"Hey!" Jones exclaimed after a big piece of plaster thudded his side. Below, Lancelot and Merlin stared at each other incessantly. They did not move, but everyone was able to sense their power that raged around them. Suddenly Merlin looked up when a big stone boulder fell. Lancelot had gone too far. After the stone, there fell more stuff. Hundreds of sharp small stone chips began to fall to the ground.
"Look out!" Merlin yelled. Lancelot said quickly shelter spell to himself, he was not able to manage to do the same around them. His gaze reached Gwen and he realized that she was unprotected. "No…" he muttered, and looked upwards. But the fragments not dropped. Every piece hovered in the air. "That is… Absurd! N… No… you can't be able to do that." Lancelot looked at how Merlin had his hand holding up.
"Is that what you're wondering, that I support those little piece in the air?" Merlin allowed himself a small degree of complacency. "Child's play. I have dominated moving objects since my birth, unlike you."
Merlin's hand moved forward.
Fragments darted directly towards Lancelot and he had to evade the shooting pieces.
"What a great show. If you are interested in the girl's fate, stop!" Morgause screamed and they saw how she was holding her gun out again, aiming at Gwen. Arthur had lost the fisticuffs.
"I'll stop you." Merlin said icily.
"You shall not harm her. Let her go. Now!" Lancelot demanded when he moved clumsily up again.
"Well, for once, we think the same." Merlin noted, but Lancelot didn't pay attention to him.
"Easy, Lancelot. Now everything is alright and we …" Morgause started.
"You keep your hands off her!"
"W-what…? What you are talking about, what about our…" Morgause looked at Lancelot with confused anger, which erupted about her now like the tsunami.
"You are using us just to collect money. What a great plan!" On his other hand, Lancelot clutched Morgause's chest. "You and The Hold are begun to disgust me." He hissed.
"Calm down! You are not yourself, remember what happens when you are furious. "Morgause warned him. "Calm down, Lancelot. Breathe…"
"That's it!" Lancelot roared and let his hands of at Morgause, which teetered backward. Lancelot muttered a quick spell, and before Merlin realized, Gwen was with Lancelot. Lancelot grabbed her by the hand and started dragging her away.
"Wait! I can help…." Morgause seemed suddenly very desperate, scared and worried.
"I don't need your help! You keep yourself away from me!" Lancelot yelled at her.
Anger erupted in a powerful wave and the nails on the floor battery bracket, what send Morgause only slightly farther away. Here they stood and gasped. The whole hall trembled. Merlin looked with concern at the ceiling. Morgause shivered.
A mistake. A mistake again. The whole operation had been a big mistake, she admitted to herself. The walls began to fracture, and cracks widened. The whole place was collapsing. Merlin cursed and glanced at the Morgana and Arthur.
"You have to leave! Now!"
"The force increasing strangely, when the situation get difficult." Arthur suddenly pulled Gwen away from Lancelot's trust. "Sorry, but the girl goes with me."
"No!" Lancelot roared. But before he could do anything, they heard two consecutive shots. Lancelot fell to the ground. Jones had made up his own decision when he saw Smith's glancing at him significantly. Now, he left his belongings and fled. Morgause let out a painstaking cry and ran to Lancelot whose stomach the blood bubbled out.
"Lancelot!" She placed her hand tenderly on his cheeks and looked at the man's clouding eyes.
"Let's go home. I will take us home. "She whispered. She pulled the bracelet off her wrist.
"Ic ambith! Gemot us. Gemot carcernþéostru us! Gemot æt brýdhlóp!" Morgause casted the spell.
"Mother…" Lancelot whispered and they disappeared.
"Merlin, stop them! Merlin! Merlin…" Morgana turned to her friend's and stopped. Merlin stood motionless. He looked at his hand which was stained with blood. The blood, which bubbled in his chest. Merlin looked up.
"Didn't saw that coming." He chuckled and tumbled to his knees.
"Merlin!" Arthur yelled horrified. The whole place trembled again. More stones began to fall at their necks.
Merlin looked at Gwen.
"Time to be a hero." He muttered.
Gwen distanced herself from the grip of Arthur and began to walk toward Merlin.
"Gwen?"
Gwen turned to look at him.
"Go before this place fall. I help Merlin so that the entire Center will not explode."
"No, Gwen… Merlin…"
Morgana grabbed his brother. "Come on. They will survive, yes. But they cannot protect us, they have bigger things to do. Come on now." It hurt to say it. Morgana would not want to leave any of them there. But she tried to think rationally. Above them were an entire city and its residents. And if the Great Hall collapses, it would mean the collapse of large buildings above them.
Gwen and Arthur stared each other.
"I love you." Arthur said simply.
"I love you too." Gwen smiled and turned away. Morgana finally dragged her brother with her.
"Merlin?" Gwen crouched front of the man. A small trickle of blood flowed in corner of his mouth, but he still smiled.
"You overestimated me Merlin. You ..."
"Gwen, listen. You still have hope if you just delivered now as I say." Merlin whispered. Gwen pressed against him and wrapped her hands around Merlin.
"What I have to do?"
"Focus. Direct all your power, your words to what you are going to say. Repeat after me."
And Merlin began a slow spell. Gwen focused and felt how her magic rolled up as if someone had opened flood gate inside her. She understood that Merlin did something to her. Merlin, dying Merlin in her arms once again tried to save her. Gwen's eyes flashed, she pressed Merlin tightly and focused at one point lining.
One last time, Guinevere…
She heard the dragon's voice deep in her soul. Maybe he was knew what was going to happen. How? She didn't know.
Easier than ever.
She opened her eyes.
She smiled.
Breathe
