Hi guys! I'm super sorry for not updating! I had been really busy. You see, I had these major exams called 'O' Levels which I had to study for and devote all my time to because my past prelims, I REALLY haven't been doing well. But now, my Os are over so I'm free! I might be posting more often/post more stories to avoid thinking about my Os. They're really important and if I don't do well…well…let's just say my mum would personally dig my grave for me…

So yeah….my results would come out in January and I pray that things would come out alright.

So let's just get on with the story yeah? :)

Happy reading! :D

Arthur had buried his face in his hands; he wished he hadn't been so stupid & put two and two together earlier. It must have really hurt Merlin to go right out and said his father, Balinore died.

"Uncle?"

Arthur looked up to see Melinda smiling reassuringly, "Don't worry about Father. He doesn't stay angry for very long."

Arthur just stared at her in response. Even though Melinda was the spitting image of his half-sister, she had Merlin's eyes and his aura. Arthur always wondered why Merlin had this knowingness, this aura that things would always work out. Now, he knew why because Merlin was always there, saving him and being there for him in his times of need. Now it seemed, Melinda also shared that quality.

Finally, Arthur relaxed. He smiled and patted his future niece on the head, "Thank you Melinda."

Melinda smiled in return, "You're welcome."

From afar, Morgana was watching with a soft look on her face. She had to admit that it was shocking that Merlin was Emrys and her future husband but seeing Melinda, right there, in front of her, gave Morgana hope. Hope that she could give up revenge, hope that she could have the fairytale ending she always wanted, hope that things would get better.

"Arthur?"

Everyone turned to see Merlin and Lancelot emerging from the woods.

Merlin turned to Arthur, "Arthur, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have-"

"No" the blonde prince cut him off. "It was my fault to begin with. Let's pretend it never happened."

Merlin grinned, "Agreed."

The two shook hands and gave each other a 'manly' one-armed hug but were soon interrupted.

"Hate to break up this lovely moment, but don't we have to send a certain little girl back?" asked Gwaine.

Everyone agreed and once they had packed up all their things. They continued their journey.

Later, the group finally reached a fork in the path. A huge wall in front of them, made of vines stood their way. Elyan tried to cut their way through with his sord as he had just sharpened his but it was to no avail.

"Let me try" said Morgana.

She stretched out her hand and her eyes glowed gold as she chanted, "Ástríce!"

Immediately, a ball of fire shot out of her hand but when it touched the vine wall, it did no damage at all!

Morgana was appalled, "What on earth?! My magic had no effect?"

"May I try something?" asked Melinda politely.

Morgana stepped aside, allowing Melinda to come up to the front. When she reached there, Melinda took off the golden bracelet on her wrist and chanted, "Tharinna imbicentra. Orpha hormanace doll"

Immediately, the bracelet changed into a very familiar dagger.

"That's the dagger I gave Morgana for her birthday!" exclaimed Arthur.

"Why do you have that?" asked Leon.

"Mother gave it to me" Melinda answered, sneaking a look at Morgana.

Morgana couldn't help but smirk, "Good, then we'll match."

Merlin looked at her in confusion until Morgana pulled out her own dagger.

"You still have it?" asked Arthur, surprised.

"Yes, I thought it would come in handy one day. Guess I was right."

Percival knew she was lying; the dagger looked to be well kept, regularly polished and sharpened even.

'She cherished it' he realized.

Morgana took a step forward and together with Melinda, their eyes glowed gold as they slashed the vine wall with their identical daggers. Much to their delight, there was a cut!

Melinda cheered and hugged her mother, making Morgana smile causing the men behind her to look on with a soft look in their eyes.

That's the Morgana we know.

Merlin interrupted the moment though with a cough.

"Excuse me but I think I could help you girls with that."

In a flash, Merlin stole Arthur's sword and walked to the front, twirling the sword in his hand as he did so. The knights stared at him in awe.

Merlin could do that?

"Variel vangros!"

With a mighty slash, the whole wall began to shake and crumble.

"Take cover behind the trees!" yelled Leon.

Immediately, the group did so but Morgana tripped on the way.

"Mother!" screamed Melinda.

Merlin stopped and turned around, "Melinda go! I'll get your mother!"

Melinda did as she was told and continued to run whilst Merlin ran to where Morgana was.

"Can you stand?"

"No...my leg…I think I twisted my ankle."

There was no time to use a spell to heal her so quickly, Merlin picked her up bridal style and ran to where Melinda and the other knights were. He put the powerful witch down and let Morgana lean against him for support as he turned back to see the damage.

"Wow" Melinda couldn't help but say.

"Beautiful" Arthur breathed, marveling at the sight before him.

His knights couldn't agree more, the vine wall crumbled to reveal the most mystifying and magical place they had ever seen.

Please review!

Also, please forgive me if it is not up to my usual standard, I haven't written in a while so…yeah.

Bye bye now! :)
