Feyer, Feyer, Feyer. I wake up and sit up bolt upright, looking around. Merlin and Mordred are also awake and looking around while the others are still asleep. I sling my quiver over my shoulder and pick up my bow. Mordred unsheaths his sword and we walk into the trees following the voices. Out of the shadows, several figures all in robes appear with hoods pulled over their faces. Druids. One pushes down their hood and smiles "You can lower your weapons we are not a threat." Mordred bows his head slightly "Iseldir." he bows his head "Mordred." he turns to Merlin "Emrys, you have returned magic to the five kingdoms. We thank you." 

Merlin bows his head and Iseldir turns to me "Feyer you have helped many of our kind and for that we thank you." I smile and bow my head slightly "I was merely helping someone in need." he smiles "We came to thank you for all you have done. Now the druids can return to our camps and be at peace again." Merlin nods "You won't have to hide anymore." Mordred smiles and nods "Is Kara with you?" Iseldir smiles "She is safe and will come to Camelot shortly." he nods and Iseldir bows his head "We thank you all and will help if ever you need it."

They walk away disappearing into the trees, the three of us return to camp and fall back asleep as if nothing happened. The next morning we pack everything up and start riding back to Camelot. I ride next to Arthur "How long have you and Merlin been a thing?" he smiles "A while I guess." I grin "Have you said I love you yet?" he shakes his head. "No, but I want to." I smile "Is Morgana alright?" he nods "She's a lot better at running the Kingdom than I am but still refuses to take the throne." I smile "Arthur you are destined to be king." he smiles "Thanks I think." 

We continue riding in silence and I hear the knights bickering behind us. I turn in my saddle and they instantly fall silent. Merlin rides forward next to Arthur smiling "What are they all bickering about?" he shrugs "Not much." Arthur smiles and we continue on in silence. 

The sun begins to set and we dismount making camp for the night. "I'm surprised you stayed hidden for so long." I smile "Several people found me I just swore them to secrecy." Gwaine shifts awkwardly and I smile at him "I'm surprised you kept my secret." he shrugs and everyone turns to look at him "What?" I smile "When Leon, Lancelot and him came to Viara he caught me but I told him to lie." Arthur looks shocked "You told us you didn't see her."

He looks uncomfortable but sighs "She threatened me." I smile "I did not." he shrugs "You looked like you would its in your eyes." I laugh and Arthur scowls "So you could have come home sooner?" I shake my head "Uther would have killed anyone involved and you know it." after a moment he nods but glares at Gwaine "I still can't believe you managed to keep it a secret." he scowls "I'm an excellent secret keeper." 

I smile and twirl a knife around in one hand absentmindedly  "See intimidating." I stop and stick the knife in the ground "I'm not intimidating." they all give me a look and I smile "Really?" Arthur grins "Have you met your self recently?" I shrug and look at my outfit, simple black armour swords and a daggers attached to my sides and legs, and a mask to pull up over my face to hide from people. and the bow and quiver next to me. "Okay maybe a little." they all laugh and slowly they all feel asleep. I lean back and smile falling asleep.
