Avalon- A Merlin FanFic

Chapter 7- An Answer

Merlin's POV

'Please stop calling me Emrys.'

'What?' Avie asked, looking confused at my sudden outburst.

'My name is Merlin, not Emrys. Emrys is the name given to me by the druids. It is not a name that I am used to being called, and it unsettles me.' I explained.

'Alright, Merlin it is, then.'

It made me more comfortable to know that I wouldn't have Avie calling me Emrys all the time. I did not particularly like the name, and I tried to avoid it's usage wherever possible.

However, I had more things to think about. What should I say? Should I help take down Morgana? Or should I try to lay low and help Camelot as much as I possibly can undercover?

But Avie needed help just as much as I did.

'Avie, I will help you fight Morgana.'

'Thankyou...... Merlin. She must be stopped. Although it will not be easy. High priestesses are fiendishly difficult to best in a fight. But with two of us the odds will be more in our favour than they were before.'

What concerned me a great deal was exactly how powerful Morgana had grown. It unsettled me to think that she may have grown to be stronger than I could have ever anticipated.

She had to be stopped, and fast.

But I was unsure as to how much we could actually do to fight her. High priestesses possessed strong powers. I was not a powerful sorcerer, despite what Avie seemed to think.

Part of me seriously doubted everything she had said about me being a part of this 'Triunity'. A part of me still doubted how trustworthy she was, but I was beginning to feel more comfortable around her, and her presence was worrying me less and less with each passing hour. She seemed to hate Morgana almost as much as I did, meaning we had a common enemy.

Surely there had to be other magic users willing to fight Morgana and be allies of Camelot?

I realise that Avie may not be all bad. She was a nice person and I, more than anyone, could sympathise with her. But I still had to be careful, for the sake of Camelot. I knew that she understood this, and wasn't offended by my reluctance to trust her.

Right now though, I had to push my concerns to one side. Avie and the elves were the best hope of defeating Morgana once and for all. I knew I stood no chance facing her alone, and I needed all the allies I could get.

The elves are not my biggest threat.

Avalon's POV

'Avalon, would you please come in here for one second?'

I put down the silverware that I was polishing and walked into the next room, where that Queen was waiting for me.

'Yes, my lady?'

'I have something important to discuss with you.'

Part of me was instantly concerned. 'What would that be, my lady?'

'Avalon, Morgana is bringing a huge army to Camelot. She is 6 days away from us. I wanted to let you know so that you could prepare for a possible attack.'

'Thankyou, my lady.' I curtsied and walked out of the room.

The time had come quicker than I thought. I had not expected an attack from Morgana for at least a few months. She must have grown stronger since attacking my people. I had to find Merlin, and discuss our course of action.

Author's Note: Short chapter, I know. Also, it's unedited so there may be a few mistakes in there. It is kind of filler but I needed to include this sort of scene. Hope you guys liked it :)
