All the people, besides one, looked uneasy and slightly scared. A log broke in the fire, causing everyone, but that same person, to jump. Merlin looked calmly around, making eye contact with every person around the campfire, then suddenly came out of character and gave a brilliant smile to everyone. "So, how did I do?"

"Mate, you did an amazing job." Gwaine said after a small pause.

"As much as I hate to say it, but I am not sleeping easily tonight," Elyan stated. Everyone stayed uiet, trying to control the small shivers wracking from their body, each thinking a different thing.

Gwen: "I knew he would do a great job. Those were much better then ax murder hallow one he told last time."

Percival: "He was so convincing. Merlin is usually an open book, but now I really don't know about that. If he can tell stories like that, maybe he can lie a little better than we thought."

Arthur: "I'm shivering from the cold, not the story, obviously. I am the King; I don't get scared of stories. Wait, what was that noise?"

Gwaine: "I'm hungry. What if I went down to the kitchen in the middle of the night, to steal, I mean liberate some food, and there was the dog's head? Shiver Don't think of that."

Leon: "Oh my lord, two of these stories are true!"

Merlin disrupted their thoughts, "So which one do you think is the false one?"

"You mean two of them are true!" several of them yelled.

"Yeah, that was the entire point of the game, was it not? So guess. Was it the girl with red eyes, Mad Henry, or the one where humans can lick too?"

"You have to be kidding me! Two of them are true!" Arthur continued, not believing him, and looking into the forest around them like a ghost, Mad Henry, or a murderer could pop out at any time.

"Well yes, your pratness. It might have been your lack of brain power that caused you to forget that this is Truth, Truth, and Lie." Arthur pouted slightly grumbling about lack of brain power and how he can give him lack of brain power if he wasn't careful.

"I pray that the murderer one isn't true, I truly pray to God that it isn't. I really don't like the fact that there a sick minded people like that in the world. I will stick to the supernatural, ghosts, and revived dead people thank you very much." Gwaine stated.

"Wow, big word; supernatural. That was 5 syllables. We are all very proud of you Gwaine," Merlin teased.

"I think that it is the girl in the white dress one. If there was seriously a ghost who appeared regularly like that, people would panic and we would hear about it." Percival logically said, throwing his two cents in.

Everyone went around in a circle, saying which they thought was a lie. Arthur and Elyan said the last one. Leon said Mad Henry, and Gwen agreed with him. After every one of them had gone, they turned to Merlin, eager, but scared, to learn what was true and really out there in the world. But their silent pleas were not granted.

"You know what, I'm going to wait for the morning to tell, just to keep you guys on edge."

Arthur looked a little panicked "Merlin, as your king, I command you to tell us."

"What, are you scared?"

"No," Arthur backtracked, "I just, I'm just-"he stuttered.

"Scared" Merlin interrupted.

"Just want to know" Arthur ended lamely, not really convincing anyone.

If you're not scared, then you will have no problem waiting till the morning. Now I'm going to sleep." Merlin turned to the edge and started to make Arthur bed, before making his own. Everyone exchanged slightly panicked looks, but then started to get ready for bed, jumping at every sound.

In the morning, when Merlin woke up, everyone was awake already. The small bags under their eyes showed how well they slept. Merlin looked around, and found that his pratness was still sleeping. Everyone saw the gleam in Merlin's eyes when he went to wake the king up. And everyone knew that he was about to wake the king in a special way, that will result with the stocks once they got home. Everyone stepped back so that they wouldn't be associated with what was about to happen.

Merlin went to Arthur, and did something weird, yet absolutely genius. Everyone knew that Arthur was creeped out the most by the 'Humans lick too' story. And so, the servant woke the king by wetting a cloth, and rubbing it across the king's palm. Just like if someone had licked him palm. The king woke up straight away, with a look of terror on his face, which faded when he saw everyone laughing.

Gwaine didn't let Arthur start his entire speech about how he wasn't scared and how the stocks missed Merlin, so he is going to visit them once they get back. "Alright mate, you now have to tell us which one. As you see, everyone is dying to know."

"So you want to know," Merlin mysteriously said, "which one is it? Did I see a girl with red eyes, did my mother know of Mad Henry, or did Lily foster learn the hard way that humans lick too? Well I can happily say, that…" he paused building tension.

"That Mad Henry didn't exist" he admitted.

Some gave a sigh of relief, while other paled. A bunch of voices clamored at once

"Are you telling me-"

"You saw-"

"Who was Lily Foster-"

"That's so creepy-"

"-expect us to believe-"

"Why didn't-"

And so forth and so forth.

"Percival, the reason why you never heard of this ghost is because whenever they called someone to get rid of the ghost; she didn't appear. Only when they had left was when she appeared again. Eventually, the innkeeper just gave up and told everybody not to open the door. Lily Foster, well, there is nothing to be said there. Now, are we going to go to these villages or not?"

And from then on, Arthur and the knights were always making sure that Merlin told stories at every campfire.
