"Father, I'd stay this way" said Merlin, "it is the form everyone else is most comfortable with."

"Are you sure of you decision, once you turn your back you can never go back" said Balinor.

"I'm pretty sure" said Merlin. He smiled.

"Okay, at least let the Crystal Cave give you a gift" said Balinor.

"Okay" Merlin said. Balinor clapped his hands and Merlin started to glow.

When he was done glowing, he wore a dark blue cloak, in his hand was a wooden staff, on his ring finger on his right hand was a blue gem and around his neck was a skull pendant.

"And these are..?" asked Merlin.

"The cloak gives you more power, the ring takes another power, the necklace can bring two people to live once more and the staff can bring an army of the dead for 24 hours. Use them wisely" said Balinor.

"Thank you" said Merlin.

"Outside is the Lady of the Lake and a horse, the horse will take you the battle" said Balinor. Merlin bowed and left the cave.

Outside the cave stood Freya, standing in a light blue vest top dress down to her knees, with dark blue tights on and light blue ballet shoes on. Tied around her neck and running down to her knees was a light blue cloak, lighter than her dress.

"Hello Freya" whispered Merlin. Freya smiled.

"Hello Merlin" she whispered. She pecked him on the lips and waited for him to climb the horse before hoping on the back.

"Time to tell Arthur" thought Merlin as they rode.
