelot is my home, and Arthur is as good to me, more than I deserve. I don't see how it is unfair, I was a servant girl, and now I am Queen, things can change." Gwen replied with a quiet confidence. a little confused.
"Oh my God... It is actually you."
"What do you mean?" Gwen asked.
"You're Queen Gwenevire, that's just so cool."
"Yes, I'm Gwen."
" Oh sorry, you don't know yet, your going to be so famous" Rose said quickly and then regretted it, and wondered if she should of said it.
"You do talk in riddles.. Who are you?"
Rose avoided the question.
"What do you think about magic,?" Rose smiled her usual teethy grin, this was amazing, she had to tell the doctor where they were, but he had probably already figured it out.
"Magic is forbidden in the land by order of the King." Gwen replied.
"Ah right..my mistake." Rose looked a little let down, magic would of been so much fun.
