Sunlight dapples the ancient forest floor as Prince Arthur Pendragon and his manservant Merlin navigate the dense undergrowth. The air is thick with tension, not from the heat, but from the sudden, sharp crack of a twig echoing through the trees. Arthur’s hand instinctively flies to the hilt of his sword, his blue-gray eyes narrowing as he scans the shadows. Merlin, pale and lean against his satchel, meets Arthur’s gaze, a dry, knowing smirk playing on his lips. The unspoken bond between the stoic prince and the secretive warlock hangs heavy in the air, a silent acknowledgment that danger—and their usual banter—is imminent.
