The Fayruz holder

Scene 6

Fae woke up to find herself on a horse. She blinked and pulled herself up to sit on it, looking around her. She had never been so grateful about having lots of different colours around her other than just blue.

"You're awake then?" Arthur said and she realise that he had been walking by the horse. They were almost back to Camelot.

She nodded and looked at him questioning. She didn't think she had stay in this world let alone passed out for so long.

"You started writhing when Robert somehow died. You calmed down when we reached the mainland, but there was times when I had to carry you myself as the horse wasn't that happy." Arthur grinned and jumped onto the horse so he can speed it up.

He still was thinking about the blue light. Somehow it showed up just when he needed it. Like Merlin did to use his magic to save him, although he had only realise that now. Merlin couldn't have sent that light, could he? Another think to talk to him about when they had the chance. And probably that chance will be a while before it shows up. Great.

Jerking him out of his thoughts, he felt Fae poke his back, "What?" but she didn't have to try and answer. It was just ahead of him.

"Great, father has notice my trip." He groaned as he saw the knights coming out the gate. "Let hope Gaius has come up with an excuse or something. Fae, its best if you get off and hide, while I get arrested. Then sneak in and head to Merlin."

Fae jumped of and hurried away to the nearest tree. She watch the guards take Arthur inside and followed before one of them came back and realise she was also on the horse. Clutching the gem, she hurried inside.


"Where have the devil have you been??!!" Uther shouted at his son. They were in the throne and Arthur was just glad they weren't in the prison cells.

"I...I had to do an errand. Sorry, father."

"What was this errand?" Uther asked scowling and Arthur cursed under his breath.

"It...um...not important now. Anyway I back now." Arthur ducked his head and cursed himself again. He was even as rubbish as Merlin at coming up with fibs.

"Oh, is it not that important? Well I went to Gaius the other day and found a certain servant was ill. Apparently he had been stuck by a poison arrow. Now if I remember correctly, there was a very familiar case last year expect with a poison goblet that time." Uther looked at Arthur and Arthur felt like hitting himself.

"Well, I think you know the answer. And I'm prepare for any punishment you have for me."

"Do you have the antidote?" Uther held out his hand, ready for Arthur to give it to him, like last time. However Arthur just hid a smile.

"Well, I did, but I had it sent of to Merlin already. So there is no need for your concerned, father." Arthur couldn't help but laugh silently as he watch the frustration on his father's face. He had learned his lesson about given antidotes to him.


Fae sat down on the castle window edge, smiling. It had been three days and Merlin was on the mend, thank goodness. Taking the liquid out had been easy as all she had to do was look into the gem again and read the right symbol. Fae was happy that she could talk even if it was only with that gem. It was something that she had been jealous of, everyone could talk and not her. Even through she had developed a way so people could read her eyes she still couldn't experience saying all kind of words that people took for granted. And now she had.

"I thought I'll find you here." Merlin said as he jumped up beside her. Fae gave him an anxious look. "Don't start nagging, I'm fine." He said. Fae gently kicked him and they both cracked up laughing.

"Lucky Arthur's in the stocks, otherwise I be straight back to work. Through it might not be so bad, seeing as he knows I have magic."

Fae smiled. She knew how rough it must have been, not telling your friend something.

"And it's seems you do too." Merlin murmured and Fae jumped. Gaius must have told him.

"Do you have any clue how that Fayruz woman could hurt you with a single touch?" Merlin causally said that just made Fae jump even more. He saw that?

"Felt it too." Merlin smiled, glancing up at the girl. He was worried about the girl, to experience that pain would have killed any other ten year old. Yet she still sat beside him.

Fae managed to shrug, but she was still wincing at the thought of that meeting. Never would she want that to happen again. And yet how could she stop it when she hadn't even realise that she was the one who had killed Robert.

"You will learn to control it." Merlin said, knowing that the girl was fearing that.

Fae looked at him with a grave expression. But what if I can't?

"Don't worry about that. You've got a person that had magic for years by your side."

Fae smiled. It's no wonder Freya loved you.

Immediately she wished she hadn't let her eyes say that but Merlin had already seen it.

"Let's hope she still does." Merlin sighed, stopping the tears. He felt Fae angry eyes on him. "Alright, don't look at me like that. I know she does." Fae smiled and hugged him. She knew her sister by heart, even if she hadn't seen her for a while and could never now, while she was alive. So if Merlin was worried about Freya hearts wandering where ever she rested in peace now, he just had to asked her.

Merlin smiled and hugged Fae back. It almost felt like hugging Freya again. He was defiantly going to look after Fae, for her.


Next time: Fae and Mordred meet and are captured by greedy magic-wanters. Arthur has to let Gwen in the magic secret but how will she react? And a kiss is share but by who? All of that on...
