"Thank you to everyone who has commented. I must admit, it has been awhile since I've written and there is a reason for that. This story was supposed to end several chapters ago but you all insisted I write more so I did. Then a lot of the comments weren't that nice and every time I tried to write I just got really depressed? Anyway, I'm back, I have a plot, so I no longer need story ideas! Yay!

As they were heading back to Camelot, they ran into Mordred because apparently a search party had been sent out for them.
Mordered, for some reason, did not seem surprised to run into them at the least, nor surprised that Merlin was a child. In fact, immediately upon seeing Mordred Merlin ran right up to him for a hug. That at least seemed to surprise the boy.

Wait a second, of course he wasn't surprised he was a druid, he could probably feel the magic coming off of him. This actually might be a god sent, having someone who understood magic helping them.

"Your highness, why does it appear Merlin is a child?"

"Well, the curse was meant for me, but the idiot jumped in front of it. Mordred did you know Merlin had magic?"

Mordred froze on the spot. Seemed like a yes to Arthur.

"Mordred. We know and we've accepted it, we aren't going to hurt him. It's just- I know you used to be a druid, I was wondering if you could help us with magical knowledge?"

"It's not my secret to tell but- I suppose that you could die if you don't know, and Emerys would kill me for letting you die."

"Emerys?"

Mordred sighed as he sat down "Yes. We have a prophecy about a king, the once and future king who is to unite all of Albion and bring magic back with the help and protection of the most powerful sorcerer to ever live."

"And that would be?"

"My people call him Emerys, though you know him as Merlin"

"What the fu-"

"Which is why you could be in serious trouble. Emerys has been protecting you and saving your life at least once a week. And now he's a child."

"Shit."

"Quiet."
