Merlin: The missing prince

chapter 10

" Wait how do you know where Merlin is, how did you find us all, how did you escape and how is this area so safe?" Arthur asked confused, once he got some food. The ambrosia knights looked at each other and all launched into explanation.

" you see sire, uh, we-"

Sir Ronald started before being interrupted by Mordred.

" I have magic sire. When i was young, you, Merlin and Morgana saved me from being executed after the guards caught my father using magic and killing him. He and I are druids. I used my magic to find Merlin and talk to him, i freed the ambrosia knights and sent them a message on where everyone was and I put a protection charm on this place. I also told the Ambrosia knights what Merlin said so they wouldn't question me on my instructions. Now, we need to focus on saving merlin as he deserves and needs our every attention. If the souls in the cubicle animus staff start attacking Merlin for some unknown reason, then his soul will not survive. You know very well Merlin knows how to piss off powerful people, much like this legend i was told as a boy, with the druids. They told of a very,very,very,very powerful being, named Emrys. He is the most powerful being to walk the earth until a hero,who will be his match,but that thousands of years from now though,maybe never. Emrys might be in that staff because there was another part included;

'When he is trapped,

he will be freed 

when he is blind

he will be loved by all he sees 

Emrys will face danger and be trapped

but, he will be saved by the once and future king

Emrys will help free magic

as he will be the most trusted advisor of the king

As Emrys will be our savior 

And be loved by all

even the most evil of the evil

by the strongest of all

even those as weak as a weasel

will love him as a brother'

Now, I think you are supposed to save Merlin and Emrys. You are the once and future king m'lord" Mordred said  and the ambrosia knights sent him a silent thanks aka in MM.

" Well, uh,  that was brave of you mordred, you will always be welcome i camelot though you have magic. I have been thinking about disabling magic to be completely honest. Now, to save merlin we need to figure out what we will first try, but, before that, we need ti figure out where the cubicle animal thing is. Mordred, can you track where that is?" Arthur asked 

"Yes sire,  will get right on that" Mordred replied

"Good, now what was the first thing we are trying?"

" It is not an easy task sire, but we need to get morgana herself to take Merlin out" 

" What about this Emyrs? if I am the once and future king, don't i need to save him also?" Arthur asked and the others nodded while the Ambrosia knights looked uneasy. Thankfully, nobody noticed, but Gwaine and Lancelot. They looked at each other but, they ended up brushing it off. 

" what is the next thing, that doesn't involve the one who put them in there?" Arthur asked 

" The people in there have to work together" Mordred said 

" OH I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! Arthur, Merlin is Emrys.  It is the name the druids had given him when his mom took him there to be blessed and his dad, Balinor, he was a-"  sir Ronald exploded, he was never good at keeping secrets. Arthur interrupted by answering for him

" A dragonlord. He was a dragonlord, wasn't he?" Arthur asked and The ambrosia knights nodded.

" How did you know?" Sir Ronald asked 

" I met him. Camelot was being attacked by the great dragon and so my father sent me to find the last dragon lord, and merlin came along and we both met him. On our way back, we were attacked and Balinor sacrificed himself for merlin and god, i was stupid, i told him not to cry over his father. I feel so stupid. I heard my father say that the dragon lord title is passed from father to son. Is this true? Is Merlin a dragon lord?" Arthur asked and they nodded. 

" He is also Emrys apparently? Ok, all the more reason to save him. Let's figure out a way to get Morgana to free Merlin. Mordred, can you posses her or control her or something?" Arthur asked.

Mordred nodded.

" ok lets figure out a spell for you to make Morgana say to free Merlin. Know any?" Arthur asked

" no, but merlin might. He told me that he has a spell book hidden under one of his floor boards in his chambers. Is there a way to get there and grab it?" Lancelot spoke up " Merlin just told me, he must've used his magic to direct a message to me, but we can discuss that later. Is there a way you can, put a protection charm on me to shield any other spells or something like that Mordred?" He asked and Mordred nodded. 

" i can put an invisibility charm on you but, it will only last for a certain amount of time as my magic drains me quickly. Are you ok with that Lancelot? If you do go, make sure you grab the right book, though Gaius and Merlin both know how to read and write even better than your top scribe in the castle, it will most likely be written in a different language." Mordred warned Lancelot

" You know, i have always wondered where Merlin learnt that, most likely Gaius taught him though, at least that is what i assumed. Is that the truth or did his father teach him?" Gwaine asked the Ambrosia knight but they shook their heads.

" No his father never taught him, but he did know it when he was very young, i do not believe anyone taught him, i think he learnt himself somehow" Sir Morgan said and dwaine nodded. 

" ok, well we have some witch ass to kick, Mordred and Lancelot, you ready? GO!" Gwaine screamed and everyone looked at him.

" Gwaine?" Percival asked

"yes?" gwaine said innocently 

" no" He shook his head

" but-" Gwaine started but got cut off by everyone

" No!" They screamed

" are you sure?" He asked, smiling like an innocent child, which he was not.

" No, gwaine, just no" Elyan said while shaking his head slowly, ignoring the puppy face Gwaine was giving him

" fine" He pouted " Why not though?" he asked 

" WE SAID NO" everyone screamed

" yeesh, it was just a question" dwaine said while still pouting a tiny bit. Ok, maybe a lot still.
