Guardians: The knights try to protect Merlin at the same time he protects them.

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin.


Merlin was the first one to notice Morgana in the midst of the battle. bandits came pouring out of the woods, replacing each one that fell. The knights fought, keeping an eye out on each other. Merlin himself was hiding behind a tree, doing magic. Tree branches dropped on bandits, they dropped their weapons and tripped.

Everything was going fine until Morgana showed herself. Just seconds after Merlin noticed Morgana, Arthur saw her and let out a dry.

"Morgana!"

"Hello, dear brother." She smiled a cold, wicked smile.

Distracted, Arthur didn't see the two bandits that were about to attack him. Merlin threw himself out from behind the tree, causing the knights, and Morgana, to turn their attention to him.

At the same time, the knights charged to protect Merlin and Arthur while Merlin grabbed Arthur's sword and cut through one then knocked back another. They all stood together, back to back under the attack of Morgana, protecting each other.
