A silent meeting

Morgana reached the castle in a foul mood. Since Arthurs escape, she had found out that it was a soldier on patrol who had made that noise. He had been punished. Now she had turned her mind, towards solving the riddle. The dragon had said that she would have to look for a man who was close, but hidden. As Morgana reached her chamber, a servant asked nervously if she wanted anything. Morgana waved her away. Deep in thought, she came to the conclusion that a finding spell might do it.

Arthur was not too happy about Gaius hiding something from him. He could not understand why, Gaius kept something that could save the kingdom. Someone bumped into Arthur he turned around ready to scold Merlin. As he turned he saw that it wasn`t Merlin, but it was Guinevere.

Gwen had spent the entire day collecting herbs and other supplies for Gaius. When she was done with that, she decided that it was time to visit the families and see if they needed something. On her way towards her brother to check on him as well, she bumped into someone. When she looked up she saw that it was Arthur. Gwen Blushed. It looked like he was surprised to see her. "I am so sorry my lord," Gwen could feel her face become more red. Arthur looked tired and like a heavy burden was on his shoulders. She thought of all the times they had talked together and sent each other a glance. "It is all right Guinevere," it seemed like he was about to say more, but he didn't.

Merlin had just left Gaius tent, when he saw Gwen talking to Arthur. It looked like they wanted to say something to one another, but just looked at each other instead. He went over there. "Arthur, the others are waiting," Merlin didn't want to break up their conversation, but there were things that had to be done.

"Arthur, the others are waiting," He looked up from Gwen's face. "Yes, of course," Arthur nodded to Gwen and walked away with Merlin. They reached the hill where the other knights were waiting. They looked at Arthur in anticipation. The first to speak was Gwaine "So what happened?" they all stared at Arthur.

Merlin wondered what he would say to the knights. He knew that Arthur would never keep something from the knights, but he still wished that Arthur didn't say anything.

Morgana had prepared things so that she wouldn`t be disturbed. She had spent hours, trying to find something that she could use to find Emrys. Now she was preparing the spell. Morgana knew that it was essential that she found Emrys, before her stupid brother.

"I have to find someone who will help us win," Arthur said. "Where can this person be found, sire?" Sir Leon asked. "I don't know, but I have a clue," he made it clear that he would not say more about the clue. The knights respected him enough not to ask. Arthur didn't like keeping secrets from the knights, but he had to find this Emrys alone.

Merlin felt so relieved when Arthur did not tell them about the riddle. It wasn't that he didn't trust them, but Merlin knew that sooner or later Arthur would figure out the riddle. When that time came he would have to be ready.
