As they entered the castle a horrifying presence cloaked them. Something? Someone? There was a Monster in the castle the problem was that it wasn't any of them this time. Dark blue carpets covered the floors. Armored gaurd statues on pullers sat. Whispers and echoes across the halls. At first glance the castle seemed empty. But the presence they felt confirmed it wasn't.
Merlin- whatever is in here.. it's making me shaky..
Crescent- we're all shaking Mercy..
And it was true even the very Vast was shooken to his core.
A few seconds had passed as they walked through the halls. The statues moved on there own passing by the group ignoring them and walking around them. A broom swept the floor on its own and tea was poured in mid air. The castle beamed with magic completely covering it and internally filled with it.
Fair- this place is Deepined fortress! From the tales of the Vikings.. they were right.
Mercy- Deepined fortress?
Crescent- it was about a castle that was completely made up of black stone that housed The Greatest Wizard to ever live. If these are the guys that abducted Merlin then we might be in a bad position..
Mercy- The greatest. But.. was he a good guy?
Fair- he could heal any wound and bring the dead back to life. He could live forever and cure every poison. He could obliterate dimensions with ease and create new ones. At least those were the tales.
Mercy- but was he evil?
Crescent- the story's always said he preformed miracles and helped the people.. But he may have changed or the story's may be different from what was told.
A door opened to a stairway.
They climbed stair after stair. There stomach sunk. The more they climbed the more terrified they became.
Mercy- It's so calm the power is above all others but it's making me calm and scared. What it this feeling?
Fair- it's familiar maybe Merlin is somewhere in the castle
They got to the top of the stairs
A giant door at the end of the hallway filled with rooms opened. A blue glow came from the room..
Lax- let's go.. there's no way out of this now
They all walk into the room
A toy train flying around the room in a circle around it. A potion table with glass tools glowed in blue with light. Floating stars made of pure mana flew around. Trinckets and tools. Hundreds of books climbed the walls hundreds of feet upwards a trail of stairs went in a circle all the way up a room at the top
Merlin- the power.. it's there in that room
Fair- what the hell.. it's overflowing..
Crescent started climbing and the rest followed when they got to the top they knocked on the door. It opened
?- Well hello there (a deep sounding voice)
Fair- hello?
Behind a desk sat a tall looking Wizard in starry pajamas with a long white beard.
He stood up standing at 6.5 feet tall
?- Ahh i was not expecting to see all of you today.. it's been a while approximately nine hundred ninety million ninety nine thousand nine hundred and two years if I had to be exact since I've seen you Spicifically..
Mercy- What? I wasn't alive that long ago and how do you know my name?
?- well yes you were alive then and you're alive now and later on you're alive as well
Mercy- who are you?
?- why it's me Merlin
Mercy- Who? MERLIN?!
Merlin- Yes I'm around one hundred million years of age now and I can travel throughout time with my Cosmos dimension. After you killed the king I thought I'd never see you again Mercy.
Mercy- WHAT? ME KILL THE KING? HOW?!
Merlin- oh well it would take much time to explain but the jist is we won. But there was a few stronger than the king I couldn't be there to fight with you because my goals went beyond defeating every foe.
Mercy- how did you get so powerful now? I mean it's no surprise but.. You are the Wizard of legend?! You are The greatest Wizard in history?!
Merlin- why yes. I am. Glad you finally admitted it even if it's a sixteen year old version of you.
Fair- so you're the wizard. Of course you are even when you're abducted of course you're still somewhere doing something to make the world better huh?
Merlin- well if it isn't the vast. I can't believe you sacrificed- maybe I'm saying too much..
Fair- uh oh..
Crescent- so my son becomes this? Dont even know how you could've made me prouder. Of course you went on to do great things huh?
Merlin- Father.. it's been a long while.. I did end up getting mother that last drink you asked about.
Crescent- whoah.. it got that serious?
Lax- My student becomes a hero of legend? This is amazing!
Merlin- Lax Guvo you must not realize yet.. you are far superior to any Wizard in existence. For you are the perfect flame Hellgalion. Do you not understand yet Lax? You are the spark!
Lax- uhh what?
Merlin- nevermind you'll find out eventually you're a teacher after all.
Mercy- I can't believe you're alive after one hundred million years! How?
Merlin- I have time magic and space magic I can control the movement of time in myself to the point where every year my body will only age one minute. And control the space of this dimension in fact it exists beyond time itself. This is probably why Lax can come in here this place has a time stream of its own at some point Lax must've done something outside of this place that made this places time stream reverse to a point and now it is in your time. Although I'm unsure. I have been sleeping the past few years to maintain my mana flow.
Mercy- so we followed the wrong trail to Merlin and found a different version of him from the future..
Merlin- ahh when Mason abducted me I remember you went to the world serpent and it told you where I was that's how you guys were able to get me back. But this time. Haha you totally got bamboozled by the world separating
Mercy- HOW IS THUS FUNNY?
A future has already happened in which events unfolded in chaotic ways. But now that the world serpent has seemingly accidentally changed the future what will the future be now? Well events unfold in a similar manner? Or will Merlin suffer the consequences of the serpent's actions.. will this change or ruin there chances of ending the king?
