Ducks more rotten fruit* I know! I'm late in updating...oh and there's a good chance Arthur might die. But I have a plan! Anyway, please continue reviewing and enjoy the chapter. Oh and I mentioned Freya in the beginning so I plan on following through with that. And here is some Merlin POV for you.

Chapter 12

Merlin's POV

It had shocked Merlin when his friend woke up, He had been even more shocked to hear Freya's name from Arthur's lips. In fact the only thing that didn't shock him was Morgana's return. That woman had an uncanny ability for returning.

Little 'Dalia had surprised him, she wasn't exactly trusting, and yet she had chosen to take Arthur with her to the mountain. The reason Merlin hadn't gone with them was because Gaius had insisted that the princess needed time to get to know her father.

Merlin had reluctantly agreed to stay behind and help entertain the two little girls (Beth and Catie) which had proved to be more difficult then he had anticipated, both girls were energetic and excited. Luckily Gwaine and Leon were both very good at distracting.

Even if Gwaine's method of distraction meant the whole castle getting pranked...and a twenty pound Dog running through the castle. (Merlin was still confused about that one) All in all it was probably better to keep the girls with him.

Merlin did make a promise to himself though. If he survived this battle he would find Freya no matter what happened.

Adalia's POV

No matter what the Dragons said Adalia knew something was wrong. As they rode home Her father kept looking at her with this guilty, sad look. And to tell the truth it frightened her slightly. She wondered exactly what her Dragonets had told him. Almost nothing surprised her anymore, those dragons would tell anyone anything if they thought it would help.

She decided to ask a question, "Have you ever actually met a dragon before? And fighting one doesn't count." He thought for a moment. "Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever had a civil conversation with a dragon, no." She nodded, "I didn't think so. Uncle Merlin talks all the time about Kilgarrah and Aithusa, but he never mentioned you meeting them."

He nodded before asking, "Have you always called Merlin 'Uncle'." She nodded, "when I was little Mamma said he was like a brother to you, I had thought that if I called Mamma's brother uncle I should call Merlin uncle too. Although as a child Unca was the way I said it."

Arthur's POV

He enjoyed learning about his daughter. Since he would have so little time with her getting to know her was important to him. He approved of her calling Merlin 'uncle' It did describe his friendship with the Warlock. Guinevere had seen it immediately for what it was...A brotherhood.

The news that he would die was upsetting. but as long as he took Morgana with him and kept Adalia safe he would die happily, funny that he had only known her for a short time and yet still he would die for his daughter.

I'm feeling guilty now. My Twin just read the chapter and started yelling at me for killing Arthur. LOL!

On that note go check out my sister's page, Lizzie Salvatore. She has some good stories.

Please Review! and stay tuned for the next chapter.
