So here is another chapter sooner than I expected hope you all like it
Chapter 29
Merlin followed Agravaine through the forest until he finally stopped and looked up at a rider on the hill ahead of him. Merlin hid behind a bush as Agravaine bowed his head to the dismounting rider dismounted "My lady"
Merlin narrowed his eyes as he realised that the rider was Morgous, back to attack Camelot again. Morgous smirked at Agravaine "Is the plan working?" she asked.
Agravaine nodded "Uther has been driven mad and is stuck in his chambers" he said smiling. "Then all goes well, Cenred's army will come upon a Camelot with no leader" she turned away "There is only one problem" she continued.
"What is that" inquired Agravaine Morgous turned back to him "You have been followed!" she cried and Merlin closed his eyes in despair as the two turned to his hiding place. Then he stood before them straight backed and brave.
Morgous frowned, "Merlin? The prince's man-servant?" Then Agravaine then frowned himself "This is not Arthur's Man-servant" he said. Morgous looked at him "really"
Agravaine nodded "Though actually I do remember Uther mentioning a boy called Merlin. Something like a sorcerer spy trying to get close to his son" he said staring at Merlin.
Morgous raised her eyebrow "You're a sorcerer?" she asked but Merlin didn't reply. She glared at him, "If what Uther says is true and you DO have magic then we should not be enemies, we should join sides, fight the tyranny of the Pendragons"
This made Merlin speak up "I will never be like you. Yes I have magic but I will never use it for evil. If we want peace with the non-magical people we need to prove that can magic can be used for good, not force them into accepting it; that will make them fear us all. Also though Uther may be a tyrant, Arthur is different, he will one day bring peace for both magical and non-magical people."
Morgous smirked "If that is really what you believe" she said "It is" Merlin replied. Morgous's face dropped. "It is no matter to me" she said "you are merely a peasant boy, you cannot hold much power. Though you have interfered in my plans, you will not do so again" Then she magically summoned some chains which she tied round Merlin and shoved him onto the floor.
"I wish I knew why you were so loyal, but I have more important things on my mind than your secrets" She said turning away from him and then growled "The obliteration of the Pendragons for one"
Agravaine stayed, staring at Merlin slumped on the ground, frowning a little. Then he turned and headed back to Camelot to replace the Mandrake root and have his revenge.
So that is the end of that chapter, what will happen in the next?
