Green led them further through the courtyard, Arthur and the Knights all gaping at their surroundings and the magic that was entertaining everyone. He led them up the main staircase, their red and green cloaks billowing out impressively behind them, and into the whitewash castle.

Servants skittered by carrying sheets, towels, and trays of food. Another servant passed, this one a tad older, maybe in his twenties. He had short, dirty blonde hair and dull green eyes. Green caught him by his upper arm, stopping him. The man threw Green a curious look.

"Simon, listen, can you take these people to one of the guest chambers?"

Simon eyed the new visitors with silent curiosity before he nodded.

"Thank you. Provide them with food and water, and post guards outside the door. Until further notice, they are to stay in that room," Green instructed. "And send Bryce along, one of their men was injured during the fight."

"Um, alright." Simon said uncertainly.

"You two go with them." Green said, pointing out to of the men in red. They nodded. "I have to report to Rowan, the rest of you are dismissed."

So they separated, Green going to meet with this Rowan man, and a servant leading the group from Camelot to a guest chamber with two other sorcerers behind them.

Arthur had to feel some gratitude towards Green considering he was putting them in guest chambers. It could have been the dungeons, his mind reminded him. And he was sending 'Bryce', presumably the Court Physician along to help Leon. All in all, this place wasn't bad in regards to hospitality.

After a few more twists and turns, Simon led them to a large door and opened it, ushering them inside. The room in itself was large, a little bigger than Arthur's own bedroom, complete with a rectangular table that sat eight, a large bed, a fireplace, and what Arthur presumed to be Terryn's flag, which was a golden tree etched into a royal blue background hanging over the until fireplace.

"This is where you'll be staying for now." Simon announced. "I'll send Bryce along shortly."

"Thank you," Arthur said to him.

Simon nodded and shut the door.

Percival walked over and set Leon on the bed while Elyan helped get him off Perce's shoulder. Gwaine sat down in one of the decorative chairs and put his head in his hands, his fingers interlacing with his long, dark brown hair, as Arthur leaned against one of the other chairs.

"Did that guy in green seem...off to anyone else?" Gwaine mused.

They all mumbled uncertain agreements as they sat down at the table, quiet as they all became engrossed in their own thoughts. A knock at the door interrupted them and Arthur went to open it.

"Hello," the man said. "King Arthur, I presume."

The man had short black hair that played into his brown eyes. He was a little shorter than Arthur and looked to be in his late thirties perhaps, and he carried a satchel not unlike the one Gaius carried.

"Yes," Arthur answered.

"I'm Bryce, the Court Physician. I was told that one of your men was injured."

Arthur opened the door further, allowing him admittance as Bryce walked in.

"He's just on the bed." Percival commented.

Bryce nodded and made his way over to the adjoining room. They all watched as Bryce first checked Leon's pulse and then inspected the bump on his head. He then opened Leon's eyes and inspected them before turning back to them, opening his bag all the while.

"Well, he'll be alright, just a bump on the head is all."

They all let out small sighs of relief as Bryce walked over to the table. "He's going to have one heckuva headache when he wakes up though, give this to him when he does," he said, handing Arthur a vial with a purplish substance inside.

"Thanks." Arthur said, pocketing the vial.

"I'm sure you have lots of questions." Bryce quipped smiling.

Gwaine snorted. "A few. Where are we to start with?"

Bryce laughed. "Well, you're in Terryn, ruled by Rowan."

Rowan. That was the man the Green had been talking about earlier. Ok, so he's the leader here, that made sense. And Terryn. Arthur had never heard of it before. It was true that they were a good distance away from Camelot but surely he'd have heard of it.

"I've never heard of Terryn." Gwaine said, stealing Arthur's thoughts.

Bryce grinned. "Few have."

"Why's that?" Elyan said intrigued. A castle that no one's heard of...interesting.

"The Castle of Terryn used to be home a slave trader names Zual a few years ago. Zual and his men captured Rowan's family, and so Rowan and a group of men led an attack against them and conquered the castle. Since then, it's become a sanctuary for magic users."

Arthur had to admit, he was a little curious about the magic. What they'd seen in the courtyard had been amazing and peaceful and if he was ever going to release the ban on magic, he'd have to learn more about it. Maybe this was a good place to start.

"So are we going to meet Rowan?" Elyan asked.

