Chapter Seven: The Woman
"How did he survive" asked Arthur confused "its surprising enough me managed to take two creatures out but he breaks most of his bones and he still stays alive!"
"It does surprise me but according to witnesses he was blown onto the creature by a firestorm. Then he distracted it and he crashed it into another" Gaius told him
"So he accidentally killed two of the most dangerous creatures Camelot's ever faced!" Arthur stated
"Yes" Gaius told him "but he is in a sleep he may never wake up from and even if he does it is unlikely he will ever move let alone fight again…how is your father?"
"He is damaged after seeing Morgana again and if she had not withdrawn after Merlin's attack he could have died from shock… why did she want Merlin?" he asked
"I have no idea sire, they were close friends once perhaps she wanted them to be again… how he managed to escape and kill a creature we may never know!" Gaius answered
"No Gaius its more than that, and you know it, the look on her face when he walked over to her and the look when he ran, I have never seen her look like that!" Arthur replied getting slightly angry.
"I don't know sire but what she said means she may not have given up on him just yet, we must tread with caution!" Gaius instructed.
Night fell and the city still damaged went quiet, extra guards were on the main gates and patrolling the castle but they made no noise. Then one by one, every candle and torch in the castle went out. The guards could see very little. It was perfect for the woman walking into the castle. She had long blond hair with piercing blue eyes that seemed to bore into the very soul. She was tall and slim, walking she moved towards Gaius chambers. "Whose there!" A guard called
"Sleeperexorn covarterra nekotara maniateronara" she whispered, her eyes shone gold and the guard collapsed. She smiled sadly and entered the physicians room. Gaius was asleep and with a flash of her eyes, he stayed that way. Then she slowly moved over to the table Merlin was balanced upon. She held his hand and brought it to her chest. She smiled and looked directly at him
"Waxerouxanar" she said softly and Merlin eyes flickered open. She held his hand tightly
"Hello Merlin" she said "Its good to see you…look only you can stop Morgause and Morgana, I cannot help you yet. But I owe you a debt. Therefore it shall be repaid" she paused and stepped back. She raised her hand a blue ball appeared. It rested on Merlin's chest and Merlin felt his strength return. The woman smiled sadly and he got up. "Go Merlin!" she told him, a tear rolling down her face she vanished and Merlin never heard her say "I love you!"
