Hey. Hey. Hey. Guys I know you're out there. Why not click that review button and leave your thoughts? :D
It had been a while since Merlin had gone down to see the Dragon, who was imprisoned far below the castle, and as his large golden eyes focused on the young warlock, they held a fair amount of surprise.
"The young warlock returns. I began to think you would never visit. I have no doubt you need my help."
"What do you know about Analise?"
"Ah,yes. The young witch who arrived in Camelot a year after yourself. There have been many stories about her great power."
"Uther has imprisoned her. They're going to have her burnt."
Kilgharrah shifted on his rock and shook his wings slightly. "Then that is what must happen."
It took Merlin a good few moments to come up with a coherent response. "That's it?"
"Yes."
"There has to be something I can do."
"It does not do to interfere with destiny, young warlock, you should know that. If she is sent to death, then that is how it will be."
"I can't just sit idly by. There has to be something."
"You must do nothing. Allow me to tell you something – the witch Analise is not who seems. If let live, she will, in time, aid in the downfall of Camelot."
"I know her. You're wrong."
"You do not know her as well as you think. There is darkness inside of her, a darkness that you cannot yet see. It will only go stronger with time."
"She saved my life. I owe this to her."
Kilgharrah chuckled his odd dragon chuckle. "Do not let your love for her cloud your better judgment."
"My love...what?"
"I know more than you think."
"Then why won't you just help me?"
"I am helping you. You would do well to heed my warning."
"I will not let her die."
"Then it will be you who allows this kingdom to fall."
"What will happen?"
"I cannot say."
"Then how can I be certain what you're telling me is true?"
"I have seen many things, Merlin, there is not much I do not know."
Merlin blinked at the dragon's large form; that didn't really answer his question.
"If you won't help me, I'll do it on my own."
"That is your choice, but do not say I did not warn you. Is that all you require from me?"
"I suppose."
Kilgharrah bowed gently to his kin, and unfurled his wings, thirty feet across, and took to the air, the chain attached to his leg trailing behind him, rattling slightly.
