Ava's POV
"Are you sure we're going the right way?" I ask Merlin. As we walk through the country side.
"Yes Ava" he assures me. "It should be over this next hill" he states.
"Well lets get going then, Gaius is probably wondering what's taking us so long" I state. We go up the hill and Merlin was right. Camelot is on the other side. He sends me a smile and we head for it. We soon enter the lower town and start to make our way to the castle. As that's where Gaius lives as court physician.
"Wonder what's going on" Merlin says as we see a crowd forming.
"Lets go check it out" I suggest. He agrees and we go. We see a man brought onto a platform. As another man addresses the crowd from a balcony.
"Let this serve as a lesson to all. This man, Thomas James Collins, is adjudged guilty of conspiring to use enchantments and magic. And, pursuant to the laws of Camelot, I, Uther Pendragon, have decreed that such practices are banned on penalty of death. I pride myself as a fair and just king, but for the crime of sorcery, there is but one sentence I can pass" he states.
Uther raises his arm, then lowers it as a signal to the executioner. Thomas Collins is beheaded. People gasp. I grab Merlin's arm.Why would mother send us here? Merlin had better be careful. "When I came to this land, this kingdom was mired in chaos, but with the people's help magic was driven from the realm. So I declare a festival to celebrate twenty years since the Great Dragon was captured and Camelot freed from the evil of sorcery. Let the celebrations begin" he declares. I scowl how could he celebrate something like this?
Suddenly a woman wails and the crowd parts to reveal an elderly woman. "There is only one evil in this land, and it is not magic! It is you! With your hatred and your ignorance! You took my son! And I promise you, before these celebrations are over, you will share my tears. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a son for a son" she tells Uther.
"Seize her" he orders. Before the guards could seize her. She disappeared using magic.
"Lets find Gaius" I tell Merlin. He nods and we leave. We soon enter the castle and I spot a knight. "Excuse me kind sir, can you tell us where we could find the court physician?" I ask him. He points to a stair case. "Thank you" I say.
Merlin and I walk up the stairs and he knocks on the partially opened door. No answer. We enter the room. "Hello? Gaius!" Merlin calls gently. I spot a man around Uther's age looking at a bookshelf on the second floor.
