Summary: Merlin's trip from Ealdor to Camelot.
Part of him wanted her to walk with him for a bit. She was his mother after all. She was the only family he had ever had. She was the only family that he had ever known. And he was leaving her behind.
If he was telling it truthfully, she was the one that had told him that it might be best for him to go to Camelot to study with her uncle, he was the one to agree to it. He didn't even realise that she even had an uncle. His magic was becoming more and more instinctual and her slightly hasty decision was made when she found out that Will had found out. He knew that Will could keep a secret but his mother was less sure about it.
He looked back at the village he had grown up in and was leaving behind. It may not have been much but it was home. He waved back to his mother. He had to. He didn't know when might be the next time he would see her again. He wondered if she would have come with him if he asked her. He didn't want to leave her to fend for herself. His head filled with ideas of bad crops and that she would starve. He turned away to try and stop the thoughts.
He slept on the hard forest floor. He couldn't wait to have a bed again, not that he ever had a bed. He had given it back to his mother when he had turned 12. The floor wouldn't hurt his back like it did hers. If anything, he had no idea what to expect from Camelot. He had never been to a city before or seen a castle. It was a new chapter in his life, a new adventure. That was the way he had to look at it. He was finally going to find out more about his gifts. He might even gain an explanation as to why he had his gifts. The closer he came to the city, the more he thought that it wasn't going to be a bad thing.
