Merlin remembered standing, spear in hand, while Kilgharrah knelt with head bowed. “Is there no end of surprises with you? What did you do?” You said I …” He broke off at the almost embarrassed look on Merlin’s face. He had assumed it was dead or at least gone for good after the fight for Camelot. Then it occurred to him that the same dragon that had escaped its confinement and attacked Camelot had come at Merlin’s call and helped to heal Arthur in the White Mountains. Is there some reason you think I cannot defeat this one as well?” To Bedwyr the king commanded, “Tell me when the knights are assembled.” As soon as the room was empty except for himself and Merlin, Arthur controlled his irritation enough to ask, “By all accounts this dragon is much smaller than the great dragon which attacked Camelot. He disguised his bark of laughter as a cough. Leon was unfailingly horrified when the king’s manservant insulted his king like that. “Just that you were years younger then, sire. Merlin rolled his eyes, uncaring if Arthur saw him do it. “I defeated the great dragon when it attacked Camelot. “Perhaps it would be best if you remained in Camelot. “Sire,” Leon hesitated, not wanting to make it sound as though he thought the king was unfit to battle a dragon. I will ask for volunteers to accompany me.” Once the council was dismissed he turned to Bedwyr. In a way he was glad to give them time to debate the issue privately while he did not have to sit through tedious hours of talk going around in circles repeatedly. “If we did not persecute these people they would have no reason to support that madwoman.”Īrthur knew the council meeting would have to wait. “The laws against magic give Morgana allies,” Ector pointed out. “Yet another reason that sorcery is outlawed – that witch and her dragon!” Tudwal took the opportunity to add to the debate. “She is probably sending it out without leaving the stronghold herself.” And the dragon has attacked different towns each night, all within striking distance of her citadel,” Bedwyr replied. “None of the reports indicate that she was there. Definitely the white dragon that was with Morgana’s army at the last battle.” It was a dragon which attacked the town of Elmet on the northern border. How can we be certain you are not practising the black arts even now?”Īt that moment they were interrupted by the arrival of Sir Bedwyr.
“I think we know why you would take that position. “Because the laws against magic are unjust,” Gaius stated.Īguisel looked at him derisively. “Then why not simply issue him a pardon for his crimes? Why change the laws?” Aguisel put in. “Without the assistance of that sorcerer we would have lost the battle.” “Most of you are not warriors, but I was with the army in the White Mountains,” Ector continued. “I think I know what this is about.”Īrthur looked at him in surprise. Lord Ector held up his hands to get their attention. After a moment of stunned silence several people started protesting loudly. King Arthur was prepared for a strong reaction from the Council when he outlined his plans for the change in laws.
