It took another hour of traveling before Merlin finally reached the clearing near the valley of the fallen kings in the centre of the clearing stood three figures wearing cloaks Merlin assumed they were the druids he was supposed to be meeting. Once Merlin tied his horse to a nearby tree and made his way into the clearing as he got closer one of the three figures removed their hood to reveal the face of Iseldir leader of a clan of druids " Ah Emrys it's good to see you again" greeted Iseldir with a kind smile.
"Good to see you too" replied Merlin with a smile even though he prefers when the druids use his actual name "I take it that you got my message " added Merlin with a small smirk
"Yes you were quite vague in with your message so, I brought two of my clan's most powerful seers," said Iseldir pointing to the two people standing either side of him still wearing their hoods "Remove your cloaks " ordered Iseldir the two other druids nodded and removed their cloaks showing two very different people. The person standing on Iseldir right was a young pale-skinned woman with raven hair that reached down to her shoulders and crystal blue eyes she also had a scar running down from her forehead to her cheek the other person on Iseldir left was a middle age man with a scruff graying beard " This is Eve and Thomas" said Iseldir
"Nice to meet you, "said Merlin giving them a kind smile
"So Emrys can you please go into more detail about your visions? "asked Eve with a questioning look.
"Well, my visions are about the former queen being pregnant with her second child. but Uther claimed the queen died giving birth to Arthur "explained Merlin "Also in my last vision she had just gone into labor but then my vision just finished without any warning " added Merlin hoping that the more experienced magic users would have an answer.
"So you want us to help you to see what happens next in your visions," said Iseldir rising an eyebrow
"Yeah basically," said Merlin with a shrug.
"Hmm, that will be quite a difficult task without anything that was physically present during the event "explained Eve with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Not necessarily," said Thomas piping into the conversion for the first time." I know a spell that could help you with your problem but it will require all four of our combined power" explained Thomas stroking his beard
"How long will it take ?" asked Merlin wanting to try and get the spell over with and back to Leon before he wakes up.
"Hmm I will need to gather a few things for the spell so maybe an hour or so "answered Thomas signaling to Eve to follow him.
"I hope Leon doesn't up anytime soon," thought Merlin with a sigh.
Arthur stormed into the throne room where his father was meeting with his council "Father we need to talk now " demanded Arthur in a stern voice Uther was about to scold his son but after seeing his son furious expression he quickly ordered the council members to leave them once the council had cleared the room Uther turned his full attention to his son.
"Arthur what's the matter ? "asked Uther in a concerned look on his face he may not show it all the time but he truly cared for his son.
"Well I just found out you were lying to me my whole life " shouted Arthur
"What are you talking about ?" asked Uther with a confused look on his face
"I know you been lying to me about my mother death " shouted Arthur a little surprised his father hadn't scolded him yet with a heavy sigh Uther rubbed a hand over his face before sitting on the throne.
"How did you find out ?" asked Uther not even denying the accusation.
"In one of the books you had me study "muttered Arthur glaring at his father.
"I never thought you would have found out the truth so young I was going to tell you when you were older more mature," said Uther with a sadden expression
"So what happened to my mother ?" asked Arthur calming down a little
"Your mother was pregnant with our second child she was so sure it was going to be a boy your mother always had a way of knowing that sort of thing, "said Uther a slight smile on his at the memory but it quickly turned into a frown "I was on a hunting trip when your mother went into labor I rode as fast as I could but by the time I arrived it was too late she had bled out and Guise told me the baby didn't make "said Uther a single tear escaping his eye.
"So you thought it was best for me to believe it was my fault mother died," said Arthur he felt a lot of emotions relief that he didn't cause his mother death grief for the brother he will never know
"I thought it would be better for you to believe that than to add on the loss of a brother you would never know, "said Uther getting up from the throne and walking over to his son "I have to attend to the nobles but we will talk about his later tonight "said Uther patting his son on his shoulder and leaving Arthur to his thoughts.
