Hi thanks for the idea at Tagrea


Alan sneaked out of his mum's house he couldn't stay there anymore. She shouldn't have to look after him, he wasn't her kid, wasn't Tom's brother. He would say good bye but he hated good byes.

After 5 days of walking Alan began to see the white walls of Camelot through a gap in the trees. Soon he was at the edge of the forest and that's when he heard it, swords clashing, people yelling and horses neighing and it sounded quite close. After a quick ten minute decision he ran to the left and quickly came upon a fight. Knights wearing chain mail and red capes were fighting men wearing dark colour and had rags covering their faces. He didn't know who to help when he saw one of the knights get struck down and felt an urge to help him. He raced across the battle and drove sword into the bandit just as he had raised it above the knight ready to plunge it in.

"Sire!" All the rest of the knight cried as they rushed towards them and two of the knights grabbed him Alan and forced him to his knees.

"Let him up he saved my life," Alan felt the hands around him loosen and he stood up shakily. He wasn't use to this kind of royalty; he was use to people like King John. "What's your name?"

"Alan A Dale…, Sire," He added the sire as an after-thought and was surprised to see the boy who was obviously his majesties servant snigger.

"Well I think you should be rewarded. Kneel down." He ordered and Alan knelt unsure of where this was going. "I, Arthur Pendragon, Prince of Camelot, knight you Alan A Dale knight of Camelot."

To say Alan was shocked would be a massive understatement; in fact it would be the understatement of the millennium because he was astonished. He Alan A dale lowly peasant boy, outlaw was a knight.

"My servant, Merlin, will take you to your new chambers." Alan looked at the boy as he stepped towards him and felt he knew him from somewhere. Then he realised the boy's name was Merlin this boy was his brother. I mean how may people are called Merlin he thought.
