Never Cease To Amaze

Swords

Merlin was running. Running faster than he ever has.

Were was he running to. Well to save the Royal Dopplehead of course. Him and the other knights were captured while on patrol, Merlin was able to get away with one of the extra swords that was brought in case one broke or something along those lines.

Merlin finally reached the ruins where they were being held and ran inside. He saw the fire around the counter and froze.

'I can't use magic if there in there.' Merlin realized. He looked around frantically then looked down in his hands remembering the sword. He was going to have to fight the bandits with the sword. And show his skills.

"This 'll be fun." He mumbled sarcastically and walked around the corner.

"Merlin!" Arthur called to his friend as he walked in. Arthur looked him up and down. His cloths were slightly torn, most likely from when he ran here. Arthur saw the sword and almost laughed. What was Merlin going to do with a sword?

"Merlin has come to save us all!" A voice from the corner of the room shouted. This was not one of the knights. The man slowly walked out of the dark and into the light.

"Hello there Emrys." Merlin looked at the knights they all looked confused.

"Hello. Let them go." Merlin said strongly. They knights were shocked. Merlin sounded so strong and powerful yet Merlin was so kind and clumsy.

"What will you do? You little friends are watching?" Merlin thought about it. Show them magic or sword.

He chose sword.

He gripped his sword and got into a fighting stance. The knights almost laughed, but were impressed that he knew the stance.

"Oh your going to fight me." The bandit chuckled and grabbed his sword.

"No I'm just standing like this for fun." Merlin sarcastically replied.

"Alright then." The bandit charged at Merlin. The fight went off for around 5 minutes. Merlin blocking every swing coming his way. Till finally he caused the bandit to drop his sword and held his sword to his neck.

"Yield?" The bandit asked before running off. Merlin watched as the man ran off. Once out of sight he ran over to the knights.

"You can fight!" Percival yelled once he was up.

"Very well might I add." Leon said once he was standing.

"Since when can you fight?" Arthur asked.

"Well." Merlin began. "I watch all of you fight so that's helpful as in footwork and stances. But when I was little me and my friend will would fight with swords we made from wood. As you can see we got quiet good at it. I also practice with Gwaine every once in a while." They all looked at Gwaine.

"When he asked me to practice  with him I thought he wanted me to teach him. The session ended with him teaching me. He's one of the best sword fighters I've ever seen." The all looked back at Merlin. But Merlin was ready back to work.

"Why isn't he a knight?" Arthur looked at Leon.

"If he is then George is my new manservant." They all shuddered at that.

"George and his brass jokes."
