Merlin POV
Thanks for the soup but Arthur will worry about me. I turn to get up when I hear.
"NO!" she yelled.
But it was too late I had already fallen on my face.
"Why can't my legs support me?" I asked her.
She shifted a bit in her chair.
"I don't have access to many spell books, I mean I have spell books but when I found you, you were in a horrible condition and I didn't have time to search for a better spell. On the bright side it will wear off, but you will have to stay here for a few days."
I sighed at the words she said.
"Can you help me up?" I asked pushing myself up with my hands.
Lilith came over and picked me up just enough to get on the bed. Great I can't go anywhere and I'm stuck with a 13 year old, what could go wrong?
XxX
2 Days later….
Arthur POV
"Last any one saw him he was here." I said pointing to a bridge on the map. "I want a patrol scouting this area."
The knights looked up at me.
"Sire, if we haven't found him so far, what makes you think he's over there?" Leon asked.
"I said scout, as in look for signs of Merlin. What did you find at the camp Mordrid found?"
Leon sighed.
"We found men who were dead, no wounds. And….. traces of blood, whoever was fighting most have been hit." Gwaine said.
Does that help?
"Hit with what?" I asked.
"A crossbow sire, we found a arrow around 50 ft from there with blood on it." Leon replied.
"Well then, maybe they continued, search for any signs of the person that could have been the sorcerer we were searching for." I commanded.
The knights left, all except Mordrid.
"I'm so sorry, this is my fault, I was the one who let him go." He said.
"It wasn't you're fault, so close to Camelot no one normally goes missing from there." I tried reassuring him.
"Arthur I messed up, I didn't escort him to the bridge, I let him go look for herbs."
