Down below Merlin stood with Galahad, Galapas, Sir Lauriston du Lac, Kraak and Grim as the dark shapes of the Dark Lord’s Dark Forces swept towards them in what looked to be a never ending Tide of Evil that wanted only to smash and destroy, to burn and to kill.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

CAMELOT

The four horseman were unrelenting as they rode backwards and forwards over the skies of Camelot.

Fire flew from them, raining down onto the already burning houses and streets of King Uther Pendragon’s capital.

Wherever the fire and brimstone struck there were instant, leaping infernos. It seemed to be impossible to dowse the flames whether they be on houses, livestock or men.

This was the Fire of the Dark and it did not burn as an ordinary fire. It carried with it the Dark Magic of the Dark Lord and its purpose was to destroy and harm all that might stand in its way and it would not be denied.

Equally unnerving to the inhabitants of Camelot was the strange high-pitched ‘chittering’ sounds that came from the four Riders of the Dark. It was an alien keening that could come from no human throat but then these horseman were not human.

Once they had been so, but the Evil and the Dark had entered into them long ago so that no trace of humanity lay there for such it is with all who become the servants of the Dark Magic.

Camelot’s knights and inhabitants were everywhere trying in desperation to dowse the flames that threatened to destroy the whole of their city but it was a hopeless task.

Even so they could not stand by and see Camelot being burnt out of existence. They were determined to stand against these Forces of the Dark Lord and defend their king and their land to the very last breath.

Now the Storm Clouds of the Dark had also crossed the boundaries of Avalon and hung ominously in Camelot’s skies.

Dark shapes could be seen moving high over Avalon as the clouds rolled and thundered across the land that they had coveted for so long. Lightning flashed down to join the Inferno of the Dark and add yet more death and heartbreak to the men, women and children of Camelot.

By now the flames and smoke that threatened to engulf Camelot and to raze it to the ground could be seen many leagues away. It was a sight such as no man had seen before.

Over and above this rode the Four Riders of the Dark, the Pale Riders. They relished every death, every destruction and every pain of the good men and women of Camelot who they sought to burn from the very Face of the Earth in the Name of their Master, the Dark Lord.

And he, the Great Lord of the Dark Magic, stood again before the Gates of the Underworld where his Army of the Dead had been imprisoned for Time beyond Time.

He could see that the Iron Gates that had held back his devils and demons for so long were now warping and bending and, very soon, they would give way completely.
