As a representation of her mind, the setting does not bode well. Modern decor clashes with furnishings from her time at Camelot, and textures and colors just... flake off here and there. It's an absolute wonder that a mind this confused is able to call out for help at all, ancient magic and prophecy tying them together or not.

(She remembers... eating in the caf, trying to juggle a ham sandwich and about thirty pages of reading due in an hour. She turned away for a moment to dig something out of her bag, and then... really sick, dizzy and confused and exhausted. Then she was standing, and she reached for her phone - )

"Miles?"

She's still holding it, actually, except everything's changed around her, and she's not sure when that happened.

When the first few tuggings came, Merlin simply brushed it aside. Arthur was standing with him, going over battle plans. That was easy enough. He had dismissed the dream--that dream with Allie--as simply that. Born of his loneliness, perhaps. But when the tuggings became more and more insistent, Merlin excused himself.

He let himself be pulled, then, actually be summoned through space and time until he appeared in--what sort of palce was this?

But this place. This place had--He rushed to Allie's side and cradled her in his arms. She was real. She was real.

"Allie? Allie, stay with me."

"I don't know. Hang on." He brushed his fingers against her face. Poison. Someone poisoned her and put her in this state. Why was there no one there to help here? Why...where was this future him? What was he called again? Miles?

"Where are your knights? Where's Miles?" He mentally cursed the future him for not being at her side at a moment like this. He could only do so much from the distant past.

He held her. Blacking out? Not good.

Merlin kissed her, trying to coax her to stay awake. "Now why would you want to do that? Didn't you say you were going to hang me for treason?" he tried to joke with a weak smile. "come on, my liege, you can't give into it. Not now."

Damn it all, where was Miles?

"Tell me about your civil law. I promise. No distraction this time."

so are they in dreamspace or physical space and she was just seeing things? just to clarify

"I suppose your mind and heart view this as your safe place."

He chuckled and looked around.

"Place your focus on me, all right?" he asked, caressing her cheek. "Focus on my voice. On anything you'd like. WHere's Miles?"

Class. The idea was laughable. He never truly needed his tutors. Even as a young man. He held her and kissed her again. Could his magic influence the future? He had never tried before.

When their surroundings started to bleed into each other, he caressed her cheek and kissed her again.

"Allie, Allie, focus. You need to wake up. How else will you be able to usher in that Golden Age of yours, hmm?" he prodded gently. "Please, Allie, you can do it. You can fight this."


Elsewhere, Miles had just finished lecture, actually finding it boring since he finished his assignment weeks ago. When his phone rang, he was surprised to see Allie's number.

"Hell--" Sharp pain shot through his mind.

Allie. Keeling over from poison.

He took off like a shot to the cafe where he was supposed to meet her.

Merlin offered her a gentle smile before bending to kiss her forehead again. "You? Apologising? Must be bad." He cradled her in his arms. "Allie, you need to wake up, though. You could always call for me--well, I suppose even in the waking world, you would have me."


Miles ran like his life depended on it. Well. Allie's life depended on it. He arrived just a few seconds after the paramedics arrived to wheel out his friend. "Allie!" He could feel it. The dark magic that was slowly taking over her.

Shit. Shit. But there was another presence with her. Something good, at least. But...who was it? Doesn't matter. It was good, right? He focused to counteract the spell on her.

Miles was pushed aside by paramedics. Telling him to go home or something. He quickly ran to get his bike and follow them.

"Please, please, you gotta let me up," he begged the nurses. "That's my best friend that's just been wheeled in." He needed to continue the counterspell. They shook their heads. He cursed under his breath.


Merlin, however, was holding Allie whenever she appeared in the unconscious again. It hurt that she called out a different name but he nodded. "Good, good, call for him, Allie. Call for Miles."

She disappeared. Then reappeared again. Merlin held her, kissed her and caressed her face. "I'm in the past, Allie," he whispered. "You belong in the future. Go." He used his own magic to dispel this place of its darkness and tatters. Instead, sunlight poured in with the tapestries rich and vibrant once more. He could clear the poison in her mind. It was up to the strange magic to clear the poison in her veins.

How sweet. This is the new him's powers coursing, he knew it. Merlin held her tightly. "Go on. Go into the future, Allie. There's nothing in old Camelot for you, all right?"

Miles heard his name being shouted and he was off like a shot, moving around doctors and nurses. He called out a spell to finish the counter spell so that the drugs would be taken completely in a magical sense. The doctors will need to detox her in the medical sense.

Miles was pacing outside. Waiting for the nurse to tell him it was okay to go in and see if she was truly all right. Who would've done this? Not Mr. Moore. Man's locked up. Can't be him.


Merlin slipped back into consciousness in Camelot to find Arthur and the rest of his knights surrounding him. He waved them off. "I'm all right." Arthur didn't believe him. he laughed a little. "I'm all right, Arthur."

Merlin felt the pull and resisted the urge to return to ensure that Allie was all right. Because he was there. In the future. As that boy. So he concentrated on the matters before him: like a new knight named Lancelot.


"You know, you really should plan these death threats better. Do it when I'm not in class," came Miles' quick quip. "You're lucky I just got out. What happened? One minute you're fine. The next, you're being hauled away. And all sorts of magic? What's up with that? Did you go to Hogwarts in the last hour?"
emrysambrosius: (Default)

oops

[personal profile] emrysambrosius 2013-12-16 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Of all the things to say. Miles just stared at her.

"What?"

What the hell did she mean kissed older him?

[personal profile] emrysambrosius 2013-12-16 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh no, you don't." He helped her lay back down to combat the dizziness that was so apparent on her face. "What are you talking about, kissing older younger me? What, on top of jumping in the magical whirlpool, you decided to time travel or something? Trust me, making out with high school me is a bad idea."

[personal profile] emrysambrosius 2013-12-16 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Which one do you think you're talking to, Allie?" he asked, frowning a little. What the...how could she talk with him from the past and he's gonna need the hospitals' strongest vicodin for the headache that was forming.

Miles gave a huff and encanted a spell to part the fog over her mind, the last of whatever was used to drug her.

"That ought to help you out without the man putting more drugs into your body," he muttered. "Now why don't you start at the part where you make sense?"
emrysambrosius: (Default)

[personal profile] emrysambrosius 2013-12-16 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)

"Yeah, especially the part where you kissed older me?" He asked, still incredulous about it.

emrysambrosius: (Default)

[personal profile] emrysambrosius 2013-12-16 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)

"Try again." Because there was no way he could be in two places at once. Right?

emrysambrosius: (Default)

[personal profile] emrysambrosius 2013-12-16 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)

He was being calm. He was being really calm about it. "How did you summon the first time? And why did you do it more than once? Allie, I'm always a text away."

emrysambrosius: (Default)

[personal profile] emrysambrosius 2013-12-16 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)

Oh he sees it all right. "Allie. What did you DO?" Still being calm even though he's about to break something with his grip. He'd remember if something like that happened, right? Plus he had been steady with Vanessa for a year.

[personal profile] emrysambrosius 2013-12-16 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)

"Allie..." He's frustrated. What the hell? He thought they lest behind dodging questions in high school. He yanks the blanket down a little and gave his best stern look.

emrysambrosius: (Default)

[personal profile] emrysambrosius 2013-12-16 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)

Fine. She can win this time but he's not going anywhere. He planted himself in that chair and stared her down. "Soon."
