A crash was heard as a white and golden ship crash landed in Camelot.

"It's been nine hundred years since I was last here." Douxie says with a laugh and helps Archie sit on his shoulder "hasn't changed for a bit, except for the flying part."

Steve laughs "nine hundred years? Yeah right, you're like what, like nineteen?"

"Give or take a few centuries." Archie says, transforms into a dragon and takes off.

"Uh cool flying castle ship but what's the great danger you keep talking about?" Toby asks Merlin.

"Ah there you are!" Merlin says relieved, ignoring Toby's question.

Toby beams when he sees Claire and Blinky. Claire calls his name happily and the two, Blinky and Arrgh hug.

After they part another girl appears on top of the stairs.

"Master Merlin, You're back." She says with a relieved smile. She has dark blonde, long wavy hair. A witch, who's been alive as long as Douxie.

She lets out a gasp while tears form in her green eyes once she notices Douxie.

Douxie stares at her in disbelief.

"Mailin!" he whispers in awe. Tears form in his eyes, and he wanted to run to her but before he could though Steve had stepped forward and grabbed Mailins hand, kissing it.

"Hello there beautiful. The name's Steve." He introduces himself with a sly smirk.

Mailin gives him a strained smile back "Hello, nice to meet you. Hehe, um, I'm Mailin."

Steve just grinned and kept on flirting with her, missing her obvious discomfort.

He lets out a yelp as he suddenly got pulled back. He visibly pales as Douxie glares daggers at him.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Obviously flirting with my gorgeous girlfriend over here." Steve rolls his eyes and then winks at Mailin.

"Back off of my wife, will ya?!"

Steve notices how angry Douxie looks and scrambles off quickly.

Douxie sighs before turning to Mailin who smiles softly at him.

"I thought I'd never see you again!" A few tears roll down Douxies cheeks while his voice was barely above a whisper.

They finally hug each other again and share a missed kiss.

They parted just a little a few seconds later, didn't let go of each other just yet and Douxie felt like he was falling in love all over again when she smiled at him.

He puts a hand on her cheek and wipes a tear away that had escaped her as well.

"I missed you so much!" Mailin says and lets a sob escape her lips.

"I missed you too love." Douxie says, his voice full of love and he dove in for another kiss which Mailin gladly returns.

An ahem made them part and they laugh sheepishly as Merlin gives them a look and said, "I'm glad you're reunited but we have urgent matters to discuss."

The two nod, intertwine their hands and follow Merlin with the others to where Jim was.

"Jim!" Toby says sadly "what happened to him?" He asks.

"We were ambushed. Some ancient, dark warrior. An unstoppable knight clad in green who struck down master Jim." Blinky explains.

"Master, is that the same knight we saw at the bookstore?" Douxie asks Merlin.

"One and the same." Merlin answers and continues to explain "That onyx shard is working its way towards his heart. I placed the boy in stasis, stalling its process... for now."

"If I had my Shadow Staff, I could've saved him." Claire says regretfully.

"Who is this Green Knight? How do I get my hands on him?" Toby asks angrily.

"I do not know." Merlin answers truthfully "The Green Knight said but one name, which chilled me to the bone. Morgana."

"Oh, I hate that lady. Oh wait, I thought we kicked her butt to the Shadow Realm." Toby says confused.

"Which he appeared not to know, but he bore the emblem of Camelot." Merlin says and then leads everyone outside, over a bridge into a bigger tower. "Come with me, quickly. I fear the answer lies in the past." Blinky and Arrgh stay with Jim.

"A dark menace is coming, one even I cannot face alone. You are all now soldiers in a war started centuries ago for the world of magic." Merlin explains and opens the time map.

"Once, the realms of Magic and Man clashes in endless bloodshed. King Arthur sought to wipe out magic that ravaged the lands in his war against Gunmar. I brought what few spell casters I could under my protection to spare them from the sword."

"Including me and Mailin." Douxie mentions and I make my hand glow a rosé aura as I show Claire and Toby my magic.

"Oh, and Morgana la Fay." Douxie adds.

"She was the finest student I ever taught... until she tried to kill me. Thankfully, in my all-seeing wisdom, I created a secret weapon, the Trollhunter amulet. The war came to a standstill, and I imprisoned Morgana at the Battle of Killahead Bridge." Merlin tells us.

Outside I hear booming thunder and immediately grew alarmed.

"This Green Knight that assailed us was clearly born of dark magicks, but I have no memory of him nor what connection he could have to Morgana." Merlin states „We know not what he is nor why he pursues us. Though, his presence is a dire omen of things to come." Merlin finishes.

