Chapter Two: The Hunting Trip

Merlin moved quietly through the undergrowth hoping to catch up with Arthur, the prince in question had run after a golden flash, of which he believed to be a animal of great worth. Merlin shook his head… how he despised hunting, so barbaric. Then an arrow smashed into a tree inches from his head

"Sorry Merlin thought you were a rabbit" Gwaine shouted from a distance. Swearing Merlin moved on.. Then he saw the creature.

Arthur was right to follow it, the creature stood slightly taller than anyone and was covered in metallic armour. It had six golden eyes and a mouth slightly ajar. In the mouth Merlin could see layers of sharp fanged teeth. Its hands were human except slightly grey and with long black fingernails so sharp it could have ripped a hole in a man. Merlin stepped back and snapped a twig.

The result was instant the creature spun round and raised its hand, its eyes glowed and Merlin saw as waves of fire rushed towards him.

"Sheileco Vernexo Pyro" Merlin said and a invisible shield protected him from harm. An arrow flew passed and hit the creature, the arrow bounced of its armour and instead jumped high in the air. It screeched loudly on the way up.

"Arthur?" Merlin asked

"Yes Merlin, good God did you see that" he asked stepping into view "Merlin move! " he commanded as the fire began to spread towards him. Merlin ran over to him as the other knights moved closer.

"Arthur" Lancelot began "We just saw some kind of creature that ripped a bandit it two with its bare hands". Suddenly the screeching resumed and looking up the creature was coming down."Duck!" Gwaine shouted as they all dived for cover. All but one knight did and as the creature came down he was squashed by the creature landing on his head. It roared in victory and turned to face Arthur who had come out of hiding to face the creature. It moved towards him with its eyes glowing. Merlin watched as Arthur was flung into the air and the creature jumped up to him jaw open.

"Repelox" Merlin said and the creature suddenly hit what seemed to be an invisible wall and came crashing down to the floor.

"Floxour landaus" Merlin muttered and Arthur was suspended in midair slowly descending. The creature had not given up it flicked the arrows being fired upon it and ripped one knights sword in two before punching him so heard Merlin could hear the bones crack.

"Hello Emrys" Merlin head in his head before the creature picked him up. Merlin looked at the monster that was holding him, he could smell it putrid breath and felt its hands tighten around his neck.

"Your protect the Pendragon" Merlin heard. He nodded saying so only it could hear

"He is Magic's only hope".

"NO EMRYS! He is Magic's enemy and all enemy's of magic must be destroyed" It screamed and the two knights approaching it were blasted unconscious. Merlin could only see Gwaine and Lancelot. The creatures hand was curled into a fist and Merlin could almost see it punching a hole through his chest but before it could strike a blinding white light erupted from Merlin. Staggering the creature let him go and as the light faded Merlin raised his palm. Then energy balls fired out of his hand hitting the creature and damaging its armour. Lancelot looked impressed, Gwaine shocked and Arthur was seemingly unconscious from being up so high. The metal covering its chest was momentarily exposed and Merlin using his powered forced a sword from the dead knights hand into the monsters chest. Thick black blood leaked from the wound and the creature fell to its knees and died.

Merlin looked at Gwaine who clapped him on the back saying something about not telling your best friend you were an all powerful wizard who could have helped him in a gambling tournament. Then Lancelot looked at Gwaine who shut up almost instantly and together after getting Gwaine to drag Arthur began walking back to Camelot.
