Mithian and Arthur enter the chamber with the knights right behind them.
Arthur drew his sword and called out, "Odin, I know you're here. Show yourself."
Odin's men walked in and surrounded them. Arthur and the knights didn't hesitate and began fighting. They quickly get the upper hand and in a matter of moments Odin's men are strewn across the floor, unmoving.
Odin came out with several more of his men who held Rodor at sword point. Mithian ran to her father, who embraced her and kissed her forehead.
"Arthur Pendragon," Odin stated. "At last. I have waited many years for this moment. You killed my son. You took what was most precious to me and now you will pay the forefit."
"My father's life?" Arthur asked. "That wasn't enough."
"No," Odin informed, as two of his men grabbed Arthur and dragged him to his knees.
Arthur sighed. "So be it. But understand this Odin, you kill me, and you will have all of Camelot to answer to."
"Camelot is nothing without it's king," Odin stated
Arthur let out an airy chuckle. "Then you don't know my knights. They will hunt you. And they will find you. And they will not rest until they're done."
"I will deal with your knights soon enough," Odin threatened, "but now, your time has come."
Merlin and Gwaine reach the tomb, only to discover that four of the knights had been captured by several of Odin's men.
"We're too late," Gwaine stated.
"Not if we even up the numbers," Merlin suggested.
"Sounds good to me," Gwaine agreed.
"I'll look for Arthur," Merlin said and started to leave.
Gwaine rested his hand on the warlock's shoulder, "Good luck."
Merlin noticed two of Odin's men blocking the entrance to the tomb and ducked behind a large tree. He enchanted the dry leaves on the forest floor to move as if someone was running over them.
Once the men leave their post, and he knocked them out with the butt of his sword, Merlin ran into the tomb. He arrives at the burial chamber just in time to see Odin raising his sword above Arthur's head.
Merlin crouched down and began to recite: Ic þe bebiede þæt þu abifest nu!
He slammed the palm of his hand down onto the ground. The ground began to shake.
As the ground shook, he watched as Arthur and the knights fought off the remnants of Odin's men.
Merlin took the liberty of stabbing one of the men who had raised his sword at Arthur. As the body fell, his eyes met a shocked Arthur's.
"Merlin?" Arthur asked in confusion.
"Hurry this way!" was Merlin's answer as he motioned for everyone to follow him.
Everyone followed the warlock. In less than a minute they were running through the woods. They stopped on a path only to see more of Odin's men on the same path.
Merlin watched as Arthur looked for a quick escape and found one "This way!"
After running a few more metres Odin's men had caught up with them. Soon a fight had broken out. Mithian hid behind Merlin for protection.
The fighting ceased when Rodor killed one of the men. Arthur looked at the aged man in a surprise.
"Don't look so surprised," Rodor brushed off. "I commanded an army in my time."
"And you will do so again," Arthur promised.
The group began running again only to stop once more when Rodor spoke up "Leave me!"
"Well that's not going to happen," Arthur stated. "You're the reason we're here."
"Leave me," Rodor repeated. "Save Mithian."
Merlin followed Arthur's gaze and saw Odin's men being led by the man himself.
"Follow the ridge line," Arthur suggested.
"What about you?" Rodor asked as he clung to Percival.
"We'll lead them the other way," Arthur informed
"No!" Mithian protested.
"This is between me and Odin," Arthur insisted. "You need no further part in this."
A/N: I added a a couple more chapters. I felt like making the story a bit longer.
Sorry for not posting as often as I promised. My phone bill can't be paid this month. Other things take precedence over it. So whenever I'm around WiFi I do my best to remember to post a chapter. I hope to get the rest of the story up before the month is out.
