Fate/Canon

Chapter 28: ch 28



After the 5 knights arrived Taylor went on his way to the room inside the citadel that he had bought for himself many years ago.

Upon entering he noticed that it was all but destroyed, burn marks everywhere destroyed furniture.

" Oh dear, it seems I need to do some Spring cleaning."

Within moments the room became pristine As if the completely destroyed room before was an illusion.

Taylor then opened the door and asked them to procure some materials so Taylor can build all new Furniture,tables and wardrobes.

Initially, the Knights disagreed as they were to fulfil their orders to keep watch on Taylor, but after Taylor explained that even if all five remain there if Taylor planed to get away even 10,000 soldiers and knights could not stop him.

And only 2 was need to be there so the other three could go grab the materials he needs Taylor also said that any money left over from it they could keep.

This was enough for them, so 3 knights went off to procure the materials he needed while the other 2 stood guard his room while also keeping an eye on him.

After a while the 3 knights return with all the materials he requested, Taylor thanked them and gave them the change to be divided up among them.

First Taylor made a couple of pillows using some cloth, thread and feathers. While not as comfortable as pillows would be in the future could be considered one of the few luxuries in the current time.

Then he made a mattress, followed by a bedframe with floor to wall pillars.

Then just before starting on the table and chairs Taylor felt a surge of magic, looking outside the window he realised how late at night it had gotten.

" It seems that Cedric has still gotten possessed by Cornelius sigan."

Although the prospect of fighting the sorcerer that build the Camelot citadel in this world tempted Taylor to no end using his full capacity with the magic of this world.

But Merlin can handle it on his own, unless he chooses to ask him for help instead of the great Dragon.

But nevertheless Taylor continued by build a few chairs.

Using magic he was able to cut all the wood to the necessary size without losing the excess, though he would still use hand tools to make many of the necessary adjustments for joinery.

After finishing the 3rd chair Taylor heard a crow's call and someone chanting a magic incantation.

And once Taylor finally finished the 4th chair the sound of Screaming and panic could be heard.

"*sigh*"

Taylor got up and walked over to the window.

Looking out Taylor saw many gargoyles attacking some of the wealthy citizens as well as guards attempting to fight them.

But the screams were loudest from the lower town.

" decisions, decisions… should I get involved or let Merlin handle it like I know he can?"

But before he could make a decision the doors to his room burst open and Uther Followed by Arther and the 5 knights that have been standing guard outside his room.

" Are you causing all this madness." Uther asked with vitriol and his voice.

" Ok Uther which do you think is more likely to be true? I arrive today, inform you that I plan to stay here for a couple of years and then lunch gargoyles to attack the city on the very same night of my arrival."

"Or. Maybe the something that was in the grave of a sorcerer is the reason this is happening?" Taylor then waited for an answer.

Before Uther could give an answer Arther spoke up.

" That shouldn't be possible, The entrance is locked up tight and under constant guard."

Taylor sighed.

" let's see, if someone uses a sleeping gas to knock out the guards, and then I've stolen the keys beforehand or is a skilled lock picker would they not then be able to steal something from that tomb that may be causing this?"

The look of realisation could be seen on their face and Arther left to check on the key to make sure it hasn't been stolen.

Uther then left quickly after, and then I return to standing outside.

Once Taylor finished with the table he then decided to go for a walk to get the old blood flowing.

Obviously the 5 knights followed him. As they walked the castle kept shaking and many cracks could be seen.

Taylor got fed up and cast a chain reaction spell to destroy all the gargoyles that were attacking.

Afterwards no sound was heard.

" Finally some peace sound quiet." Said Taylor

After Taylor said that the knights who were about to speak wisely decided not to.

Just as they continued on a yell could be hard, " Sorcerer who has destroyed my gargles come out and face me."

Taylor ignored these words and continued on his way.

But Cornelius sigan after feeling as though he was ignored brought forth more gargoyles to increase the velocity of his attack.

Soon Taylor arrived in an area of the castle that had little decoration except for a spiral staircase, and an archway to walk-through.

