Once everyone was through the portal Merlin stepped through it as well, turning around her closed up the portal before turning around and waved his hands slightly as a bag appeared before the group. Inside of the bag were some clothes that looked like they were from the medieval times. "I would suggest that you all get a change of clothes, we all need to blend in." Merlin said as Sierra turned to look at Willow and gave her a friendly smile. Sierra walked over towards the bag of clothes and looked at them, finding a dress of some sort that was actually in her size. "Alright then." Sierra said softly she didnt like the idea of changing in front of everyone as she looked around and found a nearby tree a little bit of a ways away and started to get changed.

Layla looked towards the others and gave a slight wave as she turned and looked over at the sack of clothes, then over towards her sister, she gave her a slight shrug. Blending in would make some sense, their clothes werent really normal looking for this time period anyway. "I'll be back sis." Layla said as she turned and found a nearby bush and hid behind it after she grabbed her clothes and got changed rather quickly.

Merlin looked towards Cassiopeia asking where they would be traveling to Camelot, they werent going to the city not yet anyway. "We are going to my tower, the city is currently being ruled by Morgan Le Fay King Arthur is not in Camelot currently, my tower will be a safe place for now." Merlin said as he waited for everyone else to get changed and ready to go.

Rose nodded as each person introduced themselves. It wasn't everyone, but she had a better idea of who she was dealing with. And not everyone said who their parents were. That was interesting. She found another thing interesting that the parents were a wide range of fairy tales from old ones to more modern and some were barely tales. Like Goldielocks and her own mother. Heck her mom didn't even have a proper name from the original fairy tale.

She grabbed some clothing that looked like her style and of course something red. She found a tunic that was red. The rest was generic medieval-style clothing, which thankfully she didn't mind. Her leather jacket she folded up and put in her backpack. There was no way she was losing that. When she came back from behind her own bush she asked Merlin, "Is there a way to disguise my backpack. It has a bunch of my stuff in it and I don't want to lose it."

Colby picked out some clothes. He didn't really care what he wore, but he aimed for something cohesive in appearance. Muted colors that could blend into a crowd or a forest. He was decent at stealth so he wanted to make sure he didn't stand out still. He was not losing his underwater though. So when he changed he kept his boxers on. There was no way he was gonna go commando in scratchy medieval-style.

When Colby came back out from behind the bush he was holding back a laugh. One of the guys in the group had the same name as his cat. He considered making a joke about it, but in the end, decided against it. He figured it might be funnier in the future. Colby looked at Merlin and waited for him to answer Rose's question before asking his own questions. "If King Arthur isn't in town where is he? Are we going to be meeting up with him? Or for that matter any of our parents? Do they know we are coming back? Are they all alive?"

Megan raised a bit of an eyebrow, hearing the pride in someone's voice as they claimed Robin Hood as their parent. It felt incredibly weird to her. They hadn't done anything to "win" or "lose" at. They didn't know their parents. The connection they had to them was essentially purely genetics and as an educated professional, Megan knew that skills couldn't be inherited. There was no reason as far as she was concerned to be proud of who one's parent turned out to be in this scenario. Why define oneself based on someone you had never met? Why not have pride based on your own strengths?

And then someone else was apparently not impressed with the woods they had been transported to? Megan was having less and less patience with these people. They had fought against Maleficent and teleported to a world that they had no idea existed when the day had begun. And that wasn't enough? They wanted more? She shook her head slightly, wondering if the most intelligent person among them was her brother - a truly scary thought. "Not really... I've always wondered about my parents, but it'll mostly just be nice to know my family medical history. I'd like to be prepared if we have a history of schizophrenia. I think I'd be a good madwoman regardless, however... But as much as I am curious about them, they ultimately don't mean much. I'm glad that I exist, but they're strangers. My real family's right here, annoyingly without any idea on how to use a gun."

She picked through the bag of clothing, pulling out a silver tunic and some trousers, as well as a sturdy pair of boots. She wasn't really into wearing dresses - besides, dresses weren't practical anyways. She found a tree that no one had claimed and she changed behind it, leaving her hair down.

Cassiopeia looked down at the bag of clothes that was tossed and dug in there with her sister while Merlin revealed they were going to his tower and not into the town of Camelot. Cassiopeia glanced at Merlin and shook her head. She wasn’t the daughter of Repunzel, so perhaps the tower would be fine. She would save her questions for what they would do there after.
Cassiopeia pulled out light brown pants, with riding boots by the looks of them and a white shirt paired with an animal hide corset looking thing. She grabbed a hooded tunic as well to help her keep warm. Basically, she looked like the female Robin Hood and Cassiopeia kind of loved that. She went and quickly changed, slinging her quiver of arrows across her back and her bow over her shoulder before she walked back out and entertained her cats in the carrier.

