Okay, I've decided to make this the last chapter.
Most of the stuff from the original last chapter is here...with a few additions ^-^
Hope it's good ^-^

Once the laughter calmed down, Gaius approached Kynthia and Mathias. "Thank you so much for curing Merlin." He bowed to both of them.

"No need, it is the least we can do for the one who is to help bring magic back to Camelot." Mathias said.

"I help my kin, and those who are pure of heart." Kynthia smiled.

"Why do you test people to get into your kingdom?" Leon asked.

"I do not want corruption in my kingdom. The best way to keep us hidden is through the caves. I watch the caves and test the people who venture inside. For most people, it is just a cave, not to deep and perfect for a campsite when traveling. To those who have potential, I test them, bringing their past back. To those who threaten me, coming into the cave to hurt my people, they are tested, but in a different way."

"How so?" Lancelot asked.

"I turn their fears against them."

The room was silent, "Like what happened to Uther?" Merlin asked.

"Yes, the mandrake root allows one to see their deepest fears, but a tear is needed for it to work. I can read a person's soul and bring out their deepest fears and sorrows."

"How do you know about the root?" Merlin asked.

"I'm all knowing" She smirked.

Another moment of silence before Percival returned to the topic, "Is that why people are found dead in your caves?"

Kynthia nodded, "Many men have threatened my kingdom; they walk into the caves with their swords or spells hitting the walls. Thinking that they would be able to enter Erelia and take it over. They would last but a few hours and eventually kill themselves. It is a sad fact, but something that must be done. I transport their bodies to the outside of the cave and allow their companions to find them."

"Wow, so…uh…when I was hitting the ground when we were in the caves…" Gwaine trailed off.

"Do not worry Gwaine; you were trying to get to Arthur. You were no threat." Kynthia assured.

Gwaine sighed, "Well, that's good. Don't want to be on the wrong side of you."

Kynthia smirked, "No, you don't"

"He'll probably test you in the future" Lancelot smirked.

"I'm sure he will" Mathias chuckled.

Gwen looked out the window, "It seems to be late morning. Shall we do something today, to celebrate the meeting of Kynthia and Mathias and Merlin's good health?"

"Sounds like a plan, any suggestions?" Arthur smiled.

"I think I have an idea." Kynthia and Mathias exchanged smiles. "Follow me please." They walked out of the room.

Gwaine helped Merlin walk while the others followed close behind. When they reached the main corridor they saw Uther standing by a window. He turned and glared at Kynthia who gave him an even stare as they walked by.

Horses were waiting for them in the courtyard and they rode off into the forest.

"Where are we going?" Percival asked.

"Ask Merlin" Kynthia smiled. The group looked at their friend who was growing more uncomfortable the farther they went.

"What's wrong Merlin?" Gwen asked

"Are you not feeling well again? Are you still hurting?" Gwaine asked.

"No, I'm fine." He assured.

"Then why do you look so uncomfortable?" Gwaine asked.

"I think I know where we are going" He stared at Kynthia, who was staring back at him. She smiled and nodded before moving on, the others behind her. Merlin sighed and followed

They all stopped in a large clearing. "This is where we last met the dragon" Leon observed as they dismounted their horses. Gwaine helped Merlin again.

"Is it?" Mathias looked around.

"How fitting" Kynthia chuckled.

"What do you mean?" Elyan asked.

Before any answer could be given, the sound of beating wings grabbed their attention. Moments later Kilgharrah stood before the group. The knights drew their swords and got into a defensive position. Gwen hid behind Arthur.

Ignoring the others, Kynthia approached the golden creature, "Welcome Kilgharrah. I trust you are well?"

"I am well My Lady" Kilgharrah bowed.

"That is good to hear." She smiled.

"T-that's a-a d-dragon" Leon stuttered. Everyone stared up in awe at the magnificent creature, everyone except Arthur, Merlin, Mathias, and Kynthia.

"Indeed it is Leon" Mathias chuckled. "You may put your sheath your swords, you will not be harmed."

The knights were dumbstruck, but followed the suggestion and sheathed their weapons.

