It was night time now and the sky was dark. It was only the moon's rays and their campfire that gave them light to see. Arthur took a deep breath and began.

"Throughout the entire time, were you lying to us?"

Melinda kept quiet for a moment, thinking it over. Finally, she said, "The only time I lied was about my scar. Actually, I don't have one."

"The reason why you wear a hood? Why did you lie?"

"Because I can't show you my face."

"And why not?"

"Because I-"

"Yes little girl, why?"

Melinda turned around just in time to see Morgana put out a hand, her eyes glowed a fiery gold and a stream of light flew out towards Melinda as she stood up and to everyone's shock… it simply disappeared!

It reached a few centimeters in front of Melinda before it seemed to fizzle out. And she didn't even flinch!

"What…?" Morgana said, trailing off as she stared at Melinda.

Melinda stood still for a moment. "You are not going to hurt anyone here."

"You…" Morgana said, confused. "How did you…?"

Melinda sighed. "I would advise you to leave. Now."

"But, but that's impossible! How could you have deflected my attack so easily?"

Morgana watched, stunned, as Melinda 's eyes glowed.

Morgana was thrown back and found herself pinned to the tree behind her; large, strong tree branches held her as she struggled. Everyone watched as Melinda walked towards her as she tried all the incantations she knew, although they seemed to have no effect.

"Why did you come here?"

Morgana looked down at the girl and cursed her hood for hiding her face, the hood's shadow playing on the higher part of her face. All she could see was the girl's lips and chin which seemed oddly familiar.

"I wanted to know more about you." Morgana answered honestly.

"For what purpose?"

Morgana took a moment to collect her thoughts to answer, "You seem intriguingly familiar. I can't put a finger on it though…"

Morgana could see that the girl was biting her lip nervously now.

"Do I know you? In the future?" Morgana asked.

Melinda didn't answer and turned around to walk away.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

"We are done talking Mother."

Immediately Melinda froze in her tracks and all of time seemed to stop. It was so quiet you could hear the crickets chirping.

Did she just say?

"W-what?" Arthur stuttered out, baffled.

Morgana couldn't believe her ears, "M-mother?"

Melinda's hands immediately flew to her mouth in shock.

I can't believe it! I just blew my cover! And it was all because it was out of habit!

Dang it!

Suddenly a loud roar filled the air. Merlin looked up and his eyes widened when he recognized the creatures.

Wyverns!
