With a roar from the crowd, Merlin – no, wait, Emrys – most powerful warlock of all times, king of the druids, stood in front of the small army, half-beaten already, and decided to offer some words of encouragement.

"Men, I stand here today on the eve of the last battle. Truth be told, most of you will not survive. But remember, you will die for honor." He paused for a moment. "For justice. For your friends, for your family. Most of all, you fight for what you believe in! So, do not lose faith. We will fight as we lived; with dignity! We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; for today he that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother! And when we're old and gray, we will look back on this battle and pull down our sleeves, to show our scars, the scars that define us! Those scars will be a mark of courage, trust, and liberty! Now, who is willing to fight?!" The crowd was silent. Merlin tried again. "Who is with me!?

There was no answer.

"Merlin," said Arthur, walking in. "Why are you giving your video game a pep talk?"


A/N: Yes, a part of Merlin's speech was from Shakespeare's Henry V, but the rest was mine, so no stealing! *looks suspiciously about*
