Chapter 8

As they made their way to the tavern Galahad cracked a joke which had them all laughing, but the laughter quickly stopped as they noticed the people surrounding the taven. Making their way in they saw two people who were the center of all the stopped activity. Vanora was speaking with them as she pointed behind the gentleman towards us for what reason they did not know.

As the gentleman turned around their jaws dropped, they all stood in shock, for there standing in front of them was Merlin and Gunivere. Arthur snapped out of his hynotized state pretty quick and quickly made his way to Gunivere kissing her and holding her close. Then he turned to address Merlin.

"Merlin, I am surprised to see you both alive but it is good to see you old friend,"

"Aye it is you as well Artorious, I must admit I was the one who brought you all back to life, and set the course for the reborn to return home. It has been far too long since we have all been joined together and we must give thanks to young Elizabeth. I heard your prayers every time you went into the graveyard, pleading with the gods to bring Artorious and the knights home to your newly built Camelot. I deemed you worthy and started the course of life by bringing back those you wished for so dearly. Do not ever lose your faith Elizabeth it was your love for these men that truely brought them back," Liz nodded to Merlin too shocked to say anything but smiled as she felt Tristan's arm go around her waist.

"Artorious I return to you now at a critical time. The saxon leader had been reborn, who did it I do not know. But what I do know is that he has a army prepared to kill Elizabeth and to take Camelot by force,"

"He will not touch our land," growled Liz at his words furious someone brought the saxon leader back as well.

"Young Elizabeth he is determined to have it, even if it means your death. A war is coming Artorius will you stand and fight once more for your beloved Camelot,"

"Aye I will,"

"Noble knights what about you all?,"

"Aye," replied Galahad, Gawain, Dagonet, Bors, and Lancelot.

Tristan turned to look at Liz for the first time unsure of battle considering the last time he faced the saxon leader he was killed, and now he had a reason to live for.

"I'm going to fight my hawk, will you be by my side," with those few words Liz had his decision made for him he would not let his Liz fight alone.

"Aye, I will fight once more but I will not face down the saxon leader again I have a reason to live for,"

"Yes you do young scout it must be Arthur to face down the leader, the future of the battle is unclear but I pray the gods keep you all safe," Merlin responded to Tristan's unspoken question of who would fight him.

With the mood of the evening changed the knights each went their own seperate ways for the evening.

Arthur and Gunivere

Arthur led his beloved Gunivere through the court yard towards the castle. If he was to train for another war he was determined to spend at least one night of peace with her now that she had returned to him.

Making their way upstairs to his bedroom Arthur had barely closed his door before he had a armful of his beloved. She wrapped her arms around his neck their kiss so intensifying. He walked her backwards toward the bed sliding his hands over her new body, learning each new curve that was for him.

Upon reaching the bed he had made sure to slide the zipper of her dress down midway to the bed and then finally removed it revealing her lushious body to him. Laying her down on the bed he kissed along her collarbone his hands never stopping making sure to touch every inch of her.

Her hands slid over his clothes she pulled at his tunic and slid it over his head before his lips reached hers again. He slid off his breeches and pulled her close their bodies joining as one as the power of true love spread through out the castle the purest magic that ever existed.

Bors and Vanora

Bors worked it out with Vanora's co worker of the tavern and them knowing that there was to be a war agreed with Bors to handle the tavern by herself that night so they could spend a night of peace together.

He had his arm wrapped around her shoulders kissing her as they made their way up to their bedroom in the castle. Bors made sure the door was locked before he picked his spitfire up in his arms kissing her deeply as he made their way to the bed.

With them being the wildest couple within the group Bors ripped Vanora's dress off as she ripped his tunic and breeches off. This was their style of love not slow and gentle they were rough and rowdy. Vanora biting at his collarbone as Bors grabbed every inch of his Vanora meorizing every piece of her skin.

The power of love intensified as yet another couple added to it. If they had known what they were doing they would have most likely not done so, but Merlin knew.

The couples that joined within the castle that night was creating the strongest force of power around each other. The power of love was unconquerable by anyone and Merlin knew those with love ones would survive the battle.

He just hoped that the mate of Dagonet made her move soon, for Gawain had Galahad, Arthur had Gunivere, Tristan had Elizabeth, and Bors had Vanora. She would though perhaps not tonight or perhaps it would be that night but either way he knew Dagonet would be with his chosen beloved from the fates, and Merlin was proud to know that his tribe would survive this final battle.
