Thanks so much to Xx Elemental Angel xX for updating my stories for me. Go check out her stories! I really hope you guys liked the last chapter, it was so much fun to write! This chapter gets a bit more understanding of how they met Zayanna, and hopefully it gives some insight to her past.


Chapter Two: Wilderen's Cave

Gwaine's P.O.V:

'How could you have been so stupid!' Arthur yelled at me. 'This is the second time that you have killed a Wilderen, when you know they hunt in packs!' He was was still raging at me. I KNOW! I'll count how many minutes he can go without stopping! Note the sarcasm.

We can't remember. Hey, I'm a knight. Not a horse. Then two arrows with silver tips and blue feathers on the end, came flying out of the darkness. Arthur and I ducked just in time to have the arrows, fly above our heads. The sound of the Wilderen screeching filled the air. I turned to see the rest of the knights and Merlin on the ground also, looking behind them to see the two Wilderen on the ground, unmoving. Arthur drew his sword.

'If you want to live, you will show yourself.' He said, pointing his sword at the empty shadows.

'And why would I do that?' the voice asks. 'You know, if you wanted to die, you could have just stopped running.' the voice suggests, laughter evidently being hidden.

'And why would I, crowned Prince of Camelot, want to die at such an extreme?' he asked. Then Arthur was pressed to the wall, by an arrow. Sir Leon and Sir Elyan were positively outraged.

'What is the meaning of this?' I was surprised to find that it was my voice.

'You are knights of Camelot. Why are you on the land of Viaco?' the voice questioned. Viaco, Viaco. That sounds familiar.

'Viaco was attacked and destroyed six weeks ago. Camelot was sent to help, but it was too late. The whole place was reduced to rubble. Every living thing that lived there is gone.' Sir Leon explained, confusion etched upon his face and in his voice.

'Not everything.' the voice whispered, I was almost positive that it would be carried off with the wind. 'The youngest Princess still lives. But she needs help. She wants to find the sorcerer that did this and make him pay!' the voice sounded angry. It also sounded like the voice had a touch of girl in it.

Then a figure came out of the shadows well enough for us to know where it is, but not well enough to find out who it is.

'You're the Princess. Aren't you?' Merlin asked. It was the first time I had heard him speak since the encounter with the figure.

'You are smart Merlin. Smarter than any knight or Prince of Camelot could ever hope to see.' she spoke softly. I was most definite it was a girl. But thanks to Merlin, my suspicions were confirmed.

'But for your suspicions to be confirmed, you need to catch me first.' she said as she silently walked backward into the shadows.

'Well come on then!' Arthur looked at us. 'After her!' Arthur bellowed as we all took of running towards the entrance of the tunnels. We made it just in time to see her mount a pure black horse. I finally got a good look at her. She had auburn brown hair in two braids on the side of her head, and her emerald green eyes glistened in the sunlight that streamed through the trees in rays. I didn't get to see much of anything else, for she was starting to gallop of onto the trails.

'Come on Gwaine!' I heard Lancelot yell to me. I looked behind me to see all the other knights, Arthur and Merlin atop their horses gathering the reins ready to go after the girl. My horse Frostbit was waiting patiently for me to mount. I climbed onto him, gathered the reins and took off after the others.


Thank you super for reading my story! I absolutely fell in love with Merlin when it came on in 2008 I think it was. But I have fallen in love with the episode 'The Coming Of Arthur Part 2'! It's when Gwaine gets knighted, when he whistled at the guards in the raid on the castle, just go back to that bit and just watch it, its hilarious. But I love this bit!

Elyan: Where's Gwaine?
*Knights look at each other with worry
Elyan: Gwaine? You still alive?
Gwaine: What do you think?
*Knights look at each other relieved*
Gwaine: And that's Sir Gwaine to you
*Knights smile and laugh*

He's just so cute! But anyway REVIEW!
