I don't own Merlin, all rights go to BBC. But I do own Leashay and all her ways.
Two days later everything was going great. Shatan's training was going as planned and both Leashay and Merlin had gotten the day off that day. Merlin, who was trying to help her adjust to her new life, had decided to show her around the castle. They were sitting in Rownoch's stall, all talking telepathically, eating dried peaches Leashay had brought from Loonairous. "Leashay, would you like a tour of the castle?" Merlin asked as he stuck another peach in his mouth. "Actually, Leashay that's a good idea." Rownoch said sticking his nose in the bag and eating a peach. "Okay I gess that is okay." Leashay said from where she sat leaned against Rownoch's leg. "Great! Let's go then." Merlin said, standing up. "All right." She said as Merlin offered her a hand up. "See you later Rownoch." "Have fun and stay out of trouble you two" he said as he picked up the bag of peaches in his mouth and handing it to Leashay. "Thanks and we will." Leashay and Merlin walked out of the stable, side by side. Merlin led her up the steps into the castle, "Well I gess I'll show you all the main rooms." He said leading her down the hall. Merlin showed Leashay everything, the dining hall, throne room, everything important. Then he showed her all the less important places, like the kitchen, laundry room, armory, and such. "Leashay I have been wondering, have you met Lady Morgana?" Merlin asked her as they walked along the halls, "no I haven't, was she the black haired girl I saw when I got here?" she said. "Most likely." He said "come on I'll introduce you to her." He led Leashay up farther into the castle. "Those are Arthur's chambers." He said pointing at a door, "hmmmm." She said nodding her head. Merlin walked over to a door, not far from the first one, he knocked on it, "lady Morgana?" he said "Come in." said a girl voice from inside the room. Merlin opened the door and led Leashay in, Morgana was sitting at a mirror, brushing her black hair, and Gwen was folding clothes on the bed. "Oh hello Merlin." She said setting down her brush. "Hello my lady." Merlin said smiling. Morgana looked over to see Leashay standing just behind him. "Oh I didn't see you there, you must be the new horse trainer, Leashay is it?" she said "Yes and it is an honor to meet you."Leashay said nodding her head slightly. "It's nice to meet you to, this is my servant Guinevere." She said looking over to Gwen. "Hi, you can call me Gwen." Gwen said smiling. "Hi Gwen nice to meet you." Leashay said coming out from where she stood behind Merlin. "Well Leashay, Merlin, we were about to have lunch, would you two like to join us?" Morgana said gesturing over to the platter of food on the table. "I don't see why not." Merlin said looking over to Leashay. "Okay then let's eat." She said. They spent more time there then they expected, 4 hours to be exact. They talked and talked, about nothing really. Merlin didn't really talk as much as the 3 girls did but he did have a good time. He was happy to see Leashay make more friends other than him, especially girl friends. Well as it turned out the 3 girls became friends in an instant, it seemed that they had been friends for years. By the time they finally left Morgana's chambers it was late evening, starting to get dark. "I'm going to cook dinner tonight." Leashay said as they walked. "I will when I get back from saying goodnight to Rownoch." " that's fine with me, I'll tell Gaius not to cook tonight" Merlin said "I'll see you there." The twosome went opposite ways and Merlin began to make his way towards the infirmary he was almost there when Arthur came up to him, "Merlin, where is Leashay?" he asked him. "She was going to the stables to check on Rownoch, why do you ask?" Merlin asked "I'm going to ask her on a date now." Arthur said holding his head a little higher. "Really now." Merlin said, but in his mind he was thinking "don't you dare!" in the 3 days that he had known Leashay, she had become one of his closest friends, he was protective of her, he didn't want something to happen to her. "Yes I am. Wish me luck." Arthur said as he began to walk quickly away "Good luck." Merlin said crossing his fingers, and he began to walk away. Leashay was half way across the court yard of the stables when she heard footsteps coming towards her, "Leashay, wait up." She heard Arthur call; she stopped and looked at him "yes sir." She said letting him catch up and starting to walk beside him. "Umm Leashay, I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me tonight?" he said " Sorry I'm cooking dinner tonight for Merlin and Gaius." She said not breaking stride, Arthur was a little taken back by her answer, "Well how about