Anyway please read and review
Also at the very end is a new little bit that I thought was in this chapter but it wasn't idk...

Apologies to anyone who recently started reading, I was editing the chapters and uploading them and something went wrong so all the font information was along side every line, I went through and deleted them, it was a pain but whatever.

"We have to find him." One of the knights, an older man with greying blond hair, said sternly.

"We have no idea where to look!" Replied another. "If we did we would have brought him back years ago, he's likely dead and we all know it."

"Don't say that he's a smart lad, and he wasn't exactly alone. We can find them if we look." The first man argued.

"We don't even know where to begin." The second knight huffed.

"Yes we do" Rang out another voice, but this one was calm and clear, demanding attention, everyone turned to look at the speaker

The second knight scowled, "We've heard what you think Richard, he'd be insane to go there."

The speaker looked at him calmly "Where else would he go?"

The first knight looked at everyone's grim expressions in confusion "What? Where is he?" he asked confusion filling his voice

Everyone looked at him and the speaker turned to him as he said:

"Camelot, our prince is in Camelot."

"MERLIN!"

Merlin sprinted out of Arthur's chambers a wide grin on his face. He ran through the halls dodging servants and guards. They quickly moved out of the way, everyone knew the manservant had angered (most likely by pranking) the king yet again. Some looked at him with contempt for disrespecting their king. Most just laughed or rolled their eyes.

Merlin burst through the door to Gaius's chambers making the old physician drop a potion in surprise. Seeing his ward burst through the door a wide grin on his face and his hair sticking out everywhere Gaius immediately knew what had happened and a second later his suspicions were confirmed.

"MERLIN!" Gaius recognized Arthur's voice yell Merlin's name down the hall leading to his chambers.

Merlin jumped and quickly ran for his room, "I'm not here!" He whispered frantically before tumbling up the stairs to his room and closing his door behind him. Gaius rolled his eyes in fond exasperation.

A second later a seething Arthur barged through the door. Gaius raised an eyebrow at the state of the king. He was dripping wet and his face was red with anger.

He looked at Gaius questioningly and the physician nodded his head towards Merlin's bedroom.

"MERLIN!" Arthur yelled stomping toward Merlin's bedroom door. Gaius frowned and tutted as his bottles of potions rattled precariously as Arthur stormed past. He burst through the door and Gaius heard a series of bangs and crashes before Arthur came out pulling Merlin by his ear.

"ow ow ow ow" Merlin cried as Arthur lead him out of the room with a nod at Gaius. Merlin shot a look of betrayal at Gaius and Gaius responded with an expression that said what-do-you-expect-he's-the-king. Merlin just scowled and Gaius simply shook his head and went back to work.

Five knights tore down the country road horses at full gallop and dark blue cloaks billowing out behind them.

They rode so fast and hard you would think hell itself was on their heels. Their faces were grim but their eyes seemed to sparkle with excitement.

The time had finally come; they would finally see their prince again. One of the knights scowled as he remembered why he had to leave in the first place, he shook his head and willed himself not to think about it.

They would have to ask the King of Camelot for help in both finding the lost prince and securing the kingdom again. It might be difficult because of the king's hate for magic, but they had to try. If nothing else he would help them find the prince. Hopefully.

Leon, Gwaine, Percival, and Elyan were on a patrol. Gwaine was telling yet another tavern story as the others were cursing their luck to always being put on patrol with Gwaine. Leon was about to tell Gwaine to shut up when he saw a flicker of light from the woods and heard a murmur of voices.

Leon's hand flew up in the air to signal them to stop and be quiet, he then quietly dismounted and drew his sword, the others quickly followed suit. Leon crept forward and motioned for the others to surround the camp. When he reached the edge of the camp he saw five knights in royal blue cloaks. On the cloaks, there was an image of a Dragon breathing fire, at the end of the dragon's flames, a sword seemed to be emerging. The flames parted around the sword so the sword was engulfed in flames. The entire thing was stitched in fine silver.

Leon took another step, hoping to get a better look. Stepping forward he winced as he stepped on a twig, cutting off the men's conversation.

Sir Richard froze as he heard a twig snap, then in one fluid motion he stood and drew his sword. He spun around and saw the source of the noise. He recognized the man as a Knight of Camelot from the red cape that he wore, he had shoulder length blond hair and blue-grey eyes. He was shorter than Sir Richard, not surprising seeing as not many were even close to his size. Soon three other knights emerged from the woods, surrounding the Knights of Aria. Sir Richard was surprised to see one man amongst the group who was only slightly smaller than him, from the man's expression he was equally as surprised.

The second Richard had drawn his sword so had the others. They quickly backed up into a circle protecting each other's backs, The Knights of Aria knew they could win, the Camelotians were outnumbered. Richard sheathed his sword and held his hands up in a show of peace and motioned for the others to do the same. He knew he could win, but fighting with King Arthur's Knights was a poor way to make an acquaintance.

*Leon POV*

Leon studied the five in front of him. The one who looked to be the leader stepped forward. He had sandy blond hair with streaks of grey in it. A long scar across his face and his tanned and weathered skin told him that the man had plenty of experience in a fight. He was slightly bigger than Percival, although Leon didn't even know how that was possible. He looked to be in his late 40's and had soft brown eyes. His eyes seemed haunted, showing a pain he has only seen in seasoned veterans. But they also held a look of determination.

"We do not wish to fight." He said in a low gravely voice, sheathing his sword and holding his hands in a placating gesture.

"Who are you and where are you here?" Leon asked still gripping his sword.

"We are Knights of Aria. As to why we are here?" he shrugged and looked at his companions. "We seek an audience with your king.

"Unbelievable!" Arthur exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in defeat "I put you in the stocks and you find a way to enjoy it! Only you Merlin!" Arthur looked at his manservant who stood before him he was covered in rotten vegetables (mostly tomatoes) and had a large grin on his face

He opened his mouth to give a snarky reply but was cut off by a loud knocking at the door.

"Enter!" Arthur called and a confused looking Leon stepped in.

"Sire," he said bowing to Arthur "there are five Knights waiting who have requested an audience"

"Where are they from?" Arthur asked and when Leon answered he was puzzled to see Merlin's face drain of color.

"Aria. They are Knights of Aria"
