Though he was not meant to use magic he knew a great deal thanks to hours of time with Merlin and the others in the kingdom who understood it "Yes, My Lord. I will gladly help you learn magic. I may not be the best at it but I will teach you all I know.â€ In reality he was pretty damn good at it despite his true talents being for blades and shields and martial arts. â€œI am glad you wish to help people, its one of the reasons you are able to weild me. You are strong and talented with a quick and ready to help mindstead which matches to me perfectly. You be the brains and I will be the muscle to back you up.â€ He smiled pleased with how he said that. He listened to the question, "Controlled...like by magic?" Ex smiled at this â€œYes Your Highness, I will have no way to deny anything you command of me should you make it an official order directed to me or you say it while holding my hilt or blade. He smiled happily enjoying this new chance to take to something other then water that was always going on and on about the rain cheating on the sky with the groundâ€¦<br/><br/>Ex stood staring at the lad with wide eyesâ€¦ he just.. what he had said about Ex being a perfectâ€¦ his King had always said that to him trying to get him to agree, which he never would. Ex was proud to be a legendary sword of awe and wonder. It gave him pride to give power ad pride to his beloved king. His mind wondered to their nightly walks and converstationsâ€¦ he missed his king with a passion. "There is a time to fight and there is a time to defend...you have to learn when each is needed and when to apply both...â€ Ex chuckled some, â€œA very destant grandpa if that is trueâ€¦â€ he laughed hard with a large smile. He was seeing so much of his lover in this boy. He shook his head and earased the thoughts from his mind.<br/><br/>Ex went through his process of showing off and showing the power that Niel now or at least should he choose be in complete control over. He smiled and danced about with his moves fluid like water and pure as stars, yet deadly as fire and stronger then a mountain. He replaced his weapons and watched Niel walk to the stone. A chill ran down his spine as he was taken into the males hand. â€œMmmmmmâ€¦â€ he let the sound slip through his lips before he blinked and looked to the boy holding him. The blade in nielâ€™s hand would instantly rust and look comepletely uselessâ€¦ â€œThe mark of Excalibur is not one made by that sword but instead the mark of your mind and my actions. The one you hold seems rusty and wouldnâ€™t cut a piece of rice paper while it were wet. Yet, that serves a purpose. As a powerful sword and weapon I donâ€™t like people touching me and that keeps them from wanting me or trying to put their grubby nasty hands on meâ€¦â€ Ex shutteredâ€¦ he hated people touching him outside of his master, it made him feel vile and unclean. Which unless it was blood was unexseptable. He walked to Niel and smiled taking a knee, his hand crossed over his heart and head bowed low â€œKing Niel as your sword and shield Excailbur I am at your beck and call to do whatever it is that you shall ask of me to doâ€¦â€ he stood once permitted.<br/><br/>"Though...now we gotta find our way out of here. I could've sword the city was in that direction but I feel very turned around." Ex smirked seeing his chance to show off his talents and just what he had to offer. His eyes looked up at the sky a finger tracing the path of the sun as it rose then he turned and pointed as the wind blew his nose sniffing some softly. â€œThat wayâ€¦ is the direction in which you came from I believe a village is that way My King..â€ he smiled looking to the Northwest direction. â€œI shall follow you to the ends of the earth and back My Lord.â€ He smiled walking behind Niel as they began their lives together. His hands behind his head as he hummed softly his lips muttering the words softly he and his king use to sing:<br/><object height="360" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Tpjzc2aOEOs"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/><embed height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/Tpjzc2aOEOs" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" wmode="transparent"/></object>
