Author's note, Hello to my awesome lovely amazing followers, I have two things to tell ya, both pretty exciting. One, I am going to do a sequel to this story called 'As Destiny Calls', though I can't take the credit for it, the sequel was my mom's idea, so all of the thanks goes to her, so mom thanks for the idea. But don't worry 'two world's together' is far from being over. And two, I recently discovered that this site has a sister as they call it, FictionPress, so now if your heart desires you can find my original stories there under the username Fall Storm. And I believe that's about it, with all that out of the way happy reading to my lovelies.

As the glass becomes clear.

Quinn and River managed to carry the still unconscious Merlin back to the apartment, though it was a struggle, Merlin is heavier than he looks, and the heavy pouring rain didn't help matters.

And on top of it Quinn was extremely confused, and a little angry, and Confused again, and really really cold, which probably wasn't helping her mood. She cursed the rain, cold was evil she decided.

She has magic, no way! She seriously has magic Wait she has magic? How is that even possible?

Magic wasn't supposed to exist in her world, but somehow reasons that she can't explain it does, it's real as real as the air she breathes, it was as real as the cursted rain.

But there was a part of her that was happy, happy that magic was in her world, and there was another part of her that was angry because she didn't discover she had magic sooner, all the things she could have got done sooner, that thought irritated her a little bit.

When they arrived to the apartment she explained everything to Arthur and the Knights, she left nothing out, including her new-found power.

Her and River had laid the unconscious Merlin on her bed, Quinn quickly set to work of getting him out of his wet clothes.

It was in the middle of fall in New York City, and they got soaked from the cold heavy rain, last thing she wants is Merlin of all people getting a cold.

When she was satisfied, when she dressed him in dry clothing, and when Merlin was covered with every existing blanket that she could find, she turned to a slightly worried looking Arthur, it was obvious that he was extremely worried about Merlin.

"He's OK" she assured him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"I know, I'm not worried"

'could have convinced me' she thought.

"Are you okay?" He asked looking from Merlin to her.

"Me, I'm fine, why?"

"Are you okay having-"

"Magic?" She asked, removing her hand from his shoulder.

"You are alright with it?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" She asked, handing him and the other Knights the clothes that she bought for them. The Knights took them and went off to change after glancing quickly over at Merlin.

"Oh I was just-"

"Arthur, I'm fine with it" she gave him an assuring smile. "There really is no need for you to be concerned, it's okay, I'm alright with it"

That was no lie, she was totally fine of the thought of having Magic, in fact, for the first time in her life she felt like the glass had cleared, everything was so Crystal Clear, and now everything made perfect sense.

Arthur satisfied with her answer when off to change himself.

Quinn looked at Merlin, who had stopped trembling and seemed to be sleeping peacefully now. She sat on the edge of the bed taking his hand.

'Merlin was okay' she told herself.

If she was being honest it wasn't Merlin she was concerned about, or that she had magic, it was the woman, Elitherine.

There was just something about Elitherine that terrified her, that was the biggest part that was confusing.

What was it about Elitherine that scares her?

All Quinn's life she had never felt that terrified, not even when her foster father came after her with a knife, not even when she found herself living on the streets alone, cold and hungry, the feeling she got from that woman was nothing but darkness, and she knew in that moment she had to do whatever it took to stop her, even kill her if that's what it takes. Quinn had to protect the world from the woman's evil, had to protect everyone from Elitherine's darkness.

Quinn somehow knew she had to protect the light that Elitherine wants to block out forever, she won't let that happen, not when there is still breath in her lungs, she won't join her side.

If this is her destiny to protect the world from Elitherine so be it.

"Quinn" River's voice brought her out of her chain of thought.

She tore her eyes from Merlin to meet River's gaze.

"Yes?"

"Your catch a cold if you don't change out of those wet clothes"

"Right. What about you?"

He smiled his goofy smile that she remembered so well. His piercing green eyes, his red hair, that always look like a bird made a nest, his freckles. Though he is the boy she once knew so well, she still can't shake the feeling that there was something off about him, but she can't exactly put her finger on what.

She can't pretend that he wasn't hiding something from her, but at the moment she was too tired to ask.

Shaking off the feeling she got to her feet.

"Your right. I bought too much for Arthur Merlin and the Knights, so there should be a change of dry clothes for you"

"Thank you"

Quinn gathered some dry clothes and headed for the bathroom, lost in her own thoughts once again.

When Merlin awoke the first thing he noticed was the solid warmth laying beside him, the second thing he noticed was it was dark, the third thing he discovered was Quinn sleeping peacefully beside him.

