Hi guys! I just wanna say a MASSIVE thanks to everyone who has reviewed/favourited/followed my story! I'm really glad for your support!
Disclaimer: If u don't know what this is going to say, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! I don't own Merlin (Shame, tho - that would b awesome!)
Robyn. Robyn. The voice cut through her slumbering mind like a knife. Robyn. She turned over in her sleep, trying to shake away the words. It didn't work.
It was then that the nightmare began.
The shape coming towards her. The fire rushing from its mouth. The screaming, so far away and yet her own. The desperate urge to run, only to have her feet stuck to the hard ground, her legs dead and heavy.
Robyn sat up, shaking violently. She was drenched with sweat, and panting fiercely. She squeezed her eyes shut tightly and opened them again, trying to bring herself back to the real world. The dark shape left as quickly as it came, but try as she might, she couldn't stop the voice from echoing in her ears. It seemed to be calling her from outside Camelot.
The clouds scurried across the moon. A few beads of rain tumbled from the sky. Robyn crouched in the doorway, pulling her cloak tighter around her shoulders. The guard marched past. She darted across the street, hurrying through the gates. The trees shivered.
Robyn broke through the band of trees, the voice still ringing in her head. A huge shape loomed out of the blackness.
The shape from her dream.
She screamed, turning to flee from what she now saw was a dragon, until it opened its mouth to speak:
"Do not be afraid. You are Merlin's sister, are you not?"
"What are you?" Robyn demanded, although her voice trembled as she spoke.
"I am Kilgharrah, the Great Dragon." The dragon could see the young girl trembling. "Do not fear, child, for I will not hurt you. You destiny is intertwined with the warlock's, you have an important part to play."
"I… what are you talking about? I don't know what you mean."
Kilgharrah looked surprised, or as surprised as a dragon can look. "You have magic, do you not?"
"Yes, but…"
"You are more powerful than you realise, more powerful than Merlin realises. You alone can…"
At that very moment, Merlin burst into the clearing. He saw Robyn and ran towards her, hugging her tightly. "Robyn! I was so worried! I woke up and you weren't there… I came to get help finding you!"
"I can travel over a thousand leagues faster than any man can imagine," Kilgharrah supplied.
"I thought you'd gone back to the druids," Merlin said.
"Why? I loved Iseldir and the other druids, but, well, you're my brother!"
Robyn grinned, and the two siblings hugged each other again. The Great Dragon watched, interested. Merlin turned to him.
"I have a question."
"Yes, Merlin, what is it that you want to ask?"
"The queen was taken ill earlier today. It was sorcery; there was no doubt about that. I tried to heal her, but the spell didn't work. I tried it again, and again, but it was hopeless. I was ready to give up…"
"But then I tried," Robyn took over, "and it worked."
"Why?" they asked together.
"Robyn is stronger than you realise, Merlin. Together, you will save Arthur, unaccompanied, Merlin will save this kingdom. But alone, Robyn will save far more than that. Alone, she will save…"
