WESTERN ISLES - SHOP
[Knight Valiant enters a shady shop.]
VALIANT: I understand you have a shield for me.
"He really didn't live up to his name, did he?" Gwen whispered to Athena.
"Definitely."
[The merchant, Devlin, motions for him to come behind the counter.]
DEVLIN: With your swordcraft and this shield, I guarantee you will win.
VALIANT: Show me how it works.
DEVLIN: Certainly. Tharanai im bis entra ofra honra stolle.
[Snakes slither out of the shield.]
"I could use that on Umbitch," Theo muttered.
Enzo didn't disagree with him.
DEVLIN: When you're competing in the tournament, you pin your opponent under the shield, a snake strikes. Your opponent will be paralysed.
[Devlin hands him the shield.]
DEVLIN: The snakes are now under your command. They will do anything that you tell them to do.
VALIANT: Anything?
DEVLIN: Just say the word.
[They both laugh darkly.]
VALIANT: Kill him.
"Ok, that was savage."
[A snake strikes Devlin. Valiant rides for Camelot and places his helmet and seal on the registration table.]
VALIANT: Knight Valiant of the Western Isles. I'm here for the tournament.
STEWARD: Welcome to Camelot.

OUTSIDE CASTLE RAMPARTS
[Arthur training in his standard armour sans helmet. Merlin wearing armour with a helmet and shield.]
ARTHUR: Ready?
MERLIN: Would it make any difference if I said no?
ARTHUR: Not really.
A few students snort.
[Merlin draws his sword. Arthur attacks.]
ARTHUR: Body. Shield. Body. Shield.
MERLIN: Shield.
ARTHUR: Head.
MERLIN: Head? Ow.
ARTHUR: Come on, Merlin. You're not even trying.
[Arthur tags Merlin in the back.]
MERLIN: I know. Ah.
ARTHUR: Once more.
MERLIN: Oh, no.
ARTHUR: To the left. To the right. And left. Head.
"At least Merlin was sort of warned," Kiko whispered.
MERLIN: Ow!
ARTHUR: Come on, Merlin! I've got a tournament to win.
MERLIN: Can we stop now, please? Ow! Shield. Body.
ARTHUR: Shield.
MERLIN: Shield. Ah.
[Arthur hits him in the head.]
MERLIN: Ow.
"I take it back."
[Merlin topples over backwards and his helmet rolls off.]
ARTHUR: You're braver than you look. Most servants collapse after the first blow.
MERLIN: That's because I was brought up with Athena. Who liked to hit me with a wooden toy sword. Every day. Is it over?
