The first chapter of the episode "Valiant"
I woke the next day to already see Merlin was not in his bed. Where could he be? I looked out the window to see Arthur and Merlin wearing armor and walking to the outside of the castle walls. I smiled to myself when I knew what was about to happen. This has got to be the episode Valiant. I can't miss this. I got dressed in my blue dress and grabbed my black cloak. I finally found them before they started the scene.
"You know, I am very disappointed you left without me," I said to them.
Merlin jumped a little when he heard my voice. Arthur smirked as Merlin turned around slowly to see me. He did look a little guilty.
"Sorry Sam, I didn't want to wake you up," he said.
"In other words, he doesn't want you to see him lose badly to me," Arthur said.
Merlin glared at him as I shook my head. "Arthur, I thought I told you stop being a jerk," I suddenly said.
I gulped when I saw Arthur narrowed his eyes at me. I should have known to never speak to him like that. Merlin decided to step in before there is more damage done.
"What she means to say is, she wants to see how tough I am."
Arthur then smirked at Merlin and said, "Oh really, let's prove to her how wrong you really are."
"You owe me big time," Merlin thought to me.
"Yeah I know, thanks bro," I thought back.
Arthur turned to Merlin and said, "Ready?"
"Would it make any difference if I said no," asked Merlin nervously.
Arthur laughed at him and said, "Not really. You ready to watch Sam?"
"Wait, you're really going to let her watch this," asked Merlin.
"Why not? She wants to see you defeated."
"Actually, I just want to watch the show, but I'll take on the winner," I said.
"You do realize a girl can't fight like a knight," said Arthur sarcastically.
"Oh really, who was the one who kicked your butt last time," I asked as I glared at him.
Merlin laughed as he drew his sword out and said, "She's got you there sire."
Arthur narrowed his eyes at Merlin and started to attack him.
"Body. Shield. Body. Shield."
"Shield."
"Head."
Merlin looked confused as he said, "Head?" Of course Arthur hit his sword on Merlin's head. "Ow."
I cringed a little bit, "That's got to hurt."
Arthur however was not impressed. "Come on, Merlin. You're not even trying. Do you want Sam to take over?"
"No no, I'm good over here," I said.
"I hate you," said Merlin under his helmet.
"Love you too bro," I called out to him.
Arthur smirked at me before he turned back to Merlin. "Once more."
Merlin sighed at this, "Oh, no.
"To the left. To the right. And left. Head."
"Ow!"
"You got this Merlin," I called out.
"Arthur, can we Ow!"
Arthur was now getting frustrated with him. "Come on, Merlin! I've got a tournament to win."
"Can we stop now, please? Ow! Shield. Body."
"That's it Merlin, you got this."
"You're supposed to be cheering for me Sam," said Arthur.
"Of course… Yea Arthur, go Arthur," I said sarcastically.
Arthur smirked at me then said, "Shield."
"Shield. Ah."
Arthur suddenly hit him in the head. I really cringed this time.
Merlin couldn't take it anymore. "Ow."
"That was head, not shield Arthur," I said.
Merlin fell over backwards and his helmet rolled off. I couldn't sit there anymore.
"Oh my gosh, Merlin are you ok," I asked as I ran up to help him.
He smiled at me saying thanks for helping him.
"You're braver than you look. Most servants collapse after the first blow."
"Is it over," Merlin asked hopefully.
Arthur smirked at him and said, "That was just the warm up. How's your mace work coming along?"
I looked back at Arthur to see him spinning a mace over his head. Merlin looked at me and his head fell back to the ground.
"Maybe you both need a break," I suggested.
Arthur looked at me in shock, "Excuse me?"
"Please Arthur, for me," I asked as I did my puppy dog face. I have to say no one can resist my puppy dog face. Arthur sighed and gave in.
"Fine, but five minutes. Then we go back to practice."
"Thank you," Merlin whispered to me.
I smiled that him. This is going to be longer than I thought. I hope Merlin will be ok.
There you go hope you enjoy it.
