Chapter 8

Merlin left Anna and Morgana with Will and ran to find Diana just like was told. They were to find Cenred and ..do something, they didn't determine what as they remembered, every time their plan burned on nothing, so this time they decided to go for trust they'll make it.

"Diana, here you are! Come on, let's go.." They met at the corridor and went to look for Cenred. Finally, after few minutes they found throne room, and Cenred in there, discussing with some blond haired lady, she was observed by guards and had a hand cuffs on. Merlin took a jug with wine and went into the room like he was supposed to be there and walked through unnoticed by anyone as Cender was too busy with that girl to give him any attention. He placed it on the desc next to food. Cenred knocked her out and Diana went in, taking all attention at herself.

"How dare you!" She shouted at Cenred. "How dare you Cenred! Who do you think you are!?" Everyone was looking at her with shock and wonder, "I'm sorry?" He was confused. "Oh yes! You should be! Explain yourself now before I'll do something rush.." Diana threatened him with anger in her voice. "Um, who are you?" He asked, couldn't remember who she is or what she possibly could want from him. "Are you stupid? You dare to ask me who I am?! Don't you have a brain!" She tried to length it out as much as she could, to give Merlin as much time as it's possible. He drag her out from there without anyone noticing, while Diana continued her show.. "Unbelievable! You're out of your mind! Finish what you're doing here and come to me as quickly as you can.. We need to talk! I will wait where I always do!" She informed and trying not to laugh she walked out of there, leaving Cenred with funny expression on his face when she was out of side she made herself invisible to pass by the guards and joined Merlin where they were to meet.

In few minutes they were chased by Cenred's guards, so Merlin did what he does best but it went a bit too well as he threw every one of them in the air and he demolished the Castle causing it to collapse. Anna noticed them coming after the little incident. "They're back!" She shouted, stealing their full attention and causing everyone to look at them. Merlin was caring someone.. When they were closer Morgana spotted who it was.. "Morgouse!" She shouted and ran to them. "What happened to her?" "She will be ok Morgana, it's just.. Cenred managed to knocked her out.." Merlin calmed her. "Do you know her my Lady?" Diana asked "you called her Morgouse.. She's your sister it's she? Merlin asked and Morgana just nodded. They came closer to the rest of their friends. He was attacked with questions by Anna "Merlin what on earth did you do?" He worked out she meant the little incident with the castle.. "I, um.. It sort of happened.." He answered. "alright, let's go.." He said getting on his horse with Morgouse, completely forgetting about him being prince and Arthur didn't know he was him and about he said the prince was there, but Arthur knew and he decided keep quiet, and talk to him later..

"So, what did he want from you?" He asked Anna and Morgana in their way back to Dambria. He was riding with Morgouse, Anna was with Daniel, Morgana with Arthur and the rest on their own. "He wanted to keep Dambria and Camelot apart, seems like he was scared of us becoming allies" Anna answered. "And assuming, you didn't know Lady Morgouse was there, why did you two went there? Apparently not for a nice talk with Cenred" "no, apparently not" "who is that Lady Morgouse anyway? And how do you know her?" Leo joined the conversation. "She is a friend of Neveres's sister" Merlin said didn't want to use her name with Arthur there scared he might heard it from his father. "Friend of Nimueh?! Are you out of your senses! Every time we meet one of her friends we fall in troubles!" Will protested "Nimueh.. I heard it somewhere.." Arthur wondered. "Damn.. There we go, I'll kill William when we get back home!" Merlin thought and gave him 'I'll kill you' look. "Oh, I forgot to tell you! Arithusa came back and brought few friends with her, they stayed in mountains with the rest, Kate already took care of everything.." Anna informed "Kate? Caring about my ..puppets? Really?" He couldn't believe, Kate was always like 'the perfect Princess' she would never cared about Dragons, he didn't want to reveal they have dragons to Arthur and Morgana so he used different description.. "Yes, Merlin.. Maybe you find that hard to believe but my sister isn't completely useless sometimes" Diana answered "that's not what I meant, it's just Kate doing "not perfect princess" stuff.. That's new" "I know right.. She came to me one day and she said she's tired of it and she want me to teach her fight with sword, I literally thought it was Liana playing with your spells" Will laughed, while Arthur realised something.

