An Unlikely Visitor

Heroes Welcome?

“There you two are!” Gaius exclaimed as Merlin and Eilwen entered Gaius’ room. “Do you know that there is a-“
“Fire? We knew about it.” Merlin replied unfazed.
“Knew?” Gaius asked. “Oh god what did you do?”
Merlin gave a smug smile. “We took care of it.”
“Took care of it, eh? With magic I take it.”
Merlin nodded enthusiastically
Gaius walked over to Merlin and smacked him on the head.
“Ouch! What was that for?” he asked.
“That was for using magic in public!” Gaius replied.
“Eilwen used water sorcery, why doesn’t she get hit?”
“She’s a guest. She didn’t know any better.” Gaius said. “But, I am proud of both of you. You two saved the castle; good work.”
“It was mostly Eilwen.” Merlin said. “She used that water sorcery of hers to put out the flames.”
Eilwen blushed slightly. “Merlin was a great help too though. He stopped time so we could extinguish the fire. If it wasn’t for him, who knows what would have happened.”
“Well, in any case, you both saved Camelot. Now go get some rest; you two look like you need it.” Gaius said.
