The screen showed them a small dark market, A man: Knight Valiant. Walked through the smoke that filled the air, he was looking for a section stall.

When he faunally found the right stall, he hooved in front of it, the merchant looked at him but waited for him to talk first. "I understand you have a shield for me" Vailant walked around to stand in front of the short man.

The merchant picked up the shield yellow with three green snakes intertwined, painted on it.

"With your swordcraft and this shield, I guarantee you will win" the merchant reassured the knight.

"Show me how it works" Valiant demanded.

"Certainly" the merchant obliged "Tharanai I'm bis entra ofra honra stolle."

A hissing noise was heard, the three snakes from the shield.

Valiant looked around to see if anyone saw, when he turned back around, he stretched his hand towered the snakes, but they hissed.

"When you're competing in the tournament, you pin your opponent under the shield, a snake strike. Your opponent will be paralysed" he used his hand as gearsets.

He handed Valiant the shield, the snakes still out. "The snakes are now under your command. They will do anything that you tell them to do."

The knight had an evil glint in his eyes "Anything"

"Just say the word" the merchant laughed, Valiant laughed back, but his smile fade into an evil smirk.

"Kill him" Valiant ordered. The merchant's smile vanished. The snakes lunged forward and bit his neck, killing the man.

"That is not a nice way to die," Percival said

He turned and left the market.

The screen changed to Valiant riding in full armour carrying the shield, he rode into Camelot. He threw his seal on the registration table.

"Knight Valant of Western Isles. I'm here for the tournament"

The stewarded nodded and wrote his name down "Welcome to Camelot"

Around the back of the castle, Merlin was dressed in armor, while holding a helmet, shield, and sword. Arthur annoyed. "Ready"

"Armor doesn't look good on you Merlin" Leon said with a chuckle

Arthur turned away from Merlin, swinging his sowed.

"Wait, do you train with your servants, you are acting like a no-good noble, I've ever met," Gwaine said angry tone.

Arthur looked down ashamed, not having anything to say.

"Would it make any difference if I said no?" Merlin said.

"Not really" the prince dismissed, still swinging his sowed.

He turned to face Merlin. Merlin drew him sowed.

"Body. Shield. Body. Shield." Arthur called out after every swing he took at Merlin's shield. Merlin backed away as Arthur swigged.

"Head"

"Head?" Merlin repeated confused. Arthur hit him on the head. "Ow"

The prince walked around Merlin making him turn around.
