I love not being dead anymore! I had ice cream, and walked on solid ground for ages. It snowed even! Is snowing, rather. And there were people dancing on the lake. It was frozen. I tried, but it was awful. I kept slipping. Does anyone know how they were able to stand and move on the ice? I think they had special shoes, but I didn't get to ask.

	Well you weren't awake for it, but I dragged you out of a lake once. Kept you from drowning... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When was this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I never actually knocked you out when Sophia was around...She tried to drown you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, well that is so much better. Thank you, Merlin, for keeping that from me for such a long time. Did you also know why she wanted to drown me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngmagician 2009-11-16 07:33 am UTC (link)
	You never asked! You said not to mention her. She had been banished from Avalon with her father. She had to sacrifice you to get back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	a_royal_prat 2009-11-16 07:38 am UTC (link)
	WITH GOOD REASON. Of course she did. And you just happened to be there to save me. Again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngmagician 2009-11-16 07:45 am UTC (link)
	So don't get mad at me for not mentioning her before now. I had a habit of it back home. So we don't run into this argument again, any thing else you want to know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why don't you tell me. I seem to be unconscious for most of these stories. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You weren't always unconscious. I mean, the woman who tried to kill you when we first met...Then the both of us had stopped Valiant and that Afanc. I saved you from the poison Nimueh sent, but you got me that flower. Oh, and the light was me...

this is weird
and in writing is just...

It wasn't always you, I saved Uther when Edwin tried to kill him. Using magic right in front of him -- stupid, risky, and well...It worked out. I had the sword Uther used to kill the Black Knight enchanted as well...

Then -- well, I already told you about Nimueh and the questing beast...~~sort of... yelled it at you~~

It's always the two of us.

	~~Right. Of course it is. You're just always-~~You let my father use an enchanted sword? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngmagician 2009-11-16 08:17 am UTC (link)
	It was meant for you, but yes -- It was the only way to stop that Knight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You were going to give me an enchanted sword. And where is this sword now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngmagician 2009-11-16 08:21 am UTC (link)
	At the bottom of the lake where I threw it, I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	a_royal_prat 2009-11-16 08:23 am UTC (link)
	It's in a lake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngmagician 2009-11-16 08:24 am UTC (link)
	Yes. Where I threw it. I couldn't destroy it, after all, it was enchanted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	a_royal_prat 2009-11-16 08:28 am UTC (link)
	Is there any reason it needed to be destroyed before it became useful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngmagician 2009-11-16 08:32 am UTC (link)
	Well, the dragon said Uther couldn't have it so I had to hide it. ~~i probably sound mad~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	a_royal_prat 2009-11-16 01:55 pm UTC (link)
	You've talked to the dragon. You listened to the dragon? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngmagician 2009-11-16 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, he -- He's helped me... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	a_royal_prat 2009-11-16 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	And you sound so certain of that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Before we came here I found out - he'd lied. It's hard to explain. ~~I'd rather not~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	a_royal_prat 2009-11-16 08:08 pm UTC (link)
	Try. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't --

Fine. ~~as simple as I can~~ You remember the questing beast? When it bit you, it's fatal. There was no cure. The dragon told me the only way how to save you.

I went to Nimueh and made a deal. I traded my life for yours, but she tricked me. That's why my mother got sick. I went to find her, that's why I left Camelot, to set things right. Gaius left before me, and tried to take my place. He'd almost -

Nimueh - I ~~killed~~ stopped her to save them.

The dragon knew what she would do. He didn't care. Just used me so -- so I could free him one day.

	You stopped her. Merlin, I'm not sure how often I say this, but the occasion merits it, you are an incredible idiot. What possessed you to go storming off after a psychotic sorceress bent on killing everyone? No one is worth that. I was not worth that. If you had died-- Don't do it again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngmagician 2009-11-16 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	I had to! The things she kept doing, and she would have let Gaius die. Besides, of course you're worth it. Ok. I promise not to go storming off after Nimueh again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
