Merlin furiously burst into his chambers. He started to flash his eyes at different objects he would need for his quest. The objects all arranged neatly in a satchel. "Mordred!" He called, "let's go!" Mordred burst out and pulled his cloak over his head
Morgana was waiting outside. "Hurry, Merlin! We must leave this instant!" The three of them started to make their way out of the city. They crossed different paths, while Merlin used magic to distract guards. When they made it out of the city, they ran for the forest.
"Emrys!" Called Mordred in his telepathic way, "What's going to happen?" Merlin turned to the boy. "The magic war has started. Uther is going to hunt down every sorcerer there is around Camelot, and every sorcerer is going to fight back." Merlin sighed. "Morgana, after we get him to safety, you two must run. Do not stop" Morgana nodded with fear in her eyes.
Merlin set up camp after they were out of sight. He brought over so firewood and a basket of berries. "Here, eat" Merlin handed out bread he had gotten in the morning. "Thank you, Merlin" Morgana kindly smiles and took the bread. Mordred nodded and began to nibble on some berries. "We must make a plan" Morgana said. Merlin nodded and his eyes flashed.
The dirt vanished; a flat, paper sized area appeared. Morgana and Merlin began to draw up a plan. Mordred sat and watched. Little did Merlin know, in the future one of his closest friends would betray him.
The next morning, Merlin began running with the others again. "The guards will be scouting early! We must flee to the borders!" Merlin said between short breaths. They kept going like this day after day; setting up camp, running. Setting up camp, running.
One day, they stopped just outside the border. "This is where I leave you. Morgana and Mordred, you must go. Keep running. Try to find the Druids. Morgana and Mordred nodded, and waved Merlin goodbye.
Merlin started to journey back to Camelot. However, something was different this time. It wasn't going to be as easy as he thought. Something rustled in the bush. "W-who's there?!" Merlin whipped around. He heard a deep growling sound. Merlin backed away. Suddenly, a huge beast leaped out. "Griffin..." Merlin tried to run, but the Griffin was too fast.
It flew and landed in front of him. He was about to mutter a spell, when a giant hurling ball of red flame came down from the sky. The Griffin cowered and trotted off.
Another huge beast landed next to him. Only, he knew this beast. It was the Great Dragon. "Hello, young warlock!" "What?!" Merlin looked up. "How did you escape?!" "I was set free by an unnamed person - and call me Kilgharrah" Merlin's mouth tried to speak, but no sound came out. "Merlin, you shouldn't have let the boy live. He shall return- more powerful than ever. And one of your closest friends shall betray you." "Kilgharrah, that boy is innocent! He wouldn't hurt anybody!"
"Merlin, there's a war going on. You must stop it before it is too late!"
"I'll never get back to Camelot in time!" Merlin looked at the distant towers of what he called home.
"Merlin, have you forgotten who you're talking to?" Kilgharrah lowered his neck. Merlin grinned and laughed. He climbed on the dragon, and Kilgharrah flew off.
Merlin would arrive in Camelot soon. He had no idea what was still left to come.
