Tomos cursed.

"I got Arthur's friends!" said Agravaine.

"I want Brynn! She turned her back on me. You were to kill her and she lives!" spat Tomos.

"I am trying. She is surprisingly perseverant."

" Kill the knight. Without him, there is no hope."

"As you wish!" said Agravaine.

Agravaine made a mental note to kill the boy when he had Arthur. He was worse than Morgana. Nothing Agravaine did was good enough for the warlock. Well, soon that would change, and he would have Arthur and kill Tomos and Morgana. Then he would be the King of Camelot. But first things first, getting rid of Percival and his precious love. Percival would be more difficult, but his companion was on the verge of death. How she still was alive was a mystery. She was hit in a dangerous spot by his men's arrow. No matter, at least she could not fight back.

Morgana awoke from the spell. Tomos was wearing a smile most foul.

"Trust old Brynn to drag her friends in without knowing it. But I can give Agravaine Arthur and when Agravaine assumes the throne, magic will finally be allowed again. My former friend was a fool for caving in. She drags me along to kill Uther, obsessed with it, and changes heart. Ha! Since I met her that is all she ever wanted. Until you," said Tomos, pointing his dagger at Merlin, "Came along and changed her. I will make you both pay, and your friends. Oh, but first, the foolish King, who will find out his friends were kidnapped and walk right into a trap."

"Not unless we stop you first." Snapped Morgana.

"So confident. I have magical protection that even you, Morgana, cannot penetrate."

"You are not invincible, but a coward and your pride will be your downfall."

Tomos laughed.

"You turned back so quickly Morgana. It is too bad there is nothing you can do. Brynn is hovering on the edge of death and there is no way you can escape with your friends and save her." He said.

Morgana turned pale. She could feel her friend's life slipping away.

"We have to get out of here." She muttered silently to Merlin and Gwen.

"We could try a distraction." Gwen whispered.

"Verbal or otherwise?" inquired Merlin.

"Both," said Morgana, "Merlin, you can irritate him, and I will try a spell to break us free."

Merlin nodded.

"Hey Tomos, if you are so powerful, why not go after Arthur yourself?" Merlin shouted.

Tomos snorted. "I would think that is obvious."

"Try me." Said Merlin.

"You stupid prat! Magic is not allowed and were I to get caught alone using it.." started Tomos.

"Oh, I get it. You just are full of hot air and think you are super powerful." Said Merlin.

Tomos glared at Merlin.

Morgana whispered a spell. Stone came from the ceiling and collapsed. But Tomos was too quick.

"Hey, a magical shield would have been easier! But you would not know how to do one would you?" said Merlin.

"Merlin, I am not the only warlock in this room. Oh what's that, you never told them? And you have the nerve to call me a coward."

Merlin froze. He had forgotten Tomos had seen the warlock use powers by Connecting. How was he to respond to this? Tomos just grinned with malice.
