Gwaine and Merlin reach Ealdor. It is an early morning. Their is still some fog arround the village. The village looks like it is left. There are no people walking arround. No men working. No child playing. Only out of some chimneys some smoke rise. Gwaine and Merlin look at each other. They are riding slowly through the village straight towards a little house. Both jump off their horses and tie them up on that little palisade in front of that house.
Gwaine looks arround: "Is it always that silent here? No wonder that you left that place." Merlin is worried: "No, normally there is life in that village. Let us go into my mother's house, then we will know what happened." Merlin and Gwaine enter the house.
