Hey guys! Thank you very much for reading, reviewing and following my story! Wow! Already 25 followers! :D Sorry for not updating, but I was a little busy. :) Here's a new chapter! I hope you'll enjoy it. I don't own Merlin.


"Yes father, It's about Nimueh." He said. Uther's eyes widened.

Uther laid the papers he was holding on the desk."What do you mean? What is this about?" He frowned.

Arthur looked at the ground. He knew that his father was very irritable as Nimueh was mentioned. "Well," He started. "There are rumors that she has risen from the dead, and that she has been seen in the forest where we came from. I don't know if they are true, but our people are afraid." Druids were still their people, right? He wouldn't call them druids in front of his father. Certainly not in the same sense as Nimueh. And it would not really matter for his story.

Uther ran a hand through his hair. "How is this possible? What does she want from me?" He said under his breath. Arthur thought for a moment that he saw a defeated look in his father's eyes, but it disappeared quickly and was replaced by a look of determination. "We must show people that we can protect them well. We'll have to believe the rumors." Uther said. "We shall hunt that witch down." He growled as he walked away without even giving his son a look.

"Alright then..." Arthur said to himself as he placed the map of Ascetir with the new explored places on it, on his fathers desk and left.


When Arthur opened the doors of his room, he saw that Merlin and Freya were cleaning up his room, although it looked more like a little game. Freya wore a light yellow dress, probably gotten it from Gwen, and a blue Merlin-neckerchief. That's how he called it, because no one but Merlin wore those things. Merlin and Freya looked at each other and blushed as Freya quickly gave Merlin one of Arthur's shirts which she had worn as a turban. Merlin folded it up and put it in Arthur's closet. Arthur opened his mouth as if to say something, but closed it again and shrugged, when he walked in.

Merlin was the first who broke the silence. "Sooo..." He said awkwardly. "How was your father's reaction? Did he take it well?" Arthur sighed.

"No, not really, it could have been worse. He didn't shout and wasn't raged."

"Then, what did he say?" Merlin asked.

"We shall hunt that witch down" Arthur said with an exaggerated low voice and an angry frown. Then he sighed again. "But what does he want to do to an all-powerful sorceress? I mean, we were lucky the last time, when she just disappeared, although she probably just went practicing to get even more powerful or something." He mused. Merlin shook his head.

"No, I don't think so." he said. "Maybe she isn't evil anymore? Maybe she's changed?" He looked at Freya, who nodded to agree with him.

"You really think so?" Arthur asked unsure. They nodded to him."Then, perhaps we should give her a chance" He paused and looked straight at Merlin. "But if she makes one mistake, it's over." He said.


So this was chapter 12 already, that goes very fast! :p Hope you liked it, please review! :D
