Hi! Thanks again fot reviews:)
The dragon is Here!
On with the chap
When night fell and Merlin was still motionless, Gaius was moved to do something he hoped he would never have to do again.
Leaving Merlin in the care of Gwen and Morgana. Gaius headed below the castle to face the Great Dragon.
"So you have finally come to seek my council," the dragon's response to his visit confused Gaius and did nothing to lessen his sense of foreboding. If the Dragon wasn't trying to make him feel guilty for past mistakes the situation was more serious than he had first thought.
"What is wrong with Merlin?" Gaius asked trying to keep his voice free of worry.
"The warlock is falling. When Sigan's energy passed through him, it left his body weak and his magic flaring. Yours and Arthur's treatment of him did not help," So, the Dragon was going to make him feel guilty.
"I know this" Gaius tried to say but was quickly interrupted.
"No you do not! When Merlin became weak, a sorceress, a druid woman, came to know that the power that defeated Sigan was weakening. Using that knowledge, she has separated Merlin's frail body and his spirit," The dragon stopped, bowing his head
"She is using his power. If Arthur cannot defeat her Camelot will burn."
"What she has taken his soul? How can it be returned?" Gaius asked, now openly scared.
"The only way to return his magic is for the object used to bind it is destroyed, during that time his body will get weaker and weaker and if it is not returned in time, Merlin will die."
(With Arthur)
Arthur was patrolling through the dungeons of the castle, when a whisper behind him made him turn.
"Arthur," It said.
Turning he came to face a ball of light floating eerily in midair.
He recognised it at once. It was the light that had saved him in the caves of Ballor.
It started to float away down into the depths of the castle.
Arthur followed it, walking after it into the darkness.
Poor Merlin
