Disappointment

"Come out!"

Merlin looked calm, but his sights were set on a rock some distance away, at the beach. He had already realized that there were people hiding behind the rock.

The Spell Casters hiding behind the rock looked at each other. Their faces displayed helplessness, but that turned into calm expressions soon after. The male Spell Caster muttered under his breath, "Let's go. We've already been spotted, there's no point in hiding anymore."

The female Spell Caster took in a deep breath and gave a slight nod. Together, the two of them walked out from behind the rock.

"My fellow Spell Caster, we were imminent prey to the Two-headed Infant earlier but thankfully, you've chased it away. If it weren't for your timely rescue, our fates would've been sealed."
