Chapter Eight: The Titan draws near.
The woman had vanished, Merlin had no idea what to do. Gaius was still asleep unaware anyone was in his chambers. The woman had gone, who she was Merlin had no idea and how she knew him was even more vague. But he couldn't worry about that now. He shook Gaius awake.
"Look Merlin it the middle of the night and wait… MERLIN your awake and walking!" he shouted
"Yes!" Merlin told him
"But you had practically every bone in your body broken… yesterday how can you be fine now?" he demanded. Quickly Merlin told him everything that happened.
"Who is she" he asked "No idea but for now we need to concentrate on Morgana and Morgause!" he told him
"Yes sorry Merlin but you know how I get when you do something like this! Gaius explained.
"So what happened after I got hurt?" Merlin asked
"Morgana withdrew her forces vowing to return, Merlin… why did she wan you to join her?" Gaius explained. Merlin told them about their "talk".
"This is bad Merlin, when she returns she will want you to join her and if you don't well I fear us all".
"RISE AND SHINE" Merlin bellowed flinging open the curtains in Arthur's room. Merlin felt something hard hit his head. He turned around and saw Arthur glaring at him and Gwen snuggled in the covers trying not to giggle. "Ahh!" Merlin began
"No No Merlin, I think we may need some time to get dressed perhaps!" Arthur suggested
"Okay I'll leave you to it then" he chuckled leaving the room. Then something harder hit his head.
"Arthur I know this is uncomfortable but do you need to throw things?" he asked
"Wasn't me Merlin" he remarked as Gwen burt out laughing. As he closed the door he could hear Gwen says
"You know it quite fun throwing things at him!"
After Gwen left Merlin re-entered the room and Arthur had seemed to remember the critical condition he was in a day before."So Merlin what is it with you? You cant fight but you managed to stab a creature with magic in the woods then in Camelot and then being clumsy you managed to accidentally kill two flying creatures and then hit the ground. And somehow to days later your just fine!" he remarked
"Sounds like me!" muttered sarcastically as a low rumbling sound came from outside. They ran to the window and looked as a creature the size and width of the castle began stamping its way through the kingdom. Red and yellow balls and beams of light flew everywhere destroying homes, people and anything in its path. The monster raised its head and its six gold eyes looked at Camelot. It opened its mouth and a jet of fire propelled itself towards the castle. The result was instant, it hit the north tower which exploded in a hellish fireball. The of the tower fell to the ground crushing numerous wagons and people.
"What the hell is that" Arthur cried. He didn't need to answer as without warning a hand grabbed his neck and within seconds he fell unconscious. Merlin looked around he saw no one. Then a hand grabbed his neck and he slowly began drifting into nothingness.
Morgause looked at the two bodies she smiled briefly before looking out and seeing the titan destroying the city. She hated them all and paused for a moment enjoying watching them die. She turned back round to see two creatures dragging the two bodies away.
