I laugh quietly at a joke that Morgana just told me. A soft knock on the door alerts us to another's presence. I set down my glass of water, and head over and ease open the door. Standing outside is Merlin and Gwen. I frown at them, but step aside and usher them in.

"Merlin I knew you had a reckless plan, but for you to drag Gwen into this is not like you at all," I scold him after the door is securely shut behind them. The tracker I placed on Aridian shows that he is no where near my room, but that is no reason not to be cautious.

"She was insistent on helping after the way Morgana was after her interveiw with him," he says simply with a shrug.

"How can we help to get rid of Aridian?" Gwen asks.

"We have to make sure that Uther knows it was Aridian that was responsible for all of the acts of magic that have been reported around Camelot. Is there anything that all of the victims have in common?" Morgana asks as she stands up so the others know she is in the room as well.

"They are all women, so something that they would have purchased and would also cause them to hallucinate," I reason out.

"Eye drops!" Morgana announces almost proudly.

"Of course, if the eye drops have too high a concentration of belladonna in them they can cause many symptoms, hallucinations being one of them," I say excitedly.

"Ok so we need to find the person that has been selling the faulty eye drops, and find out who gave it to them. We should also find a way to plant more amulets in his room to further point the finger at Aridian," Merlin says easily.

"Leave his rooms to me, you two go speak with anybody who sells beauty supplies in the lower town. Morgana I want you to stay here. Right now you and Merlin are the two he suspects the most. If he catches you anywhere near his room then he will try to pin anything we do on you instead of him," I tell her, and despite her not looking happy about it, she agrees, and resumes her seat. "Do not open this door for anyone. I am not here so as far as anyone should be concerned this room is empty," I warn her softly. Se nods her head, and the three of us head out to put everything into motion to hopefully get rid of Aridian.

I shift into wolf form, and ease open the door to Aridian's chamber. On soft paws I creep up to the cabinet beside the bed and cast a silent spell to fill it with amulets. When next the door is opened they should come flooding out. Before leaving, a fun idea pops into my mind, and with a glance at the sleeping witch hunter I cast another spell, before hurrying out of the room. I ease the door closed again, and hurry back to my chambers. I shift a few doors down, and don't fully relax until the door is closed behind me.

"How did it go?" Morgana asks.

"I have planted amulets in his room, and a little something else just for fun. I am hoping that it will get a laugh out of a few people. Now all that is left is for Merlin and Gwen to get back with how they did," I tell her. She sighs, most likely in annoyance at not being able to do anything.

I reach out with my mind and contact Merlin. 'What is taking you so very long Merlin. Gaius is being tortured everyday you know. The sooner we get rid of Aridian the sooner we can get Gaius back, and hopefully without him actually getting in trouble,' I tell him.

'Do you know how many places in town sell beauty supplies? I had no idea that so many women spent so much time trying to look good. You and Morgana, and even Gwen don't seem to put a whole lot of stock in these things,' he seems a bit miffed at that.

'Merlin for one thing, Morgana and I are hardly the standard for such things, and another Gwen is already magnificent. Why mess with perfection, though I am sure that if you checked her home you may find an assortment of things to keep her skin as smooth and moisturized as it is. Not to mention something to help her hair keep that healthy glow that it has,' I tell him simply.

'I suppose I never thought about it that way. I think we may have found something, I will let you know when we get back,' he pulls away slightly so he can remain focused on the task at hand.

Almost an hour later, they return with good news. "We found the person selling the eye drops, and he has agreed to testify in front of the ing that it was Aridian that told him to sell them to women. Now we should get Arthur to go to the king with everything, so that we can get rid of Aridian," Merlin says happily.

"Leave Arthur to me. The rest of you get some sleep. We shall find out how I did in the morning," Gwen says simply, before hurrying from the room.

"You heard her Merlin, off to bed with you. Morgana sleeping here is one thing, but for you to do so is very inappropriate," I tell him with a teasing glint in my eye.

"Alright, just be careful in the morning, at least until we know for sure that he will be sent away," he says, before leaving.

"Now you look bone tired my dear. To bed at once," I guide Morgana towards the bed, and get her settled. Once she is comfy, and has her eyes closed I cast the dreamless sleep over her again. She quickly falls asleep, and I smile. It sometimes amazes me at how quickly I tend to form friendships. Now I just need to figure out which potion wil stop her from having visions in her sleep. Perhaps if I trained her to have them while she is awake then she will be able to sleep better? Well one thing at a time I suppose. I climb onto the other side of the bed, and drift away into the dream land.

'Raven you need to wake up. It's happening. Arthur summoned Aridian before the king first thing in the morning. Also the man that was selling the eyedrops is here as well,' Merlin's mental message breaks through my dreams, and I hurry get up and dressed.

"Come on Morgana, if we don't hurry then we will miss all of the fun," I tell her.

She wakes up slowly, and I have to stop myself from growing in irritation. "What's going on?" she asks sleepily.

"It has already started. If we don't hurry, we will miss everything," I tell her firmly.

That succeeds in getting her up and moving faster. We both get dressed in record time, and hurry down to the throne room. We get there just as the gentle who sold the eyedrops finishes his tale. Uther looks positively furious.

"Perhaps, father, we should conduct his room for further prof of his deception?" Arthur suggests, and the king agrees quickly.

Everyone troops up the Aridian's room, and the knights quickly find the amulets. The look on the witch finders face is priceless, yet somehow it gets better, when a toad forces its way out of his thoat. He tries to talk his way out of it, but ends up tripping and falling out of the bedroom window. My tracking spell ends abruptly letting me know he is dead.

Well it is certainly not the way I thought we would get rid of him, but I am also not going to complain about it either. Uther decides to release Gaius, and apologizes the man profusely for being blinded in his haste to find a sorceror where there wasn't one.

Gaius accepts his apology, but I can sill tell that he is sore at Uther for not having more faith in him. After all, Gaius cares for all of his patients, and is very loyal to Uther and his family. I take up my cloak and basket and head out to the forest to gather more herbs. I really wasn't lying to Aridian about the need for herbs being more prominent after the knights destroyed so many potions and salves the other day. I shudder to think of how badly things could have gotten if Aridian had been left alone just a few days longer.
