By the way, Merlin got better a few days ago, but Hunith was Hunith, so it has been a week.

Let's Go On An Adventure

One week later, a weakened but nonetheless healthy Merlin reached Camelot. His mother had been fussing at him for the last few days, and he had been missing Arthur's prattish attitude (not that he'd admit it).

However, the city was dead when he reached the castle. Everyone was asleep. Only the animals seemed to be awake, and as Merlin weaved past the bodies, he was overcome with worry.

They must have caught what I had... Merlin looked around the courtyard. "Hello?"

No one answered.

The Dragon. Merlin started sprinting for the dungeons. He'd know what to do.

-Another change: Merlin visits the dragon before Gaius because he is being smart and realizes that he is probably asleep.

-Whoever delivered Merlin to Ealdor probably went straight back to Camelot.
