I am back! Note, if you haven't read princes come in all shapes and sizes and the lost prince do not read this or you will be incredibly confused.
I plan to bring more of the past into this but it will be sad. I know where it will end.
They were in the council chambers of Camelot, a man, no old that 25 stood in front of king Uther. Apparently his village had been attacked. By what they did not know, that was why he was here.
"It came at night sire. Mostly full moons but…" The man looked down. "It seems that sometimes he will just come at night." He said, shacking. "It takes our children, breaks into our homes and takes them. We find the children in the morning sire." His voice breaks.
"They are in the forest, their throats ripped out and their hearts missing from their chests." Tears started running down his face.
"Sometimes, if someone is out after dark they are taken. They are torn to shreds. Barely anything to bury."
"Can you give us a description of the beast?" Uther said sharply.
"Yes, it is in the form of a wolf at night. A giant wolf, but it has the lower body of a human. Well, close. It is covered in deep black fur and it stands not on four, but two legs unless it is running. Its fingers end with wicked curved claws and so do its toes. It is a creature of nightmare sire but that isn't the worst part." He starts to shake even more.
"When the moon goes behind the clouds, we hear screams. And after, we hear a mans laughter. Then the moon returns and he starts to scream the screams turn to howls. And the attacks start again." He started to sob. Merlin wanted nothing more than to comfort the man.
"I'm sorry." He sobbed.
"It is quite alright. Gaius, Do you know what this creature is?" Uther asked.
"Perhaps sire but I must check my books to see if I am correct." Gaius said, his voice trembling slightly. Merlin frowned, since when did gaius tremble?
"Then what do you believe it to be?" Uther asked.
"I believe it to be… a werewolf sire. " Gaius said and Merlin just raised an eyebrow, he had heard stories of werewolves yes. But it was mostly to stop him from wondering in the castle at night.
"What village do you come from?" Uther asked the man and he looked up.
"Jionel sire." He said and Merlin's heart stopped. Jionel was in Asectian but many there despised himself and his mother. They were near the border of Camelot. Well, the closest place to the border.
"Jionel is in Asectian. Why do you not report this to their queen and prince?" Arthur asked curiously.
"My village despise them. We do not move for we must survive but we hate magic with all our heart." Merlin wanted to tell this man to move to another kingdom then but he stopped himself.
"Arthur, you may take a small number of knights. Stop this beast from coming into Camelot." Uther said and Arthur nodded.
"Yes father." He said taking his leave.
Meanwhile, in Asectian…
Thomas and Jordan had stood by as another villager had reported the same thing, except a tiny bit different. Apparently, some of the villagers had tried to use magic on the beast, to drive it from their land but it was unaffected by even the most powerful spells. It appeared to be in the land between Jionel and Bindana. This man was from Bindana.
"Thomas." Hunith said in a kind voice. "Can you take a squad of knights out to the land in between Jionel and Bindana?"
"Yes your higness." He bowed and exited the room, getting ready for the long journey ahead. He put on his special Armour, the one saying Honour and left the room. Oblivious to the trouble himself and his brothers were about to get themselves into.
I am sorry for the short chapter, but I have no idea what is going to happen so I have to think for a moment then keep writing. Sometimes. Please review?
