Truths, Untruths, and Other Happenings

A collection of 100 word drabbles. Mostly based around Merlin and Arthur. Ch 78- Arthur did not understand yet the evils of sorcery. The intention behind the act did not matter. Who knew that better than he did?

29. Court Sorcerer

Author's Note: Set in the future. Personally, I think the appointment of a Court Sorcerer, especially after so long without magic at all, would be something public, something like the swearing in of a king or the appointment of the knights. I also took some liberties with what the position might entail, as we haven't really found that out. I hope everyone enjoys! Please review!

Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin.

Chapter 29: Court Sorcerer

"Do you swear to uphold your position, overseeing the magical community within this realm under the orders of your king?"

"I do."

"Do you promise to do your utmost to see they are treated justly?"

"I promise."

"Do you swear to follow the laws of this kingdom, staying loyal to it and to your king?"

The kneeling man made a more personal oath, voice truly sincere. "My loyalty and my life are yours Arthur, always.

Arthur's eyes flashed with gratitude. He tapped his sword on each of Merlin's shoulders. "As King of Camelot, I name you, Merlin, High Court Sorcerer."
