Battlefeild reunions

"mother! What are you doing here!" Merlin shouted as he emerged from the wall, she smiled at him weakly knowing he didn't shout because of anger but because of fear for her safety. "Merlin please you could at least say hello, I haven't seen you in two years." She was smiling properly now and he pulled her into a hug while guiding her away from the danger of the open court yard. "it is good to see you I just don't think the middle of a war is the best time for a visit. How did you even get in?" her smile turned into a sad one. "There are things I haven't told you Merlin things that you need to know now." Before he could ask what she meant she took his arms and rubbed the ring on her finger "whisk us away to sanctuary" Merlin barely heard the spell but he knew that was what it was as when he looked up they were now standing in his chambers. "your spell only keeps enemies out" she explained. Merlin sat down at his table and motioned for his mother to do the same. "Lord Merlin. It's a title suited to you. It is yours by birthright." Hunith said, Merlin leant forward taking her hand in his "please mother you said there were things you needed to tell me. So please tell me." Hunith looked at her son. "It takes a special kind of woman to wed a dragon lord, but an even more special one, to supply him with an heir, my grandmother was a powerful sorceress, but she got over confident, she thought she could heal the dead, her husband died so that their daughter could live. It devastated the family, only my cousin Gaius followed in her footsteps, but he made sure never to push his luck, when he was a teen his parents died so he came to live with us, he became like an older brother to me, and then well" she drifted off, Merlin sat there patiently waiting for his mother to continue.

"when the purge started ballinor was the first to come to Ealdor, we are a small village outside of uthurs realm as long as Gaius and others were careful people could stop off there when making their escape. Ballinor stayed, we fell in love, and then Uthur came with his knights ballinor had no choice but to run and distance himself from me, from us." Merlin felt a tear threaten to fall at the injustice of it all. "Eight months later Gaius sent the last person to ealdor, his fiancée Alice, she was a healer of unparalleled skill, she aided me in that last month she helped me through the quickening." Merlin nodded, and suddenly he felt even worse for that poor woman who had been forced into doing the Mantecores bidding, even more grateful that she had escaped.

"But, it was not what I thought" Merlin's head snapped up at this comment. "It was not a son. It was a son, and a daughter." She looked Merlin in the eye tears flowing down her pale cheeks. "Merlin you have a twin sister, she was born with magic, ballinor had told me I would have a son one day, he didn't know who the father would be, he had already realised by that point that Uthur would not stop hunting him, he told me to marry a good man. I knew I had to keep you safe. And near to me. But it was to risky to do the same with your sister, I had a hard enough time hiding your magic from the village with out you having sibling to perform it with. So I entrusted her to Alice, told her to take your sister somewhere safe, somewhere no one would know Alice, or ballinor, or even humble old me." Merlin was shaking, he had a sister? Was his sister like him? Was she as powerful? Did she hold a grudge against him and his mother for abandoning her? Was, was she like Morganna?

"What did you call her?" Merlin asked quietly. "You were named in the male form of my grand mother, Marelyn. She was named in the female form of her father, I named her Bellanor." Merlin smiled, he was apparently named after a powerful sorceress and his sister after a powerful dragon lord. It seamed fitting. "Why are you telling me this now mother? Why choose now after all these years?" Hunith sighed, Merlin had never seen her this tired. "I get reports from the people she settled in with, recently there was a wyvern attack on the village, she commanded the attack to end, and the wyvern left." Merlin shivered. "that's impossible the gift is passed down to the son" Hunith shrugged her shoulders "well apparently my children don't pay much attention to rules because your sister, well she shows sings of being a dragon lord. She needs guidance and companionship, she needs a brother." Merlin stood up and his mother followed his example.

"I had a chance to help Morganna but I failed, this war is partly my fault, I will not turn my back on my family, my sibling, as she has done to hers. When will she arrive?" Hunith laughed. "She will be here any moment, Merlin I feel a little faint" as she said this she started to fall over Merlin's eyes went gold and he gently moved her with his magic across to his bed. "Mother, your first spell in roughly thirty five years was to transport you and me to safety, that's a hefty spell. Rest here a while you will be safe. I have a sister to go and meet, and a king to inform. Hunith nodded and once Merlin was sure she was safely asleep he touched the wall and was gone again.

"Arthur!" Tristain pushed the prince to the side and raised his shield as a spell hit it sending shudders through him. "Merlin has come to see you almost as a brother I'm fairly certain he would be a little peeved if we let you get killed because you zoned out." Arthur turned to his friend and deflected a knife that had been thrown at the young knight's neck. "Yes well rumour has it he is fairly fond of you, if you were to die I'd have to suffer his wrath. So please try and stay alive mate, I don't care if you loose both your arms just," Arthur and Tristain spun round raising their shields in tandem and braced for impact as their shields were hit by fire, both their shield protecting the other, "stay alive mostly"

Lancelot pushed off Percival's bent knee and launched himself over the enemy kicking backwards not even pausing when he heard the distinctive crunch of breaking bones that meant the man had met Percival's fist. He glanced to the side and saw just blood, and enemy fighter's "I'd feel better" he stabbed and opponent and returned to Percival's side. "If we knew what the sisters were up to while all this is happening." Percival nodded and stood up straight staring into the distance. "Not on battlefield" was all he offered his friend. He smacked an approaching enemy on the head and calmly took the fallen sorcerers sword. "Is the lady Gwen alright?" Lancelot went to answer but at that moment Gwen came gliding past them and gracefully cut down three of Cenreds knights in one fluid motion. She smiled at them through her helmet and then was gone. Lancelot paused as he noticed that more than those three had fallen. "Odin's body guards, impressive" Percival said with a hint of laughter in his voice.

