Hime: Hope you enjoy the chapter! I do not own Merlin! Sorry for being so late! I was REALLY REALLY busy!

"Run!" screamed Merlin.

Immediately everyone turned and began running toward the forest. It wasn't long until a loud scream stopped them dead in their tracks.

"HELP!"

The group turned and looked up to see Linda, her body wrapped around in one of the Wyverns tails.

"LINDA!" screamed Merlin and Morgana.

Arthur reached for his sword but was stopped by a new voice.

"Mortal blows does not work on Wyverns"

The group then turned their attention to the other Wyvern and found that the voice belonged to a man that was standing on top of its head. He was a small unattractive man; he had a long dirty brown beard and long shaggy soot black hair. His clothes were mostly dirty and were covered in holes and stains. Morgana wrinkled her nose in distaste at the sight.

The mysterious man jumped down from the Wyvern's head and gracefully landed on his feet. He looked over to Merlin and Morgana.

"However magic attacks doesn't work either on Wyverns."

Morgana gritted her teeth.

The strange man then turned to Merlin, "Would you like to save her?"

Merlin turned to look at Melinda which at that moment was being squeezed tightly by the tail that was entrapping her. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and screamed in agony.

Merlin clenched his fist and looked down to the midget of a man, "What do I have to do?"

The small man smirked, "Very simple, just answer my riddle."

Immediately all the knights groaned.

Another riddle?

"What's the riddle?" asked Morgana.

"A lonely wanderer, wounded with iron, I am smitten with war-blades, sated with strife,
Worn with the sword-edge; I have seen many battles, Much hazardous fighting, oft without hope
Of comforts or help in the carnage of war Ere I perish and fall in the fighting of men.
The leavings of hammers, the handiwork of smiths, Batter and bite me, hard-edged and sharp;
The brunt of the battle I am doomed to endure. In all the folk-stead no leech could I find
With wort or simple to heal my wounds; But day and night with the deadly blows
The marks of the war-blades double and deepen."

It took Merlin and Morgana a couple of seconds to go over the riddle in their minds to get the answer.

"A shield" the two of them answered in sync.

The man nodded and with a wave of his hand, the Wyvern that held Melinda captive released his hold letting Melinda fall to the ground with a thud. Almost immediately, Morgana ran forward to where Melinda was and helped her to her feet who were presently gasping for air.

The queer small man smirked as he turned to the Wyvern he was on earlier and pointed to the pair, "Get them!"

In a flash, the Wyvern got of its feet and flew to where the duo was. Morgana hugged Melinda close to her as it came.

"NO!" screamed Arthur.

"S'enthend' apokhorein nun epitello-o-o!"

Immediately the Wyvern stopped and turned to look at Merlin as did the other Wyvern. The knights turned to look at Merlin and were alarmed to see that his eyes were glowing gold.

Merlin has magic?

Merlin walked toward where the Wyvern and spoke again.

"Dragorn. Non didlkai. Kari miss, epsipass imalla krat. Katostar abore ceriss. Katicur. Me ta sentende divoless. Kar… krisass."

The Wyverns bowed their heads to Merlin and flew upward. With one last bow to Merlin, they turned and took off leaving everyone stunned.

The man who once controlled them couldn't believe his eyes and turned to stare at Merlin.

"You're…you're-!"

"Yes, my name is Merlin Emrys. The last Warlock and Dragonlord. And if you know what's good for you, I suggest you leave before I call the Wyverns back here again to chase after you."

Scared of his wits, the small man turned and ran straight into the forest without another word. And then out of nowhere, Merlin then felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around his waist; he looked down to see that it was Melinda hugging him and her face buried in his shirt.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Merlin chuckled and patted the young girl on the head, "It's okay. I'm just glad you're safe."

Merlin bent down and returned the hug to Melinda, making her cry harder. However, as she was crying, her hood had fallen off. So when Merlin pulled away, he was so shocked by her face that he staggered and fell right on his arse.

"M-morgana?"
