It was like the entire room was holding its breath as the huge doors to the hall opened to reveal Enya. She was wearing a long Sapphire dress this time, with jewellery dripping from her neck and wrists. Nobody knew how much she hated wearing so much, it made her feel weighed down, but it was by her father's request and she'd do anything to please him. Of course the princess didn't notice the tension in the room, she merely stood on the right side of her father. She flashed a smile at Arthur, who was standing to the left of Uther, he smiled back at her in an almost dazed fashion. She was excited for the peace treaty to be signed, but also slightly wary, how long would they stay after peace had been stabilized? A day? Maybe two? Then she'd have to go home. She loved being in her own castle with her friends and teaching her knights everything they had learned in battle, but she was enjoying it here. The unfamiliar landscape, the huge castle with its own undiscovered corners and holes, riding Snowfire through the forest, Arthur's smile…

She was so lost in her own thoughts that the cheering of the council surprised her slightly, but she quickly joined in the clapping. Peace treaty was signed, which of course called for another celebratory banquet. Everyone shuffled from the room so that the servants could prepare the room. Enya hugged her father tight.

"I'm so happy for our kingdom father," she said excitedly.

"As am I, dearest daughter," he responded, but there seemed to be another message behind his words. Before she could enquire further, Merlin rushed over and grabbed her hands.

"Everyone's so happy, I'm so glad this has happened," he exclaimed excitedly. Enya smiled stunningly back at him. Boromir moved on to shake hands with the Pendragon's council.

"Merlin, I just had a crazy idea. Will you show me where you live?" Merlin froze for a few seconds before smiling widely at her and pulling her by the hands.

"Come on then! This way!"

Merlin lead the princess through alleyways and small streets until they came to a tiny house with a plaque on it that read Gaius Court Physician. He opened the door shouting, "Gaius, Enya wanted to see our home." The elderly man lifted his head from a book to smile at the princess.

"Enya, how lovely to see you, it's been years," he embraced the princess tightly.

"Wait you know her?" Merlin was shocked as Enya turned to him.

"Gaius was… a very good friend, when I was younger," she admitted. His eyes twinkled, "it's okay Enya, Merlin is the same. You can tell him." The princess turned to Merlin, reading the question in his eyes.

"You…" she lowered her voice so that he had to lean in to hear her, "you have magic too?" Merlin took a step back, eyes wide.

"You mean you..?" he was lost for words as Enya nodded seriously.

"Gaius was my teacher for many years." Merlin's face slowly spread into a huge grin as he picked the princess up and spun her around.

"Amazing! I can't believe it! How? Do the Pendragon's know?" She giggled slightly as he finally put her down.

"We don't know how, honestly. Neither mother nor father showed any signs and we aren't sure if there's anyone further back in our family," her face sobered, "and no, they have no idea. No one outside of our family aside from Gaius knows."

"She's strong, Merlin. I'd say as strong as you are," Gaius added.

"Can I see?" Merlin asked. Enya smiled and brought her hands together, cupped, and produced a small blue flame, "look into it." He peered into the flame and saw a much younger version of the princess conjuring a rope from thin air to lead Snowfire from his field.

"Amazing," Merlin whispered. The fire disappeared as she clapped her hands.

"It's scary, being in Camelot and having his power, but I'm glad I don't have to feel so alone anymore, Merlin." His name only sounded better coming from her lip