"Gwaine left!" Gwaine swung his sword blindly to the left and felt it slow upon impact. "Leon up" Leon raised his shield upwards as a sword crashed against it. "You know, you could have been more specific" Gwain said smiling at his comrade, Leon jabbed a knight in the chin and sent his enemy flying. "Relax sir Gwain it was a large target" Gwain laughed. "Why sir Leon, making fat jokes, I do believe I've been a bad influence" they sung their swords and shields in sync using shield to protect the others open spots while engaging enemy fighters with their swords. "oh I know you have, I'm just glad I've managed to avoid your infamous tavern trips" sir Leon threw his sword up in the air and spun round as gwain swung his shield into the path of a spear, sir leon caught his sword again and brought it down into the top of a sorcerers head. "Getting you to the tavern, is my next epic quest sir Leon. Don't you worry." Gwain called over his shoulder.

"sire they appear to be easing off this battle has been going for three days straight I think maybe you should head back to the citadel this evening." Tristain said, but in Merlin's voice. Arthur nodded at Lancelot when he caught the knight's eye, Lancelot and the rest of Arthurs knights of the round table all worked their way towards Arthur. In a circle, once they were all in a circle with Gwen's army keeping the enemy at bay they all placed their swords in the ground in a circle and immediately a dome of energy appeared around them protecting them. "We can't hold that for long. Merlin speak your piece" Arthur said ignoring Gwen's confused look. Tristain tilted his head like Merlin. "Kilgarrah has reported that they seam to be moving as if they will rest for the night, while it may help you in the short term to take that advantage it would not in the long term, your father and I are both agreed that you and the allies should retreat to Camelot for the night, and head out energised before dawn. Hello Gwen it's good to see you, right you can have Tristain back now." Tristain coughed and shuddered. "Right what did he say." He said. Arthur filled the hedge knight in on what the warlock had said while he walked towards the side of the circle and pulled out his sword immediately the dome was gone and they were back in the fight.

"Our friendly neighbourhood warlock has increased his repertoire since I last saw him, possession of mind and body?" Arthur glanced across at Gwen he could see the kind caring eyes of the woman he loved, even now in the middle of a battle field she was concerned about her friend. "Gwen, you don't know the half of it. He can breath fire, he can reattach limbs if he reaches the injured person on time, I hear he can even teleport without the use of a conduit. The way Gaius explains it." Gwen never heard the end of the sentence as one of the attacking soldiers chose that moment to stab Arthur in the gut, she spun round to take out the offending soldier when she heard a piercing whistle that was heard across the battle field. She saw Lancelot rise above the throng and point a bloodied sword in her direction. Before the surrogate princess could ask what was happening a young knight appeared next to her, he was disturbingly free of blood and dirt. he smiled at her, a beautiful angelic smile, before he spun round and struck a fatal blow to the enemy soldier who had stabbed Arthur. Gwen was confused; this beautiful boy had Cenred's livery on his battle cape. Her confusion ceased when he ripped his battle cape off to reveal a pendragon crest painted on his chainmail. "For the once and future king! For Emrys! For Camelot" Galahad yelled as he fell into step next to Gwen and Arthur, Gwen noticed him glance across at the injured prince.

"A little warning before you do that again old friend" Percival said having had Lancelot whistle right next tot his ear. Lancelot was currently sitting on his shoulders to get a better vantage, "they are falling back." Lancelot said ignoring his friend. He heard a whistle and was down from Percival's shoulders in a flash. Running towards Arthur Percival got the attention of the other knights of the round table and motioned for them to follow. "Lancelot what is it?" He asked catching his friend up. His answer came when he looked ahead. Arthur had been stabbed, badly. Lancelot heard a feral growl from beside him and knew to step away from Percival. Percival grabbed the nearest enemy's shoulder and squeezed knowing he had crushed the collar bone, he moved on to snap an others arm and break a neck with his shield. They reached Arthur, Gwen and Galahad forming a protective circle around the prince. Luckily the enemy were already drawing back for the night. The rest of Camelot's forces making short work of any stragglers. Just as they were asking what to do about the prince, Gwaine pointed to the sky and shouted "pretty lady riding a wyvern, no I'm not drunk" their eyes turned to the sky to see exactly that, a young lady riding a wyvern towards them, carrying a rock. They would have thought it was quite impressive if not for the fact that she then crashed the wyvern into an enemy soldier and tumbled along the ground, yelping.

"Move! I need to see Arthur." were the first words she said none of them made any attempt to move, so she just hefted one of Cenred's men over her shoulder as her eyes went gold. They all felt themselves pushed to the side and she stormed past them laying the captive next to Arthur who had now been placed on the ground. Before any of them could ask any questions she placed her hand on the earth and with a dragon like roar shouted "Emrys hear me brother, come to your prince" none of them knew what she had shouted, the knights had their hands on their swords but she definitely had said Emrys. They found their answer a second later when Merlin emerged out of the turf and spun round to place one hand on Arthur and the other on the enemy soldier who was now coming too, and spoke a spell "lend him your strength, borrow his pain" when Merlin looked up his eyes were so gold it hurt to look, and Arthurs wound moved across to the enemy soldier. Merlin took a moment to recover before standing up and looking across the empty battlefield, eventually his eyes settled on the new arrival a single tear fell down his cheek as he looked at her, a huge grin spread across his face "well you certainly know how to make an entrance Bellanor" she smiled an alarmingly similar smile and with a huff of laughter answered "with you as a brother I thought a grand entrance was called for." It would have been quite a touching moment if not for Arthur regaining consciousness at that point and muttering "oh god two of them"
