Part 9 The Druids Warnings

(Authors Note: I own nothing! I hope you like it so far. I want more reviews! Please? Back to Merlin's perspective.)

I woke up to Arthur tucking the cloaks around me. He started when he saw I was awake. Sitting down next to me he sighed.

"How is it I've known you for, what six years now?" I shook my head.

"Seven and a half years." I corrected rubbing sleep from my eyes and yawning.

"Seven and a half years, and you have scars that are less than seven and a half years old that I don't know about? How is that?" I shrugged non-committaly

"You know me Arthur, I'm clumsy. I trip O have accidents." I was evading the question and he knew it. He sighed.

"Go back to sleep you idiot." I turned away from him and followed his advice. I dreamed this time. But it was more than a dream. I stood in a forest clearing with a cloaked figure.

"My Lord Emrys, you must be cautious. The Lady Ravana is beyond mortal injury now. She can only be destroyed by the light. She will come after you again." It was one of the druids who helped me. A woman by the name of Diana.

"What do you mean Diana?" She shook her hooded head.

"I can say no more my lord. I am sorry." I blinked and the dream faded. I was staring up at the face of Giaus. He smiled.

"Welcome back Merlin." I blinked at him. My mind was still trying to catch up with my mouth.

"Did I go somewhere?" I asked groggily. Giaus laughed.

"Give it a minute, you'll remember." He turned to the other people in the room, my room.

"He's awake. A little disoriented from blood loss but he'll be fine." Good I'll be fine. Memory was creeping back. Ravana was still alive. Crap.

"Good." Arthur's voice, relief edging around forced annoyance.

"He won't be able to work for at least a week though." Arthur actually did sigh, truly annoyed at that. Giaus came back over to me with a bottle in his hand.

"Drink this, it will help you sleep." Before I could protest that Ravana was still alive and I had to stop her, the bottle was pressed to my lips and I drank. Soon I sank back into the crushing black oblivion.
