The Revelati0ns of Merlin

Chapter 9

The Kalix is a young woman in this story; she could be interpreted as a motherly figure.

Merlin was hanging in there, but they did wonder why he didn't heal himself. It turns out the blade he was stabbed with wasn't an average blade. It just wasn't any blade, it was a magical blade. The dagger reacted to the magic user's amount of power. It seems that the greater amount of power calls for a greater amount of impact it has on its victims, so much for calling Merlin lucky.

This time they had to go to The Isle of the Blessed. Uther would be accompanying them on this journey. If you are wondering who would run the kingdom, the answer is Gaius. Yes I said Gaius. Gaius may just be a court physician, but he has been with Uther since the very beginning. Uther believes he can trust Gaius unlike any other aside from his son.

Uther got that annoying servant named George to saddle the horses for their trip. While Uther thought all the servants were annoying, there was no one quite like George. George's humor was atrocious. Every time Uther came into contact with this young man he had to make a convenient excuse on why he suddenly had to leave the room.

The only reason Uther didn't get rid of this servant the moment he saw him was because he got his job done better than anyone else in that castle. George just couldn't seem to help himself when he had a chance to tell a joke about brass. Uther didn't understand what was so funny about brass. It was just a metal for cry out loud!

Everyone going on the journey was just outside the doors of the castle with their horses. George asked Uther "Is there anything else I can do for you, sire?" He looked like he really wanted to stay. He also looked like he wanted to come on the trip, too. You know Uther he wouldn't have any of that. King Uther does many things, but letting annoying servants' on trips with him were one of those things.

Uther quickly responded, maybe too quickly. "No I do not need anything else, you are dismissed." When he saw the servant hesitate he added "You know what, you should muck out the stables." George bowed and quickly ran to do just that.

They all sighed in relief once he was gone. That sure got rid of that annoying servant they all never really liked that boy to begin with. Why Uther made him a servant is something they may never know. One by one they all jumped on their horses ready for their oncoming journey.

The people that would be traveling were Merlin, Arthur, Uther, Gawain, Lancelot, and Percival. It was of great surprise when they got to the place of healing with no further problems. Maybe Merlin was meant to be here right now and nothing could get in his way.

The only thing keeping Merlin alive was his magic. They could feel the power of his magic just sitting on the surface. It did that to protect Merlin from further being harmed. His magic was like no other, it had a mind of its own.

Once they entered the area where people's lives would get "exchanged" the veil appeared and out came the Kalix. She said in a voice full of wisdom and knowledge "I have waited for your arrival; I could feel when the world went out of balance. I will gladly heal your friend."

Arthur spoke up and said "Thank you for doing this, your troubles will not go unrewarded." Arthur said that with the deepest sincerity anyone has ever seen him speaking with. It was definitely a surprise.

The Kalix said "Do not get me wrong, but I did not do this for you. I did this for him," She looked directly at Merlin with pride, "Such a small person for such a great destiny." You truly couldn't put it any other way.

Arthur set Merlin on the granite tabletop (On his stomach due to the on his back injury) where they usually always do the ritual of exchanging one life for another. The thing was they needed a High Priestess of the Old Religion; too bad Merlin killed them all. They were lucky that wasn't the case no lives needed to be exchanged today.

The Kalix walked to the table and gently placed her hand over Merlin's wound, she quickly chanted a spell that would remove the enchantment of the knife. Merlin's magic did the rest and it healed him. Merlin woke up and he was as good as new, he thanked the Kalix for taking away the enchantment.

The Kalix wanted to do something for Merlin. He never got anything in return for what he did to help Arthur. Without their knowledge she used her power to bring Merlin's father back to life. He deserved it for all he has done for the greater good.

All was right with the world until there was a big guest appearance. Someone deceased from Merlin's past came back for a big reunion with Merlin. It was his father. It was Balinor the previous Last Dragonlord back from the dead.

Since everyone was standing in front of Merlin they could see what was in back of him. They couldn't believe what was in back of him either because he was supposed to be dead. Merlin wondered what they were all looking at and turned around.

He almost started crying, tears of joy was what they were called. He ran up to Balinor and hugged him. Balinor was stroking his hair lovingly. They were having such a heartfelt moment they forgot everyone else was there. Arthur cleared his throat to get Merlin's attention and once he did he asked in an accusing tone "Is there something you want to tell us Merlin?"

Everyone was staring at him just waiting for an answer. Merlin still was in his father's arms. He was blushing and said "Balinor here is my father." There were a collective number of gasps. Merlin was really something there was always something more to him that they didn't know about.

Arthur realized that this all made sense Merlin was crying and was acting all depressed after Balinor died. He even told Merlin "No man is worth your tears." How wrong he was to say such a thing to Merlin about his father. Now he knows where Merlin got his gift of being a Dragonlord from.

The knights were very stunned. This was Merlin's father, how random. Uther had a lot of apologizing to do after what happened during The Great Purge. He lied to him and said, "Call the dragon; I want to make peace with him." that's exactly what happened he called the dragon then Uther betrayed him.

Uther imprisoned the dragon under the castle and he tried to kill Balinor, but he failed. Balinor ran away and ended up in Ealdor. That is where he sired a son, a son named Merlin, the one to bring peace and prosperity to all of Albion. The sad part in this story is he had to leave them behind because Uther hadn't stopped hunting him.

He would die before he'd let anyone hurt Hunith, if only he had known he had left her with child. He lived in a cave for many years, and one day his son found him. He needed his help; he didn't know that was his son. He found out the truth and later died protecting him on the same day that they met. That was a story of complete tragedy.

In the end they were happily reunited nothing could be better than that moment right there. They made there way back to Camelot. Even if Uther didn't remove the ban on magic he stopped hunting down people with magic. He only now gave them a trial if they used magic against Camelot. The law is still execution for sorcery. Death by the pyre is what they call it.

(A/N) Stay tuned until next time! The druids will be making a surprise visit for the next chapter, they are just so happy Emrys lived. They have to see him for themselves! Will Uther tolerate this? To find out wait for the next chapter.
