Merlin was surprised to see the horses all saddled up as he glared towards Arthur, "hey, that was my job." Arthur laughed at Merlin's glare any other time he would have been wanting the day off, "well if you hadn't noticed you were fast asleep so unless you wanted to sleep walk…" Gawain smirked which ended with Elyan lightly hitting his shoulder. Merlin knew Arthur was right but that still didn't mean that he had to admit it "right we should get going then" he said changing the conversation. With this Arthur replied "I am the king and I decided when we go and when we shall not go, Merlin you need to understand where you are in status."
Merlin grinned goofily "so then there's me, prats, clotpoles, dollopheads and then you," the knights looked confused what was he talking about? Arthur did nothing more than smile "if you want to play like that Merlin go and find some children your age, I'm sure they will have better insults than you." Merlin laughed in reply "I doubt it mine are unique and never get old," Arthur scowled "right we should be leaving, don't want to be there late because of Merlin."
Arthur climbed onto his horse with all the knights and Merlin "right is everyone ready?" Arthur said eyeing Merlin "Why are you looking at me" he said innocently, "because you're never ready and always late!" Merlin smiled "nope you're just early," Arthur huffed "come on…"
Morgana and Mordred arrived at the village, "Arhh we are before Arthur I see" Morgana said slyly. "Why do we need to be before Arthur?" Mordred asked, "Because otherwise this plan to take him wouldn't work, right do you know what to do?" Mordred nodded "wait until Arthur is on his own then take him and if he isn't just knock out the knights with magic." Morgana smiled "you have rembered well but there is something I want to add on, I want to take Merlin as well," Mordred shuddered "Why would you want to take Merlin, I thought that he was our friend." Morgana winced at the sound of Merlin's name "so did I until he poisoned me, stopped my plans to gain Camelot and sent my sister to a slow and painful death."
"I'm sure he had his reasons…" Mordred said more to himself than to Morgana, she smirked "yes that may be but poisoning me is one thing but protecting Arthur and Uther… he is against magic and obviously doesn't want magic in Camelot. I see his as a threat and also I want to see him die as painfully as Morgause did before him." Mordred shook his head "I will help you capture Arthur, but Merlin you will have to get him on your own."
"Fine, we will change our plan slightly even though I don't understand why you would want Merlin dead…" She paused "you can get Arthur and I Merlin, do you think you can stick with this plan?" Mordred sighed before slowly nodding his head, Morgana smiled and replied "good then because we have company." Morgana used her bond to tell Aithusa to attack some commoners; she knew that Arthur and his knights would see this and head straight for the white dragon. She then sent an image in the dragons mind showing him circling around the knights separating them from Merlin and Arthur, everything was ready they could not fail.
