Two weeks into living in Camelot

The two sisters have been living in Camelot for a total of two weeks and a few days. Ilona has been, unfortunately, doing her best to avoid Arthur at all costs. Arthur seeming to have grown quit fond of her. While Deannette has been doing her best to help Merlin, and Gaius, with everything she could possible. Currently Ilona and Deannette are down by the training fields as the Knights practice with Prince Arthur and Merlin on the side lines.

Present

"Come on Merlin hurry up. I have training to do and I cannot stand here all day waiting for you to clip my armor on me." Arthur spoke in slight annoyance. Deannette and Ilona were walking past Arthur's tent when they heard Arthur speaking. Deannette rolled her eyes and walked on in as Ilona stayed outside mumbling a few choice curses.

"Now Arthur, that is no way to speak to your manservant." Deannette stood there in the entrance and gave Arthur an annoyed look. Arthur gave her a cheesy grin as Merlin fastened the last bit of armor on.

"Oh come on now M'Lady. It is just a way to get Merlin to hurry up." Arthur walked around her and walked outside. Deannette sighed and glanced over at Merlin who was grabbing Arthur's sword and shield. When he looked up and spotted her he froze and gave her one of his goofy smiles. She quickly turned after giving a quick half smile and walked on out. Ilona was outside ignoring whatever Arthur was trying to impress her with. Seeing Deannette walk out she just walked away from Arthur and grabbed a hold of her arm and dragged her over to where Guinevere and Morgana were sitting to watch the training. Ilona sat the furthest from Morgana and Deannette sat by Guinevere.

Near noon Arthur was having a sparring match with Sir Lancelot. When the training ended Arthur was sporting around like a proud roster with his chest puffed out. Ilona rolled her eyes at Arthur's antics. Morgana just smirked and Guinevere always tried to hide her amused grin. While Deannette just sat there with a small smile as she watched all the knights practice.

On the other side of the practice field Merlin stood there. Trying to keep his focus on Arthur, in case he needed anything. But, always finding that his eyes kept roaming over to Lady Hallows. He could not seem to remember anything from before getting knocked out. No matter how much he tried, asked, and….sadly begged, Arthur and Gaius would not tell him anything else. All he knew is that he knew her and that she was, probably still is, important to him. Not to mention that whenever Arthur was in trouble he had a feeling it was not only him helping to keep the Once and Future King alive.

Not even Kilgharrah will tell him anything. That old Dragon would just smile and laugh as he flew away. Every. Single. Time! It was really starting to get on his nerves. He wish he had a way to remember.

Merlin's eyes widened as a goofy grin made its way onto his face. "Oh course! Why didn't I think of that sooner?!" Merlin whispered happily as he bolted from the training field and towards the medical ward.

"Merlin! Where are you going?!" Arthur yelled after Merlin getting only a fleeting wave in reply. Sighing in frustration Arthur turned and had another practice circle formed with himself in the middle.

Deannette and Ilona look at one another with curious faces. Ilona rolled her eyes. Deannette shrugged and stood up intending to go and see what Merlin was in such a hurry about. They both knew nothing was near to be protecting Arthur from. Though Ilona has made comments on just leaving Arthur to what he rightly deserved. But, in the end she always helped keep his head on his shoulders. Although reluctantly.

Deannette walked into the castle and made her way silently down the hall towards Gaius's chambers. When she got there she stopped in front of the door when she heard two voices. Both hushed but slightly raised as if in an argument.

"Merlin! You cannot do this! Do you have any idea how terrible it will be to know and not be able to show it?! It could kill you!" Gaius said as he closed the book Merlin had and held it. "I cannot let you do this."

Merlin tried to grab for the book but was unsuccessful when Gaius moved it out of his reach. "But I have to. I HAVE to remember! It may kill me but I am already dying from not knowing. Every day I feel as if I should be right there beside her but I know I cannot. She acts as if whatever it was as if it was nothing but I can always hear her cry in the halls. She hurts more than I do for me not knowing Gaius. I need to know." Merlin ended with a desperate note to his voice. His eyes pleading, as his body stance one on the verge of giving up. "Please Gaius. I am tired of not knowing. If I know maybe things will be better for us all."

Gaius studied Merlin for a moment. Soon he sighed and held the book out to him. "Alright Merlin. But be warned, if she finds out I am not going to be there to catch your head when it falls off your shoulders." Gaius gave Merlin a small smile with a pat on his back. Picking up his medical pack he walked out of the room closing the door behind him. When he turned he came to see Deannette leaning against the wall beside the door. "M'Lady." Gaius said in slight surprise.

Deannette looked up and gave Gaius a small smile. "So he is going to do a spell to make himself remember then. Stubborn isn't he." She stated as she looked down. "I could stop him. But I do not know if I wish to. It's been almost a fortnight and it still hurts as the first day had." She stood away from the wall and in front of the door. Soon she turned to leave. "I will be in my room. If it works, and you wish to, tell him I am there if he wants to talk." She walked off leaving Gaius in silence.

When she was gone from his sight he sighed. "Merlin my boy, I sure do hope you understand what you are doing."

Merlin opened the book quickly finding the memory spell. Studying it for a moment Merlin stood up. "Alright here it goes. Ut memoria velit. Tempus ubi animus semel sciebat quid sum oblitus. Plena meam ut sciant quid sit memoria mea cognoscit." Merlin's eyes turned golden as he finished the spell. Soon flashes of images and words were running at high speed through his eyesight. What felt like hours, was really seconds, when the spell finished its job. Merlin gripped onto the table to keep himself from falling over from the rush. Breathing heavily he went through his new found memories and thoughts. Sitting down he put his head in his hands sitting there until Gaius came back.

When Gaius entered the room he spotted Merlin. Worrying he rushed, over and checked him over for any possible injury.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Merlin spoke softly as he looked into Gaius's eyes for an answer. "Why Gaius?"

"My boy I wanted to. But it was not my place. It is Lady Hallows place. Which reminds me, she said she will be in her chambers if you wish to speak with her." Gaius moved around putting things back in place as Merlin sat there in thought. When Merlin finally stood up he looked back at Gaius with a small smile.

"I am going to talk with her. I just hope she is willing to talk with me as well. Though seeing as she passed that message on I think she is more than ready to." After a small goodbye Merlin rushed out of the room and down towards Deannette's. When he reached it he knocked softly. Upon hearing a response to enter he opened the door and slipped inside. After closing the door he turned and found Deannette sitting on the window seat with a book in her hands. Wearing a silk night down with her hair down.

Deannette looked up after a while of silence to meet the eyes of the one sorcerer that has kept her thoughts and mind. She gave him a small smile. "Hello Merlin."