Merlin approached the beast and smiled, "It's good to see you again."

"You too, young warlock; I am glad to see you well" Kilgharrah returned.

"I guess I should introduce you since you might see them again." Merlin chuckled at the frozen knights. He backed up and pushed each person forward as he introduced them. "This is Leon, Elyan, Percival, Gwaine, and Lancelot."

"Ah, the prophesized Knights of the Round Table" Kilgharrah said.

Merlin nodded and continued, "This is Gwen and Arthur"

"The Once and Future King and his Queen" Kilgharrah added.

"And this is Gaius" Merlin smiled.

"Yes, the physician that helps you. I am pleased to meet you all" He bowed slightly.

The others bowed as well. Gwaine stepped forward more and examined the dragon, walking around him.

"Gwaine what are you doing?" Arthur asked nervously.

"Looking" Gwaine replied simply.

"Why?" Gwen asked, also feeling a bit uneasy.

"How many times am I going to be able to do this? I mean, it's not every day you meet a dragon." Gwaine smirked, before returning to his examination.

When he was finished, Gwaine returned to his friends with a satisfied smile on his face.

"All done?" Lancelot smirked.

"Yes, I think that I covered everything" Gwaine replied.

"Are you going to write a book now Gwaine?" Elyan snickered.

"No, but if I did, it probably would be a waste to read. It's the reason I don't read books, a waste of my precious time." Gwaine replied.

"Oh, and what makes your time so precious?" Leon asked.

"Why it means more time to spend in the tavern of course. I can't have that mead go to waste now can I? Not to mention a few ladies to keep my bed warm." Gwaine wiggled his eyebrows.

The others shook their head at their friend while Kynthia and Mathias chuckled. Kilgharrah grinned while looking at the strange knight in front of him.

"I will tell you this young knight," Kilgharrah bent down so he was eye level with Gwaine, "You are the first person to do that."

Gwaine was frozen for a second, but shook himself a bit before smirking, "Really? No one has circled you in observation before? I am surprised"

Kilgharrah chuckled, "You seem to have very little self preservation."

Gwaine puffed out his chest a bit, "Why thank you" The knights chuckled as Percival shoved him playfully.

"I am truly glad you are in good health young warlock." Kilgharrah said after everyone calmed down.

Merlin smiled, "Thank you, my friend"

Kilgharrah turned to Kynthia, "A pleasure to finally meet you my queen. I hope that your reign will be more known from now on"

"We shall see; the time has not yet come for me to be known. However, you are free in my kingdom if you so choose." Kynthia replied.

Kilgharrah bowed then turned to Arthur, "It would seem that your fear has lessened." He observed.

"Only lessened?" Arthur smirked.

"Indeed, you have a lot to learn young Pendragon. May I suggest, reading. Though your knight may not find it an enjoyable pastime, you may find it very enlightening." The dragon grinned.

Elyan snorted while Gwaine huffed. Arthur smiled, "I shall keep that in mind, thank you."

Another smile and Kilgharrah took off into the sky.

Lancelot turned to Kynthia and Mathias, "Does this mean that you are leaving as well?"

"Yes, it is time for us to return to Erelia. My job is done." Kynthia said.

"Thank you, for all you've done" Merlin said.

Kynthia smiled, "Of course Merlin, anything for my kin." She turned to Arthur, "We shall cross paths again I hope. When you are king, we shall meet again."

Arthur nodded, "I apologize for your people's suffering. I hope to unite our kingdoms in the future."

"When Albion is born, we shall make peace." She replied. She and Mathias backed up more.

"Farewell and good luck" Mathias bowed and faded away with Kynthia.

A moment of silence passed, "We should return" Arthur said. The others nodded and left, leaving Merlin and Gaius behind.

Gaius approached his apprentice slowly, "We haven't seen the last of her."

Merlin chuckled, looking up into the clouds, "No, I think not. I have a feeling that she will be back to help me some time soon."

"It will be a great way to learn more spells, to harness your powers better."

"Yeah, it will be quite the adventure." Merlin chuckled before following Gaius back to Camelot.