With his identity in this world he knew that Uthers wife Ygraine used to live in this wing of the castle before they were officially married.

(A.N: Yes in this world Ygrain is spelled with a y and not an i.)

So Taylor keeping up his identity in this world asked, " Who lives here now, or has it just been left abandoned?"

One of the knights replied, " Currently only the lady Morgana lives here, The rest are mostly used as guestrooms, for when important guests arrive."

"Oh, so the good lady Morgana lives here. Well I reckon that she might be feeling a little scared with all the sounds of battle outside, I shall go and keep her company."

" Mister the King will most certainly not approve of you being near his ward at least not without being highly supervised."

" Well then why don't 3 of you stand guard outside, and 2 others follow me in making sure I do no wrong towards her."

" But remember, we will be entering a lady's room, so whichever of you boys decide to follow me in don't forget that she may very well be in her night dress."

All 5 knights had a shared thought, ' If you know that why on earth are you going to enter?' But they wisely decided not to voice this thought.

Going up the spiral stairs and a short walk after Taylor and the 5 knights arrive in front of Morgana's bedroom door.

*knock* * knock* * knock*

" Who is it?" A shaky voice asked from inside the room, shaking not from fear but from loneliness, something noticeable to those who know the difference.

Recognising the voice as Morgana's Taylor replied.

" Lady Morgana it is Taylor, I felt that you might currently be alone so I came over in hopes of granting you some reassuring company. Would you approve of my entry, and to give you some more peace of mind There are currently five knights here to also keep an eye on me."

Remaining quiet Taylor waited for Morgana's decision.

Meanwhile Morgana couldn't make a decision, while she would absolutely love to have some company, he is a complete stranger to her and they don't know each other from her point of view.

But knowing that there was a handful of knights assigned to keep an eye on him did indeed give her a sense of peace, so she made her decision.

" You may enter."

After receiving confirmation Taylor opened the door and walked in, followed by 2 of the older knights while the remaining 3 stood guard outside.

Upon entering Taylor came face-to-face with a folding screen, after closing it, Taylor could see Morgana in sitting up in her bed.

Walking closer Taylor noticed a seat in front of a mirror opposite the bed, Taylor asked Morgana if she's fine with him moving it over and she said it was fine.

Taylor pulled up the chair and sat down still a comfortable distance away from the bed and the 2 knights stood a short distance away to give the two of them some space but also keep an eye on Taylor.

" So considering that we don't know much about each other, how about some proper introductions? I'll even go first." Taylor asked.

Morgana agreed having Taylor go first, Taylor introduce himself and some interesting things he experienced, he talked about his travels in this world, how he went to the kingdom of Mercia to the land of Gaul and to many other lands.

Then Morgana properly introduced herself, said that her father was Gorlois one of Uther's knights whom died in battle which led to Uther taking her under his care.

Normally one would think that talking about this would be a very private thing, But not so for Morgana this was pretty open knowledge for most people, just like how it was open knowledge that Taylor travelled due to the fact there would always be reports made when he was spotted.

While Taylor and Morgana talked Taylor felt a powerful sealing spell being cast.

' It seems that Merlin has gone to the great dragon for help, which is arguably quite good for cornelius as I would've taught him a spell to destroy his soul instead of sealing it.'

Taylor and Morgana ended up talking for about 1 and a half hours Taylor said that it was about time for him to go to his room, Morgana on her end was surprised that just how fast the time went, she truly enjoyed taking to him.

But before going Taylor gave her a gift, a necklace that when worn would give her happy dreams and stop and nightmares unless they're genuine visions of the future.

Morgana had been informed of this, not about the visions of the future but as if it was a dream catcher, although she didn't know if this was true or not, she chose to trust him.

And while Morgana did have a seer's talent most of her bad dreams came less from visions of the future and more like her brain having developed a habit because many of her future visions could indeed be considered bad, she started just having bad dreams as the default.

"See you later Lady Morgana." Taylor said as he closed the door but before it closed fully he heard her say, " you can just call me Morgana."

" Okay Morgana, sweet dreams." And with that he closed the door fully.
