Juliana has been Prince Arthur's healer for over a year, when her brother Merlin comes to join her in Camelot. After learning that it is the siblings destiny to guide Arthur to become the Once and Future king, Juliana also finds out she is destined...
Later that night Juliana tossed and turned trying to fall asleep but she just couldn't get comfortable. Just as she was finally starting to doze off, Juliana heard a voice inside her mind calling her.
"Merlin, Juliana.... Merlin, Juliana"
Juliana frowned in confusion but she decided to just ignore it, and she was doing a pretty good job of ignoring the voice until she heard knocking on her door. Letting out an annoyed sigh, Juliana got up to see who was at her house this time of night. When she opened the door, it was Merlin standing there.
"Merlin? What are you doing here? It's the middle of the night."
"Did you hear that? That voice in your head calling our names?" he questioned breathlessly as though he had ran the whole way there.
Juliana nodded her head, "Yes I heard it, but I thought I was just imagining things."
"No I heard it too; I've been hearing it every night since I got here. Come on let's find out what it is." Merlin pulled her out the door, not even giving her time to change out of her night dress.

"Merlin, Juliana." They heard it again. It got louder as they got closer.
They descended down the Wrought Iron Stairway inside the castle. Once they got to the bottom they found a pair of guards paying dice Merlin distracted them by magically rolling their dice away from them. Once they were out of sight he grabbed a torch, lit it, and they began heading down the Tunnel Stairway with Juliana and Merlin laughing the whole way down about the poor guards and how confused they looked that their dice was running away from them.
"Merlin, Juliana... Merlin, Juliana" They had finally arrived, whatever was calling them was on the other side of the door they were in front of.
They walked through the door and were face with a massive cavern.
Suddenly they heard laughing, "Merlin, Juliana."
Looking round they didn't see anyone, "Where are you?" Merlin questioned.
It was quiet for a few seconds, and then there was a loud roar and the sound of wings flapping. The siblings looked up and caught sight of a dragon; a huge, magnificent, dragon. He landed on the rock directly in front of them with a loud thud, making them both jump in shock. Merlin pushed Juliana behind him slightly as they both started at him in amazement.
"I'm here." The dragon replied, and Juliana couldn't help but stare at him in amazement, "How small you both are... for such great destinies."
Juliana was still in shock and all she could reply was, "You're a dragon."
The dragon laughed at her, "Indeed I am."
She smiled in amazement, "You're beautiful." And the dragon's chest seemed to puff up at her words.
