Chapter 4: Deadly Discovery
Suddenly, Merlin noticed a glistening, white light shining down from somewhere. The light brought him a feeling of hope, hope that he'd actually escape from the Cave! Merlin glanced up at where the light was coming from, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief as the light was passing through a wide gap inbetween two rocks. A gap he'd be able to squeeze himself through.
After climbing the rocks and forcing himself through the gap between the rocks, Merlin collapsed onto the floor with exauhstion. Gazing around him to see where we was, he saw thousands of dazzling, magical white Crystals sticking out of the Cave Walls. He was in the main part of Crystal Cave. Slithering across the floor on his front like a snake, Merlin approached a close by Crystal and stared into it, praying the vision that would appear inside it would be a positive one, although he doubted it.
Merlin observed the images playing in the Crystal closely and carefully, desperate not to miss a single detial. First, two armies of screaming and crying men: the Knights Of Camelot and Morgana's Guards, were clashing their bloody swords against one another. Hundreds of men were stabbed with the razor sharp blades of the swords, causing them to collapse onto the ground where they'd be left to die slowly and painfully. Next, Arthur, being the skilled swordsman he is, was slashing his way neatly through Morgan's Guards, finishing every single one whom he passed. Thirdly, Morgana was stood ontop of a towering Cliffe, watching the battle as if it was some sort of movie. She was using all her effort and all her magic powers to send the Knights Of Camelot flying through the air to their deaths. Afterwards, the battle feild had suddenly fell sill and silent. Arthur wandred across the bloody plains, glancing with horror at all the dead bodies that were painted with gallons of lost, ruby-red blood, until Mordred suddenly appeared behind him and lashed his sword at him. Thanfully, Arthur heard him, spun around to face him, and managed to defend himself with his own sword. However, after a few seconds of clashing swords and gasping with exauhstion men, Mordred struck his sword through Arthur's stomach! Arthur gasped in pain as all the air was shoved out of his body and the sword's blade pierced his gut. This was it. He was about to meet his destined doom at the hands of a fromer Knight Of Camelot and an ally of his' who decided to betray him by joining Morgana. But just then, Arthur, possessing one last amount of strength, struck his sword into Mordred's stomach and his gut, causing him to gasp in pain as all the air was forced out of him. Mordred glanced at Arthur and laughed at the fact that even though Arthur had been stabbed, he still had enough strength to stab him, before collapsing onto the ground, dead. Relieved that Mordred was now dead and he had claimed his vengance on Mordred for betraying him and even attempting to murder him in cold blood, but petrified that he was about to die and so Camelot would lose its King, Arthur limped away from Mordred's dead body, desperate to find someone who had survived the war like him, who could help him.
