Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin in anyway though the OC's are mine.
Gaius and Merlin watched in awe and horror as Maron and Oran ate the food around them at a speed Merlin didn't think was possible, they continued wolfing down their lunch when Oran lifted a slice of bread from the plate closest to him
" Hey!" Maron shouted " That was my slice! "
" No it wasn't it was mine!" said Oran
" No it wasn't! "
" Yes it was "
" No it wasn't! "
" Yes it was! "
Gaius coughed and the two arguing siblings looked at him, " I'm sure it doesn't matter who's it was, Merlin here will get you more ". Merlin looked at him in shock
" I will? " he asked, Gaius nodded. " But they've ate enough to do a feast how can they still be hungry? " he whispered to Gaius
" The poor things mightn't have had a proper meal in days, maybe weeks Merlin, I'm sure you would be the same if you were them " Gaius explained to the young warlock, he lifted the now empty plates and said " I may have some more food in reserve I'll go look " he said and walked off.
" You sure do eat for someone so thin " Merlin said to Maron. Maron glared at him
" What are you trying to say? " she barked back
" Nothing I was just giving you a compliment I like a girl with a big appetite " Merlin said
" What?! " Maron shouted standing up
" No no, I didn't mean it like that I was saying that for how you look I wouldn't have thought you ate so much which is good because it shows you don't starve yourself for a figure like yours " Merlin said in a panic, Maron clenched her teeth but just walked away over to Gaius
" I think she likes you " Oran said to Merlin with a smile
" W-what? "
" If anyone else said that to her she would set them on fire, I think she likes you " Oran said, Merlin looked across at Maron and shook his head
" I'm not so sure about that " he said while her and Gaius came back to the table with more food
" Before we begin eating why don't you tell us what happened to you? " Gaius asked to the brother and sister, Oran shrank back slightly as Maron began her story.
" I'm sure you know during the Great Purge Uther had all the dragonlords killed, some manged to escape as always there is always some who get away, our father was fortunate enough to be one who had got away. He was a dragonlord and like all dragonlords their power gets passed down from father to son, he had three children, me, Oran and our older brother Jay." Oran sniffed and looked away from the them when Maron mentioned Jay's name " We lived in a small village just outside the kingdom, one day though father came home in a panic saying we had to leave as quick as possible so we gathered our things and left as soon as possible but we were to late, they had already attacked "
" Who were they? " Merlin asked
" The one who attacked us was Lord Droom but he worked for King Galron "
" King? " said Merlin, he looked over at Gaius who had stiffened on his chair " Gaius? " asked Merlin checking to see if he was OK.
" According to legend Galron is the demon king " Gaius said
" There's no legend to it, it's true I've seen him myself " Maron said " He's as real as you and me and he's growing stronger. Galron has four generals in his ranks, Lord Droom who attacked our village was one of them, a man called Jessie is another where as Amy was the third "
" And the fourth? " asked Gaius
" I think you know " Maron said
" That is impossible! " Gaius snapped
" I wish it was " Oran whimpered
" Who is the fourth general? " asked Merlin. Gaius took a deep breath and gave Merlin his answer
" Lord Galron was a demon king who ruled this land many years ago, he even sat on the throne of Camelot, however once he gained power he abandoned those who helped get him there one was a young sorcerer called Jarian, Galron went round killing those who was a threat to his power and tried to kill Jarian but he luckily escaped. Supposedly Jarian met with a being called the East King, the East King was a being with great knowledge into magic and from the East King Jarian learnt a spell that would help seal away an evil suck as Demon King Galron "
" And it worked? " Merlin asked, Gaius nodded
" Supposedly although now it looks like he's free "
" That still doesn't tell me who the fourth general is " Merlin said
" Only a being pure of heart can perform this spell, Jarian wasn't so he expelled all the evil out of him to use the spell, however this evil manifested itself into another being whose power grew and grew, it fed of other's fears and the evil in peoples thoughts to become what it was. The Devil "
Merlin looked at Gaius in disbelief " So King Galron's fourth general is Satan himself "
" That's what people called it " said Maron " I never saw it myself but Oran here did ". Oran looked up at the three of them and then quickly turned away from them " It scared the life out of the little guy " Maron said rubbing Oran's hair
" Why would a being this powerful then be a servant to Galron? " Merlin asked
" It fed of evil, took the body and power of the most evil and powerful sorcerers and increased it to use for it's own gain and there was no one as evil as Demon King Galron " Maron explanied
" But Galron was to strong for it " Gaius explained " It found where Galron was sealed away and released him in the hope it could control Galron but it couldn't and Galron defeated it "
" Then what happened Galron? " Merlin asked
" At this stage Jarian was dead but his pupils were still alive, one of them used the spell to once again seal Galron away " Gaius said
" Well then now we know his weakness we just have to use this spell on Galron to seal him away again " Merlin said with optimism
" Not as simple as that Merlin " Gaius said " The spell to seal Galron away is a spell of suicide, in order for it to work the user has to give everything, even their life "
" That's why no one knows it know because any one who did or does know it just dies using it " Maron said. Merlin nodded and looked at Oran who was smiling again
" You can beat him! " Oran said
" What? " both Merlin and Maron said
" Look how easy you beat Amy and Maron's nearly as strong as Droom if you taught us how to be as strong as you Galron wouldn't stand a chance! " Oran said, Merlin looked over at Gaius, a smile had formed on his lips
" Merlin, Oran may be right it could be our best chance "
" Me?! Train them Gaius I couldn't I mean how? "
" I'm sure your well capable of it " Gaius said.
" I'm sure he's not" mumbles Maron
" Well then I guess I could try it, might be fun " said Merlin, Oran jumped up in delight while Maron rolled her eyes
" Great " she muttered
