Wow. This is the fastest I've ever gotten reviews etc after an upload – seriously. Thanks so much. I was gonna post this tomorrow but I decided I might as well now as a thank you.
Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin.
He hears the screeching howl, and feels a chill seep into his bones… He's sure his time is nearing.
But he will not let the children die. Not now.
He urges his legs faster, hoping to find somewhere to hide the children and, if need be, let it take him instead. If only he could be sure that the children would reach no harm then. Perhaps one of his comrades will double back soon in search of him and, seeing the children, take them to safety. Perhaps.
He is a quiet man and easy to miss – in the right circumstances.
