My mouth is sore. I'm sure that you are all happy that I'm finally getting payback for all of the sad chapters I've been posting.
Announcement: Tomorrow, my family will be camping in the backyard for Memorial day weekend. Does that mean that I won't be updating? Not necessarily, just that it would be harder to sneak away and pretend that I am a really awesome person by going online. Any tips are greatly appreciated.
Disclaimer: I thought that I bought the rights to Merlin last night. I met the guy in a dark alleyway and everything. However, I woke up this morning with a headache and my wallet missing.
Prompt: From ScruffydaDruid: You should write a follow-up [to "Like Glass"] where Arthur's magic reacts to his emotions and goes haywire, maybe at an unjust council meeting.
Rating: T
Genre: Angst
Characters: Arthur, Uther, Leon, the Council, and mentions of Freya
Time Frame: Post "Like Glass" and "Glass-Like"; during "The Lady of the Lake"
Summary: The Council has been discussing the threat of the escaped Druid girl, Uther calls her a monster, and Arthur doesn't like it.
Let's Go On An Adventure
Like a snake, Arthur's newly found magic coiled up, ready to strike at the man before him.
"Father..."
The King wheeled on him. "Are you disagreeing with me?"
Arthur closed his eyes, thinking of the sheer terror in Freya's eyes, and nodded.
Uther growled deeply. "How could you, my own son, choose to defend this Druid?"
"She could be scared," Arthur argued, his magic flaring up. "She might not even want-"
WHAM! Uther, in a fit of rage, backhanded his son, leaving the Council and the suspicious Leon stunned.
Instantaneously, all of the glass in the room shattered.
Well, that happened...
Some bits were cut out to make room for the emotion of the magic.
~The summary notes the information cut from the beginning.
~"The suspicious Leon" is equivalent to a Leon watching Arthur carefully as he's making his report.
Now, what will happen next? You'll just have to see ;)
