The Santa Sorcerer
Arthur: „Merlin, stay behind! This guy reminds me suspiciously of the sorcerer who killed my father.“
Hey you, declare yourself. Who are you, what are you doing here and what is that you are hiding behind your back?“
Santa: „Ho, ho, ho, child. Sheathe that sword. You would not like to harm the Santa Claus bringing presents for all the children in the world?“
Arthur: „I knew it! You are a wizard. No one can bring presents to all children of the world without any kind of magic. …… Wait, did you just call me a child?“
Santa: „Of course I was, small one. So, let me see, do I have a present for you? No? How is that possible? Wait, where is my book. You are a nasty one, right? No presents for the lout, that is!“
Arthur: „ What are you talking about? Of course I am not nasty and am surely no child, mind you. I am Arthur Pendragon, Prince of Camelot , and if you are going to give these …. presents….. to the children it is my duty to inspect them. Step asside.“
Santa: „Ho, ho, ho, I see. Of course Prince Prat Dragon.„
Arthur: „Merlin, you take that red thing. That is really looking dangerous. I´ll protect you if needed.
I take this pony - looking if it is tame enough for children.“
Merlin: „You must be kidding. Why do I have to test the most perilous looking one. You are the hero knight after all?“
Arthur:“ Shut up, Merlin! You are definitely not strong enough to give me a hand should I have an accident with that. Not that I would have one.“
Arthur: „Merlin, if you dare say only one word about this I will have your head!
I will never hear the end of it. Especially from Gwaine....“.
Merlin: „ Of course Mylord.“
Arthur: „Well, sorcerer. These gifts seem to be Ok, so I will let you get away with it this once. But there is a small price to pay.....“
After Arthur decided, that no danger was coming from the strange belongings of the bearded sorcerer, he insisted to collect his toll share and kept the black-white-globe. He explained to Merlin that it would be a formidable new training tool for his knights - nothing to play with. Of course.
