Citizens of Splendor, or visitors or whatever you prefer to call yourselves. [Someone's sounding very official.]

Some may know me but to those who don't, I'm prince Arthur of Camelot. Right now I am looking for my father, Uther Pendragon. Find him and you'll be rewarded.

[He's about to stop talking now but-]... And before I forget, my servant is

[It takes him a few long minutes, before he finally decides to respond.]

Hello Arthur. How's the weather?

[polishmyarmour]

[Arthur isn't too surprised to hear him. After all Merlin tends to pop out of nowhere a lot.]

I'll give you two minutes time to come up with a good explanation of this. It better be good.

[brightersided]

[In fact, he's right behind you! No, that's a joke, I swear.]

Explanation for what exactly? Why we're all here? As if I possibly had anything to do with something this big!

[That little bit of doubt in his voice? Yeah, he's just going to hide that.]

I assume you've found Gwen.

[polishmyarmour]

Explanation for why you are there and not here. [Arthur's hungry and his clothes need washing.]

Yes, I found her. [Not thanks to you!] Any sign of my father?

[brightersided]

I don't know where your here is. [Secret: Merlin loves that he doesn't.]

And I haven't seen the King. We probably would have heard from him already, don't you think?

[polishmyarmour]

[He does sound way too happy about it.] I'm at the Murlberry Castle and if you don't want to end up as rat food I suggest you get here as soon as possible.

As for father, someone might have taken his hostage. I wouldn't doubt it since I have ran into some suspicious folk already.

[brightersided]

I'm in Alpha district. They gave me a key...

[Implying someone wants him to stay in Alpha. Really, it looks like a card, but someone said it was a key.]

Did you? What was wrong with them?

[polishmyarmour]

Everyone has a key.

They were clearly using magic. You mean to say you haven't seen anyone suspicious? There's sorcery everywhere I go.

[polishmyarmour]

Tiny men with weird ears, children with gray hair...

[brightersided]

Oh.

[Almost forgot we were speaking Arthur here.]

I've seen people like that, but all the ones I met were friendly...

[He's bracing himself for the whole 'Magic is evil, Gray hair & Weird ears are evil' talk.]

[polishmyarmour]

[You totally make him sound like a racist.] If they were so friendly why don't you invite them over for dinner, Merlin? Oh wait- I bet you did already!

[polishmyarmour]

Don't be so reckless! You have to watch your back, Merlin. Who knows what kind of a place this really is.

[brightersided]

I was thinking about it, yeah. [Merlin is getting a little defensive against racist Arthur.]

[But he does have a point...]

A lot of the people here seem just as lost as us. I don't think they caused this.

[polishmyarmour]

If Gaius was here he might have some kind of an idea. He isn't here, is he?

[brightersided]

No.

Not that I've heard. Only you and Gwen...

The city said they were looking for a way to get us home too.

[polishmyarmour]

They are probably lying. Or not.

It doesn't matter. You and I are going to look into this anyway.
