It had taken a bit longer than we had hopeed to reach the Borders. There had been more danger but no trolls. We had rode on endless days and I had hunted continuously. We were running out of time.
The people of Camelot would be growing suspicious by now. They would be beginning to wonder why their new king had abandoned them on the first day of his duties.
We rode on through forestry, my bow tied tight to the inside of my cloak, out of sight. Arthur said the drewids are either peaceful or hateful, with no inbetween. so if I showed up with a weapon shown clearly, peaceful or not, the town would atounatically attack us.
Arthur his his sword in his cloak also as we drew closer to the borders.
"Okay," Arthur said, jumping off of his deep bay horse. "we go on foot from here." Merlin and I did the same with our horses.
As we were walking, in cover out of sight, I noticed a silver object peek out from Arthur's cloak. "Arthur?"
"Yes Maria." He replied, not turning to face me.
"What is that in your cloak? Wait, is that the troll bla-"
"Quiet! Oh my god Maria you nearly blew our cover. You cou-"
"Why are you carrying Algovor's troll blade with you, of all times?" I asked furiously. Arthur blushed a deep red. He shook his head. "Give it to me." I demanded. Arthur looked at me incredulusly. "No!" I shrugged. "Fine then. Just remember," I said, grabbing his arm. "You made me do this." I twited his arm in a circular motion and brought him to the ground. His cloak flared out around his groaning and moaning figure as I snatched the knife from his belt. "Maria! That's dangerous! Give it back!" I shook my head, no, and stashed it in the most secretive pocket of a backkpack, you could ever imagine. Arthur sighed in defeat as Merlin stood, his frame shaking with... laughter? "What?" Arthur asked, dusting dirt from his cloak. Merlin calmed himself before answering,"You were tackled by a girl." He erupted into small spouts of laughter again, as I high-fived him. Arthur walked away, shaking his head. But I couldn't help but notice the smlal grin growing on his cheeks.