---

---

Willow searched through the clothes as well, finding a dress that she liked. It was rather modern but she paired it with a belt and the key from her mother, making it fit her style a bit more. She left her hair pinned back so it was out of her face and looked over to Rose. ”Oh, yes. I would like to keep the stuff in my bag as well. Do you have spare ones or a charm that would work to disguise them,” she asked as well.
Changing into the new wardrobe seemed to help Willow settle in a bit more but she was still a little wary of her surroundings. Willow much preferred the comforts of modern living and indoor living. Suddenly she wondered how she was going to survive here in the first place. It wasn’t like they had indoor plumbing or indoor anything here.

Matthew made his way towards the bag, looking for an outfit that would both fit him and possibly provide some form or protection. He found a pair of dark brown pants, a dark blue shirt and coat that wrapped around his chest but opened up around his legs. There were leather bracers, a kidney belt, a leather gorget, and boots. He grabbed his pile of clothing, instinctively walking towards Colby and a familiar face without thought. As he turned the corner to hide behind a tree he caught sight of Colby in his boxers and quickly moved away where his friend would be out of sight. His face was flushed red and his mind racing as he just repeatedly told himself how stupid he was for forgetting that he was also changing. What he didn't wear boxers? Or saw fit to use this opportunity to try going commando? It could've been worse.

Matthew worked at clearing his mind as he carefully undid his clothes the same way he did in gym class. Holding the pair of pants over the ones he removed so that he could quickly replace them. His new shirt was placed over the old one, pulling his arms into the shirt and undoing it from the inside before finally sticking his arms out and pulling it out from the neck hole. The rest was relatively easy to do until he reached the bracers, timidly walking towards Colby and holding his wrists out for him. "C-c-Could you tighten these for me please?" He didnt meet eyes with him, looking away. "Well...I've actually thought about what I've been wanting to say to them for my whole life now...there's isn't a lot to do when you're never adopted out of the orphanage but to dream so..."

"Seeing you going crazy honestly would not be a fun thing from my perspective," he said towards his sister with a small laugh, before he listened to the rest of what she said, and he gave her a bit of a smile. "You just had to take a jab at me about not knowing how to use a gun again didn't you? You are so nice to me Meg," Jack added, shaking his head slightly, before turning his attention towards Merlin as he mentioned that King Arthur wasn't in Camelot, and that they needed to change clothes in order to blend in with everyone else in this weird world. That did make sense, since after all, they kind of stuck off like a sore thumb.

Rosalia still wasn't all too sure about this entire situation, given they were in a strange world, with a bunch of strangers, and apparently an evil person is the one who ruled the kingdom that they were currently in. That certainly boded well for the group considering what had happened with Maleficent not too long ago. Nothing was going to be easy, that was for certain, and knowing their luck so far it was going to be deadly. That is not going to help out there situation, and she remained fairly quiet when Merlin explained about changing their clothes to blend in and she just shrugged. That was one of the many rules of being a thief, blending in and not standing out.

Walking over to the bag, Jack started looking through the bag in an attempt to try and find something that made sense to wear. Of course, he didn't really care much for the clothing selection but grabbed a few that were in fairly dark colors and called it good, moving away from the group and going behind a tree and changing his clothes rather quickly. Eventually, he moved back to where the others were once he was dressed, and he just sort of glanced around the area, waiting for Merlin to either lead the way or open a portal to his tower.

She wasn't going to be caught dead in a dress, that was Rosalia's one thing, she hated them and found them dumb and impractical. Who the hell would wear a dress when they could end up having to start fighting again at a moments notice? She certainly wasn't, so she found a simple tunic of sorts in almost like a dark blue color and some boots and pulled it out of the bag, going over to be behind a tree a ways away from everyone else and changed her clothes quickly, before going over back to where everyone else was, still carrying her own bag of sorts with her. "Disguising bags might be a good idea... And can we get going already, not too keen to be sitting around in a forest where someone could pop up easily who want to kill us..."

