Arthur Pendragon and Merlin are running hysterically through the Alsteir Forest while being chased by the witches soldiers, "Merlin come on, keep up! Over there Merlin, I see a bridge." yells Arthur behind him stopping with his back against a tree.
Merlin stops to turn and look back seeing the Sorceress herself looking at him with her army of conjured warriors at her side and surrounding her, "Emrys it's my destiny to kill Arthur!" said the Sorceress echoing through the woods with at wind and a wave of her hand the brutes charged, defensively Merlin throws his hand up and his eyes glow for a movement and a title wave of mystical typhoon swirled straight lifting the leaves up in a dead assault slicing the warriors up into an explosion.
Arthur snatched Merlin from the front of his shirt joining him with him behind the tree as part exploded passed, dissolving to slowly in the air and on the ground back into autumn leaves. When Arthur had pulled Merlin behind the tree he yanked him against him face to face arms wrapped around him protectively, after ducking his head into Arthur's chest from the explosion Merlin lifted his head to look into the Prince's eyes, and for a moment he swear he saw something before the Sorceress screamed, "ERMYSSSSSSSSSSSS!" Lightning shot across the clear sky.
Arthur snapped out of it pushing Merlin off, "Come we should hurry and lose her." said Arthur running off toward the bridge far off in the distance, soon arriving they came across an army of six bridge Trolls, "Let us pass, we are in urgency to pass out of the Kingdom." said Arthur pointing to his family crest of Camelot.
"Look boys, looks like we got ourselves a royal we should roll out the red carpet." said The leader troll sarcastically, getting Arthur to feel like he was getting the royal treatment he looks to Merlin with a smug smile on his face. But Merlin just shook his head at the brat unamused at his attempt, as the Troll stomped forward glare the Prince in the face, "I heard that you are wanted for the murder of your father, and that royal crest on your chest means nothing more than betrayal for you now. So tell me Prince ,what should stop us from eating you and ravaging your little gorgeous friend here?" Taunted the Troll.
"Well bubbling baphoon I did not murder my father that actuation is completely false and if you want I slay your arse here and now." Said Arthur bluntly pulling out his sword the royal sword of the Camelot knights. Troll had no quarrel with the Prince, he immediately backed away but peered at the boy in the midst behind him and they had second thoughts nodding to his fellow Trolls. The Leader was stepped aside, letting Arthur pass he left towards the Enchanted forest, "Merlin see I got us out of that and there was nothing to worry about now, we should be ….Merlin?" Arthur turned around to find the little bugger had vanished, squinting his eyes he knew who had taken him.
Merlin was tied and slug over the shoulders of the tallest troll, with his wrist bound from behind, legs bound and mouth gagged they carried him away in the opposite direction of the Prince, "Circe will be please with us we found her little bastard, I mean we could always deflower the little brat it isn't as if you would care if he was virgin-less locked back up in that tower." said the More muscular looking Troll. And at those words Merlin began to fuss even more wiggling and struggling to break free, wishing that Arthur wasn't to big headed that he notice that Merlin wasn't behind him and rescue him.
Arthur began to gallop back toward the Troll bridge but Merlin and the Trolls were gone,leaning down to the dirt, Arthur saw their big stone like foot prints and left off in a sprint and in know time Arthur saw the Trolls in a empty creek walking towards a cave due east, full of rage at the panic on Merlin's face Arthur was off like and eagle he jumped down landing on shoulders of the smallest Trolls plunging the beast face first into the mud, taking out is blade in a spin to evade a pounding fist from a coming Troll. The Troll pounded his fellow comrade into a muddy death and met Arthur's blade for his own, two more Trolls stamped their way to launch two fist at him in unison, tumbling out of the Arthur cut the back of the beast ankles kicking them both forward into the mud, turn to the leader who took of in a dash toward the tunnel Arthur twirled his sword in one hand for a second before throwing into in a spiral straight through the back of the Troll causing him to drop Merlin in the mud in a slow roll behind him.
Arthur ran to Merlin untying him and taking the gag from his mouth, "Are you okay Merlin?" He asked the boy earning a happy smile, and a over barring hug, "There's something about you Merlin, I can't quite put my finger on it." said the Prince once Merlin had let him go.
"Where are we anyway?" asked Arthur as they crawled out of the mud filled creek, and finding a forest and behind them a wall of thorns, and in front of them and Enchanting Forest like no other.
