Hey guys! :D This chapter took much time for me, and I've done my very best on it. so a little proud may I be, right? Also thanks to my beta Bookybookworm :D

"Why?!" He yelled in total despair to the gods. "Am I too late? What did I do wrong?" But the only sound was the sound of Merlin's quiet sobs. The whole night was as silent as death. The moon wasn't shining, and there was little from the stars. A sudden wind came up which slightly touched the leaves and the treetops. Merlin tightly embraced her as if he wanted to protect her from everything. The wind became stronger and dark clouds were gathering before the feeble light of the stars. It became pitch dark.

At once a bolt of lightning hit the water. At that moment the clouds shattered apart and unveiled a crystal clear full moon. The lake seemed to be liquid silver. In the middle appeared a beautiful goddess, gently hovering above the surface. Merlin saw her and immediately realised who she was.

"Do not fear me, Emrys." Her voice was soft and hollow. "I am the goddess Pheleicia, I am here to save the Lady of the lake. Do not speak, and listen carefully. When I am finished, you may ask me only one question, which I will answer according to the truth. The truth, and nothing but the truth, so think carefully.

"First you should know that Freya being brought back to earth is a result of highly dark magic. Because of this, none of the gods nor goddesses think she deserves to live. All but me, I think she belongs here, with you, Emrys. Look, if most of the gods would let her live, there wouldn't be a problem. Freya would get enough life force for her entire life. But since I am the only one who is willing to give her that force, she has to come here every time by full moon, so that I can provide her with new strength. BUT, there is one thing, I can not change. If she ever skip a full moon at this lake, she will die immediately, the gods will take her soul, and she will never ever be able to return to this world again.

"Now Emrys, there is a single cloud that will float past the moon, and when the moon is to be seen again, I need to know your answer and your question, if you have one."

Thanks for reading, I would love to know your opinion, so please let me know. :D
