A day had passed since they learned that King Arthur was not on their side. The heroes were determined to get as many allies as they could find. That was why Everly, Sam, and Katherine found themselves following Killian, David, Belle, and Merlin through the castle's dungeons. They were sent to free Lancelot from his prison while the rest of their friends and family stayed at Granny's. The three teens waited in the hallway with Belle and Merlin while David and Killian took out a few of the guards.
As soon as they got the all-clear from the Jones man, the rest of them entered the corridor. None of them were surprised to find another guard charging at them. But they were shocked by how easily Merlin was able to defeat him by using his magic to throw the man into the nearest wall.
"Not bad for a bloke who spent the last thousand years as a tree," Killian said while staring at the damage that the Sorcerer caused.
"Just like riding a bike," Merlin joked while using his magic to light the torches in the corridor.
It wasn't long before Everly found herself walking beside the Sorcerer. She was surprised when she realized she could feel the magic radiating off him. But then she felt his eyes on her, causing her to look up at him to confirm her suspicions. She just wasn't expecting to find a smile on his lips. "Is something wrong?"
"Not at all," Merlin responded as the grin on his face grew, "I just never thought I'd get the opportunity to meet the Purest Heart."
"You know who I am?"
The Sorcerer couldn't help but laugh at the young girl before responding. "Of course I do. I was the one who sent the Frost Brothers to help with your powers, after all. It's an honor to meet you."
Everly couldn't help but return his smile. But their conversation was soon cut short when David began speaking. "Well, it won't be long before Arthur knows we're here. And how do you know what a bike is?"
"Do you really think all my prophecies came true because of luck?" Merlin retaliated with a hint of humor in his voice, "this way."
Everly slowed her pace to walk beside Sam and Katherine as they turned down another hallway. Just as they thought they were out of harm's way, Merlin held out an arm, stopping everyone in their tracks. They waited in silence for a moment before a group of guards walked passed them.