"Yeah, I assume you will. Anyway, I had better go," Bryce said. "I still have to do my rounds, sorry I can't answer and more of your questions."

Arthur nodded, understanding, and Bryce left.

"So what do we do now?" Perce asked.

"I guess we just wait."


A green cloak billowed out behind the tall man as he swept through the corridors headed towards the throne room. His fingers clenched and unclenched into fists that betrayed his anxiety and a frown played on the corners of his lips.

He turned a few more corners as the throne room doors came into view. He nodded at the guards, who opened the large wooden doors for him, allowing him access.

Rowan was sitting at the head of the large table, signing papers, the same thing he'd been doing before they'd left. His head popped up momentarily as the doors opened, his dark brown hair brushing against his thick eyebrows.

"Oh, good, you're back," he grinned. "How'd it go?"

Green walked closer, his footsteps slow and nervous. "Fine, we killed the Griffin without a problem. Oh, but Ulric was injured, Bryce healed him though, no big deal."

"Alright," Rowan said, his smile wavering and his eyebrows scrunched together. "Then why so you look so nervous?"

"Well...," the man in green tried. "It's just that...um...well..."

"Just spit it out already!" Rowan said amused. "And would you please take down that hood? I honestly can't take you seriously with that thing casting shadows all over your face."

Rowan didn't see the man roll his eyes in exasperation before lowering his hood, revealing a mop of black hair, anxious kaleidoscope blue eyes, and a nervous frown set on a lightly stubbled face.

"You're even paler than normal." Rowan said worriedly. He got up and walked over to his friend, his hands on his hips. "What's wrong?"

"Well...we weren't the only ones there when I killed the Griffin."

"Oh?" Rowan said surprised.

"No, there were five other men there, King Arthur Pendragon of Camelot and four of his Knights," he responded, his voice anxious.

Rowan's eyebrows disappeared beneath his mop of hair. "Alright, what happened?"

"Hm? Oh, nothing, we brought them here. They're currently in one of the guest chambers waiting to talk to you," he rambled.

"Why?" Rowan asked.

"Well, I told them that they could pose a threat, but I don't believe that, it's just..."

Rowan gripped his friend's shoulder, encouraging him to go on.

"Remember those dreams I've been having?"

Rowan nodded, intrigued.

"Those men...they're...they're in my dreams."

To say Rowan was surprised was an understatement. "What? How could they be? I mean, why?"

"I don't know! I'm just as baffled as you are. But maybe they know..."

Rowan had to think about what he meant by that before his eyes lit up with the same though. "You think they might know about you?"

"Well, it makes sense; Bryce thought it might be memories resurfacing, so it's plausible..."

"It's plausible that they know you, everything," Rowan finished, almost excitingly.

The man gave his king a nervous smile. "Maybe."

Rowan squeezed his friend's shoulder one last time and looked him in the eye; brown on blue. "Well, either way, we'll get this sorted out. You shouldn't worry so much Merlin, a frown doesn't suit you!"

"I think I have a right to worry," he shot back rolling his eyes. But even Rowan could see the tension leave his thin shoulders a little.

"Well, I think I'll invite the King in for a drink, just him though, see if he knows you. How does that sound?" Rowan suggested.

"Fine, at least it's a plan," Merlin answered. "I'd better go get cleaned up."

Rowan nodded. "Alright. Be back in ten minutes. I'll send for the King."

Merlin nodded and left, butterflies jumping in his stomach. Could these men know him? Merlin hoped so.

He turned another corner before seeing the door to his room. He pushed it open and then closed it, leaning against the wooden structure and breathing a heavy sigh. Then he walked over to his bed and launched himself on it, his cloak splayed over his thin form. He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down a little.

After he had, he got off of his bed and untied the ties on his cloak, throwing it across one of the chairs by the table. He walked over to the washing bowl and cupped some water in his hands before throwing it in his face, waking him up a little. Merlin grabbed the towel that was folded beside it and wiped his face down, making his raven-colored hair stick up at the front.

He rolled his eyes as he magically dried his hair, using his fingers to brush it down. Then he went to his wardrobe and pulled out his grey neckerchief, he tied it around his neck and threw on his favorite jacket. He finally looked in the mirror, and satisfied with his appearance, squared his shoulders and walked out of his chambers.

Well, here we go, he thought.

It was time to meet the King.
