Hello this is my second attempt at a story, enjoy :D

It was a peaceful morning. The sun was just beginning to rise. The streams of first light were shining through the trees causing the lake to light up.

Next to the lake an old woman and a young man stood close to the bank.

The two turned to each other for the last time before the man brought a knife from out of his robes and slit the woman's throat, while saying "Ic, séo héahsácerd, þe ácwele, strengþe ealde æwfæstnesse!"

Tremors seemed to come from the ground becoming more and more violent.

The woman closed her eyes and smiled before she fell and never moved again. The man was not paying attention to the dying women. He was more focused on the lake. The light was captivating; it was coming from underneath the lake itself. He watched as a body began to rise from the water and break the surface.

It was a young woman, who emerged from the lake dressed in a beautiful dark red dress that was grand enough for a Princess. Her hair was dripping and she was shivering.

The man stared at the women for one more second grinning before whispering a few words, and then disappeared into the wind. Leaving the young woman alone and confused

Merlin carried Freya to the lake and put her down by the edge of the lake and cradled her. Freya turned her head and smiled as she took in the view of the lake being surrounding the trees. She whispered "you remembered"

"Of course. I'm so sorry for what that sorcerer did to you." Merlin told her, desperately clinging to her. "Merlin, you have nothing to be sorry for". Merlin shook his head, "There has to be something I can do, some way to save you". Freya smiled sadly at him, "You've already saved me. You made me feel loved." Merlin began to tear up,"I don't want you to go.".

"One day, Merlin, I will repay you. I promise." And then she closed her eyes and it was the last thing she remembered for a long time…

It should have been impossible. She was cold, it was hard to breathe but there was a light, reaching for it she broke the surface of the Lake. The relief, of being able to breathe the air again, the smell of the earth. When opening her eyes she discovered she was standing knees deep in the water of a lake; a vaguely familiar one at that, what was happening to her?

Freya suddenly stopped her thoughts, there was someone at the edge of the water staring at her. A young man with light brown hair with hazel eyes was grinning at her, but only for a moment before he seemed to disappear into the wind. Taking along a body with him. Everything was still too foggy; it was hard to think straight. 'Was he even real?'

She stopped suddenly, how long had she been gone for? What was happening to her? She remembered someone... Someone important..

"Merlin" she gasped, she suddenly felt the world swaying, she closed her eyes and fell to her knees and succumbed to the darkness once more…
