During the time of Merlin's destiny of a great kingdom in a land of myth and a time of magic, two young dame's destiny will save all magic… Their name's are Farah and Evelyn...
Episode 2.5: The Curse of the Pendragons
Evelyn and Farah were doing swordplay in the court arena but no one saw them, they wanted to feel what the area of the arena felt to them as they'd practice their sword skills. As they fought, Evelyn obeyed every command that the magic told her to do as if magic was a guide then a use of a tool.
"Evelyn, how in the world are you doing that?" Farah asked as she swung her sword back and forth.
"Doing what exactly?"
"You dodge my every single move", Farah started to get exhausted from the swordplay.
"Farah, I think you need to rest you don't look good"
"Why must I stop when no one won?"
"First off we are both winners in different ways, and second I want to spend time with… A friend"
"Well, you are spending time with me-"
"No I mean a different friend", Evelyn said cutting off Farah.
Farah now knew who this "other" friend was, "Oh, you want to spend quality time with 'Servant Boy' " Farah said sarcastically.
Evelyn rolled her eyes as she was braiding her hair "He's not just a servant boy Farah, he's very smart, nice, and very respectful"
"Not when I see him around Arthur", Farah said underneath her breath.
"I heard that Farah, maybe when you spend time with Merlin you can respect him", Evelyn said packing her stuff in her bag.
Farah started to laugh, "In your dreams, besides I want to see how much I can bug Arthur before I get new friends"
Evelyn laughed, "When Arthur turns old and grey, he'll still think of you being an annoying little brat"
Farah eye's went wide, "Are you saying that I'm a brat?!"
"I'm not going to answer that", Evelyn said walking off.
As Evelyn was walking to Merlin's house, she saw three young women around their 20's doing dancing on the town square. But Evelyn felt something about these ladies who dancing, like if they had magic… But Evelyn kept it to herself, she knew that magic was banned but she wanted them to not be caught.
She arrived to Merlin's home and saw Merlin cleaning something that looked like a tank.
"Hi Merlin, what are you doing?", Evelyn asked chuckling to herself.
Merlin popped his head and looked at Evelyn with a smile, "I'm just cleaning this tank for Gaius for some use in the future"
"Um, interesting… So after when you're done, do you want to ride to the lake of Hudol-Dyfroedd?", Evelyn asked Merlin curiously.
Merlin thought for a moment, "Maybe, depends if Arthur calls me to do something… What is Hudol-Dyfroedd?"
"Well, Hudol-Dyfroedd is a lake that is… You can say mystical; very enchanted and magical lake. Every six years in my life, me and my father watch the magical lights dance to the crickets noise and the water's waves, it's a very beautiful sight to see… Sadly my father is no longer alive, and I thought maybe you would like to see it…", Evelyn said with hope in her voice.
Merlin knew that this meant a lot to her. To Evelyn, Merlin is one of the closest friends to her (besides Farah).
"Alright, I'll go with you", Merlin said with a smile.
Evelyn then attacked Merlin with a huge hug, "Thank you! You're like my best friend ever!... Well besides Farah"
Merlin chuckled, "Well thanks!"
Evelyn then left to go to the castle to see Morgana and Gwen in the gardens…
Three witches in a dark tunnel underneath Camelot met up, very young they were. All three were working for Nimueh, they wanted to kill the Pendragons for banishing magic in Camelot. So for a slow killing process to the Pendragons, they must set in a curse.
"Chun Ní mór an mallacht atá leagtha síos sa
Chun an marú a bheith mall
Ní mór a bheith marbh Pendragons
I gcás go bhfuil an draíocht imithe i Camelot
Agus go gcaithfidh an Pendragons a bheith imithe
Beidh Soilsiú agus Dóiteáin tosú i oíche
Beidh Uisce agus Báisteach tosú ag an gcéad solas ...
Beidh ar cheann Grá ó mhairbh haunt iad
Agus beidh cairde gar a reo in am"
Then after the enchantment, the earth began to quake… The curse was ready to begin…
When Evelyn was walking rain set in and water started to flood.
