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 Guinevere.
‘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 from 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 sat 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 spoke 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 placed his knife
back into his belt with force before turning to talk to Merlin, ‘That was 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.
