"What are we doing again?" Merlin asked for the fifth time in that day. "We are looking for the druids, Merlin. If you ask again we'll make it a hunting trip, and you'll he the hunted." Arthur joked looking back at Merlin who was trailing behind with his horse. The rest of the knights laughed. "Oh cheer up Merlin!" Gwaine called back to Merlin/ he forced a laughed, he was never truly comfortable with the mission. "Arthur we should set up camp." Leon said looking up at the sky. The sun was setting below the tips of the white mountains. "Fine." Arthur said reluctantly as he dismounted his horse. "Merlin go gather firewood." Arthur ordered as the knights started to set up camp. Merlin sighed and dismounted. He started to walk away before calling back to the group. "If I'm not back by dark don't worry about me I'll just be taking in the view. Smelling the roses. Getting myself killed. So you don't worry!" Merlin called walking away from the laughing knights. "I'LL MISS YOU!" he heard Gwaine call mockingly followed by roars of laughter. Merlin was well away from the group when he started to talk to himself. "No respect, none at all. It's Arthur that's the problem. He is out to make my life a living hell. All the knights follow his lead."He continued on and on walking a mile from the group. It was now dark out side. "You have to let me go you have no choice this is not your kingdom." A female voice came from just a bit ahead. "No milady we are under orders you are coming with us." Merlin slowly walked forward. There before him stood a woman not much younger than he was, with rich golden blonde locks that seemed to glow under the moon. She stood proudly but Merlin could tell she was frightened. "Emrys." a soft voice seemed to call him. He looked around for the source of the vice then he was looking straight into the eyes of the girl. "Why are you here Emrys?" Merlin froze. 'who was she.'

AN sorry it's a short on it will get better I promise.
