Merlin POV

Darkness. Surrounded by inky black darkness. My heart was hammering in my ribcage, i could hear my heartbeat in my ears. B-boom b-boom. I now had the naggling sense of worry at the back of my mind.

Beware Emrys

It echoed through my skull like a drum. Another wicked laugh ripped through the forest, it made my hair stand on end. It was a laugh of triumph and pure insanity. The voice had experienced pain, heartbreak, loss. I didn't want to move, i didn't know which way was up anymore.

"Merlin, you okay?" I heard Lancelot whisper in my ear. His collected voice calmed me down.

"Yeah, i think so. Are you?" I asked

"Yes." He replied. I was relieved. Lancelot was one of my closest friends, i didn't want him to be heard.

Snap

A twig snapped. Someone or something was getting closer. I could feel my magic coursing through my veins, i was ready for whatever was approaching. All i wanted to do was to get light. The dark makes me feel vulnerable, it's never a nice feeling. I was slightly worried that Percival and Leon hadn't stirred yet. The ground seemed to shudder, like there were a thousand men marching.

Then it stopped.

Fire.

All around us were thousands of flaming torches. They were acting as lights but also as barriers - we couldn't escape. I couldn't see anyone else, who lit the torches.

"Who's there?" Demanded Arthur. Now was not the time for playing hero. There was a low rumble, a shudder coming from the depths of the earth. The shaking became more violent. It soon became difficult to stand, the ground was crumbling around us. I heard a strangled yell beside me as i saw Lancelot dangling procariously on the edge. I stretched my hand out, i found it hard to balance when the ground was shaking beneath me. Eventually he grabbed on to my hand and i managed to haul him to safety, although i wouldn't call this safe.

"You alright?" I asked worridly

"Yeah, thank you Merlin. I fear what would have become of me if i fell down there." Admitted Lancelot.  He sent me a smile, even though it was a small one i was still comforted by it. Slowly the shuddering ceased, i looked down to find us raised above the ground with a huge gaping gorge between us and the ground. The sound of marching returned and this time is stayed there not to far in the distance. Then she appeared.

"Morgana." Arthur stated coldly, his eyes darkned as he said her name.

"You were always talented in stating the obvious dear brother." Smirked Morgana. Arthur gritted his teeth

"Arthur, don't. She's not worth it." I murmured

"Merlin, merlin, merlin. How do you do it?" Questioned Morgana

"Do what?" I asked with confusion

"Keep your secret for so long!" She shouted

I knew she was talking about my magic but i pretended to be clueless

"I have no idea what you're talking about Morgana." I replied keeping a straight face. Her face turned dark and angry, well angrier than it already was. 

"Hleap on bæc."                 Incanted Morgana (Pronounciation : He-lay-a bon-bec)

Before i could react Gwaine and Lancelot were flung backwards, they soared over the small ravine that penned us in and landed on the ground a few metres away - a few too many metres away. They were both knocked out cold, the only reassuring sign was the rise and fall of their chests. Arthur looked at me with a grim expression, i returned the same look.

"I'll ask you again, Merlin."  Hissed Morgana, "How did you do it?" I looked around at the 4 unconcious forms, i could of prevented all of this.

"Mor-" i started but got cut off by a rallying cry by Elyan, he had been quite quiet for the journey, perhaps he was missing Gwen? He charged at Morgana and all her men and jumped but soon found himself suspended in midair. His eyes were wide with fear as he floated procariously over the gap. Morgana grinned briefly and shot him back forcefully and he landed in a heap against a huge tree near Gwaine and Lancelot. It was just me and Arthur left. I stood closer to him, i felt more protected.

"I changed events in time for this to happen. These knights, your friends, give you courage and determination and courage - something to fight for but they can't help you when they are struggling to help themselves. You have thwarted my plans for the last time." Declared Morgana. I too was flung back through the air. Time seemed to slow as a whistled through the air. It only resumed when i connected with a tree trunk

"MERLIN!" Arthur shouted in despair. Then suddenly he was at my side. I lifted my hand up and lightly touched the side of his head

"You're h-head." I croaked. Arthur weakly smiled at me before shutting his eyes.

I soon became aware of the sticky sensation on the side of my head. Blood. How was i not unconciouss by now? I could hear the triumpant shreek of Morgana.  My vision was fogging over and the fire that surrounded me seemed to dance and merge together like one huge fireball, getting bigger and bigger, forming in Morgana's hands. The fire reflected in Morgana's cold eyes.

Wait.

It was real. Every flame from each torch was joining to make an even bigger flame, one which would kill us all. Morgana let out a satisfied grin and forced her hands forward. It began to hurtle towards us. I had to do something, i stood up shakily, and staggered forwards, blood dripping down the side of my face. I raised my hand and enchanted a spell in my head. I could feel every single ounce of my magic flowing through my veins and then transfering into my surrounding. I could imagine how bright my eyes would be, even brighter than Morgana's. My magic was joining together and made a golden forcefield that rippled and shimmered. It was a beautiful sight. The ginormous fireball crashed into the forcefield, i had to keep my hand up with my other hand to keep the strength. It held! The fireball deflected and flew straight back into the heart of Morgana's men. The forest began to set alight, i could hear some of the flames being distinguished by Morgana's magic i was overpowering her. The forcefield began to fade and i could feel myself building up with anger. Was i going to turn?

I stood 25 metres away from Morgana - i stared her straight in the eye. "Forbærne Ácwele!" Shouted Morgana but i defletcted it. The spell i used from the dragon had made my magic stronger.

I was changing, i could feel it. I dropped to my knees and could feel myself get taller, my senses were heightened and i could see my snout. My teeth my bared, my eyes were flat back on my head angrily, Morgana stared at me in shock. I howled loudly and snarled, licking my canines. My hackles were spiked and i clawed the ground. I ran and leaped over the gorge. I soared and landed perfectly on the other side. I was infront of Morgana, she was rooted to the spot. I advanced on her slowly, like i was teasing her. My hind legs bent and i sprang into the air. I could feel my claws rip through her skin but then nothing. I crashed to the ground. She had gone - disappeared. I howled in fustration, i  ran and devoured everything in my path. Swords did not faze me, fire was nothing. I owned it all.

I was breathing heavily by the time my frenzy was over. I stare out at the destruction in front of me. Dead bodies littered every where, charred trees, blood. How could i have done this? This was not me! The wolf took over and these men paid with their lives. I felt myself change back and i slid down a tree and buried my head in my hands and sobbed.

What i didn't realise was that Arthur had seen the whole thing. Everything.
