Definition of a Merlin Drabble

by Lya200

A drabble: a short work of fiction of around one hundred words in length. A Merlin drabble: pure chaos. How many adventures can occur in 100 words? Drabble 305: Arthur faces a guilty conscience as he takes an innocent life to keep the bandits from hurting his friend.

17. The Forgotten Knight

As promised, a Christmas Eve drabble (even though I woke up an hour or so ago).

This is a combination of two prompts: one from MythologyStar and one from morningstar115.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, Jon Snow.

Prompt: The Forgotten Knight: From morningstar115 and MythologyStar: Holiday themed...rather AU...Merlin is trying to put up decorations in the castle, uses magic to make his job easier, and is seen by...someone. Your choice on who ;) Plus Something to do with Percival (Hardly anyone goes on about him!)

Rating: K+

Genre:General

Characters:Merlin, Percival

Time Frame: Between Season 4 and Season 5

Summary: Holiday Special! Merlin cheats whilst decorating for Christmas and someone catches him.

Let's Go On An Adventure

---

Next chance he got, Merlin was going to kill Arthur. Tonight was the Christmas feast, and Merlin was to decorate the entire castle.

But thank the gods for his magic, else he'd never finish!

"Hyrste." His eyes flashed gold. Three ornaments floated to the higher branches.

Merlin thought that he was alone. Alas, he had forgotten about Sir Percival, who did promise to help.

Percival wanted to say that he was surprised that Merlin had magic, but he really wasn't. Nor did he care.

"Um, Merlin?"

Merlin startled. "I wasn't-"

"Calm down, and pass me the tinsel."

---

According to the translator I used, "hyrste" means "to decorate/adorn ornament."

So how was that? MythologyStar had made the point that nobody writes about Percival, so I decided to use him for morningstar115's prompt. Percival did not grow up in Camelot, so logically, he probably does not share the same views on magic...unless if Cenred used sorcerers to kill his family. Also, I just think that it's in his character not to care.
