Chapter Ten- Devil's Call
Merlin could not grasp at the possibility that he was meant to do the opposite of what Kilgarrah the Great Dragon had told him. HIs destiny was not to bring peace, not to be a light to a darkness but to play Devil's advocate and destroy the known world. He still had his doubts that he was as Cardinal Strauss had claimed he was but then again it did explain why he was born with his unimaginable powers. But Morgana was the same. She was also born with her abilities. said a voice in his head as he walked down the corridors of the grand tower. But her powers were not as great and powerful as mine. Merlin shook his head.
Cardinal Strauss had told him he had two weeks to go home, spend time with his family and come back to await his immediate execution. Arthur and his knights, Merlin's friends were taken to the dungeons under the tower, inside the cliffside itself. They were awaiting their death sentence if Merlin were to run away. Of course they did not expect Merlin to do so. Antichrist or not Merlin had never given up on them and no Roman or Saxon could ever change how they percieved their sorcerer friend.
As Merlin walked down he passed more slaves piecing in the bricks to the walls. One of them was an elderly chap. He was thin from the lack of food that the slaves were getting...in fact it was apparent that all the slaves seemed in the same condition. But this old man with his white beard was so thin Merlin could see his spine and ribcage. The warlock took pity in the man, then a Saxon warrior approached the slave and with a claw tipped wip the Saxon stuck the old man.
Merlin watched the old man cry in agony as bits of flesh were ripped away by the metal claws. The Saxon swung again and more skin and flesh were torn off like paper. Merlin, watching with fury, felt someting tug at him. "Stop!" He shouted at the man but the Saxon would not stop. "Stop it!Leave that man ALONE!"
Without warning Merlin drew his sword, grabbed the Saxon from his helmet and sliced his neck with his silver blade. After doing so Merlin threw the body over the edge and with the head he looked into the open face. Eyes, mouth still open. As he stared at it he saw a twitch and its mouth moved, and in came a mysterious and earie, almost dead voice, "You have done well...My son."
Merlin's face turned into shock and fear. He dropped the head and spinted away from the tower. He ran toward a horse, any horse, the closest horse he saw and mounted it.
Strauss watched from the top of the tower through a telescope the wizard dashing through his camp and made way south toward Hadrian's Wall. He smiled with wicked delight as he stormed off. In the back of his mind was a voice shouting 'VICTORY!' as he had driven out the infamous antichrist and yet there was a second mind which told him that this son was too strong, will, mind and heart. He will be difficult to convert.

Merlin raced through the green plains. He could not stop the tears that dropped down from his eyes- but they were not tears of sorrow as they were more of anger. If he was the antichrist destined to destroy his world then he could feel the power of Hell swelling within him.
His gallent stead galloped past stone and trees, heading for the great wall that fortified the Roman imigrants. Hadrian's Wall lay waiting...Merlin turned his stead around and he rode off somewhere else the the left. close the Hadrian's but not exactly there.
Ahead of him he saw a cave entrance. Merlin just needed some time alone to think and the caves seemed like exactly what he needed- Isolation.
The dark underground tunnels were a labyrinth. To Merlin, this was what he was looking for. He stepped in and looked around the dim cave that were only lit by the sun shining through the mouth.

