Summary: As Arthur takes a careful step forward, sword drawn, the dragon draws its head closer to its body. Its eyes are flitting around restlessly, shifting from one Knight to another — from one sword or lance to the other. It shies away from him, tries to take a few steps back, but it hits a wall of trees and shrubs and is forced to stop.

“Stand your ground,” Arthur commands, not once taking his eyes off the dragon. He moves in even closer, goading the creature into attacking him. He can hear Leon restlessly moving from one foot to another, ready to jump in at the first sign that something is about to go wrong, but he needs not worry. This isn’t the first time Arthur’s faced off against a dragon, and he has no intention of it being his last.

Author's Notes: I'd like to thank LFB72 for providing me with such good prompts. It was so hard to choose which one to write the fic for! I hope you enjoy this!
