The knights rode in silence, still feeling extremely guilty. After a while, they saw Morgonas castle, destroyed and falling apart. Arthur looked at all the knights and said quietly,

"For Merlin." All the knights nodded in agreement and started to ride towards the castle, completely unaware of what was happening.

Morgona looked at glowing orb in front of her and smiled cruelly.

"So.. they left poor little Merlin alone out there, all by himself? Hehe.. Mordred!" Mordred appeared and Morgona grinned evilly.

"Go get Merlin, don't hurt him too much. Oh and, have the other guards hold the Camelot and Camatin knights in the stocks for a few days." She looked at Mordred and narrowed her eyes,

"Now." Mordred nodded and left the crumbling throne room.

(Sorry for the short update guys!)

Mordred rode through the forest by himself, Morgonas guards and men had gone after Arthur and the knights. Mordred came upon the fog and false smoke, he knew the spell he had used it several times himself. He chanted a spell and the smoke billowed away, revealing an unconscious Merlin tied to a oak tree. Mordred pulled out a knife and cut the ropes around Merlin's waist and ankles, the young brunette snapped his eyes open. He was startled and he jumped up, his wrists still bound. Mordred held a hand up and said,

"Relax Merlin. I'm under orders not to harm you." Merlin grit his teeth and hissed,

"Yeah, right." Mordred put his knife in the hilt and grabbed the ropes that bound Merlin arms and wrists. Merlin cried out slightly, the ropes biting into his exposed skin. Mordred sighed and pulled his knife out and pressed it to Merlin's throat in one quick move. Merlin's breath hitched slightly and Mordred dragged him to the horse. Mordred forced Merlin onto the horse, then climbed on, the knife still harshly pressed against Merlin's throat. Mordred and Merlin rode in silence for a few minutes, then Mordred said quietly and sincerely,

"This isn't my idea Merlin. I'm sorry we had to meet up this again, I'd have things different." Merlin scoffed slightly and Mordred said,

"I'm truly sorry Merlin." Merlin scoffed again, and with that Mordred moved the knife from Merlin's throat, only to hit the brunette king over the head, knocking him unconscious.
