Time of day: Late Afternoon
Timeline: Merlins second week of servitude.....
It had been Two weeks sense Merlin was given the greatest honer a peasant could have, some people thought. Merlin thought that being Arthurs man servant was actually the worst punishment anyone could of given him. He didn't ask to become some prats man servant, he was just following his duty of protecting Arthur. Why should he be punished for that? So far Arthur has made him clean his room, polish his armor numerous times, and he has used him as a target for his archery. Merlin hasn't been able to go towards the cross bows sense.
Merlin was finally able to slip away from Arthur for a couple of hours. He had been walking through the forest for about an hour, when he at last, made it to the place where he first saw Camelot. It was spectacular, Tendrils of smoke curled up into the sky from all over Camelot, and you could just see the people walking around the streets going from stall to stall, feeling safe, and trusting their great king. Merlin almost felt jealous, they didn't have a great destiny, that if failed all of Albion would perish. And they didn't have to be man servant to a prat like Arthur. With a sigh he decided to head back to Camelot, and face Arthur. Hopefully he had missed training.
