Queen of Camelot ~~~ON HIATUS~~~

Chapter Ten (III)

Gaius returned his sigh nodding, "I fear you may be right." Gaius grabbed a flower placing it in the water watching to see how it affects the flower. Merlin stormed into his room pulling out a forbidden book.
~~~~~~~~~~
Forcing himself to stay awake until he heard Gaius's sweet sounding snores for an hour to make sure he was undoubtedly asleep. Tiptoeing towards his door he peeked his head out for his final check.

He slipped back into his room, his book of spells in hand. He swiftly left the room successfully making no noise.

He hid behind a barrel after getting past them undetected. "What about over...in there?" A guard suggest pointing at a pile of hay.

The other guar nods agreeing, "Certainly, sir." Both stabbed their spears into the haystack. Merlin has a feeling they were looking for three sorcerer.

After finding no magician inside this guard made his way over to Merlin's hiding spot. Panic raced through his body.

"Onstyrian, onbregdan." Merlin whispered. The door to an inn across from Merlin creaked open drawing the attention off the in conning guard.

All rush over towards the door to investigate. Unfortunately, the guard closest to the door got a welcoming smack to the head baby said loving door.

Merlin snuck further away from the guards and closet too Gwen's house. Merlin made his way over to their small window peering through it.

Gwen and Tom both were in a deep slumber. Gwen laid at the foot of his bed holding his hand. Merlin smiled at the young girl before making his way into their house and slipping a poultice underneath his pillow. "þu fornimst adl fram guman." Merlin chanted.

He watched as Tom's skin returned to its original color, before Merlin took his leave giddy about how happy Gwen was going to be tomorrow. He took a last glance through his window. Tom had lazily awoken placing a fatherly hand upon Gwen's head.

Gwen's head popped up her eyes very much widened. Tom smiled pulling the young women into a tight hug exchanging words Merlin could not hear.

Gaius placed a jar of water in front of Artura and Uther with a hint of a smile due to his discovery.

Artura leaned down to look at it, but right before she could touch it Gaius spoke out. "Don't touch it. I had this in the water for no more than a few hours."

Uther and Artura turned looking at Gaius. Uther placed a hand on his hip asking, "Where's the water from?"

His subtle smile faded as he informed the King, "The pump from where the people take their daily supply."

Artura frowned upon the knowledge knowing where the solution would lead. "We may have to stop the people from using it." This worried her for no one could live without water for long.

"The city cannot survive without water." Gaius argued glaring at her. She took a step back giving Gaius a clear view of the King.

"We have to find this sorcerer!" Uther growled slamming a fist upon the table.

She sighed, "I don't believe that they're inside Camelot." She rests her head on her hand scanning the maps once again.

Uther glared at her angry for her incapability to find a sorcerer. "Then extend the search to the villages!"

Once again Artura found herself sighing. "We've started, but I can't search the entire kingdom." Artura looked at her father. Her father expected so much from her something impossible like finding someone who could be out of their kingdom by now.