Suddenly the bell rings loudly and we gasp. The castle shakes and makes us fall to the ground.

„What's happening?" Claire asks panicked.

„Have you never been under attack before?" Merlin asks sarcastically and then called „to the battlements!"

We run outside to see what was going on. I'm standing on top of the tower with Douxie and Merlin.

Archie flies towards us „oh no, I think we have something of a problem."

A huge skull like building closes in on us.

„Oh, fuzz buckets." Douxie and I curse at the same time.

„No... the arcane Order... they found us." Merlin says dreadfully.

„You said they wouldn't find us this fast!" I sighed frustrated „we have to keep Nari safe!" I shout while Merlin shouts „Everyone, get to safety, now!"

Skrael Shot his Magic at us and Merlin counters him after shouting the spell „Fulgur praeca!"

His magic was shot back which causes Merlin to lose his staff and Archie chases after it. The arcane Order shoots their canons at us, and Camelot's canons are firing back.

„We Must flee!" Merlin shouts as Camelot shakes and takes heavy fire.

„I'm on it!" Douxie yells and jumps to where you steer the flying castle „I've got it, I've got it, I've got it!" he calls as usual while steering the castle out of the way.

The arcane orders castle rams Camelot and skrael create bridges out of ice beams to boarder us. I fall back with a grunt and Merlin runs towards Douxie.

„They're Boarding us! We must break free! Steer us clear at my command!" Merlin shouts.

„I'm on it!" Douxie shouts back.

The order kept firing ice beams to keep us from escaping and fire beams to further damage Camelot.

Shadow mephits come charging over the ice at us.

Archie was still searching for the staff and as he flew over me and Douxie we both shout to him „Archie, find the staff or we are all dead meat!"

„It's adorable how you're talking in sync like the married couple you are but what do you people think I'm doing?!" Archie shouts back.

I feel heat rise to my cheeks at that while I kept blasting the shadow beasts with my rosé colored magic.

Galahad then sacrifices himself and breaks us free from the ice.

„Hisirdoux, now!" Merlin shouts up to us.

Douxie did what he had to do while he kept chanting „please don't bow us up. Please don't blow us up."

I put my hand on his shoulder to calm him „don't worry, I know you can do this Douxie." I smile lovingly at him, and he nods firmly at me „thanks Mailin."

„We don't have enough power for the jump!" Archie calls worriedly.

„Trust in Merlin!" Douxie says confidently.

A large green beam rose from the heart of Avalon and opened a time rift.

Douxie grunts „we have to steer Camelot through the time rift!"

Steve, Claire and I take ahold of the wheel as well and help Douxie turn it towards the rift.

The mouth of the skull opens and the Green Knight, Skrael and Bellroc shoot a combination of their magic at us.

It breaks a tower off and we fall, barely holding on to the castle.

"These assholes are breaking MY fucking castle!" I yell anraged, how dare they! I feel Douxie look at me with fear.

"I forgot how scary you are when angry." He says just as Jim falls towards the rift.

Claire calls out his name desperately.

„What do we do man?" Steve asks in a high-pitched voice.

„Trust me!" Douxie shouts. He makes Claire fall. Douxie takes my hand, smiles reassuringly at me and we were falling after her. Then Steve let go as well and fell while screaming.

We fall through the portal, exit in the sky again and are now falling very fast towards the ground.

Douxie makes a spell that repeatedly caught us and let us fall again, slowing our fall.

We all land with a grunt but are at least not hurt.

Steve panics, screaming how he was blind, but realizes he isn't after removing the helmet.

I wince as Jim falls on top of him.

„What just happened?" Steve asks while groaning in pain.

„Well, I just conjured an anti-gravity spell to slow our fall and keep us from dying." Douxie explains „you're welcome." he gets up into a sitting position and I lean my head on his shoulder.

I squeeze his hand comfortingly and kiss his cheek „good job Douxie."

„Thank you." Douxie turns his head towards me and gives me a quick kiss on the lips.

„Douxie, where is the flying castle?" Claire asks him.

We all look up into to the sky and there was no Camelot in sight.

„Oh, fuzz buckets!" Douxie and I exclaim at the same time.

„Well, it would appear we've had ourselves a temporal accident." Douxie says.

„Which means?" Claire asks and Steve whimpers at the same time while pointing at something.

A sword was suddenly pointed at Douxie.

A knight sat on a horse in front of him and other knights encircled us, pointing their swords at us.

We gasp and look around panicked.

Steve screams.

„It means we are lost in time." Douxie answers Claire's question.

The knight pointing his sword at my husband spoke.

„What manner of sorcery is this?"

„Oh- oh my..." Steve stammers and lets out a high-pitched scream again.
