"Ah, Gwen, I need a favour."
"Of course Gaius. Anything for you."
"We have a bit of a situation brewing."
"Oh?"
"As you know Merlin comes of age in a week-"
"Of course I know. Arthur's planned a party for him. Should be a cracking shindig."
"Yes, well, Merlin may not make it to his party unless we do this."
"Do what?"
"I've just discovered that there could be serious repercussions if Merlin comes of age as a…maiden."
"A maiden?" Big pause. Penny drops. "Oh!"
"Exactly, and there are only three people who can do it, according to the Dragon."
"Let me guess."
"No need I fear. It's obvious."
"I'll talk to them, we'll pick who's going to do the deed for the team. Will you break the news to Merlin?"
"Are you mad? I like my head where it is. Where is he now?"
Gwen was about to answer when there was a great shuddering boom and the whole castle shuddered. Gwen exchanged looks with Gaius.
"Morgana's magic lessons." They said together, repressing snorts and sniggers.
