When Leon came to the lake with the rest of the knights, the scene was not quite what he had expected. It wasn't, normal. It was as if the storm would rampage through the entire region. A few pyres were burning down by the shore. A small group of people sat beside the fire. Leon recognized Lancelot among them. When they saw the knights, Lancelot stood up and waved his hand in greeting. Leon came down and Lancelot hurried toward Leon.

"Nice to see you here. I just didn't expect to see you." Lancelot said.

"We were a little worried when we heard about the slave traders, and then we found this." Leon showed Arthur's horse.

"Didn't find mine? Ah, but there are a lot of horses left behind. Watch out that green mucus." Lancelot warned pointing it out.

"What happened here? Where is Arthur?"

"You probably wouldn't believe even if I explained it a hundred times." Lancelot sighed. He suddenly looked tired and Leon discovered that he limped. "Arthur... Well, he was injured pretty badly. But we got a little help so I guess that everything is better now. Look over there" Lancelot pointed and Leon realized that he recognized the lanky character.

"Merlin?"

"Nice to see you again Leon." Merlin smiled. He was paler than ever. It looked like he'd been blown back from the dead only a moment earlier. But he was in good cheer.

"See? Do you mean…"

"Yes, I can see you. Heather…" Merlin shook his head and a shadow went over his head, but gave way quickly. "Never mind. I… Arthur? Everything alright?"

He turned to look at covered heap that moved restlessly beside of him.

"Sire?"

Leon fell to his knees beside Arthur. The prince seemed to be half asleep.

"Leon?" Arthur mumbled and squinted his eyes to look at the knight.

"Glad to see that you are alive, sire." Leon smiled.

"Got little… hit."

"Never mind the wounds, but he was poisoned." Merlin said. "I have done what I can and he is healing. We can continue to travel within a couple of days. Do you hear that Arthur? We are going back to the Camelot."

"Home?" Arthur asked already falling back to sleep.

"Home." Merlin smiled.

It was the next evening when the messenger met them. When Leon read the letter Merlin noticed Leon seemed anxious.

"What news?" Merlin asked, fully alert. Leon looked up. His voice was strained as he answered.

"It's from Gaius. Morgana is missing."

The End...

Sequel? I'm not so sure. What you think? What if I write more to Over the winter what is kind of sequel too to Blind future. Or do you want to know more about Morgana?
