Litra (A BBC Merlin Fanfic)

S:1 E:1 The Dragon's Call

A/N The picture above is an example of Litra's hair, but hers is much longer.

{Words} = Narrating Dragon or speaking from a distance

{No young twins, no matter how great, can know their destinies. They cannot glimpse their parts in the great story that is about to unfold. Like everyone, they must live and learn. And so It will be for the young witch and warlock arriving at the gates of Camelot. Twins that will, in time, father and be the legends. Their names: Merlin and Litra.}

It felt like we had been walking for forever before we finally crested the last hill and reached Camelot. The giant spires looked they were miles high and the Pendragon flags billowing in the wind. Merlin looked to me and quietly laughed. I glared at him until he stopped then he said "I need you to stay with me, I don't want any boys hitting on you." now it was my turn to laugh "I doubt anyone will, but okay."

When we walked in there were so many people and after not too long horns started blowing while people gathered in the main square there was a large wooden platform which had two wooden chopping blocks. I knew what that meant. I had only seen it once before and it was used for an execution. I shuddered as a voice spoke from above "Let this serve as a lesson to all. This man and woman, Thomas James Collins and Jessica Lily Collins, are adjudged guilty of conspiring to use enchantments and magic. And, pursuant to the laws of Camelot, I, Uther Pendragon, have decreed that such practices are banned on penalty of death. I pride myself as a fair and just king, but for the crime of sorcery, there is but one sentence I can pass."

Uther raises his hand and then cuts it down through the air. I hide my head in Merlin 's shoulder and take deep breaths to calm myself down.

"When I came to this land, this kingdom was mired in chaos, but with the people's help magic was driven from the realm. So I declare a festival to celebrate twenty years since the Great Dragon was captured and Camelot freed from the evil of sorcery. Let the celebrations begin."

Before anyone could leave the square a loud wailing filled the area.

 "There is only one evil in this land, and it is not magic! It is you! With your hatred and your ignorance! You took my twins! And I promise you, before these celebrations are over, you will share my tears. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, twins for twins." Mary Collins said.

"Seize her!"

She holds up an amber amulet and chants in a different language before disappearing in a whirlwind of air and smoke.

As everyone leaves Merlin and I enter the palace. I walk up to a guard and ask "Excuse me. Sorry, I don't mean to bother you, but do you know where we could find, Gaius, the court physician's chambers?" He nods and point up a flight of stairs before I yell a thanks while dragging Merlin up, up, and away. (A/N: sorry couldn't resist 😂😆😂😆😂)

When we got to the top of the stairs we came to a wooden door. I knocked and when no one answered slowly peeked my head in calling out "Hello, Gaius are you there?"

I wander inside while still calling out "Hello? Gaius?"

 When I see the old man up on an old overhang I clear my throat startling him so much that when he leans back the banister that is behind him breaks making him fall.

I feel my eyes shimmer gold as I slow time.

He pretty much stops falling as I search the room. My eyes land on a bed across the room from him and they shimmer again shooting it under him once it is in place the time spell falls and he slams down.

"What did you just do?" Gaius questions me

"Erm..."

"Tell me!"
