so did you speak to morgana about my marriage problem?
Arthur asks me after I've said goodbye to morgana and tied up the horses.
yeah she will help. I say.
okay so what is the plan? Arthur asks.
just leave it to us. I say.
fine.he says. oh and my father wants to talk to us.
what about? I ask.
I don't know. Arthur replies walking off.
when we get to the throne room uther is standing by the window.
you wanted to talk to us father. Arthur says.
yes. uther says. as you both know olof and Marian will be turning up in two days. however they are refusing to enter Camelot without an escort.
so you want us to meet them at the border. Arthur says.
ah no I need you Arthur to stay in Camelot I need all the knights here. so I have sent a page to tell them that Merlin will meet them in ealdor tomorrow evening. Merlin is to leave tonight. uther says.
of course my Lord. I say.
Merlin alone. what if he is attacked on his way there? Arthur says. at least send him with one guard.
no. uther says. as I told you I need all the knights here for when they arrive.
I will be fine. I say.
no. Arthur says. you have to send him with someone.
who? uther asks.
morgana. Arthur says. she can fight as much as it pains me to say it she's just as good as me.
fine. then you can let her know Arthur. uther says.
yes father. Arthur says. and walks off.
Merlin you are dismissed. uther says.
of course my Lord. I say.
oh and Merlin you leave within the hour. uther says.
yes my Lord. I say and head to my chambers to get ready.
-------------------
1 hour later.
you ready? I ask morgana as she gets to the stables.
yeah. morgana says looking tired.
we won't go to far tonight. I say as we ride off.
--------------------------
2 hours later.
do you want to collect fire wood while I find something for dinner?
I ask morgana as we dismount our horse's.
sure. she says and walks off.
I end up catching 2 pheasants and a rabbit. by the time I get back morgana has already started the fire but doesn't look happy.
what's wrong. I ask setting the pheasants and rabbit down.
oh nothing I just don't understand why uther would order me to come. she says. not that I'm not enjoying being with you.
is that what Arthur told you? I ask as I'm skinning the rabbit.
yeah. she says.
I chuckle and shake my head.
what? morgana asks.
well it was actually Arthur's idea to send you with me. uther was going to send me alone. I say.
oh really well Arthur and I are going to be having words when we get back. she says. now do you want me to pluck one of those pheasants? she asks as I finish skinning the rabbit.
sure. I say and hand her the pheasant.
----------------------------------
we should get some sleep. I say after dinner. it's going to be a long day tomorrow.
okay. Morgan says. walking over to me and laying beside me.
I put my arm over her shoulder and pull her close.
she kisses me quickly before burying her head into my chest and falls asleep.
-------------------------------
I wake to morgana stirring I look at her as she starts getting up and grab her waist and pull her back down.
morning beautiful. I say smiling.
morning. she says before kissing me quickly and trying to get up again but I pull her down again and roll over so I'm on top of her.
I stand on my hands and knees and look down and kiss her.
we should be getting up. she giggles.
we've got time. I say kissing her neck.
well then. she says and grabs my neck and pull me into a passionate kiss.
suddenly I hear a horse.
ssh. I say as I get up and grab my sword off the horse.
I hide behind a tree a peer around it and see a Camelot knight coming towards us.
at last. the knight says. I've been looking for you for hours.
what's up? I ask him.
the king sent me to tell you that a page turned up saying that olof and Marian will be arriving in ealdor tomorrow instead of today but you are still to head there. he says.
thank you. I say as morgana comes up beside me.
well I should be returning. the knight says and rides off.
I'll get breakfast ready. I say.
ok. morgana replies.