Camelot did not seem any different to her. Everything was going as usual. Despite now learning her husband was destined all along to bring an end to life as they knew it, she still held her idea of him as the fine, brave and pure man she fell so deeply in love with all those years ago.
Father Allen walked down the streets and savoured the lush world of city life. He did not go out often, in fact this was the first time in years he has ever left his monestary. Ever since he drove Lucifer away from Hunith and Merlin. As he walked he recieved many greetings and he somewhat felt happier there.
Morgana stayed in her room most of the time and only ever went out to the Hall when calld for to assist in magic. "Ah, the fair Lady Morgana." Came a voice that was very uncalled for. Zach walked up to her in the corridors of the Citadal. "Mind if we talked?"
Morgana chuckled sarcastically, "Yes actually I do. Your presence is not really appreciated here Zach."
"Oh, Morgana I'm hurt." Zach approached her closer, and closer. Too close for her comfort.
"Stop it. If my husband knew-"
"Ah yes, The Great Merlin Emrys." He snarled. "Tell me what it was about him Morgana, It was said that you had fallen for a servant of King Arthur back when he was a prince. That was what Merlin was wasn't he...A manservant for Arthur?"
Morgana shook her head at the handsom man, "That was his title back then, in secret he defended this kingdom with his life. Sacrificed everything he thought made him selfish so that people could live in peace and safety."
"But he was still a servant when you married him." snapped Zach. "You said that our status was the reason we could not be together and now you go off an marry a servant?"
That hit Morgana like a bell. Now she remembered him. The boy she had thought she fell in love with in her youth and was willing to run away with. The boy was not at all like Merlin. He was handsom, well built and was never clumsy. The boy was a dream. But he was too good to be true. He was a coward, and a selfish one at that. She remembered after a rendezvous in the forest they were late and on a threat of being caught. Zach had abandoned her in the dark forests when she tripped over a root and had spinted back to the city, leaving her to walk back in the dark.
Then she remembered the same thing with Merlin. A nice peaceful picnic outside Camelot when they were late they both ran to the city. She tripped again but this time Merlin had came back to her and carried her back to the city. Sure they were caught and Merlin was to be locked in the stocks for a week but still. That proved Merlin's worth and provided for her a comparison to Zach. "Merlin was never like you Zach. He is brave, kind and selfless. I married him because he saved me. From myself." She quickly found herslef out of breath. "I fancied you Zach...But I never loved you."
A flash of anger crept into Zach's eyes. "If I cannot have your love...Then I will take...your fury." Quick, he pinned Morgana to the wall, kissing her lips.
Morgana bit his lip hard and he stubled backwards in pain, covering his mouth with his hands as blood leacked. "Bitch!" She ran away from him. ran but he Zach was fast and he quickly caught up to her. She attempted to blast him away with magic but for some reason it did not affectb him.
Zach laughed at her confound look. He produced a necklace with an emblam of the Christian Trinity. "You like it," He meant the pendant. "It was given to me by the Saxon king to ensure that I get what I want. It protects me from magic so it will have no affect on me whatsoever."
There was fear and shock in Morgana's face. She did not know which was more shocking: his necklace that protected him from magic or the fact that it was given to him by the Saxons- Albion's most hated guests. "Let go of me!" She screamed with the top of her lungs.
"Where's your Merlin now?" Zach could not stop himself from his laughter. He pinned her again to the stone cold wall, and put down his breeches and he moved his erected member outside her clit.
"No," she tried but her mouth was covered by his bloodied mouth.
Ang waswalking with Sarah and Bryan through those same corridors. At first they were laughing and having their fun but then they came face to face with a horrid scene. Their mother, about to be raped by the same man Angwyn had fended off a few days earlier.
The three children smacked into action. Sarah and Ang tried to push him off with magic but found their abilities useless. Zach turned around and saw them struggle and luaghe. Soon the whole walkway was covered with Zach's men and grabbed Emrys' children.
Bryan fought some off but was outnumbered. All the while Zach had entred Morgana's bum whole and started sliding in and out of her. Seeing their mother in so much unpleasant pain, ANgwyn and Sarah's eyes had grown gold. Bryan knew this and stopped fighting. Instead he crouched onto the ground.
Zach was enjoying every last moment of his raping the love of his life and the wife of the enemy while Morgana attempted several times to escape his grasp. "NO!" Angwyn yelled and the two sorcerer children had blasted a giant wave of energy from their hands staight at their mother's attacker.
One moment Zach was in erotic heaven then all of a sudden he felt a gash of pain everywhere. He was suddenly pinned to the opposite wall and feet above ground. Unable to move. What? That was impossible. The pendant worked with Morgana. It suspended her powers and made them useless. But her children had pushed him off of Morgana and held him firmly on a wall. "I told you to leave my mother alone." said Merlin's son. "Now you must pay." Zach did not like the sound of that and then with a push in the air by Angwyn's hands he found himself through the wall of the Citadel and out onto the city. Then he realised he was flying down over twenty feet from the ground.
In the castle, Ang, Sarah and Bryan helped Morgana up and to her chambers. Then Bryan informed his mother of what happened and her, the children, Gaius and Sir Leon rushed to her.
Zach's Henchmen had been caught and executed immediately. Zach was not needed to be executed. His body was found seventy yeards outside of the city walls.
In her room Morgana had fallen asleep and Gwen was to watch over her. Gaius had said that she could experience post traumatic stress but that would soon come to pass and the physician had told them that Merlin's return might also strengthen her spirit as well. She would be ready for another day but for the moment she needed rest.

Merlin had felt a stab in his heart, an unknown feeling of hurt that caused im almost to cry for his wife. He hoped she was okay.
Hiding in the cave was not what he wanted to do but he soon found it hard to step out again. He had now come to fear everything including himself. The Devil's son and destroyer of the world was not what he wanted to become.
So, Merlin sat in darkness and listened to the drips of water on the floor. As he heard the sounds he noticed they turned into...a face. "Hello Merlin," It was Fraya, the Lady of the Lake, "Why are you so sad?"
Merlin had grown not to be surprised as much as he watched his first love return to him.
