Also known as the sword of Plot development....
A messenger seraph was watching the forest in a vain attempt to stop the Discovery.
however, He knew that he failed. he flew back and awaited his punishment.
"Screamer, You have failed, how?" Sakaar Bellowed, his face becoming red with anger.
Screamer stood there, shuffling his feet. "...He was there too quick like he was following something"
within an instant, the poor seraph's head was rolling on the floor.
the Magi were still chanting a dark chorus. "soon My lord... Soon you shall be free"
I was currently brushing off dust and debris of my body. "Thats the last time I pick up a seemingly innocent book" I complained to no one in particular. I picked up the book again, only to find a ghostly apparition in front of me.
I looked the apparition over. "Okay" I dropped the book, and the apparition was gone. Picking up the book, i heard it speak.
"are you quite finished?" the being asked seemingly annoyed.
"yes thank you" I looked over the spirit in front of me.
The spirit then simply smiled. "You know, of all the descendants, I'm quite surprised it was you who found the book"
I blinked, crashing my train of thought. "what?"
Thats when the ghost face-palmed. "you don't know?... Arthur Pendragon is your... hmm.... wow...thats alot of greats..."
"huh... wait, so that means"
"Merlin, at your service" the Ghost identified itself.
I watched as he floated down a corridor. "well aren't you coming?"
I shrugged my shoulders and followed.
"so.. what was Arthur like?" I asked, expecting the usual he was a great man bullshit.
"in two words? insufferable douche" Merlin chuckled.
I looked over to Merlin. "seriously?"
"yeah, but his heart was in the right place though" He replied.
"ahh there it is, See that sword?"
I looked over to the sword he was talking about. "oh man is that Excalibur?"
"call it what you want, the name hasn't got a meaning"
"well, Mr Stabby it is" I then watched as the apparition began to literally laugh its head off.
"what?"
"you're calling a blessed blade Mr Stabby?"
"what would you prefer?"
Merlin looked at me for a moment, then looked at the blade currently still waiting for release.
"hmm...well...Pendragon?"
"In honor of my... grandfather" I smiled. Merlin pointed over to a chest.
"there should be a scabbard and"
"Fuck shields" I grinned triumphantly.
Twilight and the others had the bright idea of following Alan into the Everfree forest.
Coming nearer to the Castle, they had noticed the hole in the ground.
"Come on guys, he could be down there" Twilight jumped down.
the others looked slightly confused. "Well, lets get goin' everyone" Applejack jumped down after her.
Rainbow and Fluttershy flew after them. "I do hope he's alright"
Twilight could see the faint glow of light leading down a tunnel. "This way, i can just here him talking to..."
"A bag for the book"
Merlin finished his sentence. "So Merlin, anyway out of here?"
"back the way you came" I then turned around and saw Twilight and the others standing there.
Twilight was confused, "Ghost... how?"
I simply tapped the book. "explanations later"
They all watched as I grabbed the sword, And promptly pulled it out.
"well, looks like I'm not needed anymore, Good Luck, descendant of Pendragon" Merlin vanished.
"lets get out of here guys, I have a feeling Celestia will want to here about this" I grinned as we left the way we came.
A chill went up my spin as i opted to climb up the wall.
I shrugged it off, putting it down to the cold air.
Little did I know, I was being watched from afar.
