Merlin Advent #2
It had been snowing heavily for days now, and Merlin shivered as he walked across the courtyard. He had barely begun his chores, and his fingers and toes were already freezing. He still had to shine Arthur's armor, though why he needed armor in this weather, he didn't know. A wicked gleam suddenly came into his eyes, as he whispered an incantation. He sighed happily, as he felt instantly warmed. It was on these kinda old days, that he really loved having magic, even though he knew he wasn't supposed to use it for frivolous things such as these. He made his way past Gwen and Her lady Morgana, bundled up warmly, building a snowman. They were chattering gaily, and their voices carried on the cold air towards him. He made his way over to the armor room, bumping into Gawain as he hurried through the door. "watch where you're going Merlin" he said, not really meaning any of it. He didn't wait for a response, bit hurried on his way. Merlin made his way to the store cupboard, and took out some Polish, and a rag. Then he made his way to Arthur's armor. He reached out to pick it up, but before he could grasp it, it moved, seemingly by itself. Merlin narrowed his eyes, add he began to Chase it around the room, crashing into several other pieces as he did. Though he wasn't aware of the noise, it brought Arthur, and several knights flying through the door. Suddenly, Arthur's armor became limp and feel to the ground with a huge crash. "Merlin! When will you learn to take your duties seriously, and stop messing around?" Arthur shouted. Merlin looked from Arthur, to the armor, dumbfounded, and opened his mouth, just about to explain, when Arthur turned and left the room, "save your excuses, Merlin! I want that armor, and all the others that you were playing around with, shining by the time I come back!" Merlin watched him leave, wondering how on earth that had happened....
