"What is happening?" Mordred asks out loud. He then looks over to merlin with a questioning look and raising one of his eyebrow. " what?" merlin replies. " what did you do now?" Mordred yells out anger flashing in his eyes." Really? You accuse me? You are the one who brought us here in the first place." Merlin says angrily. " while you were having your beauty sleep, I was keeping watch" merlin now explains with a offended tone. Mordred holds up his hand and walks over to merlin. " beauty sleep? Do you know what I had go through the previous day" Mordred states as he points a finger at merlin. " well you are not the only one who has had it difficult. and while we on the subject, you are the one who dragged me here and the way I see it, YOU need ME" merlin utters without missing a beat as he pokes his finger at Mordred's chest. Mordred looks down at the spot merlin poked and balls his fist trying to calm himself down. He looks merlin straight in the eyes and steps closer. They were both very close to each other as they and neither was backing down. Both their eyes start to turn gold as they were chanting a spell when suddenly they heard a loud growl coming out of nowhere. They both stop what they were doing and look at the direction of the monstrous sound. They were so invested in their feud that they completely forget their current situation. Merlin slowly looks around and remembers why they started to argue in the first place. " what is this place? He asks to no one in particular. Mordred could only nod along with his question. No too long ago they were sleeping in a camp inside a forest, now they are in the middle of a wasteland with no end in sight. "does this make sense to you" Mordred now verbalized baffled at what he is seeing. Merlin can only reciprocate what Mordred said as he takes it all in. they are in the middle of a nowhere. The ground is dry and to weather is very hot. Yet the air around them gives of a chilling breeze. Merlin looks for any sign of life and shouts a loud "hello!". The only thing he gets back is an echo. " well that's new" merlin comments as he takes a few steps forward." Hey where are you going?" Mordred yells after him. " what do you think, staying here won't help us any more than doing nothing so we might as well explore. And I also I am not very keen on becoming a whatever that was diner" Merlin replies with a shrug. Mordred just shakes his head and sighs out loud as he reluctantly admits that merlin is right but he won't voice it. So he just held his mouth shut and follows merlin.
Previousday....."we are going back, pack up men and be ready to depart" Arthur ordered beforeentering his tent to gather his belongings. He reaches for his satchel and putseverything inside. He takes a moment to look at the satchel that Gwen gave him." Gwen" he says softly with a little smile playing on his lips. The only thinggood about this is that he gets to go back to his queen and without anycasualties. That morgana didn't show up was now in the far back of his mind assoon as he saw the satchel. Gwen always helpedhim ease his mind. He can't wait to reunite with his love. he is brought out ofhis thoughts by an annoying voice" princess everyone is ready to go" Gwaine announceswith his trademark smirk. Arthur rolls his eyes and nods at him and says "good, lets depart." The knights are already read and mount their horses as soonas Arthur leaves his tent. Arthur also mounts his horse and looks back one lasttime at where the battle would have taken place. He closes his eyes and yells "HA!". The horse starts running and the others suitly follow him as they all arenow in gallop. After half a day of riding through a forest, Arthur ordered ahalf an hour rest. " we need to get moving as soon as we can" Arthur announcesafter just 10 minutes. Gwaine looks over at perceival and Perceival looks overat Leon. " I know why he is in such a hurry but the castle won't grow legs andrun away" Gwaine says jokingly. " well he just wants to see the queenswellbeing as soon as possible." Leon answered as Perceival just nods along crossinghis arms. " and you see men, that's why I will never bind myself to a singlewoman" Gwaine voices proudly. Perceival huffs and says " yeah that's why". He shortlyafter leaves a baffled gwaine and wide eyed Leon behind. That is very weird behaviorfor perceival, it seems today really is a weird day. They just stand there notmoving still trying to make sense of what just happened, the quiet perceivalnot only spoke but it was a snarky comment on Gwaines usual habits. Arthurchuckles to himself, he sees his most skilled knights just silenced by thequiet knight. What an irony , he looks up at the sky and notices the sunstaring to go under, they need to hurry up. He walks up to a nearby river, hefeels very thirsty and wants to wash his face. He takes of his cape and swordas he crouches down and takes hand full of water in his hand. He slowly washeshis face as he hears something, it sounded like a whoosh. He turns around butnothing there. " gwaine I swear if it's you I will have you hanged "Arthur growls,he turns back to the water and take hispouch to fill it up, again he hears a noise comeing from behind him. He shootsup from his crouching position and says in a threatening voice " gwaine I warned you, you will be in thestables for a week no a MOOOOOOOOOO.......AAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Arthur is suddenlygrabbed by in the air and the earth isgetting a smaller as that something is holding unto him very tightly, he looksup and screams in a high pitched voice. " A DRAGON!!!!" he screams. As you lookdown from the ground, you notice 3 very confused men staring up at Arthur withthe most comical expression. " ehm you two see that too right?" gwaine asks outloud blinking a few times. "you mean Arthur screaming like a girl, and getting kidnappedby a dragon" Leon replies rubbing his eyes to see if he was no seeing things. Perceivalswallos loudly and punches himself to see if he is not dreaming. " well thisday can't get any weirder" Gwaine mumbles pinching himself
