"Oh, so you're training to be the mother of our children."

I slowly open my eyes as I feel myself moving up and down, leaning myself against Karl. I instantly wake up to check the other. Everyone looks okay, am I dreaming?

"Done sleeping?"

I look at Karl, I can see a little scratch there on his face, but not too much. I almost lift my hand to touch his face before Karl suddenly looks at me with his red sharp eyes.

"How was yesterday?"

I really don't know anything, I couldn't close my eyes last night and could finally sleep when I felt dizzy and weak. 

"Quite challenging, but was not that hard." Karl simply say. I don't fully believe him. The scars on his face can explain how hard it was yesterday.

"Did you sleep?"

"No."

I sigh in depressed, feeling useless. "We should rest for awhile so you can sleep. Everyone must have not slept enough too."

Karl nods and looks in front. After a while of walking, the horses finally stop. We sit under a big green tree and the river is always near us. 

"Here, take my blanket." I smile and cover Karl with the blanket I just took from the bag.

"No need." Karl takes off and gives it back to me.

I huff. "Can you just agree? It's not that hard."

"Why do you sound like my mother?" Karl straightly says. 

"Oh, so you're training to be the mother of our children. A little too early but I guess that is acceptable." There's his words of bully.

I don't reply him and choose to cover him with the blanket once again. Karl slowly close his eyes. I turn around and look at the other. Raja and Eliot starts to sleep. Wolfie and Kairos are arguing with each other. I smile at all of them, they must have done great last night.

"Psst!" Merlin calls me from afar. He asks me to come there. It looks like he wants to take me somewhere.

"Is there something you want to say?"

"Let's take a stroll." Merlin smiles as he and I start walking away from our camp.

"What happened last night?"

"Well, that was fun. We succeeded thanks to that wolf."

"Wolfie?"

Merlin looks at me and frowns. "You call him 'Wolfie'?"

I nod. "That's right."

"Well! I don't think he'd like that name."

"Oh yes, he does. But I like that name, he wouldn't give me his name so I had to made one."

Merlin chuckles. "You'll be shocked to know who he is."

I look at Merlin. His face looks mysterious as usual. 

I sigh. "You know what, I'm not going to ask."

Merlin smiles. "You have gotten better at controlling your curiosity, princess."

I giggle, I guess he's right.

"So tell me, what did Wolfie do?"

Merlin smiles.
