Chapter 2

Hello, hope you are having a good day.

Merlin and Freya got up early in the morning and cooked breakfast. Half an hour later they heard little feet running down the stairs. Will in his crib sleeping woke up at the sound. Merlin looked up to see his siblings running down the stairs.

"Merlin, where's Morgain?" Amagene asked as she looked around trying find her niece.

"She got kidnapped last night. I'm going out to find her alone. I'll bring her home before Christmas. Ok. Come eat your breakfast. Don't be loud. Gaius needs to stay asleep." Merlin sighed tearfully as he hugged Amagene. Both of them began to cry but then Gaius woke up.

"Merlin, I assume I need to get you some food for the journey." Gaius yawned as he got up from bed.

"I'll do it." Merlin volunteered quietly as he rolled his eyes. Then Merlin's parents went down stairs. They all ate breakfast and talked about what happened to Morgana. After breakfast Merlin started packing.

"Here, I got some fruits and vegetables for Morgain. All you have to do is cook them and cut them into very small pieces till…."Freya explained quickly.

"Till it looks like soup and then give it to her. I know. I'll make sure she gets what she needs to live." Merlin continued sadly.

"Ok. Balinor said that he was going to tell Arthur what happened. As court warlock he's doing his job. He will stay."

"Ok."

Then Balinor and Arthur came in.

"Merlin, you will go with a few knights." Arthur demanded sternly.

"No, Arthur. I can't. I have to do it alone. Father is to stay here and do his job. If I'm not back in a week then send Elyan, Gwaine, Percival, and Leon out." Merlin retorted.

"Ok. Be back before Christmas."

"I will."

Then Arthur clapped Merlin on the back and left. Balinor hugged his son.

"Be careful. I will do what you say but when you get back I'm going to have a talk with you. See you in about a week. "Balinor sadly said.

"I will." Merlin answered. Then Freya and Hunith came.

"Here, when you find Morgana put this cloak on her. It's the one I made when Amagene was 1. I love you." Hunith sighed tearfully.

"Ok." Merlin replied as he put the light pink and green cloak in his bag. Then Freya went up to Merlin.

"Here's her coat. I know she will need it for warmth. Be careful." Freya warned. Then she kissed Merlin and went to get Will. Merlin finished packing and went to his siblings.

"OK, you 2 need to behave. Amagene help Gwen and Freya. Help your mother take care of things. Matthew, help your father and Gaius. I'll be back." Merlin explained sternly.

"Ok. Please be careful." Amagene cried fearfully.

"I will, brother. You know me." Matthew sighed trying not to look like he would cause trouble.

"I don't believe you but I have no choice." Merlin sighed as he pulled his sibling into a hug.

Then Merlin said good bye to his son and left. He walked down the corridor and ran into Gwen.

"Oh, Merlin. I was just coming to see you. I heard about Morgana. I wanted to give you these blue and yellow mittens. I had them when I was about 1 years old. When you find Morgain give these to her. It will keep her hands warm in this cold. I know you'll find her. I'll try not to give birth before you get back so that Arthur will not worry when his child is born." Gwen offered sadly.

"Thanks. I'll give it back soon." Merlin sighed.

"Don't worry about it. I found it when I was looking through the things I had when I was little. I wish Morgain to have them. Then when Morgain grows out of them you can give them back if need. I don't mind."

"Ok."

Then Merlin left. He walked into the woods and began his long trek in the snow on foot. He used his mind to guide him. For 2 days he walked in the snow. Day and night. It snowed off and on but lightly. Merlin started to freeze to death in the freezing cold weather.
