"I do not know what you're up to, Merlin. If it were up to me, I would never have come!" growled the Dragon angrily as it flapped his wings in the night sky. Merlin's couldn't properly listen to the Dragon for the wind clapped on his ears, making him slightly deaf. Merlin held on the Dragon's scales desperately, only focusing on gripping tightly and surviving as the Dragon whooshed on.

Merlin had called the Great Dragon after it left in determination after their talk about the unsettling fact that Mordred possessed the Excalibur. He was thankful that he was a Dragon lord, able to call the Dragon at any time, any place and for any reason. Although the Dragon was forced to listen, it did not mean the Dragon listened with a smile. Merlin wouldn't tell the Dragon what he was up to, but that he wanted to go meet Enygues; days away if Merlin were to travel on foot.

As the Great Dragon finally flew over the seas, Merlin held tighter. The thought of falling in a vast water of darkness was frightening for Merlin to imagine.

"Can you fly slower?"

"I cannot hear you Merlin." The Dragon said, still flying hurriedly.

"I said!" Merlin yelled, swallowing the big gulp of air as he reached closer to the Dragon's ear. The wind rippled in Merlin's hair wildly. "Can you fly slower? SLOWER!"

"Hold on! Hold on!" the Dragon yelled back. He flapped a bit slower causing Merlin to grip on the Dragons horns and look down. As the Dragon found a slower pace, he tilted his head. "What did you say?"

Merlin picked his head up and felt it spin. "I said…. can you fly slower…"

"I think I am doing that right now…"

Merlin shook his head and looked around as he loosened his grip on the Dragon. The seas looked still and reflected the moonlight as the clouds sailed in the twinkling sky.

"How many people can say they've flown on a Dragons back…?" Merlin said, admiring his view.

"Few have done so, Merlin. And they say many more will do so in the future."

"You think Dragons will ever be accepted again?" Merlin asked, curious about the Dragon's outlook.

"They already are, Merlin. Just not in Camelot. "

"Right..." Merlin said, feeling embarrassed. He looked ahead and spotted what seemed to be the shores of Carmarthen. "Hey look we are almost there!"

"Very astute, young warlock."

"Come on!" Merlin patted on the Dragon, signaling the Dragon to go faster. The Dragon titled to the left and sought out Enygues.


*Knock knock*

Merlin heaved in a sigh and looked around as the Dragon flew in circles above.

The door swung open as a little face popped out. Enygues looked paler and weaker than ever, causing Merlin to feel a twinge of concern.

"Enygues?"

"Hello young boy. Merlin, is it?"

"Uh.. Yes.."

A look of complete disappointment overcame Enygues as she stood still, looking down for some time. She finally nodded shortly and sighed.

"Come in."

Merlin awkwardly walked in the home, and waited for her to talk.

"How are you?"

"Not well. How about yourself?" Enygues replied confidently as she sat on her plush chair."Sit down."

Merlin hesitated but then sat down in concern. "Uh- I'm fine. May , May I know why you not well?"

It was easy to tell that Enygues was not well. The twinkle that used to be in her eye was dull, her face was thin and skin was meek. Her overall confidence weakened.

"Oh you know.. It's part of life." Enygues said, coming closer as she placed her fingers together. "Now enough about me. You want to know how to use the travelling spell."

"How-how did you know?" Merlin stuttered perplexed. It was true- Merlin wanted to know the travelling spell. Why- the first time Merlin ever met Enygues, it was to retrieve a boat to get to Camelot when Alvarr was alive. Enygues had proposed a very intriguing idea- that was, to teach Merlin how to teleport himself from one place to another by using a special spell only the most powerful wizards could use. Enygues claimed no one can use it, not even her, except Merlin.

"You are wasting time by asking me this- I know many things you do not know."

Merlin nodded. "So.. will.. you show me?"

"I will Merlin. Come on now."


Merlin ran inside Enygues's home with a grin on his face.

"It's worked! I can't believe it!" Merlin stated eagerly as he approached Enygues on her chair, sitting anxiously. Merlin just teleported himself from Enygues's home to outside her home in a cinch. "It didn't even take that long! It's incredible. Why do you think it didn't take me that long to learn it! Is it because of who I am? What other…"

"Good. Good." Enygues said looking nervous, fidgeting with her dress. She was looking paler and more nervous.

"Enygues…" Merlin said lowering himself. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, yes.."

"Are you sure?" Merlin asked. "You look …like something is wrong."

"I am tired." Enygues said weakly.

"Oh.." Merlin said getting up, coming to his senses. "OH! I – I'm so sorry. I didn't even think about the time.. it's so late. I'm realllly really sorry Enygues. I'll leave right now!" Merlin said rushing to pick up his parcel. "Once again, thank you so much for this.."

Enygues managed to smile and looked at Merlin carefully as he began to head out.

"Merlin!" she called.

Merlin turned back and waited for her words.

"Do the right thing."

Merlin paused before nodding, and smiled.

"I will…Thank you again."

As Merlin dashed on, he exited the home and looked up in the skies for the Dragon.

As the Dragon whooshed down, Merlin eagerly faced the Dragon.

"You can go now! I'm fine."

"How are you fine, Merlin?"

"I know how to teleport anywhere in the world."

"Oh and now you think you are better than me." The Dragon mocked. "Trust me Merlin, teleporting is not a pleasant feeling. There's a reason why no one uses it."

"I thought it was because only the most powerful wizards could use it." Merlin grinned as he stalked away.

The Dragon jolted back in shock. He never heard Merlin talk in such a way.

"Where are you going, Merlin?" The Dragon asked, fearful of the answer.

"Don't worry about me." Merlin said as he closed his eyes. In a matter of seconds, Merlin vanished.
