~Chapter 2 :D ~

Merlin found that his eyes were glued to the pendant dangling from the string that was pinched between Gaius's fingers. It was amazingly beautiful. It had this large, clear, circular gem in the middle which sparkled and created rainbows in the light. It was encircled by a small bluish green dragon made of clay, with eyes that seemed to bore through his soul. It was the creepiest and most amazing thing he had ever witnessed. It was as if it was calling to him. Beckoning for him to take it and use it. He felt his arm slowly extend towards it, if he could only touch it, maybe it would satisfy this unnaturally strong need to have it. It wasn't until Gaius gave him a light slap on the wrist that he escaped the daze he was in.

"What is that thing Gaius?" he asked now trembling with the effort of resisting it's 'call'. Gaius raised an eyebrow at him then walked over to one of his shelves and grabbed a book. He flipped through the pages until he came across what he was looking for. He then waved Merlin over then pointed at the book. It had only a small rough drawing that looked pretty close to the pendant with hardly any information written under it. He looked up at his mentor confused, obviously having expected more to be written.

"It's just as I thought." Gaius said with a sigh. "This is serious. Merlin, this is a very powerful talisman. It was created by the old religion. Many sorcerers, humans, and creatures alike fought and killed for it, but then it vanished. It was lost to all without even a hint of where it could be. This was said to be long ago before even my father's father was born. By the time the purge began, hardly any knew of it and for those of us who did it was believed to be a myth. Even it's name was lost to the ages."

"Then how do you know for sure that this is the same talisman?" Merlin questioned now extremely curious.

"Because," he replied, "Even I can feel the powerful magic radiating off of it and I don't have the kind of gifts you do Merlin, and in any other books or myths I haven't heard of any description even remotely similar to it. We're going to have to tread lightly, we don't yet know whether this girl is friend or foe." Merlin nodded in agreement then stole a glance at the girl. Then a question popped in his head.

"Gaius?" he asked looking back at him, "What exactly is the talisman supposed to do? I mean what was it used for? You said everyone wanted to get their hands on it right?"

"Well," he answered, "It was said to amplify your power. It could be used to make your magic stronger, make poisons more potent, increase the strength of armies, even increase your knowledge. The possibilities were endless and you wouldn't have to say any spells for it to work. It could be very dangerous in the wrong hands."

"If it's been lost all this time then how do you think she got it? It couldn't have just been lost on the forest floor all these years, someone had to have hidden it. Especially if it's that powerful." Merlin said, taking another look at the book Gaius had shown him, hoping there would be an answer. When there wasn't one he shook his head and looked back up to Gaius who had raised his eyebrow at him.

"Merlin," he lectured, "Weren't you listening to a word I said? I told you there was nothing left behind giving any information what-so-ever on where it could be or how it disappeared." He could have gone on, but then at that moment there was a groan. They both looked towards the bed to see their patient moving around on the bed. Gaius walked over and put a hand on her forehead. At his touch, the girl's eyes shot open revealing shocking blue eyes that could rival Merlin's blue orbs.

"Shhh, my child," Gaius said in an attempt to calm her down, "It's alright, you're safe."

"Where am I?" she asked, obviously still frightened.

"Your in Camelot in the physician's chambers." he told her. He then grabbed a damp washcloth and set it on her forehead. She gave a small smile then let out a sigh of relief, closing her eyes. About two seconds later, however, she shot up into a sitting position, grabbing her abdomen in pain afterwards.

"You've been injured," Gaius said as he grabbed her shoulders, "You must rest, you are not yet ready to be moving around." She tore out of his grasp then looked at him with such a terrified face, that he paled just looking at it.

"I can't rest, not yet at least." She all but yelled at him. At this Merlin walked towards them entering her line of sight, which made her jump.

"Why can't you rest?" he asked, genuinely concerned. They were all silent for a moment as she stared, going back and forth between Gaius and Merlin.

"I-I need to f-find someone, it's urgent, I can't waist anymore time." She told them before trying to get out of the bed. As soon as she stood up, she fell back onto the bed before either of them could push her back down themselves.

"Who are you looking for?" Merlin asked coming a little closer, "Maybe we can help you find them." She looked down at her hands and was quiet for a moment.

"I need to find a man named Emrys." This made both men freeze, "Either him or the king of Camelot!" she looked back up at them, expecting for an answer when they didn't she grew a little more panicked.

"Please!," she begged almost hysterical, "I need to find at least one of them, both their lives are in danger, along with the fate of Camelot!"
