Nine Lives

Life Seven: Part Two

As night fell on the kingdom of Camelot, Charlie took her chance to visit the only person she knew would be able to tell her about this life she is suppose to lead in this world. The dragon that her supposed father had trapped deep under the kingdom. Hopefully he wouldn't hate her for what Uthur did.

Charlie walked down the steps and paused at the door that kept her from meeting the dragon. She loved watching him during the show but actually going to face him, stand in front of him was a different feat. She opened the door and followed the path until she was in the large open cave.

"I was wondering when you would come here" The sound of wings flapping echoed the cave making Charlie step back slightly as a rush a wind came. Before her the mighty golden dragon landed on the rock that she had seen him land on many times before.

"You were expecting me?" Charlie asked tilting her head to the side.

"Yes traveler, I've been waiting a long time to meet you" He seemed to smirk.

"Traveler?" Charlie questioned sitting down on the stone. She had a feeling she would be here for a while.

"Yes. The one that travels between worlds having souls to guild them." He told her. "This time you have taken over a body that has been wondering with no soul for 20 years."

Charlie looked down at herself and sighed. That was one thing that was different about this world. In all the others she had looked like herself but in this one she was blonde and beautiful. While when she was in Once Upon a time she had memories of a life before she was there but she still looked like herself, now she had no memories and she looked nothing like herself. Luckily she still had her same name.

"So people are going to notice that I am acting differently then?" Charlie asked looking up at the beautiful dragon.

"Yes" he nodded.

"What is my purpose in this world? Why was I placed in this body?" Charlie asked looking at the dragon with a hopeful look. If he didn't know she wasn't sure if she would ever find out why she world jumped. Sure she learned that her body held multiple souls but they could never tell her why.

"You are here to help Arthur bring upon the time of Albion." He told her.

"I thought that was Merlin's job?" Charlie ran her hand through her long blonde hair, already missing her ginger locks.

"It is but you must help the young warlock. Show him the way when he is lost. Mold him while he molds Arthur."

"How am I suppose to do that? How am I meant to know more then the powerful Merlin!" Charlie stood up and started pacing back and forth.

"You have a lot of knowledge of the future just like I have" The dragon told her making her stop and turn to him. "You know the right choices to make and the right time for things"

"That's if nothing changes! If the smallest thing changes I don't know what to do" Charlie protested. She wasn't the person to give such a responsibility to.

"Believe in yourself" He told her before flapping his large wings. The wind blew her hair into her face and by the time she got herself unblinded the mighty dragon was gone.

"So helpful. I forgot how cryptic you are" Charlie whispered before taking her leave.

If Kilgarah thought she was meant to help mold the world into Albion then she would do it. She just wished that he would be more specific in what she needed to do. But first thing first, she would need to get close enough to Merlin that he trust her enough to show her his magic or at least catch him in the act. Once he knew she could be trusted with his secret he would trust her with anything.
