Lin trips over the long dress and falls down on her face groaning slightly. "Stupid dresses! I miss my pants!" She shakily gets up and looks around at the tall dark trees. Russling is heard around her and she freezes, what if they're here to hurt her. Scorpions come out at every possible spot and slowly start to surround her.
She remembers the pain from when she was hurt before and lets out an ear piercing scream. All of the scorpions fly back and scamper away. All of a sudden a man is kneeling down be her and offers her a hand. Lin slowly takes it and he helps her up. "Come with me Emrys, you will be safe now."
When they get to the camp she spots Mordred and smiles at the boy. "Emrys!" People shout and shakily bow smiling at the warlock. Lin smiles but shakes her head, "no for now I am the Lady Lin. I am no longer Emrys." People smile at Lin and they let her through the crowd.
"So you were the one to cast the spell? The New Light spell?" The dark skinned man asked and she nodded. "For it is the only way to try and save my friend. If Morgana can see in a new light see might stop this pointless war and join me." Lin was confident as she looked around at the druids. "So please let Morgana be your Emrys now. For I am to be evil now."
Mordred comes and sits down next to Lin with a small smile, "Do you think this will help Morgan see that the war doesn't have to cause bloodshed. I liked being a Knight of Camelot." The warlock smiles down at the boy, "I hope so... you were quite good." That makes Mordred smile and lean back comfortably.
"I promise never to hurt Arthur..." he says quietly surprising the lady. "Thank you... I promise to help you as much as I can. However in this reality I'm evil so I'll take care of you on my end." Lin always thought Mordred was an amazing person but having to save Arthur always made her anxious around the boy. "We'll save him," Lin started and Mordred finished, "together."
Arthur always thought that he was the best tracker in Camelot but he couldn't find anything pointing towards were Lin might've gone. It was as if she simply disappeared from her room and to a new location. "It has to be magic!" The Prince yelled in anger, "there is nothing to track! We must talk to my Father."
Both of his friends sighed tired from looking for Lin almost all night. "I'm sorry Arthur, I should've stayed by her side! She asked me for something then when I came back she was gone!" Morgan puts a hand on Gwen's shoulder, "it's not your fault Gwen." Gwen let out a sob and hugged the boy who simple hugged back.
The trio walked to the throne room when the sun was in the sky. Arthur knocked on the door and heard his father say, "enter." Taking a deep breath they entered making Uther look over in confusion. "Ahh Arthur, What is it?"
"Father, Lin is gone from her chambers... there is no evidence to show what happened or where she went. I believe sorcery to be in play." Arthur spoke quite roughly like it hurt to say it. Both of the servants shifted nervously as well, for they knew of magic. Gwen knew that both Lin and Morgan had magic and of course, Morgan had magic.
"This is the last straw round up everyone who is connected to magic we will kill five every day she is gone." Morgan's eyes widened and Arthur nodded heading out of the room with Gwen following. Morgan quickly went out and ran towards the woods. All he could think was that he messed up.
The druids showed Lin many new spells and she couldn't help but feel guilty. "You guys should run... if you all remember the past don't you guys realize that we are going to get attacked?" The druids look at her Aglain speaks up, "we don't remember only Mordred can remember and people who are told. Even if we did we can't change the future because it makes people change. Mordred figured it out because he can hear your true voice in your head."
"Oh... well, um." Suddenly Morgan stumbles out into the open and people gasped. "Lin we have to go!" Lin looked at the people around her, she looked at Mordred. "I'm not going back, I like it here. I feel loved here." Morgan's eyes widened, "you are loved there! If we don't go people will die!" Biting her thumb she looked at Morgan, "I'm sorry but I'm not leaving!"
