When Merlin dropped to the ground, everybody screamed. Arthur sheared his sword and put it on the girl's neck.

"Who did this!" Arthur growled and the girl started shaking in fear.

"A woman told me that she has put poison in his mug." The girl stumbled.

"Who!" Arthur yelled.

"I don't know." Arthur let the girl go when he noticed Húlí. She was the only one who was laughing.

"I did it peacefully." She laughed.

"No blood, no fighting, that's the rules. Nobody told us that poisoning wasn't allowed!" Arthur ran towards her and attacked her with his sword, but she just blocked it with her two daggers in an X.

"You are breaking the rules, Pendragon." She now hissed and kicked his legs out from under his body. He fell down while the girl laughed again. She turned back into a fox and ran off.

"Zhǎo tā!" (Find her!) The elders yelled and soon everybody started running around, trying to catch the fox. Arthur also wanted to run after her, but a pair of hands pulled him back.

"Nín xūyào méiyǒu wǒmen, qù zhǎo zhǎngzhě. Tā yīgèrén yǒu nénglì zhìyù tā." (You need to go without us, find the elder. He alone is capable enough to heal him.) Greg's father said and soon they mounted their horses and left, with Merlin and Arthur on Arthur's horse. Merlin's walking next to them. It watched Merlin closely and didn't want to leave his side.

"Acorn knows that something is wrong with Merlin, they all know. Look at the nature." Greg explained and that's when they realised that there wasn't any wind, the sky was grey and soon rain dropped from the sky, as if it was crying. The birds didn't make any sound and the animals they passed didn't even acknowledge that they were there. The trees looked to mourn on it's own.

"We have to be quick." Arthur demanded and soon their horses were running as fast as they could.
