Arthur's Return (Merlin BBC)

Chapter XVIII.

As we finally got back, I saw the druids gathering around something or, someone. I looked at Mordred and he tried to look past all the people since he was a bit taller than me.

„I do not know what they’re  all looking at.“  He said simply. I slowly let go of him and walked towards the crowd.

“Excuse me, can I just get closer, please…” I said in a whisper, trying to move through all the mess.

I finally got a small chance to see what’s so interesting. Someone was playing with fire? Using magic, of course, but I couldn’t see who it was since there were a few taller druids in front of me. Then suddenly they all started clapping and cheering. It was quite impressive I must say, seeing all those shapes fire could form if you knew how to use it. A dragon flying around so fast it was hard to see it properly, then a lion roaring at its glory, then again a small butterfly and a few other animals. It was wonderful. I have never witness something so beautiful.

As it finished the crowed moved leaving a few children wondering how to learn that, and myself wondering who did that. Then I saw.

“Merlin?! What are you doing here?” I said surprised.

“Emma! Finally, I’ve been looking for you everywhere…” he said quietly the last part.

“How did you find me?” I said looking to see if he brought any companions.

“Your crystal.” He said picking  the crystal from my chest and holding it for a moment.

“I gave it to you for a reason.”  He said smiling.

“Is there something else this crystal can do that I don’t know of?” I sounded quite annoyed.

“Yes, it can produce- but  that’s not the point!” Merlin said rushing. “You need to get back, Arthur is looking everywhere for you. You can't just leave the castle like that, and by the way you need to start practicing your powers..."

I looked around. Whispering I said "I followed Morgana here. She attacked them.I think she's looking for a flower"

"What kind of flower?" he quickly interrupted.

"I don't know, I forgot the name, I only know that she was really pissed about not knowing where to find it and that the druids didn't have any idea where it should be. I  am actually pretty sure they have no idea what kind of a flower that is, since she came back disappointed this night."

"She was here more times?"  he said.

"Yes, but I somehow made her disappear. I have no idea what actually happened. I just picked up my sword... And then I ran and, and she suddenly disappeared, Puff! Like that."  I made a gesture with my hands close to Merlins eyes so that he could get how much I was confused.

He pushed my hands off of his view and said a bit annoyed  "We will talk about that when we're back home." .

Merlin turned around to check his horse. 

I then remembered. The dream. Camelot was burning to ashes.

 “Come-” he continued “We have to go now.” I didn't really listen to what he  was saying.

"Merlin, I had a dream last night, or more like a blurry vision." He suddenly turned around and saw my horrified face expression that was looking straight. 

"What did you dream?" he asked unsure.

"Camelot was burning. Ashes, screams. Horrible." I said quickly.

"We need to get back there fast." he said turning around towards his horse. 

"But that was a dream, right, not as if it's gonna happen? Am I right?" I was trying to be optimistic.

He came closer to me really fast. "Listen -" he said whispering

"You are a powerful witch, even trough you don't know that, and as one you can see things that could and or will happen in the future... It could happen every single second and we need to rush back to Camelot before it's too late."

I nodded “And if we don’t go back now, it might destroy everything and everyone…” I said quietly.

We didn’t waste time, he jumped on the horse and picked me up. It was just a matter of time now.

As we turned around I couldn’t see Mordred anywhere. He might went to Camelot as well.

He needed to be there too, if he wasn’t, then it would be to suspicious.

As we were running to get to the Castle I told Merlin everything I saw...

 "He went to a lake and then there was a big creature, and Morgana is searching for a special flower, I don’t remember the name of it, I just know that she commanded him to go and find the book about Prophecy.”

Merlin suddenly stopped the horse. “What?” He just stared at the front. “He was send to find our book.” I said repeating.

“Why would he need our book?” I asked quickly after.  

Merlin then looked at me “I don’t know-” he was honest “But I hope he didn’t find it.”

He commanded the horse to go and we ran again through the forest, with small branches here and there bumping onto my arms.  I think I cut myself a few times.

As I was observing my injured arm, he suddenly stopped again and I looked up.

We stood on a hill looking straight at Camelot. Camelot was under fire.
