Merlin 1X1

"How come we have to distract him?" Arthur complained as he ran, "You know I'm a perfectly good shot!" He drew his sword, knowing full well that it probably wouldn't have any effect, but if he was only distracting Arthur figured he may as well use it. "What's the plan then? You magic him while I attempt to divert his attention with my sword?"

Merlin glanced at him with a grin,"I magic him? All we have to do is get his attention, then make him follow us down the street. Anne will shoot him and he will die, problem solved," said Merlin. They arrived at the high street. And he was. he looked just like a normal guy, except he wore a cloak and was evil. He was dressed in black and dark blue, and he had his hands stretched in front of him. there was crashes and lightning bolts reined down upon the shops and houses and buildings. People were running in the opposite direction. To the castle where the knights were waiting to keep them safe until he was dead.

Arthur had to quickly step to his side in order to dodge a group of people running past him. His eyes darted around, taking in all the madness and destruction. Caligular looked nothing like Arthur had expected him to. In fact, if he had past him on the street her wouldn't of given the sorcerer a second glance. Then he noticed a small child hidden behind a pile of rubble. She looked terrified, and didn't seem to be able to get to the castle. "You distract him then, Merlin," Arthur ordered, "I'll catch you up in a second." Then, without waiting for an answer, he ran out in front of Caligular. Arthur dodged a lighting bolt that was sent his way, jumped over a fallen over trading stall. Finally he dived behind the rubble and scooped up the child. "You're safe now." he said to her, waiting for Merlin to divert Caliguar's attention from where he was so he could run.

Merlin gritted his teeth. He up turned his palms and his eyes went yellow. there was the sound of a bang and a large rock came flying from some rubble nearby, hitting him in the head. Caliguar's head turned towards Merlin and he started to walked after him. Merlin turned and ran down the street, stopping under the bell tower. The sorcerer was running, chanting a spell as he went. Merlin closed his eyes, hoping that Anne would not miss. There was the sound of a shriek and when Merlin opened his eyes the sorcerer was lying on the ground with an arrow sticking out of his shoulder. Anne walked up behind him,"Not to bad if I say so myself," said Anne with a grin. Charlie came walking up looking distressed,
"I can't find Rosie anywhere," he said, looking like he was about to cry. Of course he wouldn't cry, he wouldn't dream of doing something like that!

As soon as Caligular started going towards Merlin, Arthur leapt to his feet, the girl balanced in one arm and his sword in the other, and started to also head that way. Usually he would of risked running past the socerer to get to Merlin, but as there was someone else with him he kept behind him. As soon as Caligular fell he raced towards Merlin, who was now joined by Anne and Charlie. "You again?" he said in mock annoyance when he saw Charlie. Then he looked towards Merlin and Anne. "You did a good job, even if you are sorcerers. Now do either of you fancy helping me find this child's parents?"

[Scottish Girl]

(That was a good episode. I love that baby dragon. But I was kind of annoyed at Arthur for trying to kill it. Meany!!!)

Charlie turned around and his eyes lit up, "Rosie," he said with a grin and lifted the girl into his arms. The girl put her arms around his neck and closed her eyes, obviously she was tired. He smiled, "Anne, we need to go. Remember you have a meeting in the morning," said Charlie with a sigh. He was like Anne's secretary more then body guard. Anne really didn't need a guard, she could take care of her self. But when it came to remembering things she was hopeless. Anne nodded and looked down at the dead body with a wrinkled nose, "You might want to move that Merlin," she said and walked away.

(At the start I was convinced the man was Lancelot. I was saying to my sister "Is that Lancelot? What's he doing back?" but then it wasn't so I was sad
And the dragon was so cute <3 I wanted Merlin to take it back to Camelot and keep it as a pet.)

Arthur frowned as he handed the child over. Not even a thank you? Really? I just saved his kid from what might of been a rather painful death. People have no manners anymore. He shook his head. Then a clock caught his attention. "Damnit! We need to be in the hall in ten minutes, Merlin! Get some guards to sort out the body, you need to be there too!" he said, tugging on the servants arm in order to try and convince him to hurry up.

(Should Arthur loose his memory now or later?)

[Scottish Girl]

(it might have been the same person who played Lancelot. And I wish my siblings watched things with me. As I was watching that there were two ambulance men with my brother. And they were standing in front of me asking me questions, and I almost shouted at them to get out of the way of the telly.)

Merlin looked confused, "Why," he asked. It had been a long day for him and he was confused. Two guards with things over their noses bent down and carefully took the sorcerer's body away. Gwen walked over, looking sober for once,
"The rest are in bed, really, it is shocking how much people drink some times," said Gwen with a tut and a sigh. Merlin tried not to laugh at that.

[pollypup]

(Did you mean Gwen or Gwaine there? The whole 'sober for once' bit is confusing me. I'm going to reply as if it was Gwen)

"The coronation, Merlin! As my servant, and Gaius's ward, you get a more or less front row seat!" Arthur said, tugging Merlin's sleeve again, "Come on you idiot, we didn't fight off this sorcerer so we could miss it!" He looked at Gwen quickly. "You too, Gwen. They'll be expecting you there."

(Should we skip over the coronation or do you want to do it?)

[Scottish Girl]

(Yeah, meant Gwaine, and we should probably skip)

Everyone troops-ed out of the man hall. Merlin stood beside Arthur, "So what do we do now. Camelot's in a mess and we don't have a life line now Anne's gone," asked Merlin. Gwaine was standing on the left of Arthur, looking cheerful. The other knights were sitting nearby, all fast asleep.
