Light in the Darkness

A/N- I thought it was time for another Merlin fan fic since I as bored. Artie is King but he sometimes hangs out at Worchester.

It was a normal day at Worchester. Snowgre sighed as he got up.

He'd been going to Worchester since Shrek thought it was a good idea. He got dressed in punk rock clothes, a Green Day t shirt, a leather jacket and ripped up jeans.

He was also wearing a Sand Village head band and gloves.

He knew this would get him in trouble but he didn't want to wear the jersey that the other students wore.

He then walked to the canteen. He got cereal, juice, eggs and bacon.

He then saw the coffee machine. He then poured a cup of black coffee.

Artie smiled as he sat beside him at a table.

"Merlin's going to be mad. You know how he feels about students having coffee." He told him.

Snowgre sighed as he walked to Merlin's class. He'd been up doing his Health assignment.

Lance then tripped him up as Merlin was casting a spell.

Merlin was nervous as Snowgre was on the floor.

"Lance come with me! We're going to Pynchley." He told the jock.

Artie then helped Snowgre up.

"Please let him be okay.

Lance was a loser to do that." He thought as he helped him to the infirmary.

But Merlin wasn't seeing well. That night he couldn't see in the dark and he had to put lights on.

But he also couldn't see sides.

"What happened to my sight? Maybe I should get it checked out." He thought as he saw Artie enter his room.

Artie had changed a lot since his last visit. The young King saw sadness in Merlin's eyes.

"You okay?" he asked him. He nodded.

"No. My sight is playing up. I think I might need it checked out." he said softly.

Artie understood. He watched as he vanished. Artie hoped he'd be alright.

But somebody was watching Artie as he was with Snowgre. He was fine after what happened to him eariler.

"Where's Merlin?" he asked.

"He wasn't feeling so good so he went to see a doctor." he answered.

The person watching him was an old friend of Merlin's.

She was an old student who'd shown promise until she turned evil and power hungry.

"Soon the whole kingdom will be mine!" she told herself.

Merlin was drinking brandy as he sat in his bunk in the ship. He'd decided to go back to Far, Far Away with Artie.

He was hiding something from Artie.

It was a symbol cane. The doctor had told him he had Night Blindess and Tunnel Vision but he was slowly going blind.

This made him depressed as he drank more. He felt useless being half blind and if Shrek and the others found out, they'd think the same thing too.

Artie had seen it but pretended not to ask so he wouldn't offend the elder wizard.

He'd already told Shrek this on his cell phone. He had an idea as Fiona disappeared using magic...

Carley was nervous as the plane landed at Maryland Airport. She was going to live there with Leah and her family and attend high school.

She was disabled and carried a symbol cane ecause she was half blind because of a rare syndrome.

Leah could tell she was nervous by seeing the fear in her eyes.

"Don't worry. You're gonna love it here!" Leah reassured her. A smile crissed her face at that.

Fiona watched as the Robert's left the aiport in their family car. She followed them trying not to draw attention to herself.

She knew Carley and Leah could help them with whoever was attempting to take over the kingdom but Shrek had told her he had a secret mission for Carley but would reveal it when they got to the swamp.

Carley was settling into the spare room and had set out her things to make it feel like home.

Leah was in her room talking to Fiona.

She'd told Leah that she needed her and Carley's help again.

"Let me go get her." Leah told her as she left. A few minutes later she came back followed by Carley.

Carley smiled seeing Fiona. "We're sorry we haven't returned. We're ready to help!" Carley told her.

"That's good. I know you've been busy and so does Shrek and the others. We were missing you guys." Fiona replied as they disappeared using the portal she'd summoned...
