But since i delayed the story i'll have another chapter up today or tomorrow.

Merlin groaned when he woke up.
His head was killing him. His eyes fluttered opened and he almost wished he kept them closed.
He saw a man with the most hideous face he had ever seen and milky white eyes.
"You're ugly" Merlin mumbled looking up groggily.
The man sneered, "You aren't the first to say it." He mumbled.
Merlin felt bad for half a second before he remembered he had been knocked out and tied to a chair.
"What do you want from me?" Merlin asked.
"Nothing, just your death." He said standing up and grabbing a knife off of his table and inching closer to him.
Merlin's eyes flashed gold, "Sentio eius, et tormento interrogemus eum,"
The man flew back and groaned in pain before breaking out into a seizure.
Merlin stood up out of his chair and brushed off his jacket while bending down to look at the man moaning in pain.
Merlin eyed him carefully before putting a finger in the middle of his head, "Auxilium" he muttered before looking grudgingly in the man's white eyes.
"You're a medium." He said.
"My mistress was right, so was your guardian." the man sneered.
"Gaius?" Merlin asked in complete concentration now.
The man remained silent and Merlin's eyes flashed gold.
The sight of Camelot in the distance made Cordelia sigh, she had been to Camelot a few times.
Usually three or four visits out of the year.
She would never admit it but she enjoyed coming to Camelot.
It was beautiful and she usually spent her time with Gwendolyn.
She had no one but her teachers and mother to keep her company and Elliot was always in the square.
So whenever she was with Gwendolyn, it felt natural to just talk to her, whether it be bragging about clothes or just laughing about their studies.
Plus she often daydreamed about being Llacheu's bride.
He was tall and older and his hazel eyes and blonde hair... Cordelia heaved out a sigh in the thought.
Noticing Elliott looked over at her and raised a brow, he enjoyed coming to Camelot too.
He, Thomas, and Llacheu got on well, plus Esmeralda got over her huge crush on him which was a relief.
"We should arrive before mid-morning." Sir Astir, the head knight, informed.
Mithian looked over to Cordelia and Elliot and smiled, "We're almost there my loves." She said.
Elliott and Cordelia gave each other small looks before following Astir through the woods and to the castle.
Her mother made quiet chatter with Sir Astir and the other knights while Elliot and Cordelia talked about the Pendragons'.
Llacheu felt like he was going to explode as he watched his parents eat and talk.
He gripped his fork and glared as his father began eating.
Llacheu felt so angry, what of all those times he asked of Camelot's history?
He had lied to him, betrayed his trust.
"Thomas, why don't we ride out." Arthur said.
Llacheu tensed but he looked down and ate his food.
Camelot had ensured the practice of safe magic, surely father wouldn't strike.
Thomas could defend himself.
Llacheu began to wonder how many raids his father led.
"Of course father." Thomas replied.
"What of you, Llacheu? Would you care to join, I know Gwendolyn and Guinevere and will be entertaining Cordelia and Esmeralda. Perhaps you can invite Elliot." his father.
As much as he wanted to say yes-because he normally does- he shook his head, he couldn't.
"No thank you, father." He said quietly.
Arthur gave a surprised look, "You always come."
Llacheu gritted his teeth, "Not this time."
Thomas was about to say something but a knight walking in stopped him, "My lord, Nemeth's party is approaching. It would be appropriate if you walked out to greet them now." he said.
"Yes of course." Arthur said before nodding to his family, then looking to a servant, "Make sure their rooms are ready."
With that he lead them out to greet Nemeth.
Merlin impatiently tapped his fingers as he stared at the man in front of him, "Your making this harder on yourself, just answer the questions." he hissed.
The man glared at him with milky white eyes, "Some spirits are stronger than others, I can't disobey her wishes."
Merlin banged on the table in frustration, this man was getting under his skin mire than Arthur which was really was really saying something.
"Who is her?" Merlin asked for the hundredth time.
"I can't say."
Merlin took a breath through his nose, "What about the Laume or whatever or whoever it is. And don't tell me you can't say."
"I don't know, but I know someone who does." The man said.
"Who?"
"Luther, he's one of the main advisors in Gawant. He knows everything about the Laume and whatever else you need to know, he's wise and powerful, like yourself."
Merlin glared at him, "Why are you helping me all of a sudden."
"The man you used to love is outweighing my mistress." he said.
Merlin had more to ask but he knew the man wouldn't cooperate and Percival and Elena were waiting for him.
''If you double cross me, I'll be back for you, Hengist." with that Merlin left the old king by himself.
Hengist! And is Gaius the one who convinced him to help?
Who is his Mistress? What of Merlin's time in Gawant?
Remember to follow and review.
