The Sister's story: The untold story of Merlin
This is a fan fiction of the TV show of Merlin, I do not own the characters except Rosemary who is based from me and Aurelia who is based off my friend Shea, if these characters resemble anyone else it is merely a coincidence
Enjoy :3
Chapter 6: A new companion
I was awaken by the sound of footsteps padding along the wooden floorboards, thinking it was my younger brother returning from his romantic getaway I sat up only to find his bed empty. I was puzzled, I could sense a presence in the room, and I muttered a quick revealing spell. To my surprise a tiny grey and white wolf cub scampered across the room, it cocked its head to the side and looked at me.
I slowly eased out of my bed and kneeled on the floor. "Here puppy," I whispered to the wolf, patting the space in front of me, it ran over to me and rolled over. "Oh so you're a she boy huh?" I then realised something odd about the wolf, on its chest just to right was three black spirals linked together, I realised it was the druid mark, this was no ordinary pup, it was my animal guardian "Well then" I said scoping the wolf into my arms "you deserve a name don't you little one."
I looked around the room and spotted my book Tegwar, the textbook on the Elvish language, I stood up, picked up the book and flicked to the name section "Thandion, meaning wolf" I read aloud to the pup. "Too original" I sighed "How about Thandraug, shield wolf, no that doesn't seem right" the pup grew restless, squirming in my arms "How about Blödion, blood wolf? That sound pretty mighty" The pup barked excitedly "Alright, Blödethand it is then, Dion for short" I carried Dion over to my bed, he hopped onto it and snuggled down, I climbed in too wondering where on earth Merlin was?
Blödion woke me up yet again by his scampering around. I rolled over onto my side, still no Merlin. I picked up Dion, his warm, sandpaper tongue, tickled my face. "Good morning to you too" I said smiling at him.
After getting dressed, I plodded downstairs with Dion at my heels. There was a note on the table from Gaius explaining that he had left early and that one of the cooks had brought up some bacon as a thank you for Gaius curing his daughter. Gaius had left it already cooked by the sink, it was still warm. I tossed a few pieces onto a plate and sat down at the table. Dion rubbed against my legs, "Oh, I almost forgot" I said to him tossing a few strips of bacon down to him which he began munching on quite contently.
Suddenly Dion's ears pricked, he ran towards the door, barking excitedly. "Hush, Dion" I whispered to the pup. The door creaked open and a tired, half-dressed Merlin peaked out, Dion jumped up on his leg wagging his tail. "Since when did we get a dog?" he said scratching Dion behind the ears. "Since when did a midnight picnic end up with you losing half your clothes? He gave me a cheeky grin, my mouth fell open "You didn't, did you?" "Honestly Rosemary, do you really think I'm that low" he replied "I was teaching her transforming spells and my some of my clothes got ripped while I was transforming."
Dion sniffed at Merlin feet, taking in his scent which was very new to him. "As a said before, when did we get a dog?" "It's not a dog" I explained "This is Blödion, a wolf, my spirit guardian" Merlin looked at the pup amazed "You know he'll grow wings when he's older, I read it in one of Gaius' books" "Really?" I said slightly shocked. I looked at Dion, it only just occurred to me that I barely knew anything about animal guardians, I never thought I would have enough Druid blood in me to have been granted one.
Dion glanced up at me wagging his tail. I wondered what magical abilities ran through his veins? "I supposed I must start studying then" I said to Merlin "Well," He said stretching "I'm going to bed then." He gave Dion one last scratch behind the ears and plodded upstairs. He stopped about halfway, turning around to face me, "Is there something wrong Rose?" he questioned "I tried to get in contact with you early, but you had shut off the connection." The memories of last night came back to haunt me. "Oh, um, I just had a little run in with Arthur on my way back from the laundry, nothing major, I was just a little grumpy." He came back down the stairs looking me deep in the eyes. "Rosemary, if he ever hurts you, let me know okay?" "I'm a big girl now Merlin, I can look after myself." "Alright, I'm just making sure" he said turning around and walked up the stairs yet again.
I sighed, not knowing what to do about, the whole Arthur situation. I keep telling myself that he was drunk and lonely, that I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but now…I'm not so sure.
I shook my head and walked over to the book shelves, pulling out a book about animal guardians hoping to lose myself inside the mysteries of these creatures and forget about the Arthur incident.