tomorrow night?" he asked again "Can't, riding Rownoch." She said, Arthur was a little confused, "Ummm, tomorrow afternoon?" he tried again. "Nope I have to train your war horse." She said "Well when does it work for you?" he said. Leashay stopped; she was getting very annoyed by this and starting to lose her temper. "Arthur, back off! Can't you tell I'm not interested? I have seen your type okay! You are full of yourself, over bearing, and annoying! The only reason you want to have a girl is so you can walk around saying "Hay everyone look what I have." I have never gone on a date and I plan to keep it that way until I'm good and ready!" she said turning and stomping off into the stable, leaving a very shocked and confused Arthur in the court yard. Rownoch could tell she was mad when she walked into his stall, "Leashay what's wrong?" he asked her nudging her with his nose. "Well Arthur was flirting with me and it was very annoying." She said as she began to calm down. "Do I need to go beat him up for that, little one?" he said. Leashay swung up onto his back and stretched out, "No you don't , big brother." She said hugging his neck. Rownoch was like a big brother to Leashay, he was always watching out for her and keeping her safe. "You know little one, you are 17, back in Loonairouse you could have chosen a mate when you were 14." He said looking at her. " Rownoch are you trying to suggest something?" she said rolling off him onto the straw below, "No I am just saying that there are some nice men around here and you could maybe see about getting married sometime in the future." He said, Leashay looked up at him from where she lay on the ground, "Okay, who?" she asked him. "Well theirs Arthur." He said, she looked at him "No way in hell." She said. They both laughed, "What about Merlin?" he asked. Leashay was quiet for a moment, "well he is a very sweet guy and I do like him." She said standing up, "What! My little sis likes a guy?" Rownoch said. "Oh calm down. I have to go, I'm cooking dinner tonight. Goodnight Rownoch, see you in the morning." She said. "Goodnight little one." He said pressing his nose against her for head. Leashay walked in to the infirmary, met by Merlin sweeping the floor and Gaius looking in a book of some kind. "So what's for dinner?" Merlin asked, "Loonairan fire chicken." She said holding up the chicken in her hand. Leashay cooked dinner, and had completely space that Merlin and Gaius had never had anything as spicy as fire chicken. The two had drank at least a gallon of water each before the meal was done, but Leashay ate hers with no water, she was used to the spicy foods of her home land. Leashay and Merlin lay in bed later that evening, talking as they did every night "Leashay, what were you humming earlier, whe you were cooking?" he asked "My soul song." She said "What is that?" he said. "My people are born with what we call a soul song, it is a song that we are born knowing, those songs are all unique to the individual, every person has a different song, these songs represent who we are. I was humming mine." She explained. "Ohh, well will you sing it please?" Merlin said, wondering what it would sound like. "Okay I gess I can." She said and she began to sing.
I am so high. I can hear heaven.
I am so high. I can hear heaven.
Oh but heaven, no heaven don't hear me.
And they say that a hero can save us.
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.
Someone told me love will ALL save us.
But how can that be, look what love gave us.
A world full of killing, and blood-spilling
that world never came.
And they say that a hero can save us.
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.
Now that the world isn't ending, its love that Im sending to you.
It isnt the love of a hero, and thats why I fear it won't do.
And they say that a hero can save us.
Im not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.
And they're watching us
(Watching Us)
And they're watching us
(Watching Us)
As we all fly ...ooouuhh
"Wow you have an amazing voice." Merlin said turning onto his side to look at her. "Really? Ha I'm not that good." She said laying on her back and looking up at roof. "I'm serious Leashay you have a beautiful voice. You could easily be the best singer in Camalot. So what is that song called?" he asked "maybe, but soul songs don't have names they are just what we think they would be called. I think it would be called Heroes." She said "Ohh. Well you should sing more." Merlin said. "Really and why is that?" she said "Because I would like to hear you sing." He said. "Well I'll try to more okay. Goodnight Merlin." She said turning onto her side and curling up into the blankets. "Goodnight Leashay" he said ads he layed on his back and fell asleep.
