Origin Of Albion

Last night

It is the morning after the horrific scare that couldve cost Percival his life. The morning starts with a council meeting.

Arthur slams his hand on the table.

Arthur: It has become apparent that we have a traitor in our midst.

The nights stand alert listening and the court room is filled with shock.

Arthur: last night, Sir Percvial was poisoned by the morteus flower, this is the work of a sorcerer but we have seen this before. Gaius..?

Gaius steps forward.

Gaius: this has been done before by an enchantress by the name of Nimueh, although many years have past since her doom. So this has to be a very skilled sorcerer and they must have intention to kill or bring harm to camelot.

Arthur: We have gathered all the people from the tavern that night and had them interrogated. None so far have peaked any interest.

Council member: Could it not be the tavern owners? They are the ones to pour the drinks are they not?

Arthur shakes his head.

Arthur: They have been loyal since my father reigned, i do not believe so at all. And when i say everyone was interrogated, it does not exclude them.

The room is filled with confusion and speculation.

Merlin: I seem to think the sorcerer has their ways to blend in, it isnt hard if theyre that skilled. For all we know they couldve disguised themselves.

Arthur nods and grunts.

Arthur: That makes our lifes a lot more difficult. Percival do you not remember anyone standing out at all, did anyone speak to you that night in the tavern?

Percival shakes his head.

Arthur sighs and dismisses the meeting but informs everyone to be on high alert, and to inform him of any suspicions.

Left in the room is the knights, Arthur, Gaius, Gwen and Merlin.

Gwen: How could they have possibly snook by.

Elyan: Do you think theyre still present in Camelot?

Gaius: Well all we can do it keep our ears out and eyes peeled.

Lancelot: I will do a patrol with some guards sire, ensure nothing else looks a stray.

Arthur nods and wafts his hand, Elyan joins him. Gwen leaves shortly after accompanied by Gaius.

Merlin: Howre you feeling today Percival.

Percival: Honestly better than ever, you guys really did your stuff right.

They all chuckle lightly.

Arthur: Gwaine did the most, fighting off those spiders.

Gwaine scoffs as he leans against a wall.

Merlin: He was super worried about you.

Percival looks at Gwaine. Gwaine, embarrassed looks away.

Gwaine: You girls afraid of spiders really? It was nothing.

Percival chuckles and thinks back to the night previous, he heard snippets of the conversation. Merlin and Arthur teasing Gwaine and telling him that he wont know if he doesnt try.

Merlin: Percival?

Percival snaps out of it and smiles.

Percival: Sorry i was trying to think back to the tavern last night, see if i could remember anything out of the ordinary. Im going to take a walk and see if anything comes to mind.
