Sorry for the long wait! I have been crazy busy. Enjoy!
The first day flew by, and before Merlin knew it, it was the afternoon of the second day. Merlin still had to make the choice between Arthur and all of Camelot. It was a hard decision. Either way, people are getting hurt.
Merlin was having a very hard time deciding. He was thinking about the choice while walking down the hall, when he walked right into Gwaine.
"Woah there Merlin. You ok?"
"What? Oh yeah. Yeah I'm fine."
"You don't look fine. What's on your mind?"
Merlin sighed.
"My choice that I have to make. I need to decide by sundown tomorrow."
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't know! I just don't know! If I choose to go back, then I have to give him the map and then he'll attack Camelot just to spite me! But if I don't go back, then I kill Arthur!"
Merlin was close to having a panic attack. Gwaine grabbed his shoulders and said,
"Breathe Merlin. Breathe."
Once Merlin started breathing normally again, he said,
"Alright. What map is it? A map to a pot of gold?"
"I wish," Merlin sighed before continuing, "basically, if Sodan gets a hold of this map, he would be able to obtain magical powers and team up with Sebastian Trang."
Gwaine's eyes widened before saying,
"Wow. Quite a choice you got there."
"Yup."
Gwaine sighed.
"Look Merlin. I can't make the decision for you, but I can tell you this: Do what you think is right. It's cheesy, but it works. What do you think is the right thing to do? That is the only way to go about this situation."
Merlin looked thoughtful for a second before looking back to Gwaine.
"Thank you Gwaine. That actually helps a lot. I've got to go."
"Wait! Where are you going!" Gwaine shouted to Merlin.
"I've got to prepare! See you tomorrow Gwaine!"
Gwaine watched as Merlin ran down the hall.
Merlin ran all the way to the clearing, calling Kilgharrah along the way. When we got there, The Great Dragon was waiting for him.
"What is it young warlock?"
"I know what I am going to do. But to achieve it, I need your help."
"I see. What can I do to help?"
Merlin whispered in The Great Dragon's ear, and then watched as he flew off. Then he turned around to walk back.
Time had gone by quickly while he was explaining his plan to Kilgharrah. It was evening while he was going home. The next day was going to be hectic.
Tomorrow came far too quickly for Merlin's liking. He got up, did his chores, and before he knew it, it was time for him to announce his decision. Merlin walked into the throne room and waited for everyone to quiet down before turning to Sodan and said in a loud voice,
"Sodan, as long as you give Arthur the antidote before we leave, and I am there to see it, I will go back to Avalon with you, and give you what you want.
