Tin Universe Daily #140
There are so many versions of some stories,
Especially when a prospective to the title of
The Pledge is screwing with reality in Utah,
‘Perceival
is the dungeon secure?’
Perceival
had entered the great hall of the castle to find Lancelot standing with King
Arthur, Merlin, and Queen Quinivere.
‘I
laid the magic’s Merlin gave us to keep them at bay. That was after killing
eight of the creatures first and to my hand those evils are fierce fighters.’
Merlin
was sitting in the King’s throne chair with a faraway look on his face but his
speech came with full attention to all, ‘You should see the ones in the flesh
world Knight.’
Everyone
paid him no mind at the moment for they knew how at times of crisis Merlin
usually faded off in thought for a while until forming plans.
Arthur,
Lancelot, and Guinevere where standing by the famous round table itself and
Perceival joined them there. Guinevere patted him on the face, ‘Perceival you
should rest.’
Perceival
kissed her hand, ‘No time for rest my lady,’ he said before turning to
Lancelot, ‘What is our next action? The magic’s of Merlin now have them kept
from entering the castle but our people and fellow Knights are dying outside
these walls.’
Lancelot
smiled at his friend, ‘Merlin says they are after something or they would not
be here. He is meditating on the subject now…’
The
King jumped in, ‘But until he gets to the answer we need to defend our homes,
our people.’
Guinevere
smiled. She loves seeing how much he cares about his people.
Lancelot
pulled a knife from his belt and began to carve out the shape of the castle on
the sacred table and then the city and the city walls, ‘The word that came from
Aggravaine is that Gawain has fallen. He found his body in the stables.’
Guinevere
put her hand on Lancelot's and he pulled it away knowing her meaning, ‘No my
lady I have heard nothing about Joanshir but I say she is out there fighting.’
Perceival
sits down in a chair, ‘That girl is already one of the best fighters in the
kingdom on heart alone. I say she is also.’
Lancelot
speaks up again, ‘I think Perceival is right. No fear for her I think we need
to have.’ Lancelot quickly changes subject, ‘Ector is leading the defense of
the city. He quickly gathered all Defender Knights along with all of the people
of Camelot to push back this undead march.’
The
King walks over towards the thrones of Camelot and sits in Guinevere’s seat
because Merlin was still in his, ‘And what of Mordred?’
Merlin
stood up suddenly and began stretching his arms as if just awaken from a very
long sleep, ‘Mordred is with his brother Ywain protecting my secrets. Now
Lancelot what is our next move?’
Lancelot,
who has always had a dislike of Merlin, but respected him out of the love his
King had for the old wizard and placed his knife back into his belt with force
before turning to talk to Merlin, ‘That was we what our waiting was for, to
hear from you Warlock.’
Merlin
pats the king on his head like a little child and then walked over to The Round
Table, ‘I am awaiting a friend who just arrived.’
Merlin
grabs an apple off the table, ‘Then we let the creatures in.’
That
did not put the stunned look that sat on the faces of the others in the room.
The statement of Merlin having a friend did it.
