Arthur's Return (Merlin BBC)

Chapter IX.

“Mordred!” I shouted and ran to him.

Gaius quickly took his pulse and confirmed that he was still breathing.

“Bring me clear water and find the flower Chrysanthamum… Now!” Gaius yelled at Gwaine and Percival.

“Rip off a piece of your dress…” he then said to me.

I did as told. Everything happened really quickly. They found water and brought a white flower, Gaius mixed a portion and put it on the wound. Merlin and Arthur made a fireplace and decided to stay here for the night. Gaius covered Mordred with the piece of clothing, and put his hand on his forehead checking if he’s burning.

“Is it so bad?” that’s all I could ask for now.

“It is. We should let him sleep a little.” Gaius said.

I was really sad, didn’t even speak to others. I didn’t knew why it was like that. I barely even knew him. But I admit to myself, I liked him.

Merlin came to me.

”Aren’t you hungry?” he offered me a bowl of some weird middle-age soup.

“No, thanks.” I said looking at the fire.

“You should eat something. Tomorrow will be a long day.” He said.

I looked at the bowl and tried a little. I made a wired disgusted face that made everyone around laugh, inclouding myself.

“What you don’t like it?” Merlin said.

“Of course she doesn’t like it. Because you made it! ” Arthur said making everyone laugh.

“No, no. It’s just… We don’t eat such weird sups in our kingdom.” I said looking at Merlin.

The time flew by quickly. Everyone went to sleep except Merlin and me.

“You missed this place?” I whispered to Merlin who was sitting right next to me.

“You can’t imagine how much. Everything’s so different in the future.” He said.

I looked at Mordred. Merlin followed my eyes and saw that I was worried.

“You like him, don’t you?” he said.

“Well he saved me.” I said looking back to Merlin.

“I need your help…” Merlin stood up and went to Mordred.

“Come ‘on.” He said.

I followed him and bent down next to Mordred’s head. Merlin placed his hands above the wound.

“Wait, I thought you wanted him to die?” I asked knowing that he’s Merlin’s worst enemy. Right after Morgana.

“I told you before that death isn’t the solution. Give me your hand…” he said.

“Now repeat Þurhhæle dolgbenn.” I watched Merlin’s eyes glow and did as he said. Then the wound started to heal a bit.

“It’s working!” Merlin said happily.

I smiled and looked at Mordred. Then we went to sleep and hoped not to be attacked while dreaming. I opened my eyes in the middle of the night. I had a weird dream. Someone was calling me, saying that I will regret this. I thought this was a cause of worriness, but I couldn’t be more wrong. I turned my head to Mordred and came there to check his pulse.

Still breathing but really slow. I don’t know what came over me, but I just started crying. My tears fell on Mordred’s pale face but nothing really happened. I wished that he’ll be healed soon. I don’t know what I was expecting to happen, maybe I hoped that he’ll wake up and fall into my arms. I don’t know.

But this clearly wasn’t a fantasy movie apart from all that magic that happened today. I closed my eyes and just thought about him. And then suddenly, out of nowhere a blue light came. I first thought it was a fairy, I mean why not? This place is crazy, a little fairy wouldn’t be unexpected.

But then I saw a bubble? It was a bubble with a face. This get’s weirder and weirder.

“Don’t’ be scared. I am a Vilia. A good creature of magic  that comes to help. I come from the stream down there.” She showed me with her face, because obviously she didn’t have hands.

“I will help you heal him.” She said. I  wiped  my tears away  and nodded.

„What should I do?”

“Only a true love kiss can..”

Wait a minute! Did I just hear the typical phrase from old fairytales? Kiss him? Really?

“I need to kiss him? Don’t you have a healing spell to save him?” I asked.

“No, I was joking. I can predict the future you know…” she said.

I didn’t know what she meant.

“Here take this…” a little bubble flew by full of a blue liquid inside of it.

“Pour some of it on his wound and it will work immediately.”

“What if you’re one of Morganas illusions? ”

“Morgana doesn’t have the ability to be a rescuer. And she wouldn’t kill Mordred. ”I took the bubble and did as told. The wound really healed fast.

I thanked the fairy, I mean bubble, I mean Vilia agh, whatever and went to sleep again.
