Chapter 5: Awoken Power

I continue clashing my sword with the headless knight. The knight begins to slash flames towards me in the air with his sword. I roll on the ground to dodge them. I get to the back of the undead horse and quickly reinforce my sword. "Trace on"

I stab the horse on its back leg and the horse quickly falls to the ground dropping the knight as well. I quickly run towards the fallen knight's body.

I know I can't kill it right here and now, but I can probably weaken him if I take his head and get as much distant from his body. I quickly grab the flaming pumpkin head and book it deeper into the dark forest with the only light is the flame from the pumpkin head. Just as I am running I begin to see the scenery of the dark forest turn into a flowery meadow of flowers lit up by the sunlight. I'm running down a clean path formed in between the bed of flowers and in front of me is a giant blue crystal glowing ominously. "What happened to the forest?" Just as I take a step forward the crystal the scenery changes back into the dark forest as I fall into a lake that is in the center of the forest.

I begin to sink to the bottom as I take time to realize I'm back in reality drowning, but the pumpkin head is still light up with flames. I decide to drop the head and let it sink to the bottom of the lake as I swim my way back up. As I get back up on land I suddenly feel a hand grab me on my left shoulder. I quickly turn and notice its none other than Arthur with a worried look on his face.

"Seth are you alright you didn't return back to the house after you left me and Morgan where waiting on you all night."

"I had run into a bit of trouble. I saw the knight and well I managed to knock him down and take his head from him and drown it down the lake. Now I don't think that will kill the knight, but I think it did weaken him giving us a chance for a counter attack."

Arturia rubs her chin. "Alright then if what you say is true then maybe we can…." Arturia is interrupted by the sound of a horse galloping in the distance towards our direction.

"Quick hide!" I whisper to Arthur as we both hide behind a tree. The knight gallops towards the lake and extends his right hand towards the lake. Just then the pumpkin head floats out of the water and towards his hand. He grabs the head and puts it back on the empty hole where is head is supposed to be at.

"I thought you said it would've weakened him?" Arthur hits the back of my head.

I rub my head. "How was I supposed to know he could gravitate his head back towards himself."

The horseman overhears the two arguing and turns towards me and Arthur. He takes his flaming sword out and throws a fire slash towards the tree we are hiding in. Me and Arthur both roll out of the way and take our swords out getting ready to fight. The horseman gets off his horse and walks towards us menacingly. Arthur quickly charges first and clashes swords with the knight. As I begin to run towards the knight his horse gets in my ways and tries to kick me only for me to block his leg with my sword. "Nice try pal but something like that wont work on me!" I lift my sword ready to deal a blow to the horse only to notice my hands begins to glow a white color causing me to drop my sword. "What the hell!?"

Meanwhile Arthur is engaged in a sword fight with the knight. The knight throws flame slashes left and right back to back. Arthur dodges most of them but catches flame on her right glove. She quickly takes it off and throws it into the lake. She notices Seth's hands glowing a bright white light. "Seth watch out!"

I get kicked by the horse in my stomach having all the air leave my body and sending me flying to a tree. My back hits the tree trunk hard and I end up falling to the ground my vision begins to get blurry. I faintly hear Arthur yelling my name.

Arturia notices Seth getting kicked hard and hitting a tree trunk. "Seth!" She attempts to run towards him, but she suddenly begins to feel a sharp pain in her chest. She sees a sword sticking out through her chest.

I notice Arthur fall to the floor as the knight takes his sword out of Arthur. I try to get up, but my body won't move. I begin to hear a loud deep voice. "O king of kings use the royal magic within your body to save your comrade."

I begin to feel a surge of power pulsing in my body. My hands begin to glow again, and I can stand up. The knight notices me and draws his sword out again. The knight begins to slash flames at me, but I manage to dodge with ease as I feel the magical energy flowing in my body. When I get close enough to the knight he swings his sword at me, but I block it with my sword and I knock his sword out of his hand. I then slice his head off and stick my hand inside the hole where his neck should be at.

With this awoken power within I begin to absorb the dark magic within the knight causing him to move around in pain as I hold on tightly. The more I absorb the more and more the knight and his horse begin to vanish until there is nothing left of them.

I look towards Arthur and see him moving in pain. I run up to him. "Seth you used magic?"

I nod "I guess I did, I know your going to have me executed for using magic but at least then let me heal you with this magic." I begin to take off Arthurs armor.

"No Seth wait." Arthur tries to yell out but it's too late.

I quickly take off Arthurs under shirt but to my surprise I am shocked. My face begins to heat up and I turn the other way. "So, you were actually a girl this whole time?"

Arthur smirks. "You weren't the only one with a secret to hide, but since you found out my gender then you should know my real name is Arturia." She begins to cough out blood and I quickly put my hands near her breasts and begin to close her wounds and absorbing any traces of dark magic in her wound. Once her healing process is complete I notice black markings on my arms which appear to be my veins and a slight aura of the same dark magic from the knight surrounds me. I begin to feel a sharp pain in my head and I begin to slowly black out.

(Next Evening)

I slowly wake up getting up from my bed. I find myself shirtless and investigate the mirror in my room noticing a black vein mark running down my back. That mark looks like the same mark from my hands when I was using that weird magic. I better go and ask the dragon or Merlin what it means. I put on a shirt and open my door only to see Arthur or rather Arturia sitting down on the sofa in our living room with a brown cloak covering her body. She turns and notices me.

"Your finally awake. How are you feeling?" Her tone sounding a bit relieved.

"I feel fine better than before honestly."

She smiles as she gets up from the sofa. "I'm glad you have been asleep for two days straight after our whole fight with the knight."

"Right about that you saw me using magic didn't you."

"Yeah I did. And you found out I'm really a girl." She walks closely to me and I notice how feminine her face looks. I'm not sure on how I hadn't figured out Arthur was a girl this whole time. This causes me to blush realizing that a girl is close to me. "So…. What happens now then? Are you going to tell your father that I can use magic?" I ask nervously but what happens next isn't what I expect.

Arturia hugs me. "No, I wont now that we both know or secrets I can finally be more of myself and open with you. Hopefully you will do the same since I know your secret."

I wrap my arms around her and smile a bit. "I promise ill be more open with you now."

(In the dungeon below the castle of Camelot)

Merlin is seen standing on the edge of the cliff to where the dragon is encaged. The great dragon flies in front of Merlin and roars.

"This would be the last place id expect to see you Merlin." The dragon says with a hint of anger in his voice.

"I need your help." Merlin says with a dead serious tone in his voice.

"My help my this must be something very serious." The dragon mocks.

"Its about the boy, I think he has awakened a magic that isn't of this world but of the Shadow Land. And after his first use of it his body is already slightly corrupted. This is beyond my knowledge of magic and I need to know if there is a way I can take that small corruption out of him or at least a way to prevent him from using this magic again."

"Magic from the shadowland is very powerful and dark but unfortunately it is up to the boy on weather he wants to use the magic or not Afterall it is in his blood. As to cure him of his slight corruption that is not possible he can only learn how to control it and how to do that is beyond me Merlin."

Merlin looks down. "I see."

"But there is someone who knows on how to control this very corruption, the boy's mother but she currently resides in the shadowland."

"Thank you for this knowledge." Ignis.

"I haven't heard anyone call me by my true name in a very long time. Despite our differences you must do everything in your power to save the boy from his future Merlin."
