Camelot, Saturday

The guards of Camelot were up well and early tonight. This, as became immediately apparent to the villagers, would not be one of the peaceful days.

"Search the stables!" Arthur bellowed, stomping across the roads within the city walls as if he owned the place, which technically, it did. "You, check the kitchens. And you, go see about the guards above the South Gate!"

Homes were rifled through, shops were poked at, people were questioned. And all barely after the first rooster had crowed, at that. Whatever was happening, it was obviously big.

Gaius's Chambers, Noon

Gaius had had to reassure Gwen that Merlin was a quick rider; he would surely make it to the northern borders before any of Arthur's men could reach him. With a sigh, he finally managed to drag his water in through the doors of his chamber, and set it down on the table.

He walked up to the small barrel of grain at the back of his workshop, and knocked on it. Lightly.

The lid shot up and out of the grain, Merlin came gasping for air. "Let's never do that again, yeah?"

"Hopefully not," Gaius said, stepping aside so he could get out. "They've picked up the trail that we left, but it won't fool them for long."

"Then we'll just have to work quickly, won't we?"

Gaius nodded quickly, and glanced towards the door. "You must get to the Lady Catrina's chambers, and see what you can find," he advised. "But be careful. The guards are still looking for you."
