Mysterious Court Physician Merlin (13)

"Here" Rachel said putting a vial on Uther's desk, along with some papers that had the King's Seal and her research notes.

"This is" Uther said confused and took the most eye-catching one, the one with the King's seal on it.

"I am sure, you and your brother have always been curious about the deal between me and the former King."

"Merlin" Uther trailed off after reading the contents.

"My Research and all the data I have, Copies of everything have been handed to the Medical Academy for them to analyze. The deal between me and the former King was for twenty years of service. In exchange I would have access to any and all research material as well an area to conduct tat research. I Have left my lab untouched and I won't take much with me."

"….." Uther was quiet and not sure what to say.

"Its time Uther, I have been in Camelot for far to long. It's time to go."

"I…..I" Uther then nodded his head, he looked as if he wanted to say a few things to make her stay. However, in the end couldn't. By the time Rachel had left it was abrupt and quick, she never said goodbye.

The forest was large, radiant, and budding. Its canopy was monopolized by ash, fir, and spruce, and abundant dancing lights bounced through their crowns for a mishmash of sprouts to spread in the fertile soils below.

Thin vines dangled from most trees, and a variety of flowers, which grew all over the place, added colorful, scented elements to the otherwise jade forest floor. A variety of wild noises, which were caused by insects, echoed in the air, and were in harmony with the occasional sounds of birds of prey gliding in the air.

Such was the forest of the village she first appeared in, Rachel was led deep into the forest by the Fae people. All the way to the mountain deep into the cave, where a giant crater exist within and a temple in the center sitting peacefully in the middle.

Rachel looked at the Dark crimson eyes sit tightly within the creature's horned, long skull, which gives the creature a rather gentle looking appearance. Several small horns sit atop its head, just above its narrow, angular ears. Several rows of small crystal growths runs down the sides of each of its jaw lines.

Its nose is long and has two thick, slitted nostrils and there are small crystal growths on its chin. Several rows of large teeth poke out from the side of its mouth and reveal only a fraction of the terror hiding inside.

A wide neck runs down from its head and into a narrow body. The top is covered in massive scales and rows of spikes runs down its spine.Its bottom is covered in small scales and is colored slightly darker than the rest of its body. Four massive limbs carry its body and allow the creature to stand poised and mighty. Each limb has 4 digits, each of which end in pointy claws seemingly made of onyx.

Slender wings grow starting from just above its shoulders and end at its hips. The wings are rounded, the inner sides of the wing are full of minor holes and sharp hooks grow from the endings of each bone.

Its wide tail ends in a single tendril and is covered in the same massive scales as its body.

"Ruldrys" Rachel said lightly, the large dragon.

"Ah, Merlin" It laughed. "What brings you here?"

"I need to sleep"

"..."

"I am going to sleep here. Do you have a bed?"

"...." The dragon said nothing as it stared at Rachel. "Inside to your right, and down the hall. There is a bedroom."

"Thank-you" Rachel said, in the past Herold had stolen some herd from his cave and was about to tear into the village when Rachel abruptly kicked his Dragon-a***, and they have been good friends ever since.

Rachel wakes back up in her space, to see a spaced out Miyu. When she turned to Rachel and saw her Miyu decided to lay down next to her.

"Are okay"

"Yeah, I'm fine"

"You don't look fine"

"I know, I'm fine but my spirit is hurt. I need a break, Now, where do you want to go next."

"...." Miyu looked at Rachel for a long time, before her hand travel to her ring again and she fiddled it.

Rachel then held her. "Elfin, is it possible for you to keep tabs on that man's soul trances for her."

[Yes, I have kept trances on him]

"Would you please then."

[Of Course]

Miyu had then disappeared not to long after.

"Elfin, I'll be going to."

[Your going to return, right.]

"Yes, Merlin is still an essential character. But, I'm am not going to be needed for a while."

[Alright, well, I do have a world for you]

"Good, I need a break." Rachel's gaze suddenly sharpened for a moment. "It seems I must take care of a few things first.
