Arthur was surprised to hear that. A meeting for sorcerers that was probably the one Merlin was going to. Then he realized something from the letter. "You said a meeting for sorcerers. Are you sure it's not a meeting with sorcerers?"
If it was a meeting with sorcerers then there would be a lot of people who didn't have to do anything with magic but if it was a meeting for sorcerers then the last thing Arthur was wanted to think about now was Merlin.
"It is a meeting for sorcerers, sire. Only those with magic can go there or if someone with magic invited you to come." Lucas answered.
Arthur was relieved to hear that. This meant that that Gilli was probably a sorcerer and Merlin was just with him. But still Merlin was going to a place with a lot of sorcerers. Then something struck him.
"How do you know about this?" He asked at Lucas.
"My daughter, she lives in Cendred's old kingdom. She is a good girl but she can do magic, sire. But I swear to you that she isn't evil. Please sire, don't do anything against here." Lucas was pleading and it didn't look like he was going to stop. Arthur could understand that. This man was terrified that he was going to kill his daughter.
"Don't worry, I wont do anything but I have to ask. Why did she tell you this; surely she would know that you would come to me."
"She is a good person, my lord." Arthur had to smile at this. It looked like Lucas was still worried about his daughter even though he had told him that he won't harm her. "She is thinking that is there are so many sorcerers together that they could start to plot against you. That is not the meaning of this meeting but if there is one sorcerer who starts to turn them against you it could be very dangerous."
"Do you think that your daughter can take me and four knights to the meeting?" Arthur asked. If they would be able to get to the meeting then he could keep an aye open for danger towards Camelot.
"I think she would be able to do that, sire. She is with me now so you can go with her."
"Good, tell her to be in the stables in half an hour."

Arthur had chosen four knights on this mission. Gwaine, Percival, Elyan and Leon. He had chosen this knights because he trusted them to most but he had another reason. If they would see Merlin he would be able to trust them not to say anything to anyone. Hell he hadn't even thought about what to do if they would find Merlin. He would sort that later out. Now he had to go to the stable's and meet Lucas daughter.
Everyone was already at the stable's when Arthur arrived. He saw a blond, long, young women with blue eyes.
"You must be Lucas's daughter. I'm Arthur Pendragon."
"I'm Lynn, your highness." Arthur noticed that she was scared. Immediately he called himself an idiot. Of course she was scared he hated sorcerers and executed them. "Lynn, I give you my word that we won't hurt you or do anything to harm you."
"Thank you, your highness."
He looked where the knights were and called them over. "Men, when we are in the meeting I don't want any of us t be recognised. So when we are there I want that you put these on." Arthur gave them all a cloak with a big hood that they could easily hide there faces.

Gilli and Merlin were walking now for two hours. They didn't want to stop because at the meeting there would be enough time to rest and the wanted to be there as soon as possible.
Gilli had told Merlin what the meeting would be like. It would just be a lot of sorcerers coming together and actually not much beside's that. But the great thing about it was that you could just be yourself without having to lie. The meeting would be two days and on the third day everyone would go back to where they were from.
The walk would take five hours which meant that they had three hours left to walk. Merlin was used to that by now after all those time's that Arthur had decided to go on a hunt.
After another three hours they saw light between the tree's and the had arrived at the meeting. There were a few people guarding the clearing from the meeting. They asked at everyone who wished to enter the clearing to show some magic and after that they where allowed to enter.
ArThUrArThUr
After a few long hours Arthur, the knights and Lynn saw the clearing. Arthur and the knights put their cloaks on and they all went to the clearing.
Arthur saw a few men just outside the clearing. When they saw Lynn, Arthur and the knights they went to them and asked to use magic. Arthur really hoped that Lucas was right and that he and the others didn't need to have magic to go to the meeting. Lynn used magic and said that they didn't have magic but that they were friends. The guards looked at them for a few moments but let them pass. They where in the meeting.
Arthur needed first a few minutes to look around. Everywhere everyone was using magic. They didn't use it to harm someone but just for fun or the help themselves or others. When he took a look at the knights he saw that they were also surprised to see so much magic just being used. Lynn however looked like she had expected this so Arthur concluded that it was normal.
There were a lot of campfires in the clearing. At each campfire there was a small group of sorcerers sitting. There were also a lot of sorcerers walking around the clearing to see if there was someone they knew.
They walked into the clearing and Arthur saw a boy. He didn't knew this boy but he had a feeling that he had seen him before. Before Arthur had the chance to look away the boy walked over to them.
"Hey." The strange boy said. "I don't think we have met before, haven't we? My name is Gilli."
Arthur felt how is heart was suddenly beating faster. This boy was Gilli. So this was probably the boy Merlin was with. Which means that this boy was certainly a sorcerer else Merlin wouldn't be able to come to the meeting. Then he realised that Gilli was waiting for him to respond and to tell him his name. he could hardly tell Gilli that he was Arthur Pendragon.
"I'm Tymen" Arthur said back.
"Well Tymen, do you have already a place where you sit or do you want to sit with me?" Arthur didn't know what to say. If he would go with Gilli then he would see Merlin and he could check if Merlin was alright. On the other hand Merlin would maybe be able to recognise Arthur. However, before he had the chance to reply Lynn answered Gilli.
"We would love to." She said.
"Good if you would follow me then I would bring you there." Gilli said and stared to walk.
During the walk Arthur went to his knights. "Whoever sits at the fire you will pretend that you don't know him and you won't talk to him if you know him."
The knights where confused by this. Arthur talked like he was talking about a specific person not like it was just possible but that they where actually going to see someone they knew.
When they came closer to a fire where there was just one person sitting Arthur saw that that person was also wearing a cloak. Then Gilli started talking the person.
"Merlin we have visitors could you please duplicate some meat?" Gilli asked the person. Arthur could hear how the knights gasped.
"Why don't you do it yourself I already have done it a few time this evening. Next time is your turn." A familiar voice spoke. Then he saw how Merlin picked up some meat. Merlin muttered some words and then the meat duplicated himself.
A/N: what do you think is going to happen now. please be nice -even if I end this chapter with a cliffie- and review. the next chapter will probably be up on Thursday.
