{Yn POV}

I could hear the bells in the background as Merlin yelled at Douxie and I

"Have you any idea what you've done? I knew my apprentices were ignoramuses, but traveling through time? Time!" Merlin shouts in disbelief

"I think we handled ourselves just fine, all things considered." Douxie tries to reason

"And besides," I step in, "It was your idea for us to travel through time. You're the one who told us to use the time map." I point an angry finger at Merlin

"Well, then, you two must have botched it up! My planning is flawless." Merlin says pointing a finger back between the two of us

I am angered by his accusation, but I bite my tongue to avoid an unnecessary argument. There was no winning when it came to Merlin and his pride.

I could see Douxie was also a bit annoyed at Merlin's comment

"For the record, master, I had nothing to do with this," Past Douxie piped up, "Neither did Yn, in fact, she didn't even know what was going on until I filled her in a few moments ago! They did, which is us, and... ugh! Time travel, so confusing!"

I roll my eyes. I can't believe I loved this idiot back when he was like this. He has definitely matured.

Merlin walks over to his safe and pulls out the time map

When he opens it, it turns red and Merlin flinches back

"Aah! The timelines are in complete disarray!"

"Look, Yn and I can fix this, I swear!" Douxie says as Merlin places the time map on the table

"Ah-ah, your meddling has already wreaked enough havoc on history," Merlin says sternly

"Then surely we can use the time map to change things back, and then it'll all be as it was." Archie offers as we all stare at the time map which at the moment was a bright red

"Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way," Magnus says

"Magnus is correct, the map only offers glimpses of possible futures. There are no detailed instructions." Merlin tells us. The time map returns to its original blue color as Douxie reaches for it

"Oh, come on, it's not that bad,"

Merlin slaps Douxies hand away from the time map. He focuses once again on the map and gasps in shock.

"Aah! By my beard, not that bad, eh?' he moves out of the way and shows a dead Arthur being projected

"Oh fuzz buckets," Douxie and his past selves say in sync

"That is a bit of a problem," I add with a nervous smile

"A little problem? Your little dungeon break must have changed fate. Now, unless I stop it, the king will die!" Merlin states angrily

Both Douxie and I along with our past selves look at each other in fear.

-Time Skip-

Douxie and I look out of the horse stall to see all the knights gathering together their supplies and rations.

"They're hunting Jim! If they catch him he'll be killed!" Claire says to us

"I know, and he's not the only one. Because of us, Arthur's now fated to eat the big one too!" Douxie says

"It's all our fault," I say quietly. Claire doesn't seem to hear me, but Douxie does as he looks at me with a sad look in his eyes.

I don't notice him reaching out to me when Steve walts in, grabbing all of our attention
