Chapter Fifteen The Dragon
"Look I see Camelot." I say and look at Merlin with a smile then suddenly it fades and I feel like I'm gonna faint.
"What's wrong?" Monica asks when she sees my face. "Run!" I yell and flick the reigns of my horse but I know the horse won't make it if all three of us are on it. "Monica here." I yell handing her the reigns. "Lilith don't!" She yells but I jump off my horse and watch it speed up. I see Merlin get ready to turn around but I enchant his horse quickly so that it won't and it just runs towards Camelot. "Well, someone's brave sent they." The cloaked sorcerer says but the pain from the jump finally drags me under.

"Lilith are you alright?" A female voice says and it takes a moment but I quickly recognize it as Lexia's. "What are you doing here?" I exclaim forcing my eyes open and ignoring the pain as I sit up. I look around and see Merlin finally giving up at trying to light a fire normally and he just uses magic. "Merlin she's awake." Lexia says and I continue to force the pain out of me so I can sit up normally. "Are you okay?" Merlin asks sitting next to Lexia. "Yeah, a little soar but that's about it." I say and he nods his head. "Good, one more thing, are you crazy!?" He exclaims and I sigh looking at Lexia. Lexia then answers for me. "She's kinda got this thing where she doesn't care a bit about herself but will do anything for the people she loves." She says and I look off into the woods around us and sigh then a thought comes to me. "Merlin, why is Lexia here!" I exclaim and Lexia looks at him. "You took a hard fall you've been out for three days but Lexia was hiding in your bag for all three until I set up camp tonight, she came out and told me Monica asked her I come." Merlin says and I just fall back onto the ground.

"I'm going to get some firewood." I say and walk of I the woods. I feel a lot less soar then when I woke up. I walk into a clearing and see some wood scattered around and begin to pick it up. I turn around quickly when I feel the ground shake ever so slightly. "Hello Lilith." I cover my mouth and try not to scream. "You a-a dragon." I say and take a few steps backward. "Yes that I am." The Dragon sad in a low voice as I try and talk myself into calming down. "What do you want?" I ask and fear striking at my heart as I try not to freak out. "I am here to show you something young sorcerer." The dragon says and I nod trying to act like I'm fine when I'm not at all. "This," the dragon says pushing a sword along the ground, "is Excalibur." He finishes and I walk over to it carefully. "This sword once belonged to King Arthur." The dragon says as I pick it up. "I can't possibly take it of it belonged to the king." I say but the dragon just stares at me so I pick it up and I suddenly feel powerful. "This sword will help you on your journey to bring back the once and future king." The dragon says then it forces itself off the ground and I can tell that he's hurt or dying. "Wait your hurt us there anything I can do." I call out but get no reply. I just stand there confused and worried.
