Let's Go On An Adventure

Arthur tried to ignore the muffled yells from behind the rubble. Merlin is safe, he repeated to himself. Merlin is safe.

He swung his sword in an arc, trying to defend himself, but it was no use. As the Knight's sword laced through the air towards him, Arthur heard a feminine voice command, "Stop."

The sword froze just inches away from his neck. Arthur's head swiveled towards a shadowy corner where a familiar blonde woman stood.

Morgause.

Arthur backed away slowly from the Knight's blade, then he turned back towards the sorceress, who was smiling at him.

-Morgause, keep your witchy hands away from Arthur!

-And the muffled yells are actually spells said in Merlin's desperation to save Arthur!
