I watch the dragons grow up. I can't seem to get a chance after the night that I met them to spend time with them again like I did that time. The man seems to be vigilant after he saw that the dragons were healed. He didn't think of an outside force that helped them, only that they healed themselves. So he would try to make his presence known by doing more harmful spells, painful spells. But the dragons we're now fearless for they believed what I told them they believe that I would save them in the end. And every night I use as much strength as I could and heal their wounds. Since I can no longer get close to them I had to use my magic from afar and since I am not prone with human magic it was quite difficult and tiring yet I never fail to heal them of their wounds. They would talk to me in Dragon tongue, sometimes sing me songs talk to each other. They act as children would act even though their situation was dire. Yet they never complained they just trusted my words they were just happy with me being there. They have knowledge of who kept captive can but he was not thought of like family for I was their mother and that was all there was to it.

I truly did love them for they were like my children for they were my children maybe not my first borns but they were descendants of them and I love them just the same. a year past of more or less the same kind of treatment assume they were big enough to fly and at that moment I knew that that was the time. This was the time for their escape. One night seem like any regular night yet I moved from the Shadows into the area where the Dragons Were kept I let myself be seen to any was in the room. Yet it was only the dragons who were there. I did not care if that man saw me for today was the day we were going to leave. I pet each dragon in a loving manner showing my affection as clear as day. I spoke low in Dragon tongue as not to wake the dragon lord that was only a few rooms away.

I said " Dragon children of mine we will leave tonight. you must learn quickly you will fly with me will fly to a better land to a better Lord someone who can care for you when I cannot. " They look sad at that revelation that I would not be able to be there forever. But they didn't say anything they only accepted it with a nod of their heads at the chance of being able to fly and being out of this horrendous room that they spent a year in. I shuffled them out the door quietly. And we walked across the castle grounds in haste. Once there was enough room for me to change, I slipped my dress again and slowly transformed into a huge ivory dragon once again. The babies squeaked in joy. They had never got the chance to see me like this. I moved my wings up and down slowly trying to teach them. And I lifted off the ground watching them.

Divere was the first to follow yet he kept falling not getting the technique down, only using his hyper eagerness to follow. Yet he soon got it. The next was Wærwyrde she didn't set off as fast. She watched me for a little getting the movement of my wings ingrained in her head before she copied me. And when she took off it was just about perfect. She stumbled once but soon regained her composure. And last was Qinni she was running around on the ground under me, happy at the freedom of movement that she had. I chuckled at her but in the end, told her to hurry. She was probably the best at flying. It was natural to her.

Once they were all in the air I pushed against the wards. I could feel 'him' staring but it didn't matter I opened my mouth and let a stream of black fire out. It broke the wards and made a whole for the babies to slide through. One after another they piled through. Flying high into the sky ahead of me. I followed them out but not before I heard a scream. I look back and I see the sorcerer look at the dragons witch got free. Then his eyes landed on me. He had an evil perverted smile that donned his face. And he called for me. " DRAGON COME TO ME! I COMMAND YOU, KNEEL BEFORE YOUR KIN. NOW!!! " I laugh at the human. Did he really think such commands could work on me. I showed him all my teeth and kept flying with my children. We headed in the direction of the other dragon lord I picked. That looked to be worthy to be called our kin.

We headed north for a hundred leagues. The children were tring yet they were trying not to show it. I made a noise to get there attention. They looked toward me, but I didn't continue I just slowed down and went for the ground. I decided They could rest here. We were close enough. That I could travel the rest of the way alone. I saw a castle in the distance. It looked abandoned and desolate. The children didn't look like they wanted to go there but I felt that this was a safe place so I landed.

There was signs of regrowth happening. It was slow but I could see it. I could tell these lands were trying to heal. So I transformed once again to my human body. I laid onto the floor bare. And I let the ground absorb my magic. I was feeding the land. It was draining. But not to long andI stood again, and I could see the grass spread from where I was across the land and I see young trees and plants blooming throughout. The babies were relishing in the feeling of the strong magic. I smiled at them. I let them roam and frolic around there new home.I transformed back into a dragon and fell asleep on the spot tired from the overuse of magic. And soon enough I could feel the baby's crowding close to me and falling asleep as well. I smiled and dreamt a peace dream.

When I woke I could clearly now see the effects of my magic. This place was beautiful. Covered in greenery and bursts of color. I smile at the sight. I flex my wings since they went stiff but I find I can't move them due to three little dragons leaning on them. I shake my head and transform. I lean down to pick up my dress, and I laugh at the dragons falling on top of each other once I moved. They all wake up alert. Then they see me and nudge me with there faces in annoyance. I just step away and walk toward the castle. I peek behind me and see them following close behind me. I smile at them and beckon them next to me. They walk surrounding me and we head forward. Once at there I place my hand on the ruins and push my magic forth. The castle rebuilds and reforms. Nothing like how it once was at the height of its power but enough for my dragons to have a place out of the rain. I then turn to them, " My children. I must go now. Don't fret, I'll be gone for only a few days. I must find the boy, your destinies are intertwined. I will bring him. And I will stay for a long time. I plan to raise you, worry not. Just be safe while I'm gone. You can hunt and sleep soundly here. No harm will come. I love you. Goodbye. " The dragons nuzzled my face and let me go at the promise of coming back and staying.

I shifted half way. It's not too hard to do but it sticks out quite a bit. I look like a human yet I have a few patches of scales here and there. And I have wings, a bit smaller wings, but wings nonetheless. My feet are claws and my nails on my hand are sharp to a point. It's quicker and more nimble than my larger form, and I can get closer to a city with this body. So I take off and fly. I fly towards Camelot.

In about a year's time back in Camelot, we switch perspectives to Merlin. Camelot is just about done cleaning up after the Morgana attack. And Merlin is trying to reassure Arthur that everything is going to be fine and that no one really hates him, That they are just after his power. He's standing on the top of the citadel stairs and looking out into the crowd with Arthur next to him and he sees an odd girl staring at him almost as if she's staring into his soul. He stares at her wondering who could this be? But in a moment someone walks in front of her and when he looks back at the spot where she just was he sees she's gone.

" Mer lin," Arthur says. Merlin turns to look at Arthur confusion written in his face. Arthur asks him

"What are you looking at?" Merlin's eyes glance back over to where that girl was once standing. Arthur's eyes follow suit but he sees nothing that could have captured his manservant's attention. Arthur punches Merlin on the shoulder and they continue to walk down the stairs. Yet for some reason, Merlin can't get that girl out of his mind.
