Ealdor was preparing for battle. Ealdor would arm themselves with what little they had for war. Fighting against Kanen for their lives. Merlin had gone to aid his mother with the help of Arthur, Gwen and Morgana - now he found himself questioning his own conscience as to whether they could pull this off and fight. He knew the people in the village were strong, Will was one of the strongest he knew as well as his mother, but Merlin also knew that the last resort would be to take subtle measures to ensure that everyone was safe against Kanen, and that the battle was won.
Will had already turned his back on him, refusing to fight and wanting to give Kanen and his raiders what they wanted. Part of Merlin wanted to take his friend's side, but the other knew that he should and would follow Arthur's word. If they did not defend themselves, Ealdor would be at regular mercy to Kanen.
After yet another disagreement with Will, as to why he wouldn't be resorting to using sorcery, Merlin found himself a quiet spot in the woods surrounding the village, where he could sit and think. Boy did he need it! Everyone else was off preparing for the events of what was to come the next morning so he wouldn't be distrubed. Shifting himself back against a tree trunk he looked to the village. It was quiet from here, no voices or the clashing of makeshift weapons that were being practised with. Just the breeze and the sounds of the trees.
He hoped that they would win tomorrow, and Merlin was prepared to go down fighting for his mother and friends, no matter what the cost.
