One day, our emails will be filled with update spam, and I won't be much of a help considering I've been updating this every day.

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin...just don't tell my father.

Prompt: From SisterOfAnElvenWannabe: Someone giving Arthur the nickname Wart, like in Disney's Sword in the Stone

Rating: K+

Genre: Friendship

Characters: Leon, Arthur

Time Frame: Pre-Series

Summary: Nothing's worse than being expected to train a haughty, scrawny kid to kill. Leon decides to have some fun.

Let's Go On An Adventure


Leon surveyed the scrawny blond kid. I'm supposed to train him?

"My name is Prince Arthur," he announced as though he had not met Leon before. Arthur puffed out his tiny chest.

Leon rolled his eyes. "Not on the battlefield, you're not. You're a soldier."

"A Knight," Arthur corrected impatiently.

"Yes." Leon cocked his head, a thought coming to mind. "But not "Prince Arthur." That doesn't come to play until after you are trained."

"Who am I then?" Arthur's eyes were still full of innocence.

"A squire named Wart...just don't tell your father."


This contradicts the events of "The Once and Future Queen," but at least Arthur wasn't always favored because of his royal lineage, which was what I was trying to get at during this drabble.

Confession: I have never seen "The Sword in the Stone." Actually, I haven't seen a lot of Disney movies until my teenage years began because...actually, I don't know. I have, however, read the book that the movie was based on: "The Once and Future King." "The Sword in the Stone" is the first part of the book.

"My father will hear about this!"

This morning, I was stalking my Facebook, and there was this post, and it was the second-best post since the "Knights of the Ping Pong Table" post. It showed the main cast, only everyone's face was replaced by one of Leon's...including the dragon. And it said, "In a land of Leon and a time of Leon, the destiny of a great Leon rests on the shoulders of a young Leon. His name? Leon."

Guest: "Like Glass" is best described as being, well, like glass. It was designed to break hearts and leave fragile tears in the eyes. As for the events of "His Best Friend," I couldn't resist after reading the prompt for the first time.

Thank you SisterOfAnElvenWannabe, Arachnide, skydoe16, goodgirl275, and Guest for reviewing.

Technically a series of 8 drabbles was set for tomorrow, but, because of this update glitch, I will hold off on posting those until I can spam you guys...which means one absolutely fun drabble based on one of the Q/A questions that you all just LOVED may be posted tomorrow. However, if the glitch has been patched, I will go back to my original plan of 8 drabbles for one phobia.
