Lucas's P.O.V I came to on the bottom floor. I looked around and the smoke was thick and flames were swallowing the walls licking up to the next floor. "Lucifer, we got to get those kids out," There was no answer just the sounds crackling newly kindling. "Lucifer, stop messing around, we have to get out." I say again, but it was left hanging in the air with pure silence. I began to choke on smoke in my lungs, I can't breathe, I need air, I fell back to my knees, I look up through the hole in the ceiling, the kids stopped crying and screaming, that not a good sign, I have to get out, but how? I look around and notice a part of the stairs that were still being enveloped with flames, I jumped over them onto the top stair, I could feel it creek underneath my weight. Lucifer has really bad timing to just leave from existence in the worst situations but there's no time to think about that right now. I jump from the stairs and grab onto the edge of the wooden planks and pull myself
The little girl was in the midst of climbing onto my back. I picked her up with ease and placed her in front of me. Are children really this adaptable? "Yes, I am not your parent, I cannot take care of you." I try passing the baby to his sister, I am not particularly fond of children, but the boy began to screech this awful sound so I placed him back on my lap. I sighed this is quite bothersome. "We will go to Camelot, what I remember from Merlin is that Camelot is on the way to Avalon." "Did I kill those men for nothing?" Ashley's voice came through the doorway. "I thought you were dead." I say boredly. "I can't die from fire, I am fire." She says matter of fact. "Does that mean you can die by water?" I ask, smirking. "Wouldn't you like to know." She smirked back. "Anyway," She opened the door wider and the man from the burning building stood in the doorway. "Daddy!" The little girl yells running to him from across the room. The baby in my arms cried and screeched, reachi
The sunlight, it's too bright everything is blurry and my head hurts. I finally sit up taking in my very blurry surroundings as my vision clears everything seems off.The sounds of the village are in chaos, everyone is screaming in horror, and I also don't remember how I got here; or who I am. All I know is that my head is bleeding and the world seems to be crashing down all at once. "Luke" I hear but I don't know where it's coming from. "Luke, come on we have to go!" All of a sudden a girl is taking me by the arm and pulling me down the streets of this strange place. Tripping and falling she's not letting me get my footing, there must be something wrong. "What's going on?" I called out as we were running towards a heard of people "You must have hit your head pretty hard if you don't remember, look we don't have time for reminders we have to keep moving, I'll explain everything when we get out of here." Not know if I should trust this strange girl pulling me down god knows wh
The old man looked at me as if he saw me for the first time; he looked shocked and pained. "How are you still alive?" He asked horrified he placed his hands on my shoulders as tears filled his gaze. I looked around awkwardly and looked back at him with confusion, not sure what hes going on about. Do I know this old man?He held my face between his hands, and I stood there staring with confusion. "I don’t know what you mean, also who are you?" I said embaressed not remembering anything. "Arthur, you don't remember me?!" He said loud enough for everyone to hear. ”Arthur?” I mumbled under my breath, that name didn’t feel all that familiar. "His name isn't Arthur, his name is Luke and we're from Mud-Haven. Our home has been infected with some kind of...Madness. We had no choice but to leave." She said horrified. This girl is giving me a bad headache, how dare she tell this old man who I am? I don't even know who I am. "I don't even know your name, how do you possibly know
"You said you lived over three hundred years, how are you still alive?"I asked curiously. "As a wizard we have a very long life span, sometimes it's a curse and other times it can be a blessing," Merlin explained. Sighing he brought his attention back to me. "That girl, named Ariel said there was a madness in your kingdom. How did that come about?" Merlin asked as if he was hinting at something. "If you're so curious, why don't you come to ask me yourself?" Ariel said sarcastically. "The reason I didn't ask 'you' was because I wanted to know his point of view," Merlin said sarcastically back. "I don't remember anything, sounds like she needs to tell us both." I said sighing. "How do I know I can even trust you, Merlin" Ariel glared at Merlin. "That's a good point, miss Ariel. However need I remind you I saved your life from those treants, so I believe its needless to say I should have a bit of your trust, but I guess it would be foolish of me to expect you to trust a
I let Ariel go, the crowd of people surrounded us they looked very uncomfortable. "We decided that we are going to head out of here, we can't live in a shared cave for the rest of our lives," The man from earlier said. "What about our families, our homes?" Ariel said through wiping her tears. "We have to look at the facts Ariel, the Queen gave up on us. There's no salvation in Mud-Haven, no food, no water, no wheat, Mud-Haven is dying.” The woman from prior says, she looked quite frail, the fact that she got this far is even impressive. ”We can't live there anymore, of course, if there is anyone left in need of help we will be there and take them with opened arms." The man agreed. "Think what you want, and do what you please. But Luke and I are not giving up." Ariel spoke shakily. "I know I have no business in the village's matters, but can I aid you with some assistance?" Merlin assisted. "What kind of an assistance could 'you' possibly give us," A woman said with a s
"That is until Balinor got to her." Merlin chuckled, "Speaking of, Poor Balinor is probably hungry after that long flight. Who's to say you won't be next?" Balinor growled in protest to that as he shook his head and laid down, Ariel, on the other hand, looked scared, with her eyes all bulged and her mouth ajar, with her facial expressions. I myself had to laugh, I tried holding it in, covering my face but it was just too much. I burst out laughing and they both stared at me. It was the first time I laughed since I could remember. Ariel pouted and I finally calmed down I took a minute to take in my surrounding's; There was a large bookshelf spiralling all the way to the top of the tower with a staircase built into the bookshelf. finding myself raising my hand to caress the books binding and the smell of dust. It feels like an eternity since I held a book. Across the binding's there were letters that spelt: P. O. T. I. O. N. S. and E. L. I. X. E. R. S. Ok
Merlin suddenly appeared behind me and whacked me on the side of my head. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?" I rubbed the back of my head. "You really are an abusive old man, you know that?" "In any case how could you let them take her like that?!" I argued. "You did just get thrown across the room, yes?" Merlin said giving me a look. "Yeah, but you have magic couldn't you have done, I don't know anything?" I argued, Merlin shook his head. "We have a lot of work to do, come. Follow me." Merlin said. "I seem to be following you everywhere," I said snidely, Merlin ignoring my comment goes over to another bookcase and starts looking through books and writes down things he thinks is important. "Do you see that caldron over in the corner, bring it over to me on this table." He pointed to a specific place onto the table. I went and picked it up, not realizing just how heavy it actually is. "This thing is like fifty pounds!" I exasperated placing it where he directed.
