There are so many versions of some stories.
Especially when a prospective to the title of The Pledge is
screwing with reality in Utah.
‘They are on their way down. That means…’
Guinevere put her hand on Joanshir’s shoulder, ‘No time for
woe Knight, we must be prepared. Merlin? Delta?’
Merlin and Delta were gathered as Ywain and Mordred pulled
up laid stones from the floor of the chamber. Ywain reached into the ground
after Mordred pulled up a very heavy stone with a small bag in his hand. Then
he reached it to Merlin but Delta stepped in-between and took hold of the bag,
‘Not this time old friend. Change of plans’
Merlin jumped into the face of Delta fierce with rage which
set off a power that knocked everyone in the room but for Delta to the floor,
‘That is mine!’
‘This was never about you Merlin. It was about a boy with a
destiny that you were a part of.’
‘But I saved all of it.’
‘And now it must be returned. The world needs legends but it
needs heroes of reality even more. They wish for me to use the crystal to fix
things.’
Merlin sat down in the floor at Delta’s feet almost in a
sulk like a child, ‘I did not know you did everything those Napoleons told you
to do?’
Delta bent down and patted his friend on the shoulder, ‘The
only thing I am is what I now live to be.’
As vampires began to bang thunderously at the chamber door
Guinevere walked over with Joanshir to were Merlin and Delta where, ‘Merlin
what is going to happen?’
Merlin looked up at the Queen, ‘Things will be put right my
dear. Finally, you all will have peace.’
Then Merlin looked over to Delta who was leading Mordred and
Ywain over to hold the chamber door secure with several long boards, ‘What do I
get Delta? Do I finally face judgment?’
Delta turned after showing the two young Knights what needed
to be done, ‘No. Destiny has further plans for you, Morgan, and Joanshir.’
Joanshir launched in confused rage and kicked Merlin in the
chest and then she slapped Delta, ‘Tell us what is going to happen!? What has happened!?’
Delta takes Joanshir’s hand, ‘I will beautiful lady as we
go.’ The Queen signaled for Joanshir not to kill Delta for his condensation.
Delta didn’t notice, ‘Now Guinevere, Merlin link hands with
us. Mordred you and Ywain hold that door for as long as you can.’
They linked hands and sat down on the floor of the chamber.
Delta took out the crystal and sat it in the middle of the floor between them.
From the crystal appeared Morgan. Mordred turned from the door long enough to
allow the vampires to overpower Ywain’s strength and force the door open and he
said one word before all but himself and his half-brother disappeared,
‘Mother.’
