It was Merlin's last day in the town of ealdor before he was off to help his fellow soldiers over in France. He had many goodbyes to make. His mother, will, old man Simmons (hahaha as if) Mrs burton the lady next door, her husband, all the children, his neighbours and

Freya.

he was going to miss freya, the second most, right after his mother of course, because to him, she was one of the few reasons he loved life. She was friendly to everyone she met, smiled constantly, was as pretty as the sun and as pure as a white rose and merlin was completely smitten. But, he wouldn't say it to her, it would ruin their friendship because there was no way she would love him back, right?

As the sun stretched over the hills, merlin set off, determined to finish his task before sundown.