Her arm draped across his chest, her head resting on his shoulder, snoring like a hog, her long red hair lay over her face, and she was drooling on his shoulder, but she was still the prettiest woman he had ever laid eyes on.

Merlin carefully brushed her messy hair out of her face. He studied her for a moment.

She looked almost peaceful wherever she was. He wondered what kind of things she dreams about.

Merlin changed positions careful not to wake her, draping his arm around her waist he brought her closer, then soon sleep overcame him and he slipped into a peaceful sleep.

Arthur found Merlin and Quinn sleeping peacefully in bed together the next morning, and he simply couldn't help but smile at the site.

Although, he is surprised how Merlin could get any sleep with Quinn snoring like a wild boar, he was amazed that a woman can snore as loud as a bear.

"That's a site is it not?" Asked sir Leon.

"shall I wake them?" Asked Percival, moving towards the bed.

"No, let them rest, Quinn looks as if she needs it, and if you wake Merlin she's going to wake up"

"Yes sire"

There is another reason why Arthur is reluctant to wake them. He simply can't remember the last time Merlin looked so peaceful as he slept.

"Are you guys really from the Legends of Camelot?" asked River.

Arthur tore his eyes from the sleeping couple, and met River's gaze.

"Yes" he replied honestly, though there was something about this boy that he didn't trust, but Quinn obviously knew him, and he trusted her judgment, but there was just something off about him.

"Wow" River smiled "cool. I'll go make us breakfast" he said and hurried to his task.

"I don't trust him" Whispered Gwaine when River was safely out of the room.

"No neither do I, but he's obviously a friend of Quinn's" Arthur whispered.

"But I expect he is hiding something" said Leon quietly.

"Yes"

Arthur got that impression as well, but the last thing he wants is to make Quinn angry, especially knowing that she has magic that she has no idea how to control at the moment.

"He was to calm about all of this, as if he expected it" said Percival.

"You are right" he agreed.

Arthur glanced quickly over at the still sleeping couple. They looked so peaceful wherever they were, it made him slightly miss Guinevere back in Camelot.

Pushing the thought out of his mind he addressed his Knights.

"But let's keep our suspicions to ourselves, but let's keep a close eye on him, if it looks like he is going to hurt Merlin or Quinn, then we have no choice but to protect them, even if it's from him" Arthur declared.

All of the knights agreed without hesitation as he knew they would.

Arthur can't explain it, but something bigger was going on here, and it had everything to do with Quinn.

Merlin woke up to delicious aromas that made his stomach growl, reminding him that he hasn't eaten since the last morning before they left Camelot.

But Quinn still sleeping made him hesitant. This was twice that he woke up with her sleeping beside him, and he doesn't mind in the slightest.

As he watched her sleep she slowly opened her eyes. When her beautiful unusual eyes focused on him she jumped up, he was instantly saddened and missed her warmth.

He pushed himself up to a sitting position. Before he had a chance to say good morning, Quinn threw herself at him, giving him a tight hug.

"I was so worried about you" she said her face muffled as she buried her face in his chest.

"I'm fine, all is well" he replied as he returned her embrace. "I'm just fine, confused what happened, but fine"

After a moment she released him and explained all that happened, including her having Magic.

"You have magic?"

"It appears that way" she smiled the most prettiest smile he had ever seen. "It's as if another part of me that had been sleeping finally woke up, I knew there was always something missing, my magic end you"

Merlin's heart started to pound when their conversation came back to him.

"So" he said

"So" she echoed.

Merlin knew that there was something more to her than meets the eye, he was right, with her and his life here never have a dull day again.

"Come on" she said taking his hand and pulling him from the bed to his feet.

They looked at each other for a long moment, Merlin desperately wanted to kiss her.

"River made everyone breakfast" she said, stepping slightly closer to him.

"And I don't know about you but I'm starving"

"Yes"

Merlin's heart skipped a beat when she kissed him gently on the lips.

Even though it was so soft and couldn't even be considered a kiss, their lips had barely touched, but it was enough to make his heart want to burst out of his chest and start dancing.

Quinn smiled, then took his hand and let him to the other room that was connected to this one, and in that moment he knew without a doubt he would follow her anywhere, for the first time he understood what love was, and what Arthur and Guinevere felt for each other.

As he watched everyone from his solitude he realized something, he realize that this may be difficult than they first thought.

But he won't lose hope, he had faith and trust in Elitherine and the future she desires to build, and he shall do whatever it takes for her to reach her goal, even if that means betraying a friend.

Wanted to leave it on a cliffhanger, because I'm mean. With love to all.
