Percival, of course, joined Brynn and Gwaine. They had explained to Arthur they wished to follow some distance in case Agravaine and Merlin were in trouble, and the Prince agreed to let them.
"Tell me why we are actually following them?" said Percival.
"I suspect Agravaine is not being entirely truthful. After all, why would he even take Merlin and no one else? If they were in trouble Merlin could not help him."
"I see what you mean." Agreed Gwaine.
They went on foot so as to not be heard by the traitor.
"This is insane, the Prince trusts his Uncle!" said Percival.
Brynn stared at him.
"Friend, did you not hear Brynn? This all sounds suspicious." Said Gwaine.
"It sounds more like she wants to pursue Merlin and brought us along as a ploy." Percival retorted before he could stop himself.
"Are you thick Percival? I am not obsessed!" retaliated Brynn.
"Easy you two lovebirds… I think Percival is just jealous and needs to keep his mouth shut." Smiled Gwaine.
Percival flushed and muttered an apology. Brynn forgave him, but still was a little upset with him.
"Let us just keep focused on our mission." She said.
Gwaine said so only Percival could hear, "You really put your foot in your mouth did you not?"
Brynn didn't see Percival smack Gwaine. Gwaine just kept laughing. Brynn looked back questioningly.
"Perc here just told me the funniest joke," grinned Gwaine.
She glowered at him. Gwaine dropped it and remained silent. They were nearing Morgana's hut.
"This is not good… this is Morgana's dwelling," said Brynn, pausing.
"You were right, Arthur will not take this well, I am truly sorry…"
"You are forgiven, even the best men slip words out of their tongues without thinking." said Brynn quietly.
Gwaine laughed.
"You are no different!" she chided.
"And it is essential we stay silent in our present situation." Pointed out Percival.
The other two quietly nodded.
"Ah, you have our guest!" said Morgana with a wicked smile.
"I knew you were up to no good!" said Merlin to Agravaine, glaring at him.
Agravaine just smiled.
"Too bad you cannot run back and tell your precious prince!" said Morgana.
"This is not good, I say we go on the offensive." Said Brynn to her two male comrades.
"Agreed milady." Said Percival.
They rushed forward.
"Ah, Agravaine, it was just to be you and Merlin. But we seem to have more guests." Said Morgana, speaking between her teeth.
"I knew your friend was up to no good and aided my friends." Said Merlin.
"Two measly knights and a witch, how charming!" mocked Morgana.
"Witch?" inquired Percival.
Merlin knew he had to act. If the knights found out Brynn's secret, she was doomed.
"Morgana you are not so great an actress, you are the witch here!" spat Merlin.
With that, Gwaine and Percival charged the witch, but Agravaine drew his sword and dueled them both. Brynn had an extra sword and tossed it to Merlin.
"Thanks." Merlin said.
"Thought it might come in handy." Shrugged Brynn.
But they both knew steel would not stop the enemy, was it worth revealing her secret, both theirs?
