Slave of the Sepasnare.

Scene 6

As the dawning sun grew higher in the sky, four figures pulled themselves out of a hole in the ground. Arthur was out first, helping Gwen out next. Merlin lifted Fae up so she scampered third and then he lifted himself up. He laughed as he saw little Fae gasping at all the light and the flowers.

Arthur and Gwen looked into each other eyes for a second.

"Thank you." Gwen whispered as she looked down, blushing. Her eyes saw that they were still holding hands. Even through she wanted that she still knew she couldn't love this man. She coughed and the prince also realise too. They tried to let go but a small hand stop them.

Fae had put her hand upon the price's and the maidservant. She knew their love was important to the prince's kingdom as well as it was important to Merlin's destiny. She kept her small hand upon theirs until she knew they wouldn't let go. Then she went to Merlin's side.

"Come on, you two!" Merlin said to the lovebirds as he headed back to Camelot. Arthur and Gwen followed hands linked until they reach the gates. Then Arthur gave Gwen's hand a quick squeeze before letting go.


Uther slammed his fist on to the arm of his chair. He was fed up of Gaius excuses. Now Gaius was telling him that Gwen, use to be maidservant to Morganna, had gone missing. He didn't care, he only care about his son.

"Never mind that have you found those plants weakness?"

"I'm sorry sire, but you'll have to wait."

"Do you think I'm going to sit around here while my so could be-"

"Don't worry, father."

Uther gasped. Arthur had entered along with the maidservant, his manservant and a ragged girl.

"Arthur!" he stood up and ran to his son. Arthur was just as surprised as everyone else by the embrace.

"I'm alright, father. Thanks to Fae and Gwen."

"Fae?"

"The girl, here. She was imprisoned as a slave by those plants. She helped us escape from the plants clutches and Gwen helped us out of the tunnels."

"A slave? She can't be trusted!"

"Father s-"

"She could have been put up to plot against us!"

"Father! I owe her my life!" Arthur shouted. Uther stared at his son.

"Alright. But I can't offer a girl a room..."

"Please, sire, she'll be welcomed at my house." piped up Gwen. Uther nodded.

"Thank you, both." Uther said to the slave and Gwen.


"How can she be a slave? The Sepasnare's known to eat anyone in sight." Gaius asked Merlin as they entered their chambers.

"Huh?" Merlin was paying attention. He was thinking about Freya.

"Merlin, aren't you even listening?"

"Sorry, Gaius."

Gaius was about to raise more questions but saw Merlin face. "What is it?"

"Fae. She's Freya's sister." Merlin whispered feeling the tears pricked in his eyes. He looked away, turning to the work Gaius had set out.

"Merlin." Merlin turned back to Gaius; through he didn't want to, as the tears were falling down his cheeks. "Come here." And Gaius hugged him, letting Merlin silently sob into his shoulder.


Fae stared about her. It had been years since she seen the inside of a house, and she had never seen one so tidy as Gwen's. Gwen entered and smiled at the child's delight.

"Here, I got you some clothes." She said as she handed Fae some dresses. She laughed at the girl's astonished face. "They're not that nice."

Fae shot her an; are you kidding me, look. Gwen smiled.

"You're room is just over there. If you need anything just come and find me. I should be somewhere in the palace. You'll properly bump into Merlin more than me there, though."

Fae gave a smile of thanks to her. Gwen got up to leave but before she left she smiled at the girl. Even through she was a mute, Gwen knew she would get on with the girl.
