Racing across the courtyard, I scramble to find my way back Gauis's chambers. I notice many send looks of concern my way, once they notice the tears in my eyes.
When I finally find Gauis, I break down. Tears fall from my eyes rapidly, causing me to struggle with articulating my words. But, can you blame me? I was always attached to Merlin as a character, and to actually see and hear what happens in front of you is so heartbreaking.
"M-merlin i-is.......h-he......." I try to explain,but find my self crying instead.
"Come on my dear, tell me what did that idiot brother of yours do?" Gauis says in a soothing and fatherly manner.
"The P-prince...s-sent him to the dungeon for disobedience," I says, finally being able to get my words out
Gaius's eyes soften as I am finally able to get my words out. He goes silent for a bit, before I notice a look of pure anger in his eyes.
"I will fix this, worry not my dear....." Gauis declares, before he abruptly stands and marched out of the room. His comfort going with him.
I find myself struggling to stay calm once he leaves. I rush back out of his chambers, in hopes of finding some sort of garden....I've always felt more at peace in nature.
I find myself in the forest right outside of Camelot's walls. I sit by a small stream just listening to the chirping birds. The wind lightly caress my face and moves my hair very which way, almost as though the natural is trying to bring me comfort.
Tears spring from the corners of my eyes. This is all to much, and it's only the first episode.....I didn't think I would be so afraid for Merlin.....after all, I know everything will turn out okay....
I slowly dip my feet into the cool water. I notice squirrels conversing in the trees and a small doe hiding in the bushes. I hear a small whimper of pain coming from the direction of the doe and I abruptly stand.
Before I can even analyze what I heard, I'm already walking towards the noise. When I arrive at the scene, I find myself gazing upon an injured child.
My eyes soften upon seeing the frightened kid.
"What happened little one?" I say in a hushed, and motherly tone.
The child hesitates, but upon seeing my complacent expression says "M-mama said I c-could go exploring,but I got l-lost and I h-hurt my a-ankle when I w-was trying to find my way back.
I coo at the young-one's innocence, and tell them "Why, no need to worry little one I'll return you to your mama before sundown. Now tell me, what is your name."
The child's eyes light with happiness and they say "M-my n-name is B-ben..."
I smile, before replying in a kind tone. "Well Ben, my name is Isla. We best be on our way now."