Sierra found herself a simple white tunic with an animal hide corset which she adjusted slightly to get used to and a grey pair of pants and boots as well. She didnt mind dresses, she just didnt think that they were practical at the moment as she watched everyone else as they finished getting changed. Sierra was about to ask the same question turning her attention towards Merlin as Colby asked more questions, she did want to meet her parents but she knew that they were somewhere else. "Like I said, your parents are all still alive, that is why we are going to my tower to make contact there. All of them are somewhere else, I was hoping to leave later rather than sooner and get the information then. But those plans were completely changed." Merlin said Sierra nodded slightly she could understand, she didnt really have the chance to make any final changes.

Layla managed to find herself a grey looking tunic as well as a grey hooded cloak as well, and a leather belt as she started to hook her weapons on there, looking over at her sister and smirked slightly towards her. "You look good sis." She said as she listened to Merlin as he spoke and looked at everyone else. "Lets get going." Layla was a little bit more than ready to get going and find out more right now and see what her parents actually looked like.

"You should learn how to pick up a crossbow they are the closest thing to a gun here right now." Isabella said sarcastically towards Jack, she luckily still had her handgun on her, she wasnt going to part without it at all. Luckily it was small enough to be concealed under a cloak that she managed to find after she had gotten changed. Taylor reached out to gently pet Lucky who stuck his head out again and started to lick Rosalia's arm some and barked at her.

Merlin nodded towards everyone as he snapped his fingers, as the animal crates that the cats were in were more like wicker baskets big enough to contain them. And Rose' pack was turned into a more period looking pack as well, looking at everyone who was there once more. "Make sure that no one else sees the contents within them." Merlin instructed them and started to wave his hand to motion everyone to folow him, a few seconds later they were now on the main road.

---

---

---

---

"Thank you, Merlin." Rose said when her bag transformed. She wondered if it was a permeate change or if it would wear off. She nodded to his edict to not let anyone see the contents. She made sure the electronics like her phone were tucked deeper and under the jacket. It might not period-appropriate but at least it was leather.

She followed Merlin onto the main road. Rose snickered to herself and leaned over to whisper at Cass, "I wonder if this is the path my mom famously wondered off of." She wondered how much of her mom's story was true, how much had been changed around for modern audiences. Rose looked at the back of Merlin's head wondering how much he was winging it. One thing she had learned as she had gotten older was how little adults had it actually figured out. There was so much going through her head, but she was happy and excited. She wanted to share the truth with the Buckners but she didn't know when she would get the chance to do that. If ever.

---

---

---

Colby gently tightened the bracers for Matthew. "You don't have to be afraid of me you know." He said quietly to Matthew not wanting the others in the group to hear him. When he finished fixing the bracers up for Matthew he pet Carroll under the chin. Both cats were perched on their respective owner's shoulders. Colby then smiled at Matthew and turned to Merlin. He had answered the groups questions and was no leading them onto the main road.

It felt better being on the main road than in the middle of the woods. Colby adjusted the sword he had picked up on his hip. He looked back at the road behind them. Colby wondered where the road was coming from. He felt like Merlin had a lot of plans but wasn't really telling the group what any of those plans were. That worried him. He wasn't naturally a trusting person and Merlin was being vague. Colby hated that.

---

---

Cassiopeia did a little turn for her sister so she could see the whole outfit and grinned at her. "Very Robin Hood hey?” She looked at Merlin as he explained that they would contact their parents once they were at his tower. Well, that answered that question. Merlin performed a quick spot of magic and she watched as Artemis’s cat carrier was changed to a wicker looking basket and she chuckled a little as he protested before sneezing. ”Seems Arty is allergic to magic,” she joked.
Cassiopeia gathered the cat up before following the group led by Merlin down the path. She smiled over at Rose, pleased to see the girl chose to walk beside her. Cassiopeia laughed a little and shrugged. ”It may be possible. I wonder how much of the stories we grew up with are actually real. Grimms brothers and all.”
Cassiopeia looked around at their surroundings as they walked. It looked like a normal wood to her, with familiar looking trees and landscaping, even though they were in a completely different world. Ahead of them, Cassiopeia spotted a carriage but from the looks of it, it was travelling away from them. ”Is this the main road?” She looked at Merlin, wondering if they should be travelling on a main road; especially, with a group as large and new as theirs.

