Merlin felt a massive Pain in the side of his head as he woke up. Something was terribly wrong, he could feel it. When he opened his eyes he was surprised at seeing it was night but there were no men around him. He was alone. The full moon shone on him like a spotlight and Merlin felt something drip down his face. He put his hand on his face, half expecting it to come back red but it was only a little wet. Why had he been crying?

Then he remembered, it came back to him worse than the blow to the head his brother had given him. Sahara. As soon as he thought this he heard a howl of a wolf. But it was a howl of pain and a cloud covered the moon.

"Sahara!" He yelled, running towards where he heard he howl, she howled again and kept it going. The howl turned into a scream and Merlin looked on at terror as he stumbled past some dead knights. After another few minutes he saw Percival, his chest slowly moving. He looked away and kept running. Until he came apon Elyan, lying unconscious but alive. He sighed in relief and kept running, even faster this time.

"Sahara!" He cried again and broke through the tree's into another clearing. His heart stopped at what he saw. No one stood. The cloud covering the moon made it harder to see but the fires around some bodies helped.

Merlin's heart stopped when he saw Sahara, naked in the clearing. It was her, not the wolf. It was the women he had come to love.

"Sahara." He whispered, running to her side. She shivered and he took off his cloak, covering her with the soft Material.

"Merlin?" She asked in a terrified whisper.

"Shhh, its ok, Its going to be ok." He told her, cuddling her close.

"Merlin." She whispered, this time with a smile on her face. It was a sad smile, like she was going to berate him.

"No." He said. He couldn't lose her. Not after Freya, he just couldn't take it.

She pulled out a dagger from his belt.

"Please." She said, holding the dagger over her heart.

"No." He shook his head. "We will find a cure."

"Merlin." She smiled.

"No! Kilgarrah will have a cure." He told her. Kilgarrah was old, he had to have come apon a cure somehow.

"Merlin, its too late." She said, grabbing his hand and putting it on hers. He didn't resist it but just stared at her in confusing.

"No, We can save you." He said.

"No you cant." She whispered.

"I just found you again." He whispered.

"And my time is ending." She smiled. "Just promise me you will be a great king."

"I will, but only if you promise to be by my side." He let the tears fall.

"Please Merlin." She whispered.

"There is no point in being King if you are not with me." He whispered.

"I will be with you. In spirit." She told him.

She had always been wise, always telling him off when he did something that his people would frown apon and would always be there for him in times of need.

"Sahara." He whispered and she smiled.

"I love you." She whispered.

He sobbed, he had to do this. For his people.

"And I you." He replied and plunged to dagger into her heart. She sucked in a breathe and as she released, she would not take another.

"Its been an honour, and I love you, sire." She smiled sadly, and with that, Sahara's heart stopped.

"Sahara." He sobbed, holding her close. She was dead.

He remembered their first meeting, how she had returned to the city and after a while, they had actually become good friends. He remembered her telling him about her family, how they were in poverty and Merlin had personally made it his quest, along with Thomas, William, Jordan, Julion and Richard, to visit all the villages and help them. He had used his magic to help the crops grow, he had gone to every corner of the kingdom and healed the sick. He had saved so many lives and became the Prince that the people loved and many rejoiced when he was crowned prince.

He had her to thank for everything, for making him the prince that the people loved. He didn't even realise that the knights and Arthur were stirring. He just sat there, holding his childhood friend and his love. He just sat there and cried.

OMG that chapter was so sad but so great to write. I felt like I was going to cry writing that. I didn't even know what I was going to put and the words just typed themselves pretty much. Oh that was so great to write. This stories almost finished but don't worry. I promise there will be another story of this series. But on the other one I thought I might introduce or even bring back somebody. Can you guess who?
