Re: The King and His Sorcerer, 3/3 anonymous April 29 2011, 05:06:26 UTC

I don’t want to die, said the king. He looked old, older than he was and older than he would ever be.

The sorcerer curled his fingers around the king’s, kissed his dark gold lashes.

Why? the sorcerer said, curious. Why do you fear death?

And the king said, I fear any place where you won’t be by my side.

The sorcerer did a strange thing, here. He smiled, and for a moment he looked like the sixteen-year-old boy he’d once been, a sixteen-year-old boy who’d been in the right place at the right time and met a prince, on the verge of greatness, on the verge of a history so great that it echoed throughout centuries.

The king said irritably, Why are you smiling?

And the sorcerer leaned very close and whispered this, soft as a secret:

Because this isn’t the end of our story, Arthur; we will have more lives than these, other worlds than this.

(Because, you see, the end of life isn’t death.

And the end of a story isn’t the last page of a book.)

//

And so you may say, That’s a terrible story, to have no end.

But this is what I offer: the greatest of stories have no end.

Because, you see - the king and his sorcerer have the truest of happily-ever-afters.

I-I have no words for how beautiful this is! Please deanon, author, I would love to track your work!

Wow that was really beautiful and utterly perfect. Thank-you :)

That was amazing. I loved the simplicity of it, beautiful, lyrical and gorgeous. A really wonderful story. :)

Re: The King and His Sorcerer, 3/3 anonymous April 30 2011, 18:57:01 UTC

I love the fairytale feel of this. Gorgeous.

This is very good. Glad the prompt inspired you.

I actually have tears in my eyes because of that last part. <3

Re: The King and His Sorcerer, 3/3 anonymous May 7 2011, 02:54:06 UTC

So eloquent, so sparse, so very, very elegant. This is just the most beautiful story of Merlin's love for Arthur, and his being loved in return, that I may have ever read. Thank you for this gift, dear Anon. You made me cry.

(I think your writing style is familiar..you've posted another very popular story here recently, haven't you?)
