Magical love part 2

"Merlin!" Lyra cried.

"Lyra? Are you OK?" Merlin stood abruptly.

"Merlin! Gaius gave me this book, he said you'd know what to do..." She gave him the book, which just managed to fit through the small gap between the bars.

Merlin flicked through the pages and stopped on the same page Gaius did. "Abuge áglǽccræft. Abuge áglǽccræft. Abuge áglǽccræft!" he chanted. Nothing happened. Lyra still felt the same way for Mordred.

"It won't work Merlin! what am I to do?"

"Lyra, where is Mordred? Why is he allowing you to wonder around so freely?" Merlin questioned.

"He...he said he had work...to do...He'll return this evening..." Lyra answered, confused at his sudden question.

"I could use magic to get out of this cell," Lyra nodded. Merlin flicked through the pages some more.

"Atot-oilg, a chomlae." Nothing happened, "Ar-focraim uait, asndot-roilce!" Still nothing... "Lyra, stand back." She did as he bid and went as far as she possibly could.

Merlin focused all of his energy on the gate since he couldn't break Mordred's spell on the lock. "Lasa n-uile fil ocum ocus lasa nuile fil indium, ar-focraim atot-oilg! Lasa n-uile fil ocum ocus lasa nuile fil indium, atot-oilcfe, gìallfae dom," Merlin blew off the door making a loud crashing sound.

"Merlin! The guards!" Merlin grimaced.

"Yeah, I didn't think about that! Quickly!" He held out his hand a Lyra took it, then Merlin muttered a spell under his breath and they were somewhere in the forest.

"Merlin where have you taken me?" Lyra demanded to know.

Gwen was taken of guard. She had been wondering the castle walls looking for a job, until she saw a young girl, who reminded Gwen of Morgana, all apart from her eyes... They were as blue as the summer sky. Gwen followed her and waited outside Gaius's quarters listening to the conversation inside...but she couldn't hear them very well, she only got parts of the conversation.

"...used magic..." It was the girl who was speaking.

"...book of spells and enchantments... for removing love spells." Gwen gasped.

"How can I do that? I know nothing of magic." Gwen was getting more and more eager to find out who this girl is.

"...You must go back to Merlin, take this book to him, he'll know what to do." Merlin? She knows Merlin too!? she must have been a friend of Arthur! The thought of her dear friend made her heart sink. Gwen and Arthur weren't lovers, but they were very very close friends... And Guinevere missed him with all her heart.

The girl opened the door and walked down the corridor, unaware of the figure following her...

They had reached the dungeons, the girl went through and the two guards said nothing, but when Gwen tried, one said, putting up his hand, "None shall pass, king's orders." He said.

"But the other lady went and you didn't stop her." she said, accusingly.

"Princess Lyra was Arthur Penndragon's love, and now King Mordred's. She has the right to do as she pleases!"

Gwen stared at the knight, mouth half open. It all made sense now! Mordred is a druid after all! He has magic! He put a love spell on the princess! Gwen wanted to help her, but she wouldn't be able to get passed the guards, so she'd knock on the Royal chamber's door tomorrow.

Hope you enjoyed! :D
