Hullo, this is my first time writing fan-fiction, so I doubt it will turn that great. We'll see, you never know. Ok, so this would be taking place after "With All my Heart." Also, I really appreciate reviews, private messages, anything. They bring joy to my day.

Alright, enough chit-chat let's get this party started, shall we?

Merlin followed the knights and Arthur on his small mare reluctantly on yet another hunting trip. He hated these trips, especially after the time Arthur made the mistake of shooting the unicorn. Merlin began to lag behind.

"Merlin," Arthur called, "Keep up, won't you? I swear, you put such a damper on hunting trips. You're sullen attitude puts everyone off."

Merlin inhaled deeply.

"Sorry, Sire," he replied through gritted teeth.

The group passed the lake of Avalon. Merlin admired the majesty of the mountain. It reminded him of Freya. The scenery was paralleled in beauty only by the young druid girl who used to live there. He sighed nostalgically.

"Something troubling you, Merlin?" Gwain asked warmly. Merlin looked away from the mountain and smiled. "I'm just enjoying the view."

That night Merlin spent hours thinking about Freya. Of course he still loved her, but he wondered if he would ever move on. Would he ever find someone again that made him as happy as she had, or was it his destiny to die alone? What would Freya have wanted? Would she feel betrayed if he fell in love again?

That night he prayed for some sign that would let him know what was right. He had already flirted a couple times with that servant girl, Sefa, but he couldn't let himself go any further than that. Not without knowing how Freya would react. The worst part was that he could tell no one of his feelings because of his secret. Even if he could, he would feel too embarrassed to discuss such matter with someone like Arthur, who would probably would just make a joke or slap him on the shoulder to make him feel better.

As he drifted off to sleep, he desperately wished for a sign. Something to reassure him. To help him find answers.
