The Summoning ϟ The Flash & Merlin

Chapter 4: Prophecies and Villains

"Jesus Christ!" Kol yelled as he walked into John's room unannounced. Rose's head lifted itself off of her pillow to stare at her younger brother with half-closed eyes. With a groan, John rolled over and covered his ears with another pillow to block out Kol.

"Kol what is-oh that's where you went," Ellie said as she popped out from behind her twin standing in the doorway. "Time to get up you two. You have another day of training ahead of you!"

Rose grumbled as her head fell back down, making a plopping noise on the fluffy pillow. "Haven't you two learned about knocking? I thought you English were all about manners and crap like that."

"Just tell me you two are dressed under there so I can have some sense of sanity then."

"Honestly brother, you have a girlfriend and I don't get embarrassed walking in on you two!" Ellie said as she moved to go sit down on the couch in front of the dead fireplace. The eldest sibling moved to sit up in bed, with John moving closer to where she had been to try and catch more sleep.

"That's because you're odd, Nora."

Kol took a seat next to her as Ellie whined, "Don't call me that. You know I hate that name."

"Why?" Rose asked as she began to get out of bed. "Nora is a great name. My best friend's mother's name was Nora." Kol breathed a sigh of relief when she revealed herself to be wearing pajamas. She told her sleeping partner to get up as she put on her unicorn slippers and padded back to her room with Ellie in tow. It would take the combined effort of Parker and Shields siblings to get the blond out of bed.

The rest of the morning was spent in the dining hall for breakfast and their separate training rooms to work on their fighting skills.

After grabbing one of the picnic baskets in the kitchen, Rose had brought it and her omnibus with her to the garden. She parked herself under the tree once more, trying to keep her thoughts only on the text in front of her. As she munched on the sandwich she had pulled out of the wicker basket, her finger followed the words on the page. It seemed that the Order began not long after King Arthur's death. She shook her head at the note that King Arthur would one day return and help unite Albion, making sure to add a small note about it on a pad of paper.

"Guess I'm not the only one who took notes." Theo said, his voice followed by a soft crunch coming from above. Her eyes followed the sound and watched as he took another bite out of the apple he had in hand.

"You've read it too?"

"When they say everyone gets a copy of that," he pointed at the book as he took a seat next to her, "They mean it. No one is expected to memorize it or anything, but at least they let you know what you're getting into if you're not a Legacy."

Rose flipped through the book, her fingers skimming over the page where she had last seen that term. When Merlin had first started the Order many of the Round Table Knights had joined and so did their children. Being a Legacy was an honor, but didn't give too many advantages as Merlin had wanted to keep everyone as equal as he could so no one would feel any less a part of the mission.

"What is the mission?" she questioned, closing the book.

Theo's brows furrowed. "You don't know? I mean it is practically everywhere in that thing. Maybe you should ask the twins or your father then. Better to hear it from them if you haven't figured it out by now."

"Gee, you're such a huge help, Chipmunk." Rose's voice dripped with sarcasm.

"I will be actually," he replied. "I came out here to see when you wanted to start weapons training. You never know when you'll need to know how to swing a sword or break out of a cell without powers."
