Well Hi to you. It has been a few days since I last updated for you guys, so thanks for being so patient. I wonder if I'm losing followers with my slow updates?
Oh my gosh. this is the first time i've updated on the computer and man... i write short chapters.
but it works.
news for this story, it is almost done. maybe two or three chapters left.
now, you almost didnt get this chapter because i wasnt wanting to type. reading... yea maybe... editing an old story of mine was my first priority, still is. once i get this story done though, you guys who are following my other stories, it pleases me to let you know that i will only be updating those once, if not twice a week, and while i keep those magnificent stories up, i hope to have managed to rewrite the truth and the lies (my crappy first fanfiction of merlin and of any kind i have put up here)
I hope not. School has me busy, and I'm currently trying my hardest to get that schedule down.
Anyways, I have big plans for this chapter.
Well... Maybe that's a lie.
But inspiration has hit and here is your next chapter.
I have it planned out from here on I think.
The dragon scene just threw me off guard and I had to figure out what the heck I was doing.
Reactions of the Idiot King
Chapter twenty nine- Again
Merlin awoke with a bad feeling in his gut. He was alone, in the camp, with only George sitting by the fire, making some stew. It was the most Merlin could do to not groan at the thought that he was alone with the bootlicker. Sitting up, he looked at the man, who froze, glancing at him nervously.
"George, I won't hurt you, you know that right?" Merlin asked, looking at the man. "Where is everyone? What happened? I was riding on the horse, then we stopped for water and I can't remember much after that."
"They drugged you." George said, Merlin's head snapping up as he looked at the servant, who looked as if he had just blurted something out.
"Why aren't we in Ealdor?" Merlin asked. "What happened? Why'd they drug me?"
"They didn't tell me." George said quickly. A bit too quickly for Merlin's liking.
"Where's the King?" Merlin asked, looking around. "Are they okay?"
"Just fine sire, I don't think they could be safer." George said, then paused, "Or in any more danger that is."
"What do you mean?" Merlin snapped. "What happened?"
"Well, you see-" George bit his lip, "They went to meet kilgra or someone of the sorts-"
"Killigarrah." Merlin snapped, standing up quickly. "What do you mean? That dragon called them out here? Why?"
"I think it was to find out what-" There was a loud thunderous roar that shook Merlin's very core, cutting the man's words off.
"They're in danger."
It was when Killigarrah suddenly broke the silence that had dawned over them when Arthur finally came to a realisation, that was quickly lost. He gave a deep rumbling pained roar right as fire hit him on the back as he turned to face the skies. Another dragon not even half his size was raining down on them, Mordred on her back.
Arthur and the knight's all reached for their swords, Gwen running over to Gaius, looking around in shock. The older dragon opened his mouth to have an inferno escape it, aimed at the younger dragon, who let out a deranged snarl. Arthur looked over at Gaius, who looked shaken up. It was only when Mordred hopped off of the dragon that the dragon flew up higher, snarling as she tried escaping the flames of Killigarrah.
She dove for Arthur with a snarl, Killigarrah looking oddly pained to everyone's eyes. It was rare to see a dragon in such conflict. It was only when a familiar voice sounded that he seemed to relax, a man with dark raven hair in the clearing, looking at the King as the dragon continued speeding towards him from the sky, Aithusa's jaws opening.
"O Drakon, et prohibere ne derelinquas nos esse!" Merlin's voice sent chills down Arthur's spine, the tone carrying a deep power in it, seeming to change his voice altogether. Aithusa jerked upright with a scream, flapping her wings as she glared at Merlin, who's eyes turned gold as he muttered a spell under his breath, a dagger stopping right before it could hit his back.
"Well well well," Mordred murmured, "I thought you weren't going to show up, Emrys." Mordred said, walking up to Merlin, who's back was still to him.
"Morgana's gone to the castle hasn't she?" Merlin snapped, meeting Arthur's eyes with his own golden ones. Arthur saw a shimmering screen in front of him, looking around to see that there was the same look around all the other knight's.
"You are all too bright." Mordred scowled.
"Since when have you become her right hand man?" Merlin drawled out. Arthur looked at the man in confusion as Merlin's face turned into one of regret and pain.
"I never have." Mordred claimed. "If you think your shields shall protect your friends, you are very wrong."
"You are currently up against a dragon and his dragon lord, the King's manservant, and Emrys, and you dare try threatening my own friends and family?" Merlin snapped out, "I dare you, come for me."
"Fulgor eum interficerent!" Mordred yelled as Merlin muttered something they all couldn't hear, suddenly behind Mordred as the lightening struck the shield in front of Arthur, sending him jumping back in shock.
It was only then that he realised the two must be talking within each other's minds, for suddenly Merlin scowled, Mordred going to his knees, white with pain.
"I will let you know Mordred." Merlin said as he looked at the dragon, "I can not let you interfere with my destiny any longer. It's about time I listened to the Great Dragon."
"I was hoping you'd have forgotten, Emrys." Mordred snapped as his back arched, his screams echoing through the woods.
"Cado." Merlin's voice cracked as he muttered the incantation, the man on the ground suddenly going limp, blood running out of his mouth.
"Merlin." The Dragon knelt down to look at the warlock more directly. Arthur saw Merlin look back at the magical creature, tears falling from his face.
"It's not going to get better you know." Merlin snapped, "I have Morgana to worry about too."
"The Witch isn't something you should worry over, Young Warlock." Killigarrah said.
"I could have told them myself." Merlin said suddenly after the two had just glared at each other for some time. Gaius seemed to raise an eyebrow as Arthur realised they must have been doing the same thing Mordred had done with Merlin before he was killed.
"You were in no condition." The dragon stated, almost sounding fonder as he spoke to the man. "I take my leave here, Young Arthur, Lady Guinevere. Merlin, that witch must be killed, so do so quickly, before she kills you."
With that the dragon took off without a word.
Who else was scared to heck when they watched courage the cowardly dog? It still freaks me out..
And btw, we only have a few more chapters left here. If not one, maybe two?
I hope you've enjoyed the story!