---

---

The bags the others carried transformed, including pet carriers and Willow smiled in amazement at such a simple thing. She pulled on her backpack and caught up to walk beside Merlin. ”Do we all possess magic? Or are certain people gifted?” It was like that in the movies and stories but Willow hardly believed any of this would be real, so who really knew what the rules were like.
Willow felt a bit more comfortable walking in an unknown wood being beside Merlin and asking questions. When her mind was active, taking in new information and translating it, she felt more in control of her emotions. Of course she understood this to be a coping mechanism but in the unusual situation she was in, she was okay with using a crutch.

---

---

"You look like Edward from Twilight," Megan teased her brother. His dark colors really did remind her of the color scheme for the vampire focused movie and book series. Had her brother been a bit paler, he probably would have been easily mistaken for a vampire. She tilted her head slightly, trying to recall if vampires had ever shown up in fairy tales. A lot of fairy tales were much tamer in the modern versions than their historical ones. She couldn't help but secretly hope they'd run into one - and a werewolf as well. A ghost would be spectacular too. If anything, she wanted horror stories to be reality over fairy tales. "Also, of course I had to jab at you over your lack of knowledge when it comes to guns. It's my solemn duty."

She listened intently to what Merlin had to say. While they were going to his tower, their parents were not there. She felt a twinge of disappointment, despite what she had said about her birth parents meaning nothing to her. She had no idea how far they were from Merlin's tower, though she felt a bit of pride seeing she had been right about there being a road nearby. She glanced around, taking in the scenery. Life was weird - and wonderful.

---

---

It wasn't like he was scared of him or anything. He just...he didn't want him to think he was trying to peep at him as they changed. Thats all. Not like Matthew had the gal to do so. The boy barely had the stomach to speak his mind let alone act on it. But recent events had shone some light in his dark tunnel and revealed new paths for him to approach and try. "I'm not afraid. I was just averting my gaze incase you were indecent. Thats all" Matthew turned to face his friend, seeing his warm smile and bringing forth his own. Why was he so cute? It didnt matter, what mattered right now was the here and now. He rubbed his wrists where the leather thongs met. "Thank you."

Matthew rejoined the group, careful not to sprint to fast so that Carroll would stay perched up on his shoulder without the need for claws. He stopped next to Willow, curious as to her question and now walking in step with her. "I second thar question. Magic might be a useful skill to have when the villains have it as well." He held out his right hand across his body for Willow to shake. "M-matthew Madigan, but you can call me Maddie or Mads for sh-short. Mind if I ask who your p-parent is?" Perhaps having a magical parent would make them more inclined to magic? Or at the very least make it easier to weild. "Anyone e-ever tell you you look like the Blue Fairy?"

"A crossbow is overrated, ranged weaponry in fighting is overrated, so not happening at all," Jack said to Isabella, not too sure what else to say about it. He really wasn't typically the type of person to just pick up a weapon and use it, he'd rather see about talking his way out of a situation as opposed to fighting. "Compare me to that sparkly vampire again Meg and we are going to have some serious issues. That book series is horrid and I wonder how the hell people can stand it," he responded to her with a bit of an eye roll.

Rosalia smiled at the dog in her bag as he started licking her arms. "Well you seem awake now you little cutie, guess we're going on a bit of an adventure now aren't we? We are certainly a long way from home now... So let's make the most of it," she said softly to the puppy, giving the little dog a few pats on the head before she turned her attention towards Merlin who was once again making comments about how they would meet their parents or whatever later and that they were mainly going to go try and contact them or whatever again. This was definitely going to be fun.

"You really need to be nicer to me Meg you are so rude sometimes!" he teased her with a bit of a laugh as Merlin spoke about trying to get in contact with their parents. Considering who he found out his father was, he doubted his family would be involved in this at all. Also he was super glad that no one had pressed any issues and started asking everyone else who their fairy tale or legendary parent was. Since he wasn't too sure how many other people in the group would have a villain as a parent, he was pretty sure he was an outlier with that one.

"So... We are going to a tower that belongs to a wizard in a land where people might try to constantly kill us in order to meet our parents, who we haven't heard anything from since we got left in a strange world, sounds like a load of fun don't you think?" she commented to Taylor with a bit of a shrug as she started walking along with everyone else towards wherever the hell they were going. Rosalia wasn't too sure what to think about this entire situation still, but maybe things would make way more sense soon.

"Some of you may have magical abilities, it would depend on some of your parents however and sometimes it is dormant as well." Merlin answered Willow as she came over and walked along side him as well as Mathew as they continued to walk down along the main road. "This is the main road, that will take you to Camelot proper if you continue to follow the road, then there is a path that will lead towards my tower." Merlin told Cass, looking over his shoulder towards the others as they started to mingle amongst themselves.

