"Alright, we're here...where are they?" I heard Arthur ask right when we reached the Valley.
"We're here young Pendragon." A young woman, probably no older than Arthur came out from behind a large boulder. Let me take you to our camp, it isn't far."
"You said 'we' meaning more of you?"
"Keera, come here for a moment." She called out and a little girl camehappily running from behind a tree. "That's my girl...so happy and full of life. Now remember what I said...behave."
The girl nodded her head and then turned to me. 'Emrys! It's really you! This is going to be so much fun! However, I have to be honest...'
'What?' I mentally ask as we begin to follow Keera's mother.
'I thought Arthur would've been taller.' I couldn't help but laugh, which unfortunately got both the attention of Keera's mother and Arthur. "Something funny, Merlin?"
"Um, yes."
"Did the girl say or do something funny?" Athur asked once more.
"Yes she did."
"Keera, I told you to behave."
"Sorry mother." She answered with a smile. 'I apologize Emrys...but hopefully mother and father can help you and Arthur.'
'Help us? How?'
'Mother told me that if he doesn't find out about the prophecy and the destiny soon then when he finally does...it'll be too late. It made me very sad...so I created a spell and showed it to Mother. She said it was a good idea. She then showed it to her friend who turned it into something bad...but Father fixed it.'
'You...created a spell?'
'Yes. How did you think most spells came to be?'
'I guess you have a point.'
"Merlin, are you alright?" I heard Arthur ask.
"Yes I'm fine thank you. Why?"
"You're being too quiet and I don't like it."
"I was...thinking." I say as I glance at Keera who is trying to hold in a laugh.
Before Arthur could as a question we thankfully made it to Keera's camp. "It may not be much to you young Pendragon, but to us this is home."
We both looked around at the wondrous colors and the warm smiles on everyone's face as we cane through their camp, after we got off our horses. "It's beautiful..." He gestures to the woman who led us here.
"My name is Liya" She smiled and walked over to a large blue and orange tent. "In here, the both of you and we shall speak."
'Have fun Emrys. Mother did this to two trusted people once and it turned out both good and bad. I wish you luck. If I'm not in bed yet please tell me how it goes?'
'As long as you're not in bed yet' I smile at her and walk into the tent after Arthur.
"Will the two of you please sit on both of those pillows sitting directly across from each other and facing one another?"
"Yes." We both answer and move into the positions she asked us.
"What is going to happen?" I ask.
"I'm going to place the both of you under a powerful enchantment. It will be much more powerful because of the spell that my daughter had created. For example, if we had done this enchantment without the spell you would only see the other's emotions and memories...but this way you will be living and feeling them with every intensity the other held or does hold."
"What do you mean?" Arthur questioned giving me a doubtful glance.
"Well..." She looked at Arthur directly. Say that something made you incredibly frightened as a child or incredibly happy...Merlin would experiance that memory just as you did, feeling everything. This is an enchantment...and a trial."
"I thought you said we were going to talk about destiny and prophecy..."
"We are, and this is how." She then looked at me. 'I'm so sorry Emrys...but if we don't do this...if Arthur finds out when he is foretold to find out...there is a possibility he will die...I doubt you want that.'
"Alright, well this should be interesting." I say out loud and nod my head. "So what emotion are we starting with first?"
"We will start with sadness, then anger, and then after all of that I will show Arthur your greatest fear, Merlin...and after that, I will discuss destiny and prophecy. I am showing you horribke memories because the two of you have already seen each other happy. Are you ready?"
"Ready." we both answer.
"Very well. Arthur we will start with you. You will live Merlin's memories and emotions as your own...and for both of your safety if either of you should get angry at the other a protection spell will be placed. One shall be asleep while the other is awake and waiting."
"Seems fair." I admitted.
"Alright, I'm ready." Arthur says and she nods. She pours a sweet smelling watter over Arthur and he falls back on more pillows.
'This is going to be interesting.'
