Chapter 11
Adalia's POV
She felt calm...a wave of calm pass over her. She continued on down the hill toward her father. "Father, these are the Dragon hatchlings. Soreth, Kalinth, Gretiem, Camroth, Jielarth," She said indicating each hatchling. "This is Arthur Pendragon...My Father." Each of the dragons bowed to him regally. Arthur looked at her in surprise, this was the first time she had called him her father without getting a look like she was drinking curdled milk.
She smiled at him and motioned towards her dragons, "they wanted to talk to you" she turned and walked a little ways up the mountain.
Arthur's POV
She is happier than you think Arthur Pendragon." He glanced at the dragons "what do you mean?" "Her pain is not something many notice, but Adalia is attuned to us and so her feelings are plain when we are near. She misses her mother. and she is frightened of her feelings for you. But she is happy to meet the man she calls father. we do not think she has ever been so conflicted about one person.
How can she be afraid of me?" She knows the pain of betrayal. Her love is not easily won, but her loyalty is unbreakable. Like her Mother. Arthur sighed.
Give her time Arthur, her fear is that if she gives her heart away again she will lose it for good. what do you mean again? One loved to her betrayed her to Morgana, Is it a wonder she is cautious? We are afraid that if she gives you her love when you leave it will break her for good. I'm not leaving.
The dragons looked at each other. You and Morgana are connected by blood and hate, They explained Her body dispersed but because you did not give the final blow, her soul was only separated into mist. You were dead. But she returned to her full strength so that Albion's need brought you back, meaning that when she truly dies you will return to the land of the dead.
Arthur's face showed his horror and sadness.
Adalia's POV
Aithusa was always a little overprotective, so hearing that Kennan had given a magician the only bracelet that could hinder my powers angered her...I had to talk her out of going to find Him just to make 'Fried Jackass ala Dragon' (her words) It seems my sense of humor is rubbing off on my white dragon mother.
I had barely managed to talk her out of it (and get her to get the bracelet off) when Father came into the cave looking as though he'd seen a ghost. Whats with him? I asked the hatchlings "We told him of your hatred of Kennan and the reason why.' WHAT! It was clear to us that he needed to know and that you would not tell him."
I snorted, "typical dragons." I growled, Father turned and raised an eyebrow at me, "just normal cryptic annoying." I muttered, and he laughed. "Yeah I got that too...do they always do that?" I laughed. "as long as I remember. So 'Thusa wanna help?"
I asked turning to the dragon. she looked at me with the face unreadable...I think she's secretly laughing at me when she does this face...but Merlin forbid she show she's amused.
"you are not a child Adalia, why do you insist on using that voice when asking me something?" I giggle, "'cause it's the baby voice you can't say no to." Father snickers and I look over to him, "you would not believe how many people are susceptible to that voice." I smirk at him and he laughs, "why do I get the feeling you use that voice alot?" I laugh. "'cause I do?"
It's getting easier to talk to him like I would anyone else. Aithusa nudges my arm with her snout, "in answer to your question little one. Yes I will help you." I squeal excitedly...
Guinevere's POV
I have come to a conclusion in my study of Morgana. She is hopelessly and irrevocably Nuts! Not just a little wacky, no she's just nuts. I must be really bored...and sounding like Merlin! SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF HERE!
OK yes I'm freaking out, who wouldn't? but then again maybe I'm not bored, maybe Morgana has infected me with her insaneness! Oh good lord I'm doing it again!
I'm hoping my daughter will show her Pendragon blood and come up with a reckless scheme to get me out of here...like her father would have. My heart shatters a little more each time I compare my daughter to Arthur. She reminds me of him so much, sometimes I see her and expect him to be just around the corner.
His death was unreal for me, when Merlin came back with the news I curled up and wept for days. I neglected myself to the point the knights had to step in. They made me see Gaius and he announced soon after that I was pregnant. I began to take better care of myself and resolved I would never show my child how much I miss my Arthur. Adalia has never known that every night I dream of Arthur and wake in tears. Only to cry myself back to sleep.
I taste salt and I realize I have been crying. I miss him so much!
*sobs* I was crying as I wrote Gwen's part *looks up to see angry faces* I know killing Arthur off again is cruel but *ducks rotten fruit* I have a reason! Bear with me people!
Oh, and I don't own Merlin, if I did this story would be season 6
