Tears ran down the exhausted mans cheeks as capes of scarlet swung backwards in the breeze as chain-mail bodies rushed towards his broken one. A feeble smile attempted to grace his lips, the upturn of the mouth discovering itself to be more in resemblance of a grimace as the pain seared through his veins like a river.

Several strong arms came around his body, holding it upwards in an offering to the clouds, pushing it left and right whilst jostling his head heaven bound, rays of light catching on his droopy eyes, dazzling the brilliant blue as if in an attempt to prevent the sleep that threatened the corners of the neckerchief's vision. 

Finally one pair of calloused fingers seemed to settle into ebony locks, pushing soothing circles into the follicles as a swaying breeze was mimicked by the swaying arms and swaying legs. 

The sparrow body twisted in agony, a rough voice drowning out the unsettling love songs of neighbouring blue tits and swallows, raspy and desperate the willowy fingers pointed in the direction of desire, the swallowed keening forcing steel coated chests to push further into the wilderness, the dying wish of a Merlin ending all sanity even as brambled branches clung to the stains of ruby.

A winding track of dirt and ochre leaves were crunched and crumpled as laden hooves trudged against the billowing breeze. The air seemed to hum with hope as the cluster of warriors marched onward into the crevices of looming boulders and twisted roots.  

The breeze sung louder, a chorus of orchestrated clashing notes, seemingly signalling the arrival and doom of nature's King.

Hey!! Hope you all enjoyed, I'm having a lot of fun just writing these small snipets of a story line, but if they're frustrating I'm open to any further suggestions!

If you have any other story ideas you'd like me to write I'd love to give them a shot! they don't have to be for Merlin either, I'm just a bored fiction-author looking for prompts!

Have a good day!!

Love Itha xx
