Arthur's Return (Merlin BBC)

Chapter III.

I stepped inside the tor and looked around. It was magnificent.

I turned around and froze when I saw a shadow. A scream escaped from my mouth panickly.

Suddenly a person came closer to the light and I saw who it was. A man with a long beard and a red cloak.

„Hello Emma“ he said happily.

„That's impossible!“ I said shaking my head.

„Told you we will meet again.“he said.

„Who are you and why do you follow me? “ I  was so scared my knees started to shake.

„Oh right… I totally forgot that I didn't introduce myself to you… You know it's really hard to remember when your so old. “ he laughed at himself.

I was just staring at him curiously. He looked at me clously and than spoke

„You changed a lot since I last saw you.“

„And you didn't. At all. I thought you died years ago- But tell me who are you?“ I took a step back.

„Oh, yes, yes. I'm… Merlin.“ After a second of silence I burst into laughter.

„Haha.. Right. You, Merlin. Do you really think I believe this. Haha.. Yeah right and I'm Harry Potter. Don't come near or I will Avada Kedavra you.. haha so stupid.“

As I was laughing at this he looked at me with with a little smile on his face.

Then he said „You should know that this spell doesn't exist. And besides, if I wasn't a real wizard how could I do this?“ he made a move with his hands and suddenly there was a butterfly made out of air.

It flew past me and suddenly dissapered as I tried to catch it with my hand.

„How did you do it?“ I looked at him.

„Well, there's a spell tha-“

„No, I mean where is the projector that reflects the picture“ I looked around the tor to find it.

„I don't know what you mean.“ He said calmly.

“Is this a joke or something?” I looked him straight into the eyes.

He came closer to me “I told you, I’m Merlin. The wizard. You remember when we met I gave you this crystal… ” he pointed to my necklace.

I took it in the hand and looked at it.

“ I gave it to you because I need your help.” he continued.

“Why me?” I looked at him.

He looked up at the bright stars “ Do you know about the legend of Arthur…” I nod.

“Well, then you should know about the rising again-suff. But I’m sure you don’t know everything about the legend. Everyone forgot a big part of the prophecy. It says that a person will come and help Arthur and Merlin to make it come true. Did you ever, wonder why it says the once and future king? It’s because of you.” he pointed at me as I looked at him like he’s a totally freak.

“You will change the plot and make everything alright… And the future will be saved of the dark magic that could appear at any time… I don’t know how you will do it, but I can’t leave this world without completing this prophecy. I lived for century’s now and I knew that you were the one person from the moment I saw you. You are a relative to Arthur Pendragon. And you have special abilities.” he said.

“Wait. Do you think I’m so stupid? I know exactly that Arthur didn’t had children or any other siblings than Morgana.”

”Oh.. you people easily forget everything… Arthur indeed had an other sibling. It was just not from Uther. It was the child from Ygraine and a druid called Leoamros. She gave birth secretly. She was only 16 and didn’t even knew Uther then. The kid was raised by his father and we don’t know much about him. As the generations went on the magic in the family grew. Your father was a druid too, and now you have the magic. ” I just stared at him with an open mouth.

"You're a wizard Emma..." went trough my mind and I smiled at myself.

“But if this is all true… Why didn’t you pick my father or someone before me?” I asked curiously.

“I tried… I met all of them but I could feel that they aren’t the right person. Until you came. You are the most powerful wizard beside me. Even though you didn’t know it. ” he finished.

“And so what do I need to do?” I continued asking.

“I don’t know exactly what your suppose is but one thing I know is that we have to save the world. Come with me Emma…” he said happily.

“Oh dear…” I said to myself.

“Where are we going?”

“To Avalon.” he said as he repeated a spell a few times in a wierd language that I suppose was old english.

Suddenly we felt an earth quake as we were torn towards the bottom. He laughed from excitement and I just thought “why did I accepted this?”

Soon we were in a dark room. Merlin shouted “Leohtbora!” And the room was filled with light.

But it wasn’t a room it was a cave.

“Why are we in a cave?” I said to Merlin.

“That’s  Avalon just, you know under the ground!” he said as he turned to me.

“As the magic was used for bad things I decided to take the lake underground where no one can find it except for me.” 

It was beautiful. A pure blue lake with tones of crystals around the cave.

“Wow!” was all I could say.

“Follow me!” he said as he took a torch in his hands.

At this point I couldn't stop myself from saying "You know, you really look like Gandalf."

"Oh do I? Well then... YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" We both laughed.

"How is it that Merlin, the one and only, knows about that kind of stuff." I said smiling.

"I may be thoused and five hundred years old but I know about the stuff young people like" he said.

"Wow, he's really old then." I thought.

.We walked a bit and came to a grave.

“I suppose that’s Arthur’s grave.” I pointed at it.

“Yes. It's a memorial stone made from pure magic that says "Hic Jacet Arturus Rex Quondam Rexque Futuris" what means- ” 

"Here lies Arthur — the once and future King" I interrupt him.

"I love latin." I said explaining why I know how to translate this.

“Well, now that you’re here we can cast the spell!” he looked at me.

“What spell?” I asked.

“You’ll see. Repeat after me. Arthur áræmaþedroc!”

After a few times of repeating a strong light forced us to close our eyes.