"Merlin.." He turned to him "Yes Arthur" "I always knew you're an idiot, I didn't know you're a royal one and such a lier" he added "Leo told you didn't he?" He asked after a moment looking at his friend "oh I'm sorry! But Lady Morgana guessed it and they were arguing about it" "that's alright, I should tell them long ago.." "Long ago you mean, when Diana and I joined you or somewhere in the past year you were pretending to be my manservant? Or maybe you thought about mention it in that letter you left while you disappeared?" "You're really mad aren't you.." Merlin wondered quite calmly "No Merlin! I am not mad, I'm disappointed that person I thought was my friend lied to me all year long" "well, I couldn't just tell you could I? And even if I did you wouldn't believe me would you? Besides its still me, Arthur I'm the same person, I just didn't mention few irrelevant details.." "Irrelevant details, is that what you call it?" Arthur couldn't resist arguing with him about it but Merlin didn't get the chance to answer when Morgause started to wake.. "Morgause?" Morgana said with hope in her voice. "W-what happened?" "Who are you?" She looked at Merlin "I'm Merlin, good to see you're ok, Cenred managed to knocked you out quite well" he answered "we are going to Dambria, would you like to go with us or shall we leave you somewhere else?" He added "what did he want from you?" "He wanted me to ally with him and help him with attack on Camelot so he will free my sister" she said. "I need to go back and help her" "nah, you don't.. She is ok and safe" Merlin assured her and she spotted Morgana riding with Arthur. She was shocked and confused. "Merlin I don't think she will trust any of us at the moment" Daniel said with concern. "That's why we are taking her with us so she can talk to Nimueh" Merlin explained "you know her?" Morgause asked. "Great! Awesome! Wonderful! That's how it's starting! Every single time! Friends of Nimueh equals troubles. If we end up in danger and will be running for our lives again it'll be your fault!" William made it clear. "As always Will" everyone laughed at that. And Morgana started to wonder what will it be like being Merlin's wife, all concerns and worries of evil prince of Dambria fade away. Merlin always have been such a nice person, there was always something special about him.

Mordred, Gwen, Leon, Percival, Lancelot and Gawain. All them sitting in the hall, eating the dinner with King and Queen, and princess Liana, prince Alexander and two pretty women.

"Knights of Camelot and Lady Guinevere, thank you for joining us" said King "seems like we're missing and Lady Kate" he added when the door opened and said people came in "ah, there you are! What took you so long? I'm starving!" Alex started "hold your tongue and behave like a prince you're supposedly are or I'll deal with you" one of them Ladies said giving him scary look "and this lovely person is Nimueh, high priestess of life and death, she thinks she can push me around because she is one of council people and she's pretty scary and you better don't make her mad" Alex introduced her "amusing you are.. I can do with you what I want because I can, and you better show some respect" she answered "and that is very lovely and completely not scary at all" Gawain said "I like to make good first impression " "and this is our court magician, Lady Crystall Le Foy" King introduced the other Lady "my Lord, did you just said Le Foy?" Gwen asked "indeed Gwen" he asnswered "Morgana is my sister" Crystall explained "I never knew she had a sister" Leon said "neither did she.. I never knew she or Morgouse, my other sister were alive. It is very nice to meet you all" "The rest of our court won't join us today since they have a lot to do but I'm sure you'll meet them soon" King smiled

"May I ask for permission to eat in your presence my lady?" Alexander asked Nimueh with the highest irritation "yes you may" she answered "my King I have task for prince Alex, has he any other duties to attend after the dinner?" She turned to the King "I don't think so, I'm sure he will be delighted to help you" "I'll make sure he will" she smiled evil "so, how do you like Dambria?" Queen asked with warm smile "we didn't have much time to see anything else beside what we saw coming here and some part of the castle and the royal gardens of course" Mordred started "but we really liked what we saw and to be honest it's not what we expected, everyone is so nice and happy" added Leon "and what did you expect? Evil sorcerers with pointy hats? The only one is Nimueh here, although she doesn't wear the hat too often" Alex joked "haha I think I'm gonna like you" Gawain laughed and highfived him "to be honest I don't know what we thought, as you know magic is banned in Camelot, we were taught magic is evil and now we came here and it's completely different" "you see , all magic people who ever attacked Camelot were doing this for the revenge because they lose something or someone they cared for, people who use magic for good won't show themselves as there's risk of being executed" King explained "I never thought about it like this, I swore to be loyal to King Uther and I never questioned his orders or decisions" "I don't blame you, at least you saw the truth here"

"So Gawain, how did you managed to drag Merlin to the tavern? This was always known as impossible thing to do" Liana asked "you drag my son to the tavern? Hahah oh you must tell me about it!" King turned to Gawain "He always tried to avoid taverns but there's no way I would, I think he was going there with me only because he wanted to keep me out of trouble, not that it worked.. At the end I got him drunk most of the time" Gawain was telling them of the time he spend with Merlin before meeting Arthur and Leon. "Hahahahah.. That boy will always find a way to get in troubles" King was laughing the most of them all..
