Luke led the group of escapees out of the ocean and onto a sandy bay surrounded by Forest hidden from Morgana's crumbling castle. Elizabeth was still being supported by her sisters the agony caused by Morgana trying to get information out of her and then jumping into salty water preventing her from walking unaided.

Her sisters sat her down on a fallen branch just inside the forest. The men they had rescued were staggering up the beach clearly feeling all of their wounds. Merlin was still unconscious and slumped across Percival's shoulder.

Mary and Jane walked up to a large tree with high branches. Jane gave Mary a leg up so she could grab hold of one of the lowest branches and she began to climb up the tree. Elizabeth guessed their packs, holding all their important gear such as cloaks, spare clothes and cooking utensils- were hidden up this tree. It was an old trick of theirs. No one ever thought to look up, therefore it was a perfect place to hide things and a large number of their hideouts were platforms in trees.

Jane then handed Elizabeth some fruit and water. Elizabeth was so hungry that she didn't even register what fruit it was.

Jane pulled up her sleeve to reveal an arrow strapped to her arm. She carefully slid it out and rested it on her bow. Jane always kept an arrow strapped to her arm so that if she needed to she could shoot someone when they thought she was out of arrows and also so that if they got into a fight where all of her arrows were used she had one left to catch dinner on the way back to a shelter.

The men sat down around Elizabeth. They were all concerned about Merlin who was beginning to stir. Elizabeth watched the skinny man blink his eyes open and moaned in complaint, clearly still in agony although the salt had stopped the bleeding.

"Are you all right" Arthur asked

"No" Merlin replied "I feel terrible. I'm looking at your face"

A smile crept onto the men's faces. Clearly that was the best answer they could have got, if Merlin was well enough to insult Arthur it couldn't be too bad.

"That's one of your worst insults yet" Arthur laughed

"Clotpole"

Jane turned to the assembled group. "Do you know the area?" she asked.

"Not really" Arthur replied looking suspicious.

"Are you going to tag along for a bit longer then?"

"Guess we will have to"

Jane nodded and went back to watching Mary climb up the tree.

Elizabeth watched Luke, Standing off to the side. He had picked up his fishing spear witch was sharp enough and long enough to kill humans too. He had been caught by a bounty hunter with Jane when they were kids. When they had rescued them both Luke was determined to repay them. As the years went by he had repaid them time and time again but he didn't think so. He had been trapped with the bounty hunter for 2 months. He thought he owed them his sol and continued to be a close friend to the sisters. One of the few friends they had.

Mary had reached there hidden packs and through them down to Jane one at a time. She then threw down a length of rope, put on some gloves and slid down it towards the ground. There was a smaller rope witch was connected a steal rod holding the main rope in place, once Mary was safely on the ground she pulled on the smaller rope, releasing the steel rod and the hole system came tumbling down. She then began to stuff it all into her pack.

"Are you going to come with us?" Jane asked

The men looked towards Arthur. "Yes I think we will"

"Well then, you have to help catch food and carry Elizabeth's pack" Jane replied throwing it at them.

Arthur caught it and Leon took it from him, he had only a few scratches on him so carrying the pack would be less painful for him.

Jane fished a bottle of pain killers from her pack and handed it to Elizabeth. She sighed relieved that the burning in her back could go back down.

Before she even lifted the bottle to her lips, there came a cry of victory. Standing on a bank to the right there were four of morganas soldiers, all of them had crossbows pointing at them. There group froze, what to do now?

"Fire!" one of the soldiers shouted.

Elizabeth shouted a spell and all 4 arrows stopped the in midair and hung there. Immediately Jane fired the one arrow she had into the chest of the man on the inner right, Mary through a knife into the heart of the man on the outer right and Luke through his fishing spear at the 2nd man before his eyes flashed gold and water leapt out of the sea and crashed onto the last man before freezing solid.

Elizabeth then let the Arrows dropped to the ground. They were safe, for now.

The 3 girls looked at each other.

"We need to go" Jane ordered

"Yea" Mary agreed watching the dead soldiers.

Luke approached the soldiers and free the weapons from there chest's. His eyes flashed gold again and water from the sea rose up towards him and watched the blood off the tips. He then walked back and handed Jane her arrow and Mary her knife.

"You girls can be okay now?" He asked.

"We'll be fine" Mary answered.

Luke looked relieved. Elizabeth new that he would want to get back in the ocean; he was a very skilled sorcerer and had the amazing ability to manipulate water. This meant he spent as much time as he could the water could as he could easily fight off any attacks Elizabeth knew that he wanted to get in the water and away from Morgana as quickly as possible.

"I'll see you at the market tomorrow shall I then?" He asked.

"Yup" Mary nodded.

Luke then ran back to the water's edge, froze a block of ice and jumped on. He then shifted the water so that he was surfing very quickly away from danger. It was a matter of seconds before he was out of sight.

"We better get going too" Mary said putting her pack on.

"Are you good to run?" Jane asked Elizabeth.

Elizabeth smiled "I want to get as far away from here as possible. I never want to see that which again"

Jane nodded before helping her up and turning towards the forest.

I know that this is late again but I have exams coming up now so updates are going to be even less regular now.

all from Elizabeth's point of view this time. and I know I promised people leading back stories, but there has been a change of plan that will now be next chapter with Sefa and Daegal. and just so you know Luke is unlikely To make an appearance again.