"What the heck?! It was just sunny and now it's flooding rain!", Evelyn exclaimed.
'Evelyn… Come...', a voice said to Evelyn, but she didn't freak out. She was calm and she replied to the voice, 'Who are you?'
'I'm the Great Dragon, I'm Kilgharrah', The voice said to Evelyn.
'Where can I find you?', Evelyn asked the "Great Dragon".
'You have to follow your heart...', Kilgharrah's voice faded away…
Evelyn was confused but went on her way to the castle. As she got there, she saw all the soldiers laying dead or near to death. She gasped in fear and ran to the hall of the king, the king was in his seat sick looking like he was going to die. Arthur lying on the floor, he couldn't breath.
"Arthur!", Evelyn exclaimed running to Arthur's side.
Arthur was unconscious wheezing trying to stay alive. Then the magic in Evelyn guided her to heal Arthur, she putted her hands on his chest saying no enchantment, her eyes from a green color became a total glowing white. Arthur was floating in the air, and what look like lights floating in the air went into his lungs healing the curse that was laid on him. He was sound asleep and alive.
Evelyn sighed and felt like if someone was behind her, she turned around and Merlin was there amazed, "That was amazing, how did you do it?!"
"No time for questions and answers Merlin, we must go to the Great Dragon for help", Evelyn said in a hurry grabbing Merlin's hand and started to run.
"Wait how do you know the Great Dragon?", Merlin asked running with Evelyn.
"Let's say telepathically he contacted me", Evelyn replied to Merlin.
Evelyn ran to the cave of the Great Dragon, and found him waiting for them.
"Ah Dame Evelyn and Merlin the Warlock, you two come for help do you both?", the Great Dragon asked Evelyn and Merlin.
"Yes, I feel like magic cursed the Pendragon family; how must we stop it?", Evelyn asked the Great Dragon.
The Great Dragon replied, "The curse is by the three sisters of Dark-Wall; an ancient birthplace of witchcraft. They follow the work of Nimueh. To stop the curse, you must find them and use your power against them. You must kill them"
Evelyn was stun, "Why kill them? I know they are doing something wrong but killing isn't my style, showing mercy is my style"
"Perhaps it is your style to show mercy to others, but they must be killed. If this isn't done, then the consequent of your action will be the downfall of an innocent town", the Great Dragon said with a thunderous roar.
"An innocent town? What innocent town?", Evelyn asked very confused.
The dragon sighed, "I said too much… Go do as you wish, but if you don't kill the Sisters of Dark-Wall; the many death's will be you to blame… Beware Dame of Camelot, do not use anger as a weapon; you must control it ", The dragon flew away in the cave.
Evelyn turned to Merlin, "Come we must find these sisters"
Evelyn then walked away along with Merlin who asked, "Whatever you choose Evelyn, what path you go through; I'll always be by your side no matter cost"
Evelyn tried not to cry since if she failed to kill these sisters, then the future people will die in her hands.
"That's what I fear Merlin, the cost that will be brought to me in the future", Evelyn said with a sad tone in her voice.
Nimueh was with the Three Sisters of Dark-Wall watching in the water of time Evelyn and Merlin.
"Sisters, do in your power to slay the Queen. If you do, I'll give you a task after her death. If you fail, I'll give you a task that is more difficult for you to handle", Nimueh said to the Three Sisters of Dark-Wall.
"Yes my lady of great magic", the sisters said at the same time.
Nimueh smiled, "Evelyn, pain will come in your way… Pain that your heart can't handle"
Evelyn and Merlin were in the streets in the town, trying to find the sisters. Until Evelyn stopped and realized where they were at.
"What's wrong?", Merlin asked Evelyn.
Evelyn answered, "They're underground Merlin, in the tunnels"
They found a door in the city's walls which went underground. They went down in the tunnels and the magic told Evelyn that she needs to do this by herself.
