Camelot, Monday Afternoon into Evening

[bitch_prince]

If the taxes hadn't brought the mood down in Camelot, then the former Crown Prince's overpowering brood certainly did. Not that Uther noticed any of this: he had ordered a banquet for the evening, to celebrate the Lady Catrina's new title, and he was generally in a splendid mood

Underneath the Castle, Afternoon

[camelotfolk]

An ancient beast laid trapped here: chained to the rock, doomed to spend the rest of his endless life in captivity. Bested by Uther, left to be a sad reminder to any who would wish to do magic in this kingdom, a warning to Druids and warlocks and witches and any other brand of magical being--

--and he was laughing his arse off.

Where Merlin was just waiting for him to finish it up. It was all well and good until someone married a troll.

Aaaany minute now.

The Great Dragon got himself under control. Eventually.

"And what do you expect me to do, young warlock?" he said. "It sounds like a-- heee-- happy marriage."

"Yes, yes. I know," Merlin grumbled. "But she's--she's ruining destiny!"

"And now we care about that, do we?" the Dragon said. "Perhaps it's Uther's destiny to wed a troll."

He clapped his wings and flew down to the next rock, still laughing. "Troll enchantments are powerful things..."

"But Arthur's is to be king, isn't it?"

"I hardly care how Uther comes to fall, as long as he does," the Dragon said, haughtily. "And you have yet to honour your promise to me."

"I will in time," Merlin promised, looking away. "But I can't allow Arthur's future to be changed by a--troll."

The Dragon snorted.

But at last he spoke honestly. "Uther must be made to cry tears of true sorrow to break the enchantment," he said.

"...that's it?"

Re: Underneath the Castle, Afternoon

[camelotfolk]

"That, as you say, is it."

The Dragon grinned.

"Do find me some details of their nuptials, will you?"

Merlin just sighed. "Well... I did take a few pictures." FOR POSTERITY.

"Oh, good!"

An ancient lizard should not sound that delighted by a wedding.
