Here we go
Onwards
The meeting passed quickly, everyone agreed to all three points then after a late supper retired for the
night, excited for what the next day would bring. Arthur and Gwen were enjoying breakfast when a polite
knock sounded on the wooden doors of their bedchamber, the king called out and granted Sir Leon
entrance.
"Morning my lord, my lady sorry for interrupting you breakfast."
"Nonsense, come sit have an apple, you look tired is anything wrong?"
"I am my lady, Emrys did not return home last night and I was wondering..."
Arthur spit his cider across the table then coughed a few times in shock, Merlin lived with Leon? When
the hell did that happen? Why was he just finding out now? He put the thought out of his mind lest he
start picturing the two of them together ahhhhhhh nope not going there.
"Pardon me I inhailed wrong, Leon I was unaware Emrys was now living with you I did not realize your
relationship had progressed to that point."
"Yes sire, I proposed a few days ago and my lady agreed. She has been staying in my mothers chambers
ever since but Ashley, her servant, informed me this morning that she did not return home last night I was
hoping one of you knew why. I know I shouldn't be worried considering the power she had to defend
herself but I just..."
" We understand, I haven't seen her since yesterday morning durring court, what about you Arthur my
dear?"
"As I last known Mer...Emrys was staying overnight with Hunith and Gaius for what reason I can not say
but I will tell you she was unharmed when I saw her last, she might still be there."
"I should have thought of that before interrupting ill take my leave excuse me."
After he left Arthur was surprised by the giggle that came from his wife.
"And what pray tell are you giggling at love? Nothing about that was funny."
"Oh come on Arthur I think its sweet. Leon is so overprotective of her when she is the most powerful
magic user in the land. Lets not forget independent to the limit like her brother. I just have a hard time
picturing Emrys as a passive wife that summits to her lord. God knows summisive is so out of charater
Leon sure has his hands full."
********************************birthright****************************************
He did not to run to the physicians tower but the fear and adrenaline that filled him when informed by
Ashley was still heavy inside him, the custom wedding ring hidding in his belt pouch where he put it last
night swayed as he quickly walked up the steps three at a time but no he was not running.
He can't lose her, not again, not like he lost Merlin. It can't happen, it won't happen not this time. Get it
together man! Arthur said she was uninjured, she's fine, she's safe, oh bloddy hell, he had to make sure,
he had to see her, hold her, he wanted to grab her and never let her go.
Reaching the door he forced himself calm as he entered the room with a knock and released a breath he
did not know he was holding. She was sitting eating a small breakfast with the two physicians still
dressed in her blue gown from yesterday, her hair was ruffled, deep blue eyes were puffy and rimmed
with red. She looked like she spent the entire night awake crying, he took two steps and engulfed the
woman he loved in his arms and held on tight closing his eyes and burying his face in her hair to hide his
tears of relief.
*****************************birthright*****************************************
She sighed and crumbled into Leons chest she was so tired. After waking up from her drugged nap she
spent the night pooring her heart out to her family. Every fear, Every insecurity she laid bare now all she
felt was exhausted and raw. The venting helped and she finally got the time to reconect to her family like
she needed and to let go of one more part of her old life, but now that she was in Leons arms did she
realize just how much she needed him. He protected her not from magic or other people but protected her
from herself and that was something Merlin never had. She never heard the conversation going on around
her she just relaxed and held on as her personal knight in shining armor took her into his arms and carried
her home where he sang her to sleep before returning to smell of food called her back into the
waking world and she sat up to see Ashley finishing her bath while humming to herself, a plate of food
sitting on her nightstand.
"Ashley what time of day is it?"
"Hello my lady, umm sorry Emrys, its just after fifth bell I figured after you eat you would like a bath
before you meet with the round table."
"Round table..."
"Oh yes sorry, master Leon informed me the king requested a meeting at seventh bell and that everyone
had to attend, apperently the meeting might take all night."
"It will indeed take most of the night, inform everyone that Leon and I will be returning after midnight
this meeting has been planed for weeks."
"Yes lady Emrys, which dress would you like to use tonight?"
"Just pick me something warm that matches my green cloak please"
"Very well my lady."
*************************************birthright************************************
Two hours later Emrys was sitting on a black mare named Tilly waiting for Leon to drag Gwaine atop his
stallion seeing the knight was too drunk to do it himself. But no one called him out on his drunkness
knowing he did it to prepare for the emotional meeting. The king, queen, three kinghts, two physicians
and one magic creature set off into the woods to a small medow where in a past life Merlin used to gather
herbs. After securing the horses to the trees Emrys created a circle walking the outside carving symbols
into trees, rocks and soil every few feet. Once she placed the last symbol and muddered a few words and
a shimmering gold dome formed then fadded into the night. Then she stumbled into the middle of the
dome and crumbled before she could open her mouth Leon pull her into his lap holding her like she might
vanish.
"Leon love im alright you can let go that was just a large spell, could someone please light a fire I need it
for the summons."
"Emrys what spell did you just cast and why?"
"Nosey much, Sorry Percival dont mind me that spell took a lot and i did not get much sleep last night
its a barrier to keep magic people creatures and anything else from entering or interfering with this
while I sit absolutely defenseless, as long as everyone stays in the circle it will be fine the runes I carved
fuel it. Alright here is what im going to do I will sit in the middle of you all right next to the fire then
place myself in a trance and summon Merlin he should show up moments later. He will be a spirt you
won't be able to touch him meanwhile I won't be able to do anything. I won't hear, feel or be able to
interact with anything until the summons is over, it might get frightening this will drain me but I'll be fine
we ready?"
Emrys focused on the flame then closed her eyes, she contrated on leaving her body holding on to the
single thread of gold. Hovering beside his female body Merlin looked around the medow. The night
shrouded forest in this form was more alive then he ever imagined he could see energy all around and the
souls of his friends glowed like stars it took a moment for him to adjust. Okay part one leave body, part
two change. He pictured his old body in his mind and felt a shiver as his soul conformed, looking down
he saw his lanky male body and smiled it felt good to use his original form again. Next part three
manifestation, once again he focused and willed himself visable drawing on the weave around him to do
so considering he needed his vessel for later, hearing the gasps he knew he did it, he opened his misty
blue eyes and looked at his friends.
"hey guys miss me?"
***********************************birthright**********************************
Everyone gasped when Merlin shimmered into view. Light blue eyes, black hair, big ears and all, he was
dressed in his typical outfit of brown pants and blue shirt with his trademark red scarf and cheeky smile
his voice had a echo quality to it but sounded pretty much the same. Seeing everyone stunned Hunith
stood and walked up to the image of her son. Knowing that it was just a projection and her baby was still
alive none of that mattered she could not resist looking into those eyes that haunted he since he was born.
