Chereads / The Adventures in Camelot / Chapter 10 - Leviathan

Chapter 10 - Leviathan

" It has been two weeks, since the incident with Twrch Trwyth, and everyone is still, shaking it off " Said Merlin.

" What about Jacob? " Said Arthur.

" I do not know how to tell you, sire, but he is in perfect health. It is a miracle really. When we brought him back to Camelot. All Lady Morgana said, was, all that Jacob needed was some rest, and nothing else"

" And what about Madoc? "

" Prince Madoc refused to let Jacob leave his side, for the first week. So much so. That Jacob actually had to sleep, in Prince Madoc's chamber. Where Madoc could keep an eye on Jacob "

" That is so like him "

The room fell silent.

" I have an idea " Said Arthur.

" You have an idea? " said Merlin

" Don't sound so surprised, Merlin "

" Forgive me sire. You may get ideas, but those ideas, are rarely good ones. Remember what happened when you killed that unicorn "

" You know Merlin. You have much nerve speaking to your King like that "

" I don't know what your talking about. I did say sire. Did i not "

Arthur just stared at Merlin, and after a few seconds, said

" We should all go on a fishing trip "

" A fishing trip? " Said Merlin confused.

" Yes. You, me, Mordred, Jacob and Madoc "

" What about Gwydre? "

" Guinevere won't allow me to take Gwydre anywhere for awhile, and that is understandable " Said Arthur, and Merlin just nodded his head.

" So where are we going, fishing? " asked Merlin.

" To the Celtic seas " Said Arthur.

" Wait.... We are going to the Celtic seas " Said Merlin a little nervous.

" Yes "

" The Celtic seas, where the Leviathan lives " Said Merlin even more nervously.

" Yes "

" You are aware, that people compare the Leviathan with the Jormungandr. Right!? " Said Merlin very nervously now.

" Merlin. It seems like you're still missing something "

" I am serious Arthur "

" And so am I "

" Arthur. The Celtic seas are very dangerous. Because of the Leviathan "

" Come now Merlin. The Leviathan is just a creature from folk tales. Maybe someone just saw a large snake, in the Celtic seas, and called it the Leviathan "

" Arthur..." but before Merlin could finish his sentence. Arthur Said " Enough. We are going " and than Arthur opened the door to his chamber, and walked out. Merlin followed from behind.

Arthur, Merlin, Madoc, Mordred, Jacob and two other knights, were now on horseback, and riding towards their ship, on the Celtic seas. After awhile, they reached the ship, and in front of them all, was Prydwen, the great ship.

Jacob got off Madoc's horse, and Mordred got off Arthur's horse, and both ran toward Prydwen. They were both now standing before Prydwen.

" Wow. So this is Prydwen. I wonder what it would look like, as a surfboard. Pretty silly. Right Jacob? " Said Mordred, and looked at Jacob.

Jacob a little confused Said ".....sure? "

Everyone was now aboard Prydwen, and set sail into the Celtic seas.

Later.

Arthur walked over to Jacob, and Said " Jacob, once again. I want to apologize for what happened. I never meant for you to get hurt "

" Please sire. It was not your fault, and besides, I am just happy that no one was hurt that day "

Arthur smiled, and patted Jacob on his head, and then walked away.

Madoc walked up to Jacob, and put his left arm, on Jacob's right shoulder.

After awhile, Prydwen, was now far into the Celtic seas.

" See Merlin. Everyone is having fun, and no Leviathan in sights " Said Arthur.

" Have you ever heard of tempting fate " Said Merlin, while walking around Prydwen nervous.

Arthur just smiled and shook his head.

Suddenly storm clouds gathered in the sky.

" It is the Leviathan "

" Shut up Merlin "

The waves started to get stronger.

" It is the Leviathan "

" Shut up Merlin "

The Leviathan then came out, from the Celtic seas, and hit Prydwen with its tail, so hard, that Prydwen went flying.

" I TOLD YOU! "

" SHUT UP MERLIN! "

Prydwen was hit so hard. That Jacob fell overboard, straight into the Celtic seas. Madoc ran to the edge of Prydwen, and was ready to jump overboard to save Jacob, but before he could. One of the knights tackled him onto the ground, and Said " You can't sire "

" Unhand me this instant. I need to save him "

The Leviathan's dragon like head, was now over Prydwen, and the Leviathan's gaze was aimed towards Madoc, but before the Leviathan could attack. The waters behind the Leviathan started to bubble, and out came two large wings, and then a dragons head, with horns at the back of the head, with large fangs, and glowing red eyes. The upper body of the dragon could now be seen. The dragon was so large and massive. That he was able to stand with both his feet, on the ocean floor, of the Celtic seas. Everyone on Prydwen was speechless, but then Arthur Said " So Merlin, it seems that the Leviathan had a friend "

Merlin just looked at Arthur.

Jacob now a dragon. Lifted his mouth towards the sky, and let out a massive roar.

His roar was so powerful. That the storm clouds, that had gathered, were now gone, and the clear sky appeared once again, and with it the sun. The sun lit down on Jacob's black scales, making them almost glow.

The Leviathan roared, and then wrapped itself around Jacob. Jacob grabbed the Leviathan's body, and then bitted into it. Then both the Leviathan and Jacob dove into the Celtic seas, and disappeared.

Everyone on Prydwen. Looked into the waters, and after a while. Jacob - now a human once again - was floating in the waters, unconscious. Madoc immediately jumped into the waters to save Jacob.

Prydwen was now back at the shore, and everyone was getting off.

Madoc carried Jacob on his back, and rushed over to his horse.

Arthur (who was now carrying Mordred on his back) said " So…. That was fun " and all Merlin had to say was " Shut up Arthur "

Which made Mordred giggle.

" Don't make me drop you " Said Arthur.

Meanwhile. Lug was in a boat on the Celtic seas, fishing.
