I didn’t think that it was possible to change every last aspect of my life in such a short period of time, but Kevin did it and quite easily at that. I immediately thought that Elizabeth had magic as well, but he denied it and put that claim
When Merlin was a little older than I, he went to Camelot to live with his mother’s friend: the court physician, Gaius. That’s where he met the ancient dragon, Kilgharrah, who told him of his destiny. Merlin was meant to help King Arthur unit
We travelled through the mountains for what felt like three long, tedious days, but we had no way of knowing how long we were encased in the ridge since we couldn’t see the sun. I do remember the walk to be a very somber one at the beginning. After Nara cleaned my wound, none of us spoke to each other, with the exception of George and Donatello following a map Merlin had left us.
We continued our journey, and I kept trying to find the perfect time to ask them, but there was never a good time. At one point, George started an argument on the right way to cut sandwiches and it split the group into teams, with Arthur and I as the spectators. George and Nathaniel were affirmative in the resolve which states sandwiches should be cut into triangles. Joan, Donatello, and Nara opposed stating that sandwiches should be cut straight down the middle for the most efficiency.
The Great Forest has always been a magical place. A place filled with hope and wonder, but I always thought that was just an exaggeration. That is until I laid my eyes on the leagues upon leagues of trees, stretching as far as the eye could see until it made contact with the sky. The sun turned those forest greens into warm orange tones as it rose over the vast wood.
The bustling city is filled with smells and sounds that I had forgotten during the treacherous journey. The thousands of colours that paint my diverse kingdom and the equally diverse people who bring it to life and give it meaning. The ones who give me meaning. There are five main roads that point in the direction of each of our neighboring countries, a sign of peace amongst us, but the Pasiphaen route had been empty since the day of the massacre.
Elizabeth’s superiority in the fight was obvious, after all, she had been swinging that sword around for as I long as I can remember. She carefully looked for Arthur and I and managed to drive us out of our hiding spot and into a chase. I ran until we got to a
“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Arthur worryingly asked as we snuck around the palace garden, trying to avoid any guards. Truth be told, this was a horrible idea, but I thought going back meant I accepted the fact that Elizabeth, as well as everyone else, didn’t think I could
I held my breath as I jumped from the top of the stairs back to the floor, careful not to let my landing make a lot of noise. I stuck the landing as quietly as I could and celebrated a little before turning around and going face to face with the devil that started all of this. I didn’t understand why Paul would go as far as to use magic to kill the kings and queens, but I also didn’t have the time to sit around and listen to his emotional backstory.
