An Undying Truth

Starting A Journey

The feast fell silent the knights looking to Arthur for instructions. Arthur with a furrowed brow and a somehow idiotic version of a pensive look. Arthur looked up, and his eyes flashed around the room, finally landing on Merlin. The sky blue orbs beckoned Merlin, almost a regal plea. The silence ended when the prince and his servant left the room. Chatter exploded, filling the room with a sound that echoed through halls tailing the two young men headed for the prince's chambers.

"So our ensemble?" Arthur shot the question suddenly, having silently been changed into his nightclothes. Merlin looked up, "You, Me, Leon, and ..." Arthur sighed, leaning back in his chair, "I have no idea." Merlin instinctively put a hand on Arthur's arm smiling. Arthur felt the gentle touch his heart beating faster. It felt natural perfect even, but it was wrong. This type of love was wrong. He was thinking like a sodomite. He pulled his arm away, immediately regretting that course of action. Merlin looked at Arthur, not understanding the deep hurt in his heart. Merlin walked to the window.

"What about one of your new knights, Sir Galahad perhaps?" Merlin said pulling up his sleeve, the white dragon bounced out, Merlin whispered to him, "Tell my sisters, that we leave in the morning with Sirs Leon and Galahad." Arthur smiled, "Yes Galahad! Merlin inform the knights and the Amorians, we leave at dawn." Merlin nodded and slipped away. The little dragon chirped, and also scurried to complete his mission.

Arthur felt cold, very very cold. It seemed that his warm blankets could not solve this.

Elaina stared out  window when a small familiar chirping sound, entered her ear canal. She looked up and there was a familiar tiny dragon. "Lapis!" She whispered. The dragon chirped, cleared his throat, and said in a high squeaky voice, "We leave at duwan, tomorgow morging, we sirz Leon an Galliehad." Elaina smiled and growled a thanks, the tiny dragon scurried off.
