Magic of Love
The Journey to Narnia: Part 2
No PoV
As the days pass by everyone had heard that Merlin had been injured and needed special care. And everyone on the boat never Merlin as a loyal and sweet young man. So when they found out the whole ship quickened their pace so they can make it to Narnia faster, so Merlin can get his cure.
And those who werent working or was on break would go to the doctors chambers and care for him so the doctor can take a break himself. But it was mostly Gwen and Morgana who went to check on him. And sometimes they would fall asleep during the night while caring for him.
And on one of the days they cared for him Arthur and Uther stopped by to see him. And as they entered they saw that Merlin was awake and was talking with them. And when Merlin looked up at the door he froze when he saw them, for Merlin had just told the girls everything about his life in Narnia.
" What is it Merlin?" asked Gwen with worry as she saw him grow paler.
" Look behind you" was all Merlin had to say, for when the girls turned around they froze too. And the Prince and King stared at them with confused eyes until Arthur broke out of his trance and said " still alive I see".
The girls relaxed when they realised that the men werent here to confront Merlin on his 3 year stay in Narnia.
" Lets hope it stays that way when we get to Cair Paravel" said Morgana with a serious worried tone while holding Merlin's hand. For she as a secret love for Merlin ever since she met him and has never told anyone, not even Gwen.
" What is this Cair Paravel Morgana?" asked Uther while staring at Merlin with a curious look. ' I will found out about your past Merlin, for I need to know what you know about this land'.
But before Morgana could answer his question, Merlin gave the answer for her " Cair Paravel is the castle in which King Caspian the X and Queen Susan the Gentle rule over Narnia, for it is the nations capital."
Uther was too shocked to answer so he gave a nod to return his thanks. Arthur was not impressed and he is still made that Merlin had met another prince besides himself and fought with him when Merlin is probably the only person he knows that is incapable of holding a sword let along using one.
" So Merlin, tell me how you know so much about Narnia?" asked Arthur with clenched teeth. But before anyone could say anything Sir Leon ran into the room.
" What is it Leon?" asked Uther.
" We have arrived at the castle my lord."
And when Morgana and Gwen heard this they hugged eachother and Merlin for they new that he would live and see Katie again after 3 years of being apart.
" Very well, go and bring some men to help Merlin outside to the docks".
" Yes my lord" and with a bow Leon left to go and find some knights to help Merlin. And in no time at all they came back and carried him out for the knights were already waiting outside of the main deck.
And when they returned to the main deck they saw a young girl years older than Morgana waiting for them holding a large vile filled with a red liquid.
And when the girl saw them she ran over and ordered the knights to lay him on the deck. And after they did the girl took off the cap and poured a drop of the cordial into his mouth. And in a few short seconds Merlin opened his eyes to see a young face he knew very well. And after she helped him up they hugged one another.
" I never thought id see you again Merlin" the stranger said with tears falling down her face.
" And I thought you were always the positive one" Merlin whispered which earned him with a hit in the arm.
" Can you blame me for missing you Merlin, its been 3 years since we saw you."
" Well, I did promise to come back didnt I?"
" Yeah, so..."
"So you shouldnt have to cry then."
But before their rant could continue a cough was heard next to them. They both turned to see everyone staring at them looking very confused.
" Merlin, who is this girl?" asked Arthur sounding rather annoyed with no knowing what was going on.
Merlin put a hand on her shoulder and said " This young women is Queen Lucy the Valiant of Narnia."
Lucy gave a bow to the visiting royals and said " Welcome to Cair Paravel, my family has been waiting for you."
" Then shal we be off my lady?" said Gwen
" Yes, let us be off"
The Castle
Merlin's PoV
As we reached the main gate to the castle I started to get excited for I was moments away from seeing the women who I feel in love with during my stay at the castle.
And when we reached the gate I saw two figured standing on the steps to greet us, and with one look I know exactly who they are. And as I helped Morgana down from her horse I kept thinking if they remembered not to tell my secret.
And as we stepped up to see them all of the memories I had here came back to me. And all the people I meet i couldnt stop thinking about.
But I was torn out of my thoughts by a voice saying " Welcome to our home, I hope you will enjoy your stay with us". And I knew from the first word that it was Susan and Caspian here, but were was Katherine?
" My dear Queen Susan no one has ever not been comfortable with you being the great hostess that you are" I said to draw their attention to me. Susan and Caspian looked over at me with wide eyes, for they probably thought I wasnt gonna show up.
Susan was the first to get over her shock, for she was a fast women.
" Merlin dear, how nice of you to come back to us" she said when I went up to greet her. And she didnt look different at all. She was still know as the most beautiful queen around this region. And many of the men who fawned over her upset when they found out she was to marry Caspian.
" Its nice to be back Susan and might I say you and Caspian havent aged a day" and this made Susan giggle and Caspian laugh.
" You always were the suck up Merlin" said Caspian as he came over and shook my hand.
And before it looked like anyone was going to interupt this little reunion a voice was heard from behind Susan and Caspian.
" Merlin?"
I look over to see the one I have been thinking of since the letter arrived.
" Katherine"
And that the next chapter i hope to update soon
