Chapter 2: Dragons Call Part 2

Morgana was looking out of the window when Uther came into the room.

"Morgana" He said in a cold voice.

"Yes?" She replied shortly.

"What is this? Why are you not going to the feast?" He said angrily to his ward.

"I don't think chopping someone's head off is cause for a celebration" Morgana's eyes flashing angrily towards the King.

"It is simple justice to what he had done"

"To whom? He practiced some magic, he didn't hurt anyone"

Something flashed in King Uther's eyes. "You were not around twenty years ago, you have no idea what it was like. "

"How long are you going to keep punishing people for what happened then? " Morgana said furious at the man.

"Until they realise that this is MY kingdom and you WILL be there to greet Lady Helen."

"I'm your guardian! I expect you to do as I ask"

"THE MORE BRUTAL YOU ARE! THE MORE ENEMIES YOU WILL CREATE" And with that Morgana left.

"MERLYN...MERLYN...MERLYN"

Merlyn woke up hearing a voice coming from below the castle.

"I have got you water. You didn't wash up last night" Gaius said when Merlyn wandered in jovially.

"Sorry" Merlyn muttered embarrassed while blushing pink a little. She picked up her spoon and began eating her porridge. Gaius intentionally knocks over the bucket of water and Merlyn stands up, putting her hand out to try and stop it from falling. Immediately, the bucket freezes in air, as well as the water which looked like little diamonds.

"How did you do that" Gaius said in shock "Did you say an incantation in your head"

"No, I don't know any spells" Merlyn replied looking up to meet her Uncle's eyes.

"Then how did you do it?" He questioned.

"I do not know. It just happens." Merlyn answered..

"Then we best to keep you out of trouble. Can you please hand Hollyhock and Feverfew to Lady Percival and Sir Olwin. He is as blind as a weevil, so warn him not to take it all at once " Gaius warned her. Merlyn took these and was heading towards the door when she heard Gaius call her back.

"Here" Gaius handed her a sandwich.

"Thank you" She replied gratefully taking the sandwich from him.

At Sir Olwin's door, Merlyn knocked on it and a squinting old man answered.

"Hello, My name is Merlyn. Gaius gave me your medicine." She said handing the old man the medicine.

"Oh and Gaius said..." She paused when he drank it all in one gulp.

"Never mind" Merlyn said with a wary smile and ran away before she could get in trouble.

Merlyn was walking into the training grounds and frowned at what she saw. A blonde haired arrogant man with a gang was bulling a poor servant.

"Where is the target?" The blonde man crowed.

"There ,sire?" The poor man trembled and Merlyn was wondering of ways to stop this without causing too much trouble.

"It is in the sun" The man complained. Merlyn nicknamed him "Arrogant Prat" in her head.

"But it isn't that bright" The servant pointed out.

"A bit like you" Arrogant prat and his gang laughed.

The servant was moving the target when the Prat picked up a dagger.

"Teach him a lesson" One of the gang members jeered.

"This will teach him" Prat said throwing the dagger.

"Hey hang on" The servant complained.

"Come on Run" Prat laughed.

The servant dropped the target and went to pick it up. But Merlyn had to intervene.

"That is enough" Merlyn said bravely.

"Sorry do I know you" The blonde man said

"My name is Merlyn" Arthur paused when she said Merlyn, it brought back memories for him

"I will be your friend" The girl said.

"Forever" Arthur asked nervously.

"Forever" The girl smiled with the most beautiful smile that Arthur had ever seen.

"Did you come here when you were 7?" Arthur asked with his heart beating fast.

"Yes, I came here when I was 5 to visit my Uncle Gaius." Merlyn said wondering who on earth this prat was. Arthur went up to her and whispered in her ear.

"My name is Prince Arthur. Can you meet me at the place where I showed you when I was 9." Merlyn gasped.

"Ok" She said and with that Arthur left with his gang.
