Chapter Four: Meeting Emrys

"And that is what happened Sire! Arthur told his Father

"Are you sure? I have never heard of any kind of creature like this" Uther Pendragon told his son with concern brimming in his voice.

"Yes and we lost good men today, and I am told if it wasn't for my servant killing the creature we would not be here now" Arthur said humbly. All eyes turned on Merlin

"And just how did a servant with no fighting skill, co-ordination, agility, strength or any other skill apart from cleaning floor defeat such a monster?" Uther demanded. Merlin hesitated he knew Uther's mental state was concerning and at the moment it would be very dangerous if he said the wrong thing. Thankfully Lancelot stepped in.

"Gwaine and I managed to knock a small part of its armour of and Merlin managed to stab it while it was concentrating on us" he told the king. Uther's eyes wavered between him and Merlin before turning to Arthur.

"Very well" he announced "Keep all outposts on high alert we must know if more of these creatures turn up.

As he spoke a knight with blood splattered all over his clothes ran into the room, his helmet was scorched at the back and most of his armour had been ripped off. He stumbled in as the guards prevented him from falling over.

"Sire the north outpost has been lost, we were attacked by creatures…" he began but quickly passed out. Uther looked around before getting up,

"We shall meet tomorrow at noon" he said calmly although the encounter had never of happened.

People began walking out the room as the guards began dragging the unconscious guard to Gaius's chambers. Once they left Merlin and Gaius looked at the man. They pulled back his armour and gasped. A gold scar on his chest, began to glow. It clearly read

Emrys meet me

"Meet me?" Merlin muttered after reading the sign "Where…When?"

"I don't know Merlin but it appears your destiny is not as secret as we imagined" Gaius told Merlin before covering the knight with a blanket."That is all we can do until morning" he said before gesturing to Merlin's room.

Merlin awoke with a start, a hand was slowly caressing his face. He opened his eyes and saw something that made his heart leap. Standing in front of him was Freya.

"Freya?" Merlin questioned

"Merlin!" she said alarmed "you must not follow, it is a trap!" she told him before screaming in agony and started being dragged from the room by an invisible force. Merlin jumped from the bed and opened to door. He could see Freya's legs being dragged down the corridor. Her screams echoed in his head. He quietly followed her down the corridors and staircases, until he reached a door. He could sense her in their and opened the door. He ran in and Freya was there looking at him in horror.

"Merlin no!" she shouted before collapsing in a puddle of water. Merlin gasped looking around, he was in a dusty room with cobwebs covering the corners. Merlin looked around a to late did he recognize where he was. Morgana's chambers

"Hello Merlin" Came a sickly sweet voice. He turned around and in a flowing black dress was Morgana herself.

"Sit Merlin, we have a lot to discuss" she told him raising her hand. Before Merlin could react her eyes glowed gold and invisible ropes tied him to a chair that had appeared from seemingly nowhere.
