He was in a foul mood; he couldn't get back to sleep again after that disturbing dream he had early this morning. Making his way to the kitchen, the rest of the knights were already there.
"What's with the glum look? Didn't you get any kills last night." Bors asked.
Tristan took a seat with a glare while the other knights laughed.
"Apparently, not." Bors laughed. They all knew the scout loved a good kill.
"Merlin has been quiet of late; it's making me uneasy, what the hell is he up to the sneaky bastard," Galahad said.
"ha-ha, it can stay like that for all I care. I want to live to see my end of service to Rome," replied Gawain.
Tristan decided to go seek Arthur out after breakfast, instead of waiting to be requested. As he got up from the table, he gives a last look to the rest of his brothers who started to chat among themselves and made his way to the fort.
Arthur was going over some documents in his chambers when he heard a knock on his door.
"Enter..." Arthur commanded.
Arthur looked up as his trusted scout entered.
"Tristan, have you had any more thoughts on what you saw last night?"
"No." Shaking his head, feeling a bit ashamed for not finding anything.
"We need to figure out whatever is out there if it is more powerful than Merlin as you think," said Arthur, giving a pause.
"I would like you to double up your scouting starting from tomorrow; I want to get as much information as you can find"
"I know this is too much to ask of you, Tristan. I don't want any surprises if they do decide to act. We've lost too many men already." Arthur continued.
Arthur is holding on to some documents, sighed.
"Especially since we'll be having a visit from Rome soon, wanting to know about the ongoing battle with the Woads," Arthur said, looking down.
Tristan was about to respond until Lancelot bursts through the door to see Arthur. He is looking at Tristan with curiosity wondering what mission Arthur has given him, Lancelot looked back at his friend seeing his head down with papers in his hand.
Arthur looks up and notices his best friend and smiles. He gives Tristan a nod of dismissal.
Tristan left his Commander and Lancelot to their will; he decided to meet up with the rest of his brothers.
"What was that about?" Asked Lancelot curiously.
Arthur shook his head with a smirk.
"You do know curiosity killed the cat, Lancelot."
"You sure it wasn't Tristan?" Lancelot retorts back with amusement.
Arthur slaps Lancelot on the back with laughter, as they both made their way to the training grounds where the rest of the knights are.
"Oh look who decided to join us with their presence," Gawain shouted.
"Are you that eager to get beaten Gawain," said Lancelot with an amused face.
A good few hours have passed since training, and the knights were at the tavern drinking heavily, apart from Tristan who was in the stables getting ready for his nightly patrol.
Coming out of his deep thoughts, Merlin looked up to the night sky from the blazing fire he was staring at intensely, sighed. He knows there is someone out there; he can feel the familiar feeling of being connected to them, something tremendous, powerful magic, and ancient. A worried look crossed his face; he needs to know if they are friend or foe; if the woads are going to drive back the Romans from this land, they don't need a surprise. Maybe, whoever they are can aid Arthur to see his destiny and help him unite men. Yes. He would need to come up with a plan, and he hopes he doesn't lose many men if they are indeed a foe. Deciding that this night was the night he would try to seek whoever roams these woods, and hopefully, they would show themselves — walking through the trees on a cold, gloomy night, with the moonlight barely shining through the leaves. The woods were dull with no sign of the fading light around anywhere, suddenly a noise to the right startled him, moving deeper into the woods and hiding behind a tree. A rider comes into view and slowly comes to a halt, he sits very still with his head bowed, listening to his surroundings and then begins to look around for his prey. Merlin still hiding behind the tree looks round to see the scout of Arthur's sliding off his horse with his hand on the hilt of his weapon ready to reveal if attacked.
Merlin wondered if the scout was looking for the same thing he was that night or just his usual scouting. However, something tells him he was looking for the light himself, deciding to follow the scout from far behind, hoping the scout would not hear him. The scout was going deeper into the woods; furthest, he has scouted before.
Tristan knows he's being followed, by who he does not know. Hoping to lose them and get the upper hand, he started to go deeper finding the darkest part of the woods; he saw a few thick-trunked trees clumped together and decided to take cover behind them and prepared himself to ambush whoever they were. He waited for them to pass him to show himself, drawing his bow and moving out he pointed it at them from behind.
Merlin thought he had lost the scout within the dark woods until he heard a familiar sound of a drawing bow. Turning around facing the scout and looked at the bow pointing at him.
"You are good; I thought I lost you," Merlin said.
"Give me a good reason I shouldn't end you," Tristan snarled.
"Maybe we're looking for the same thing," Merlin said.
"The light that fades is powerful" he stated.
"That's not a good reason," Tristan growled back, ready to release his arrow.
Tension grew as scattered leaves rise in the air whirling pass them as if blown by an invisible wind. Both of them look around for any hidden threats, the light they have searched for dances through the trees towards them, a haunting song reaching their ears, they both freeze.
Oh-o freedom.
Oh-o freedom
oh freedom nia nin,
(nia nin.)
a before im n- a múl
im'll n- buried in mui haudh.
A glenn- bar na mui hir a n- lain.
(a n- lain.)
Soon the light was upon them, blinding both. Both men tried to cover their own eyes with their arm without any luck. Soon an ethereal figure appeared in the light, their white garment softly glowing against the green and midnight blue of the woods. The men stared in awe at the figure, never seen anything like this before, both tried not to make a sudden movement, not wanting the feel of the warm, soothing light to leave.
Tristan couldn't see their face; though the figure reminds him of an angel that Arthur once explained. Extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world; heavenly or supernatural.
"It seems they do not wish for us to fight," Merlin said.
"Peace upon us this night" stated Merlin, turning around leaving the scout behind.
Tristan watched as Merlin walked away, feeling powerless to stop him. He turned back towards the figure, only to realise that the light was fading and he was alone in the woods.
Elvish
Oh-o freedom.
Oh-o freedom
oh freedom nia nin,
(nia nin.)

A glenn- bar na mui hir a n- lain.
(a n- lain.)
Translated.
Oh-o freedom.
Oh-o freedom
Oh freedom over me,
(Over me.)
And before I be a slave
I'll be buried in my grave.
And go home to my Lord and be free.
(and be free.)
