Remember how I said things AREN'T over yet? Well here's where you find out! :D ENNNNJJJJOOOOYYYY!
Chapter 7: A Shocking Discovery
A few minutes have passed and I finally gather my wits up and stop crying. I still felt Lancelot running his fingers through my hair and holding me close. Distracted from the thought of Arthur's death, my heart stopped yet again in the presence of Lancelot. I do my best to hide those parts of my feelings from him for now.
Hearing that I have stopped crying, Lancelot releases me from his grip. Him and I both stand up to face everyone, there was a large feeling of grief in everyone I laid eyes upon. I walk up to Sonic and Galahad and they both pull me into a brotherly embrace. That is all I wanted to do right now. Be with my brothers, Galahad I have raised since my father was never there to take care of me and him. We are twins and all only because we have the same birthday, but I am three years older than him. Sonic... well I may not have known him for that long but I guess I do in the future, and believe it or not I am going to miss him when we send him back to his time. Although I do know that I am in his future and get to know him, and I m very much looking forward to seeing him in his time.
They release me from their hug and I looked back at Arthur's dead body. Something instantly caught my eye, the scabbard wasn't destroyed. I look at Merlina as she approaches the scabbard and picks it up with a dark smile on her face. Everyone watched her closely. We all knew something wasn't right.
"Merlina?" I said eyeing her closely as I approach her. She looked at me, still with that dark smile, not leaving her face, "What are you doing with the scabbard?"
"You won't be needing it." Merlina replied with a dark tone.
"You're right, we are going to give it back to the Lady of the Lake." I said holding out my hand, in a gesture for her to hand it to me. All she did was back away clutching the scabbard.
"I actually have a use for it." Merlina said, getting confused and suspicious looks from everyone, "You see, I only had you kill Arthur so the scabbard will no longer have anyone to recognize as a master until someone picked it up. Now that Arthur is dead, I can fulfill my long awaited goal, and that is to put the kingdom into my own rule."
Once she said that, anger was boiling out of me. "You," I said pointing a finger at her. My voice filled with rage, "You will pay for this!"
With that, Merlina pierced the scabbard into the ground and disappeared. Dark clouds filled the sky and lightning cracked across it. I stand in that one spot, clenching my fists in anger. I feel a hand go on my shoulder, and I turn my head to see that it is the Lady of the Lake with a reassuring look on her face like she had a plan.
"There is a way to stop this." She said.
"How?" Sir Larmorak questioned with his high and irritable voice, "What can we do to put an end to this?"
"We use the four sacred swords to create a barrier around the castle, that should stall Merlina's magic long enough for someone to put an end to her plot." The Lady explained.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Gawain asked, "Let's do this!"
"The four sacred swords. The that means, Gawain, Percival, Lancelot and I must look for the barrier stones." I stated, grabbing Lancelot's sword and handing it to him as Gawain and Percival grab theirs.
Alrighty! That's all for this chapter. Sorry it's so short, but I will post the next chapter as soon as I can. Stay tuned for the next! BYEEEEE!
