A life of magic

the feast

time had passed and Merlin began to become bored with all the waiting around before the feast began there was supposed to be a guest who would do the honour of singing to the court. but Merlin knew better he could sense something was wrong and was afraid that it could result in the harm of another, he could just feel the dread in the air, and it all revolved around their special guest lady Helena. 

 flashback

gaius had sent Merlin to lady Helena quarters to deliver a draught that would aid in her performance later that evening. as soon as Merlin entered her room he could feel that atmosphere become cold and almost haunting. he looked around but know one was to be seen. on the dresser sat what looked like a crystal and pendant the very same one that he had seen on the old woman early yesterday, but he couldn't be quite sure. he began to look closer when lady Helena walked through the door and demanded to know what he was doing. 

"gaius asked me to deliver this for you, as you requested, sorry for the intrusion" Merlin quickly stated before rushing to place the small vial upon the dresser he began to turn and caught a glimpse of lady Helena's reflection in the mirror and he just for a second believed that he had seen the old lady who had disappeared at the pire earlier that day. he could have sworn it but who would have believed him.

present time

Merlin stood at the edge of the hall with a pitcher of wine in his hands he was serving the nobles their drinks and mildly eavesdropping in on their conversations. this night could no become more dull in his opinion. his stomach dropped as the lady Helena was introduced onto the stage. the strange notes lifted at of her mouth in a strange tongue no one had seemed to have heard before and the great hall began to change around him cobwebs forming over the candlesticks and walls and the people falling into a deep sleep. noticing quickly Merlin frantically looked around to see what he could do and covering his ears. as he looked up his eyes meet the chandelier directly above the witch. his eyes flashed the familiar, brilliant gold and the chandelier fell crashing to the ground halting her spell and then waking everyone from their slumber with a jolt. in a last ditch attempt to act out her revenge the woman through a dagger and sent it hurling towards the prince within seconds Merlin had leaped into action and crashed into the prince.
