Chapter 18

Callum and Adianna walked into the village laughing. They saw Hunith standing in her door way crying before they saw Uther. "Hunith what's wrong?" Adianna asked
"n...Nothing. Just go and get Merlin and leave this place. Please" she sobbed
"Hunith what's going on?" Callum pushed Adianna behind him when he saw the way Huniths eyes kept darting back inside
"who's in there" he yelled "you can show yourself peacefully or I'll you it your choice" Callum's eyes flashed gold. A laugh came from inside the building "you would use magic on your own father" Uther stepped into the doorway pushing Hunith to the ground. When Hunith fell Adianna was immediately at her side holding the sobbing women against her
"well, well isn't it the beautiful Adianna" Uther smiled leaning against the door frame
"what are you doing here?" Callum spat
"I'm here to bring Arthur back of course, he is still the prince after all I think he's been ignoring his duties for far too long don't you?" Uther looked out into the distance "But I am curious Where is that young Merlin I do miss him" Callum punched Uther in the face "he's safe away from you that's all you need to know" he hissed glaring at Uther. Uther smiled to himself as he drew a dagger from his belt time to end this he thought.

One minute Adianna saw Callum towering over Uther looking like the powerful warlock he had always been to her. The next he was clutching his stomach gasping for breath as he feel to the ground. She didn't even realise the scream that lingered in the air was her own.

The first thing Arthur heard as they entered the village was someone screaming. The first thing Merlin saw was a small group of people around his house crowding around a body. Running forwards towards the crowd Arthur fell to his knees when he saw Adianna crying desperately clinging to Callum's pale body. Merlin kneeled beside Callum checking for any sigh that he was still alive.
"He has a pulse" Merlin tried to pull Adianna off Callum
"Callum please. Wake up please don't leave me here" Adianna fought against Merlin trying to hold Callum again
"Adianna STOP he's going to ok just clam down" Merlin held his shaking friend. This the first time Adianna actually noticed Merlin
"Merlin PLEASE you have to, use you magic PLEASE you have to save him" she begged clinging to his shirt
"I...I don't know if I can" Merlin whispered,
Please Merlin try please" Arthur appeared on the other side of Adianna pulling her away from Merlin hugging her close as he looked down at his brother, Merlin looked at Arthur and smiled weakly "I'll try"

Taking a deep breath in Merlin summoned every fibre of magic he had within him. As Merlin raised his hand the crowd gasped as Merlins eyes turned golden like the sun and he began to chant in a language no one knew. He continued chanting until Callum's wound had healed. Gasping for breath Callum's eyes flew open and Merlin fell backwards.

"Merlin" Arthur yelled trying to catch this head before it hit the ground
"what's wrong with him?" Hunith asked looking over her son trying to find the reason why he had collapsed. Callum sat up and took in his surroundings "Nothing" he shook his head "the spell just take up a lot of energy" he rubbed the side of his head before Adianna threw herself into his arms
"how do you know?" she asked
"I've used it before" Callum shrugged, Arthur looked up shocked "on who?"
"an old lady I meet outside Adianna's kingdom" Callum shrugged
"how long will he stay like this?" Arthur pulled Merlin up so he was resting on his lap
"no more than 5 hours" Arthur nodded picking Merlin up and caring him inside the house once again.

"Wait where's Uther?" Hunith yelled looking around the house
"I can't see him, must have run off when Arthur and Merlin showed up" Callum laughed
"I hope so" Adianna followed the others inside.

No one noticed him.
Uther stood by a tree behind Merlin's house. He heard every word they said. They didn't notice him, so they never saw his plan coming
