Right this chapter is just Allan talking. Telling the gang about Seren. Enjoy
"It all started fourteen years ago when Seren was born. Seren's mother died when she was giving birth to twins one, Seren survived but the other a boy perished along with their mother. My family were very close to theirs my father and her father were blood brothers. Seren had no family as her father was killed a month before her birth. So we raised her two years later my parents fell to the pestilence. Effectively I became her father but we were more like brother and sister. When she was ten she suggested that we take the blood oath." At this point Allan held up his hand and pointed to the scar, which had changed from its usual white to red and inflamed. "We are sworn to each other and the only way to break it is to remove the scarred hand. We were so happy then she used to tell stories about Arthur but she said these were the true stories, and I quote "not those Christianised ones you tell nowadays." She's a pagan you see but not the kind of pagan that the Viking type of pagan. She's a pagan from before the Saxons and England When Briton was lots of different kingdoms. Her father was a druid that's why he was killed. HE was from the wild outpost of England in the south where even after so many years there are still people worshipping the old gods. ..."
"And that's where I went when Allan never came back." Said Seren sitting down next to Allan wrapped in a blanket. "I found a little village of my people. I started to get dreams and the druid said they came from the gods. Over the periods of a year I built up a life, found a man." She held up her hand and pointed to the lover's ring on her finger. "But then the dreams became more frequent and I was given the chance to become a Druid. I was sent away to search and that's how I ended up here. You see I have seen my fate Bel has shown me in a dream. I am to help you until you win then I return to the south, find my man and become a druid. Simple really." She laid her head on Allan's shoulder and he wrapped an arm round her.
"What are you searching for Seren" Asked Robin. She shrugged
"I will know when I find it." Then she fell asleep.
