The Destiny of two

Chapter 17 ~ Lancelot

Gaius sent Merlin and me to collect some mushrooms and herbs for some sort of experiment he was doing.

"Why does Gaius send us to do all his dirty work." I complain

"Believe me I ask myself that every day." Merlin replies

I smile at Merlin as he picks the herbs and mushrooms, I continue collecting stuff when we hear a loud cawing of something. Merlin and I stand up and look to where the sound had come from. There was a giant bird looking lion thing running straight at us. Merlin and I didn't take time to grab our basket of mushrooms and herbs we just ran.

"What the hell is that!" I shout to Merlin as we are running for our lives.

Merlin was about to answer me but he trips and falls over. I run back to help him but the creature was already right in front of us. Merlin was about to get clawed by the monster but luckily a man runs in front of Merlin and begins trying to hit the creature with his sword. While the man is fighting I pick Merlin up. After Merlin was standing I look back up to the man he gave a direct blow to the creature that should've killed it but the sword just shattered as it hit the creature. The man drops his shattered sword and runs toward us.

"Run! Run!" The man shouts.

Merlin and I turn to each other than run after the man. We run through trees and into a small clearing. We see a log up ahead. I run up the log and pull Merlin down onto the floor with me and Merlin does the same to the man. The creature jumps over the log and flies away.

"It's gone." Merlin whispers.

I look over to the man "You saved my brother's life."

The man looked really out of it I just assumed he was tired.

Merlin holds out his hand "I'm Merlin, and this is Olivia."

The man shakes Merlins hand "Lancelot,"

After Lancelot shakes Merlin's hand he falls back against the log and I'm pretty sure he fainted. I get up and crouch next to him. I look at his side.

"Merlin, he's hurt," I say pointing to the wound.

"We have to get him back to Camelot," Merlin says.

I honestly had no idea how Merlin and  I got Lancelot to Camelot. He wasn't exactly light. We got into Gaius's chambers.

"What happened?" Gaius asks.

"We ran into a creature and it almost killed Merlin but Lancelot saved him," I explain.

Merlin and I set Lancelot on the bed. Gaius sits down alongside Lancelot and examines the wound.

"Hmm, the wound itself is superficial. The fever will pass. He should be fine by the morning." Gaius says after looking at the wound.

Merlin and I decided to take Lancelot up to our room so Gaius could have his own bed. Merlin and I lay Lancelot on Merlin's bed. 

"Where are you going to sleep?" I ask 

"Don't worry Liv I'll find something. Get some rest," He smiles.

I nod and go get changed then get into bed. I woke up the next morning to find Lancelot standing and looking out the window and Merlin sitting on a chair.

"Ever since I was a child," Lancelot begins, "I've dreamed of coming here. It is my lifes ambition to join the knights of Camelot." 

I sit up "Well good thing you got injured," 

Merlin and Lancelot give me a funny look.

"No, I didn't mean that... I just meant...." I sigh "I'm going to get changed."
