*Merlin belongs to BBC. Not me.
"Hey, how are you?" Hunith was pulled our of her reminiscence. Her warm, tired eyes looked at Merlin.
"Fine," she replied. Actually, Hunith felt like she was slipping. Though the pain was fading, her thoughts more muddled, her eyes more heavy.
Merlin looked at her skeptically. "No you're not."
Hunith decided to spill a few beans. "You're right. I'm not." Tears glittered like crystal in Merlin's eyes. "Come here." Like the little boy he felt like, Merlin rushed over to his mother's bedside. She stroked his hair while saying, "Sh...It'll be okay..."
Merlin sniffled. "No it won't! You're going to die!" The dam broke. Merlin began sobbing.
"Sh...Merlin...Merlin, Merlin!" Merlin's head shot up, his blue eyes rimmed with red and tears. "Crying isn't going to do anything. Neither is working yourself to near death to try to find a cure." Like a five-year-old, Merlin wiped his nose on his sleeve.
"Before I say anything else, promise me you won't start sobbing again. Time is limited." Merlin nodded.
"I am dying, Merlin." Merlin struggled not to cry. "Just remember two things. First of all, you are a special child, destined for great things. Protect yourself, protect Arthur, protect Camelot." Merlin nodded firmly.
"And remember that even in death, I will love you and be there for you." Tears ran silently down Merlin's face.
"Now, go get me some flowers." Merlin looked reluctant to do so at first, then decided to follow orders for once.
As soon as the door shut, an echoing voice said, "Hello Hunith."
The pain and fuzziness left Hunith. For the first time in days, she got out of bed. "Hello Death," Hunith replied.
A figure stepped out from behind a now taller Death. "Hello Hunith," a familiar voice greeted.
"Balinor," Hunith whispered. Balinor held out a hand, which Hunith took gladly. They embraced and Hunith stared into his blue-grey eyes, those stormy eyes, those eyes that she loved, those eyes...those eyes...
Hunith's eyes fluttered to a close, her breath gradually slowed, but a small smile grew on her face.
Hunith was at peace.
