"we must find..." a gale passed them, making their cloaks dance violently in air "...the herb."


"what for?" arthur asked, smelling his toe cheese.

"long story..." merlin sighed.

arthur raised his eyebrow.

"basically, gaius is dead."

"oh, cool. i'll get my things."

arthur ran off into the distance for a brief moment and returned with a handbag, an artichoke, a band-aid and a wooden sword. "i think that's everything" he said at last.

merlin nodded with approval and hopped back onto his donkey. arthur joined him, wrapping his arms tightly around merlins neck.

they rode for what seemed like weeks. it wasn't actually for weeks, because if it was, gaius would have decomposed already.

"d-d-did you hear that?" arthur squeaked, tightening his hold on merlin's neck "sounds like a monster!"

the growl echoed through the forest once more, causing arthur to jump a little. "merlin?"

arthur let go of the boy's neck and noticed that he was snoring. "ya fukin clotpole!" he hit merlin's head with the artichoke.

"OWWW!" merlin yelped, rubbing his head "i was just takin a quick nap!"

arthur's eyes were filled with fear. loud footsteps approached. the leaves rustled.

"m-m-m-merlin!" he squealed, pointing in the direction of the foe.
