Helga as she looked at them blinked in shock before relaxing knowing that Anberine cared about them, no matter who they were related to or what they were.“I can’t ask that of Merlia nor Mordred for anything, especially they are not ready for it S-Sire” Anberine said while looking down for a bit before giving Skye a stern look, hoping to spare her friends any more pain.“Sorry” she added in a firm tone that left him almost shaking with mixed emotions.“We need answers! If Merlin can somehow help us uncover what Father’s hiding-” Skye raised his voice only to see her pursing her lips in anger.“And then what?!” Anberine snapped, shocking him into silence.His lips parted and his body froze from how she spoke- stern and unbending, as if nothing he could say could sway her.In truth it scared him, it caused fear to slip into his bones making him completely unsettled.How did she do that? Making him feel vulnerable and ashamed for being weak, showing signs is bad enough, but it was out th
The trio silently walked towards the Restricted Section with Skye leading the way, the girls walked side by side while Anberine gave Merlia occasional glances from time to time despite trying to keep it subtle.However after the fourth glance Anberine almost jumped and stopped as she took notice of her left hand being grabbed. Looking at Merlia, she noticed a calm smile forming on her face.At times Merlia truly did feel blessed to have a friend like her, unfortunately it did leave her worried when Anberine often could be seen having her heart on her sleeve. Even though the timid girl did try to keep it from being noticed."Anbery, I'll be fine don't worry about me" Merlia said in a serene tone as she tilted her head to the side causing her curls to rest on her right shoulder, biting her lip Anberine looked back at her."Are you sure, Merlia? We can just abandon the plan. I'm not putting you through anymore pain just because of what the prince claims to see" Anberine said sternly only
“And he still smites me with his words” Merlin chuckled, earning himself a humorous chuckle from Arthur who in turn looked back at him while resting his head on his right hand.
With one hand Merlia gestured quickly for Anberine to take a look, confusing the girl as she peered at the book while standing beside her friend.“My time is nigh and I fear for our kingdom. I was a fool, a true fool to have allowed him into our kingdom. If I had known then I wouldn’t have had to lose so much.We have no more options left and my wife is due. Our child must not die or the kingdom will fall. For this, they will need to…” to their dismay the next page had been torn, signaling that someone had ripped away whatever had been written.“This writing looks like it’s only hundreds old compared to King Arthur’s writing” Anberine commented with curious eyes as she examined the page carefully, checking to see if there were any clues that she was missing.Skye as he stared at the page frowned as questions formed in his mind as to who would have done such a thing.“This must be talking about the skirmish that took place two generations ago” Anberine and Merlia stared at Skye in surpr
“I shall take a leap of faith.I know of our err, our crimes that were passed to us from previous generations. However
"However... despite all this" Merlia paused to smile faintly at the letter, mindful to avoid letting any tears touch the letter as best she could."I'm sure... no, I know he will be happy" Merlia soon wiped a stray tear from her tear-soaked face, seeing this Anberine hugged her friend dearly while they enjoyed the silence briefly. Knowing that they would have to head back and report on what they now knew.Despite a few sniffles entering their ears, they relaxed knowing that this place felt safe.
Skye meanwhile became more and more vexed, mostly thanks to the fact Elaine was spying on him as the days went on.Skye was sure that he had now gone paranoid about seeing his father’s spies thanks to the occasional shivers he gained at various places of the castle.At times it left him loo
“She’s not all that bad” Skye muttered as he finished making the Scar Removal Potion without any errors this time around to his relief, as anxious as he was about making it. It did surprise him on how much of a difference things were now for him, compared to before he wouldn't be about to fathom on how to make even the most easiest potions and now he had the confidence to do it in his sleep... if he wanted to.Not that Skye would try since he feared that he would burn his dorm room down. Something his father would definitely thank him for.
