Hello reader me again and I'm finally back sorry about the long wait and this story will continue as long as people keep reading it. Now this chapter does come with a warning as it briefly mentions some of the abuse that Maron had to go through when she was a slave to Galron nothing to graphic don't worry just brief mentions. Anyway hope you enjoy the story and reviews are always nice

Oran always looked up to his sister, in times of need she was always there for him even when he thought that there was no way they could survive or escape certain situations, Droom's relentless hunt of them came to mind, but she still always found ways to save them however he did find his sister strange at times some days she would just blank him and act like a completely different person but the thing he found strangest of all about her was her meditation she would sit for hours on end with her legs crossed and her eyes closed and hands joined it was like her body completely shut down he didn't get it. She was doing it now while Merlin was teaching him.

" Merlin" Oran said " Why does Maron do that?" Merlin looked over at Maron and shrugged

" Helps her calm down I suppose a way just to escape the pressures of life" he said, Oran looked back at his sister still wondering how she did it. Maron's eyes then shot open and Oran quickly looked away incase he caught her staring at him but she kept looking straight ahead into the forest

" Someones coming!" she said while standing up. Merlin frowned and looked ahead of him with his eyes glowing

" Your right" he said, Oran looked ahead but could see nothing

" I can't see anything" the young dragonlord said

" Use your magic Oran" Merlin said " Concentrate on the space ahead just like I showed you ". Oran then shut his eyes, he took a deep breath and opened his eyes they were glowing gold as his magic allowed him to see far ahead, he soon found what he was looking for a man wearing all black with long silver hair was running their way

" Jessie!" Maron snarled clenching her fist " He's Galrons right hand man" she said to Merlin.

" Maron take Oran and get out of here" Merlin said

" What?" asked Maron

" He'll be after the two of you, get back to Camelot as quickly as possible I'll deal with him" Merlin said, Maron was about to rebuke him but one look at Oran and she thought better of it she knew she had to keep her brother safe

" Come on" she said to Oran grabbing his hand and the two ran away

" What about Merlin?" Oran said

" Merlin can look after himself " she said as they ran off back to Camelot. Merlin watched them go before turning back to Jessie who was now breaking through the bushes to come face to face with Merlin. He stopped a few feet away from Merlin and looked him up and down studying him, Merlin then raised his hand and Jessie's body tensed

" What do you want?" he asked Jessie. Jessie still out of breath from the running took a moment to answer

" I want to help you Emrys" said Jessie, Merlin didn't move his hand still raised incase Jessie tried something

" Why?" Merlin asked

" Galron was about to kill me he used The Devil to take over the Lady Morganas body and Drooms army is getting ready for an attack on Camelot, you have to believe me if you don't then the we are all going to die!" Jessie pleaded

" Their going to attack Camelot?" asked Merlin. Jessie nodded

" Droom's army of the dead is raising. There is a full moon in two days that's when his power is at its greatest he'll be able to summon a whole army. Galron plans to get you out of the way first by using The Devil" Jessie stated though Merlin still didn't look convinced " Please you have to believe me!"

" Why does Galron want Maron and Oran?" Merlin then asked.

" The legend says that the dragonlords had a ritual, there is a statue of the black dragon if all the pieces of that statue are collected along with the blood of a dragonlord you can have a wish granted". Jessie said, Merlin lowered his hand

" That's why he wants Maron and Oran" Merlin said

" He doesn't want the girl" said Jessie " He wants the boy, the dragonlord", Merlin looked at him in confusion

" Then why did they keep Maron alive?" asked Merlin, Jessie inhaled another lungful of air and answered

" To keep the boy calm, he was still young and none of us wanted to parent him so we kept the girl alive for that plus some of the men liked to pay with her once in a while" Jessie said with a smile. Merlin's anger got the better of him when Jessie said this, he used his magic to slam Jessie against the nearest tree and pin him to it.

" You are all monsters!" Merlin spat at him " People who do that sort of thing to her deserve not to live!", Jessie breathed slowly trying not to panic

" I never touched the girl" he said " I was raised by the druids I would never commit such a sin!" Merlin frowned and he dropped Jessie to the ground

" You're a druid?" he asked, Jessie nodded and lifted up his sleeve to show the mark of the druids on his arm " Then why do you work for the druid king? The druids are peaceful people"

" By whole family was killed by Uther, I saw my father killed right in front of me I was lucky to escape that day, I swore my life to get revenge on the Pendragons and Galron offered me a home" Jessie told Merlin

" Then why are you betraying him?" Merlin asked

" They planned the attack on Camelot without me I was Galrons right hand man I was involved in every major discussion but it seemed I had out lived my usefulness in the last few days I was nothing but the devils babysitter" Jessie said then laughed " How the mighty fall"

" Now you're hear beginning for me to help you" Merlin said in a tone that seemed to mock Jessie, Jessie stood up on his feet and looked Merlin right in the eye and was a bit scared by what he saw, there was cold determination in his eyes that signaled he would do anything to protect Maron and Oran, Jessie had seen that look before it was dangerous, Jessie knew he had better watch what he said or he could end up dead.

" I was taught of the legend of Emrys since I was young, I always hoped that you would come and free us so that we could live in peace for years I waited for you and you never came so I took matters into my own hands" Jessie said, Merlin didn't waver he knew what Jessie was trying to do he was trying to blame Merlin for what had happened to him, it wasn't going to work but Merlin knew he needed Jessie's help to stop Galron.

" Where is Galron right now?" Merlin asked

" He is hiding north of the border but I would strongly advise not going straight in to challenge him" Jessie said

" Then what should I do?"

" Pick them off one by one, Galrons army is by no means big but if we can take out The Devil and Droom then we have a much greater chance" Jessie said

" Where is The Devil then?" asked Merlin.

" I can bring it to you, Galron doesn't know of my betrayal I will bring The Devil to you pretending that were attacking you by surprise but you will know about it all along" Jessie said " I'll bring him here at tomorrow at sunset there we shall strike agreed?" Merlin hesitated before answering he was still unsure whether he could trust Jessie or not but this seemed ike his best chance

" Agreed" Merlin said the two shook on it

" Good luck then Emrys" said Jessie, Merlin only nodded and Jessie ran back through the forest.
