Hime: Sorry I was so late! I was really busy with school! Hope you enjoy this chapter!


The group immediately stopped walking when they heard a familiar voice.

"Lady Morgana, could you please hurry?"

Arthur froze, not believing what he was hearing.

Agravaine?

"Does the forest disturb you Agravaine?"

"To be truthful, yes it does."

Morgana rolled her eyes at her minion's fear, "Oh relax Agravaine! The forest creatures will not disturb you nor I since I AM the High Priestess of the Triple Goddess."

"Well yes but-"

"Keep quiet and leave me be Agravaine" snapped Morgana.

The group heard Agravaine sigh deeply, followed by the sound of rustling bushes and before they knew it, he appeared before them.

"Agravaine"

The black haired man raised his head at the familiar voice and his widened in shock when it was Arthur.

"S-sire! I w-was j-just-!"

"Save it" Arthur drew is sword, his eyes blazing with fury. "Prepare to die for your treachery Agravaine."

"Not so fast."

Morgana emerged from the bushes, her eyes glowing a fiery gold and she put out her hand, causing a stream of light to fly out towards Arthur, knocking him and the rest of the group backwards. There, they found themselves pinned to the trees behind them, invisible bonds held them as they struggled. Morgana walked towards them whilst Agravaine watched from behind, his face showing a mix of emotions, unsure of what to do.

Morgana's gaze lingered to all of them but stopped on Melinda.

"Who is she?" she asked Arthur.

"None of your business Morgana" Arthur replied her coldly.

"I can make it mine" she told him.

"My name is Linda."

Morgana turned to look at Melinda, curiosity playing on her beautiful features.

"Why do you travel with Arthur and his knights in this kind of place?"

"There's something I need here."

"Which is?"

"I'm afraid that's none of your business."

Morgana scowled and clenched her fist which seemed to tighten the hold on Linda.

"Tell me" she hissed.

"I'm…from…the…future!" Melinda managed to choke out.

Morgana released her hand looked at the hooded girl skeptically as took in big gulps of air.

"The future?"

"Yes…"

"Prove it" she challenged.

Melinda sighed but did so, "Arthur Pendragon became King when his father, Uther died. He married Sir Elyan's sister, Gweneviere and had 3 children with her. All his knights have married as well; Sir Elyan, Sir Lancelot, Sir Percival and Sir Gwaine, each had one son whilst Sir Leon had two daughters."

Leon frowned, "No sons?"

Melinda shook her head.

"And what about Merlin?" Arthur asked.

Melinda flinched slightly before answering, "He had 4 children."

"4?" Merlin asked, shocked.

"That's above the average number Camelot families produce children!" said an equally surprised Arthur.

"The average?" asked Percival. "What's the average?"

"3" Leon answered.

"And above the average is rare" added Arthur.

Gwaine grinned, "Way to go Merlin!"

Merlin couldn't believe it…4?

Morgana rolled her eyes, "Hmmph! I myself find it very hard to believe that anyone would even want to marry Merlin."

Merlin's mouth twitched at Morgana's harsh words, "Well! I would never believe anyone would marry a wrench like you!"

Morgana gasped but quickly regained her composure and glared at him, "Big eared buffoon!"

"Ugly witch!"

"Stupid imbecile!"

For a while, it was just Merlin and Morgana spewing insults at each other with everyone else looking on, amused greatly.

"Oh just shut up!" yelled Morgana, frustrated after a good 10 minute verbal battle with the warlock.

"Tired already?" teased Merlin.

"Do you ever shut your mouth?" she asked through clenched teeth.

"Never" Arthur told her.

Morgana groaned and rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"My lady, would you like me to finish them off?"

Morgana turn to look at Agravaine, she had forgotten he was there.

"Alright but be quick about it."

Agravaine nodded and stepped forward, his sword drawn and raised it high above his head, ready to strike at Arthur.

"Goodbye Arthur."

But before he could even move the sword, he felt it's handle heat up in his and immediately dropped it, clutching his hand and screaming in pain.

Morgana frowned and turned to see that Melinda's eyes glowing gold.

"You have magic!"

Melinda smirked as her eyes glowed even brighter. Before Morgana knew it, she felt herself being thrown back and fell, hard.

"My lady!"

Agravaine tried to run to where Morgana was but stopped when he felt a hilt of a sword pressed at his back. He turned to see it was Arthur.

They're free!

"Goodbye to you, Agravaine."

In one swift moment, Arthur stabbed Agravaine in the heart, killing him instantly. He pulled out the sword and Agravaine fell forward, dead.

Morgana stared at Agravaine's lifeless body for a moment before raising her head to glare at the group before her as she got back on her feet, "You'll pay! You will all pay!"

And with a blast of wind, she disappeared into thin air cackling loudly like witch she was.

The men sighed in relief whilst Melinda tensed as she knew what was coming.

"Linda?" Arthur asked as he cleaned his sword with a rag Merlin provided.

"Y-yes?" she timidly answered, looking at Arthur.

"Tonight, you'll explain everything." he told her as he kept away his sword.

"Yes sir"

'I hope this all works out…' thought Melinda.
