AN: I know, I know. I AM "a despicable human being!" I have been taking so long to write and post this chapter! School life is just killing me! Who knew life could get soooo crazy?! Anyway, this is a short chapter! Sorry. I hope you enjoy it. I know some of you have been waiting for a really long time.
Camelot had changed since they had been there last. It was destroyed, gone, actually, the castle wasn't even there anymore. The forests were smaller and luck had it that they had landed in a river that was dwindling in size.
Arthur turned to Merlin, who was holding his frail wife in his arms.
"Where are we?" Arthur whispered.
Merlin sighed, "Camelot, or what is left of it. There is a reason it was only legend when we were in the future Arthur."
"Yeah, well according to the legends I am supposed to be a once and future king," Arthur snapped.
"That is true," Merlin stated, looking around the forest carefully.
"Of what?" Arthur demanded.
Merlin looked over at Arthur. He understood why he was so irritated. Merlin wasn't exactly thrilled about the state the land he was supposed to protect, was in.
"I don't know Arthur," Merlin admitted, "What I do know is that my daughter is in trouble."
Arthur nodded, "Right. So, do we know where she would be?"
Merlin nodded, "I have an idea. If there is still partly a forest…then Morgana's hovel must still be here. She wouldn't have wanted to give that up, so she probably protected it…"
"Do you know how to get there?" Frank interrupted.
Merlin looked over at Arthur's anxious son, "Yes, fortunately I do."
"Wait when did you go to Morgana's hovel?" Arthur exclaimed.
Merlin shook his head, "We don't have time to explain everything you missed, Arthur."
"Everything I missed!" Arthur shouted, "Merlin, you tell me right now."
"I will tell you, Arthur," Merlin promised, "But…"
"We need to find Isabelle!" Frank interjected, "Now, Dr. Martin, where is she?"
Merlin smiled, "Frank, here I am Merlin. Please, don't call me a doctor anymore. The only doctor figure that existed in Camelot was…Gaius."
"Where is Gaius?" Gwen inquired.
Merlin looked down, "I could only take a certain amount of people back with me… I couldn't take him…"
Gwen began to ask, "So is he…"
"We are in the future still, Gwen, we didn't go back in time. It has been several centuries. No one we know is still alive, save those who were taken into the future too or magically protected," Merlin interrupted.
Gwen bowed her head, "I am sorry."
Merlin sighed, "Me too, Gwen. Me too."
"Isabelle," Frank pushed.
"Yes," Merlin said, straightening his shoulders, we have got to find my daughter!"
AN: I hope you liked it. I am so sorry, that it took so long. If I get more reviews, like five, I promise I will post the new chapter really, really soon, but hey they're in Camelot now! :D
P.S. Sorry for any typos, I wanted to get this to you guys fast, because my classes have delayed me for so long!
