New Plan

(The following takes place between the hours of 8:00 A.M and 9:00 A.M)

Merlin could feel the magic beginning to boil up inside of him. While Arthur and Mordred were discussing battle strategies and tactics on how they should retake, Hyrule castle, Merlin had snuck over to a field in the forest to train. If he was going to face Morgana again and didn't come out as the victor, all would be lost; and Hyrule would die with him.

His yellow colored eyes flashed open. "Inferma." Merlin said. A blast of fire erupted from his hand and burned a plant to the ground. "Sweet." He thought. "Eviney vinecticy arusul." Merlin said, causing one of the trees around him to start falling to the ground. "Veous." Merlin said; and the tree stood upright. "There's still one spell that I haven't tried yet." Merlin said. "Periculus!" Merlin yelled. A surge of blue energy flew all over the forest, slowing down time itself. "It worked." Merlin said. "Periculus sencas." He said, causing the flow of time to return to its normal speed.

Merlin walked back to where Arthur and Mordred were sitting. "So, what's the plan?" Merlin asked. "Well, I'm a little worried about Link and Zelda at the moment. So until we find them, we have to stay hidden." Arthur said. "I agree." Mordred said. "Okay, so we're all in agreement. But do we even know where to look for them? We don't even know where they went." Merlin said.

"Well knowing Zelda, she would have them try to find the safest place possible; probably a cave, and hide there for a while and rest." Arthur said. "But that means that we'll have to back-track all the way to the castle." Merlin said. "Yeah, and there's one more problem. The closest cave is the cave of death." Arthur said.