She turned to Merlin, "Merlin, stay here. I must do this by myself"
He protested, "No, I have to come with you!"
"Merlin, right now this is my path that I chose for the time. I must do it", Evelyn said to Merlin putting a hand on his shoulder. His tears came down, "If you die, the blame is mine"
"No it isn't, it's mine… But it won't happen-"
Merlin then cut off Evelyn, "What if it does, I cannot forgive myself if you are dead"
"If it does, I died saving the kingdom", Evelyn said with a smile and kissed Merlin's cheek, "Pray for me Merlin"
"I will", Merlin said wiping the tears away.
Evelyn walked away from Merlin not looking back.
Evelyn saw the Three Sisters who were surrounding her.
"Look here, it's Dame Evelyn of Camelot trying to save Camelot", One sister said with a evil tone in her voice.
"What will she do, she has never faced the Sisters of the Old Religion…" the second sister said.
"Well that tells us that she'll fail her task… She won't survive us…" the third sister said laughing.
"What are your name's Sisters of Dark-Wall, for I want to know my enemies before I call them foe?", Evelyn asked the Sister's of Dark-Wall.
"I'm Aya"
"I'm Xai"
"And I'm Rae"
Evelyn thought to herself to show mercy, "I will show you peace if you apologize of what curse you have brought to the Pendragon's"
"So you're saying that we sould regret what we did, then we have to apologize to you? You must be joking, you're no Queen; not yet. Plus your family brought a curse to us, to the Old Religion" Xai said to Evelyn.
"My family? What do you mean, my family have done nothing to you", Evelyn said to Xai counfused.
Then Nimueh came out, "They did, they brought us misery to us"
Evelyn turned to Nimueh, "You must be Nimueh, but how did my family brought misery to you?"
"The question you should ask is who your family is", Nimueh said.
Evelyn was still confused and a little angry, "What do you mean?"
"Your family are the problem-"
"My family is dead! They cannot be the problem, if they were alive then things right now will make sense . But right now what all of you are saying doesn't make sense!" Evelyn said with anger and confusion.
With that anger Evelyn's hands were full of lighting and what surrounded her feet was fire, in anger Evelyn attacked Nimueh, Aya, Xai, and Rae. The earth quaked again and Nimueh, Aya, Xai, and Rae got away.
Evelyn stopped and realized that Nimueh and the Three Sisters got away, she cried for she has failed of the future that is ahead. Then she saw a vision of a town by the Violet Mountains, a town full of hope and innocence. Then fire burned up the town killing everyone. Arthur and a group of knights came to the lonely town face the fire, trying to save the last living person in the town...Aya, Xai, and Rae watched the town becoming ash smiling…. Evelyn knew the town, it was her birth home….
After the vision, Evelyn cried more with a yelp and scream. She knew what she had done. Merlin ran to her hugging her, "Evelyn, it's okay…" He said trying to calm her down which didn't work, for Evelyn is scarred for life of the vision that will haunt her forever…
After Evelyn and Merlin got out of the tunnels, Uther, Arthur, and the soldiers of Camelot woke up. Uther declared that magic was used during the time when he and the rest of the loyal servants of Camelot were sleeping. Luckily Merlin and Evelyn went to Hudol-Dyfroedd and saw the magical lights danced.
"This is beautiful…", Merlin said smiling away. Evelyn smiled sadly still thinking of the vision… The vision came back, but it was showed in the water of the lake. Merlin was frightened, "Evelyn look!"
Evelyn's face was sad, but to tell Merlin she had to tell it in song:
"Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my family souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Pendragon's son
If this is to end in fire
Then we shall all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Calling out father, stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Calling out father, prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky
Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
And I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me
Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame
Calling out father hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky
Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me
And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns then
My friend I will die
And as the sky's falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out
Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
I see fire,
I see fire,
And I see fire
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side
And I hope you'll remember me…"
"So that's why you're sad, this town is your home…", Merlin said.
Evelyn said nothing just looking in the lake.
