"Merlin this is the border of Camelot, are you sure this is safe?" I question and he shakes his head, "No I'm not but it's the only way to find more about what this is." He says lifting up the Earth stone and I frown. "Well let's get going." I say forcing my horse forward with Merlin behind me and almost instantly a small group of slave traders jump out of the woods. "Merlin!" I exclaim kicking my horse in a way that makes it go faster, "Run!" He yells back a an arrow goes whizzing past my head just barely missing me. I just make it out of the area where they attacked but when I turn around I don't see Merlin behind me. "This was a horrible idea." I sat quietly to myself going at a small trot, when I'm farther away I tie my horse to a tree. "I'll be back for you." I say petting it's soft white back, then I run back to where we saw the slave traders but I don't see them or Merlin anywhere. I look around for a clue to where they might have gone and see some horse tracks leading west. "I am coming to find you Merlin." I say then I run bank to my horse and begin to ride after them.

"Lilith you can do this." I say taking a deep breath and try to be quiet as I watch the slave traders enter their small castle, a cage is attached to it and has a cover on it but I guess that's where they keep the slaves. "Magic don't fail be now." I whisper then I say a simple spell that makes some of the stones used to build the castle go tumbling down to the ground. I watch as the guards run over to check it out, I run out from behind the tree where I've been hiding and rush inside only to meet more guards. "Tempus retardo" I whisper under my breath making time slow almost to a stop moving slowly so that I wouldn't break my spell I get past the guards and into the dungeon area in no time. I check behind every door letting out other slaves as I go. "Alright last room." I say and whisper the same spell I've been using again to unlock the last door. I look around and see Merlin standing among twelve or so other slaves. "Lilith? How did you get in here?" He asks surprised and I shake my head, "I'll explain later but the guards are on their way down so we need to hurry." I say grabbing his arm and half pull half drag him behind me. "When did you get so fast?" Merlin asks trying to catch his breath, "I've always been this fast now come on." I say releasing his arm and continue running until we reach the main gates, where we meet a couple hundred guards. Merlin and I have the same idea and whisper a spell under our breath making all the soldiers fly backwards knocking most of them out. Merlin and I run for what seems like hours until we reach my horse. "Wait what am I going to ride?" Merlin asks and I roll my eyes. "Your horse" I say watching at his horse trot up behind him, "How did you?" He try's to ask but I just make begin to trot forwards. "Honestly Merlin sometimes I think your dumber then the horses."
