Yay, a quick update! :D The word for this drabble is 'peanuts' by BagginsPotterPevensie. It's one of my longer ones and isn't my best, but I hope you all enjoy it anyway! :)

Thanks for all the reviews for the last chapter, please keep them coming! :D

Chamber of Madness

Gaius watched Merlin with slight disapproval as the young Warlock placed an empty bowl in front of him, he could tell something disastrous would soon occur.

"I've find out a way to fix the food shortages!" Merlin exclaimed excitedly.

"Merlin, the crops are a little late, that's hardly a famine," Gaius pointed out.

"But we'll never have to worry about the lack of food again!" Merlin continued, his enthusiasm building. "I've found a spell to create seeds!"

"Really?"

Merlin nodded, "Watch!" And before Gaius could advise Merlin against it, the Warlock raised his hands above the empty bowl, gold light filling his eyes, and cried out "Afferte vitae nuces*!"

Silence. Nothing happened.

Gaius was about to say something, when suddenly,there was a pop and the bowl in front of him burst into peanuts, which scattered across the table.

"Ah, I may have said 'nuts', not seeds…" Merlin began. There were several more pops, and all around him books, glass phials and plates started turning into peanuts, which rolled everywhere. "Oh dear…"

"Have we even discovered peanuts yet?" Gaius asked, watching Merlin run around the chamber, trying to collect up the nuts.

Merlin wasn't sure, but he couldn't reply, as all the books of Gaius' bookshelf were suddenly turning into peanuts, which rained down on him.

"If it's any consolation, nuts can be seeds," Gaius said, just as Merlin slipped over on a peanut and fell to the floor.

Just then, the door opened, and Arthur entered the chamber. "Merlin, what are you—" he began, seeing his manservant on the floor, but then he looked up and saw peanuts tumbling from the shelves, filling the room.

There was a horrible pause.

"I'll come back later." Was all a shocked Arthur said. He quickly turned and hurried out the chamber of madness.
