“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
