It was an ordinary autumn afternoon, the castle was rather quiet.
Safe for the highest point of the castle, better known as Merlin's tower.
An unholy rumpus was occurring.
The legendary wizard had recently acquired a rare creature after retrieving it from someone's home.
Unfortunately as he went to show it to his student it had escaped.
But as long the two could contain it in the tower it should be-
Crash
"Boy, I told you to block off that door!"
"Hey! It was either block the door or block the window!"
Arthur raced down the stone stairs wielding a burlap sack and booked it across the corridor but it was No where to be seen.
"Did you catch it?" Merlin puffed as he appeared behind him, holding his wand in one hand and a baseball bag in the other.
"No, I was right on its heals but I lost it"
"Not an option!"
Merlin sped past Arthur who jogged to keep up.
"If that thing gets loose in London it will cause chaos" Merlin continued
"People will see rats and spiders?" Arthur guessed"surely we can contain that"
"Think bigger boy! I think the people of London has seen more to be afraid in the past few years than what creatures are crawling in their attics!"
Arthur thought back and then gasped as he remembered the events of before his time as king.
"No way!"
"Exactly!" Merlin said "Now tell your guards to block off the exits, no visitors. It'll be fine as long we can contain it!"
As they split up little did they know that a guard had already let a visitor in.
((I wanted to a starter based around Fear since Halloween is around the corner.So a monster is running around the castle, I haven't come up with a name for it but it's powers are very much like boggarts from the Harry potter series. Those of you aren't familiar with them they take the form of whatever person they run into is most frightened of. E.g. If your character is scared of clowns it would turn into a big scary clown.
So If you comment on this journal feel expect your character to run into what frightens them most.
Btw This is set back to when Arthur is thirteen but carry on with your ten year on roleplays regardless. I'm sorry about the late responses and slow replies Uni is getting absolutely crazy))
