Finally Merlin was in the throne room, behind Arthur. The knights of Camelot were standing on the two sides of the throne room. The heavy doors opened and several knights walked in. A heavy, deep cowl was pulled over their heads, leaving their faces in a deep shadow. They were wearing a muffled green and grey camouflage cloak, made of lightly woven wool, offering protection from the weather and the color made it easier for them to remain unseen in the forests surrounding the whole kingdom. They were also wearing a long sleeved, green linen shirt covered by a brown leather tunic, a light weight, soft- soled, brown leather boots, a leather gauntlet and on their belt was a double- scabbard with their throwing and saxes knives placed next to each other. They were carrying a quiver with 24 arrows on their back (with some extras in their pack) as well as a longbow. One of them had a recurve bow, showing that he was just an apprentice. Around their necks they wear a dragon on a chain, golden for the highest in rank, silver for the normal knights and bronze for the apprentices. They pulled of their cowl and bowed for the king in front of them.

Arthur looked at them and felt a mysterious aura around them, then, he shook the feeling of and started to talk.

"You wanted an audience with me?" He asked. Then, one of the knights stepped forward, he was the only one with a golden dragon and bowed again before speaking, his voice a deep singing tone.

"Yes, your majesty. My name is Alatan, the first knight. We are from Imardin, a fallen kingdom and are in search of our lost prince" Arthur looked at the knight, he was taller than the others, but had a gentle face with amber eyes and brown, short hair. The others were smaller.

"What happened to Imardin?" The youngest one, the apprentice stepped forward, forgetting to bow and said.

"A traitor killed the king and queen, our prince managed to escape and now it's time to bring him back. The situation is getting worse, the people need to pay taxes, even though they can't anymore, the food supply is small while everyone in the palace is building a feast every week. The people who can't pay need to become slaves or else they get executed" the boy's eyes looked to fill with tears.

"My parents got executed" Alatan, looked at the small boy and hugged him for a sec.

"Who are you, little one?" Arthur asked, his voice soft while he tried not to think about how the boy needed to feel.

"Léi, my lord" Léi said, looking up at Arthur who smiled at him, Léi smiled back. He has electric blue eyes and light blonde, almost white hair. He also had freckles.

"So, you want me to help you find your prince?" Arthur said and the boy nodded, the blonde, smiling knight rolling his eyes, he then whispered something in the ear of the last knight, who just rolled his eyes, he has gunmetal blue eyes and dark brown, short hair. He looked to be the most serious one.

Arthur looked at Gwaine, then the blonde one and sighed

Arthur looked at Gwaine, then the blonde one and sighed.

"Great, another one like Gwaine" Arthur mumbled, only Merlin could hear it and he started to laugh, making everyone look at him. He quickly stopped when he realised that everyone was looking at him and sighed.

Hello again, yeah, I know, I dont have readers yet, but still, hello! I will change this when I have readers, but now, hello only me! I don't know what to say, so, I just tell the names of the other two knights who still doesn't have a name. The serious one is called Faun and the blonde one is called Gregory, Greg for short (yeah, that name is from Sherlock Holmes, sorry). Well... I hope you have a nice day/night and still, if you see mistakes or want that I change something, just tell me. The picture with the eye colour is just because it can be that you don't know how it looks like, like the gunmetal blue, I didn't even know what it looked like. I will probably put pictures of the knights , but, I'm gonna try to draw everything, so, have patience with me for the pictures. Like I said, the knights would look like the ranger's from Ranger's apprentice, Will is still in the story, but, stayed in the kingdom. In the next chapter you will see Merlin's reaction to the knights. And yeah, I hope you enjoyed it.

I will also try to always answer the comments.
