I know, It's been like two weeks since I updated. I was busy writing some other stories (and waiting hopefully for reviews). Anyway, here is chapter 21.
"Your choice, Merlin. Your destiny or your one true love."
Merlin stood there motionless. He was thinking about how to save both of them when...
"Leave me, Merlin" came Reya's feeble voice. "It's Arthur you need to protect, not me.
"Oh such a brave one you are."Morgana commended Reya, sticking the knife closer to her throat as she said it. It had started to draw blood.
"Let her go, Morgana." Arthur growled.
Merlin made his decision.
He went after Arthur and tried to break apart the chains.
Morgana was surprised. He didn't go after Reya. Well, maybe I can fix that Morgana said. Morgana bound Reya then in the same chains as Arthur was bound in. Morgana then proceeded to say a spell. This spell caused Reya to scream and writhe in pain. Merlin turned, looked at Reya, and then went back to try and free Arthur. Morgana then proceeded to do it more painfully to Reya. Reya screamed and then finally, she stopped. Merlin looked now and immediately got up and tried to run to Reya, but was stopped by now Arthur's screams by the same spell.
Merlin was trapped.
"Morgana, what do you want?"
"You. Dead." she said with spite.
"All right, you win. I surrender, just bring me before your dragon."
Merlin was then tied up in chains and was on his knees before Morgana. Morgana slapped him a couple of times for good measure. Then Morgana called Aithusa to her. "Kill him." she commanded. Aithusa looked upon Merlin. She remembered him as all dragons remember their summoner. Then a voice came into her head.
Aithusa it said. I am not going to hurt you. You remember me, I know you do. Nod if you remember me. Aithusa nodded as she walked closer to the kneeling figure in front of her. I can help you if you help me. Right now, I need you to do exactly what I say, Ok?
Ok. but promise me you will not hurt Morgana.
"Ok. but now I need to to breathe fire on me."
But... I'll kill you.
"No, you won't, Just trust me."
No...
"Nun de ge dei s'eikein kai emois epe'essin hepesthai!" Merlin suddenly yelled.
Aithusa blew a column of fire directly on Merlin.
Merlin's caught in a fiery inferno. What will happen next? Review, review, review pleeeaase.
