"Is everyone alright!??"

I ask after a while of just silence before Morgana and Arthur open their eyes looking around the cavern before looking back at me and Merlin and then at each other.

"Is it dead?"

I stare at the cloud of ash on the ground behind Arthur. Morgana and Merlin, we're staring at me, more staring at my body because Arthur's jacket was still around me, making me blush profusely as I rip it off from around me as I throw it back to him. I could see both of them smirking at me too.

"Come on, let's get out of here we can't waste time we need to get Gwen out of there before it's too late for her." 

Morgana says, grabbing my hand as she pulls me along with her walking back out of this damn place. I could hear Arthur telling Merlin to shut up from behind us as we walk up the steps from the tunnels and closing the door that was open as all of us were out of there. Merlin locks the door as we head back into the castle. Merlin and I run to Gaius to tell him what happened, as he runs to tell the King now. Sir Nathaniel, one of the guards that watch over Gwen's cell opens the door after unlocking it for us and Tom, Gwen's father, as the four of us enter her cell.

"Dad!" She exclaims hugging him tightly now as we stand behind them right now, I couldn't help but cry happy tears right now as I watch them hugging. Morgana smiling as well as Merlin now.

"Oh, my little child!" 

Tom happily smiles at his daughter wiping some hair from her face he then kisses her forehead happy that she's going to be okay now. After a while, he lets go of his daughter as Guinevere reaches to grasp Morgana's hand. They smile at each other now.

"Thank you!" She cries hugging her friend after a while before Morgana says:

"Don't thank me. It was more Merlin and Mira."

"Really?" Gwen asks looking at the two of us, making me smile as she comes over to hug me and Merlin.

"They are the real heroes here." Morgana says smirking.

"I don't know what to say." Gwen says as both Merlin and I shrug at her too.

"We didn't do anything." We both said at the same time.

"I'm- I'm grateful to you all. Come on, Gwen." 

Tom says to us before he and Gwen leave the cell. We leave a little later, Morgan pulls Merlin aside as I go up the stairs, only hearing them now. She was talking about some secret, I was slightly worried that she knows about our magic, only to then hear that she knows that he likes Gwen and that she'll keep it a secret then. I couldn't help but giggle at the way he was acting. I head back up to my chambers, noticing how tired I am because of everything that happened down in the tunnels and inside the Water Cavern too. Arthur and Morgana invite me to eat dinner with them again, I couldn't help but still get that feeling like someone's watching us, mostly Merlin and Me to be honest. I really try to put that in the back of my mind so I could relax, talk and eat with my friends. After they left after a wonderful dinner together I still had that feeling; hardly getting any sleep at all because of this feeling even if I took the tonic before I went to bed.

((A FEW DAYS LATER))

      It's mid-afternoon as I stand by Arthur and Morgana as Lord Bayard and his men arrive in Camelot, they meet Uther and his men in the Throne Room.

"Camelot welcomes you, Lord Bayard of Mercia. The treaty we sign today marks an end to war and a beginning to a new friendship between our people."

Uther announces to all in the throne room. After a bit of time, Uther and Bayard grasp arms and both parties applaud while this dark-haired, blue-eyed girl stares at Merlin from where I can see. But something about this girl wasn't right to me, I couldn't pinpoint why at this time but I was sure if anything wasn't right about her that I would tell anyone I trusted. Uther and Bayard talk for a while before he and his party slowly arrive in the rooms that they are going to be staying in for the treaty signing and feast that'll happen soon. I wanted to find Gaius and talk to him and Merlin about what the dragon said about my destiny because thinking about what it is, is making me go crazy. I find Gaius only to then see Merlin in the Upper Corridor while carrying a heavy bag.