"Well what if you had stretchy powers like Mr. Fantastic or Ms. Marvel, you still get to use your fist but you get ranged attacks to. Also maybe there is a spell around here or something and you can really sparkle to." Isabella said teasingly towards Jack as she looked around so far there wasnt any kind of threat at the moment either which was a good thing as well.

"You look so much like Robin Hood now sis." Layla said jokingly towards her sister, as she eyed her and Rose for a moment as the two of them walked together, she remained quiet for the most part and continued to walking along mostly staying close by Cass and Rose as well. She took out one of the throwing axes that she snagged and casually started to toss it into the air and caught it by the handle some and did it a couple of times.

"Oh yeah that sounds like loads of fun." Taylor said sarcastically and laughed slightly as she continued to walk and ocasionally letting Lucky lick and nibble at her hand slightly, as if there wasnt a care in the world either. Then everyone would start to hear a lot of footsteps coming from behind them, like there was some kind of massive army approaching. Merlin quickly waved everyone to get off of the road. "Everyone get off of the road now." Merlin told them, Sierra didnt waste anytime really either as she made her way into the thick brush nearby.

"Poor Arty. I guess you can be allergic to magic. I remember reading a book a while back that was part of the premise for actually. I don't remember the name of the book. And now I don't have google to help me remember." Rose joked. She doubted she would have any magic powers. The stories she knew of Red Riding Hood had never included them. In fact, the stories usually involved her being eaten by a wolf and then being saved. That was a little sad for Rose. She was an independent person and didn't like the idea that she'd have to rely on someone to save her.

She did have a memory of when she was little being protected by a wolf, which seemed odd with the new information. Rose looked at the tattoo on her arm that she had gotten two summers ago. That had a very different meaning now. Maybe it would be strength against adversity or something. She lifted her head as they heard the thunderous marching coming up behind them.

Rose moved far enough into the woods that she should not be spotted from the road, but close enough that if she had to she could shoot an arrow into the army. She knelt down and pulled an arrow out, notching it on the string, but not drawing.

---

---

---

"I meant you don't have to be afraid to ask me for help." Colby explained to Matthew. He looked down the road as Merlin explained. Then ducked back into the woods when they heard the approaching army. They hadn't been on the road that long, not to mention in the world, so whoever was approaching probably had no idea they were there, which meant they were going somewhere for another reason.

Colby found a good spot in a bush that had enough foliage to hide in while giving him a decent view of the road. He wanted to get a good look at what sort of armies this world had. Colby probably had a better grasp of military tactics just by being a bit of a trivia fan, than any army. He might be able to figure out a way to beat them if he saw how they marched and what sort of armor and other gear they had. At least he hoped he would be able to. He had never put it into practice.

He wondered if he had any powers while it was being discussed. At least he wasn't alone in wondering that. Considering his ancestor was a cat known for turning invisible Colby wondered if he would be able to turn invisible too. That would be cool. It would be cooler if he could also shapeshift into a cat.

---

---

Cassiopeia listened to Merlin as he explained the road and where it would lead them. She was a bit nervous being on the main road still. She was used to bush, side trails and trails worn into the ground over the years by animals. Anyone could travel on the road and coming in contact with anyone right now might not be the greatest idea; especially, when they were all new to this.
Cassiopeia turned back around when she heard the pounding of footsteps. She grabbed her twin sister's hand before Merlin said to get off the road and was already hauling her into the bush, right on the heels of Rose. She let go of her sister and quickly notched an arrow into her bow and hid behind a tree, using it as a stabilizer and took aim at the road, ready should she need to be.

---

---

A boy, with a curly head of hair and shy demeanor approached Willow and Merlin. She glanced over at him when he mentioned wanting to know if they had magic abilities too. She smiled and shook his hand when offered. He definitely seemed shy and had a bit of a stutter so there was something else going on. Willow racked her brain on what stuttering meant in the psychology world when he introduced himself. ”Maddie? I like that. I’m Willow Jones, or well I guess Figlia di Aurora. My mother is Sleeping Beauty.” She wasn’t one hundred percent on the pronunciation of her last name but hopefully her mother would teach her Italian. ”The blue fairy? Like the one from Sleeping Beauty?” she asked, unsure if there was another blue fairy.
Merlin confirmed that they could have magic and the idea of potentially having magic was exciting to Willow. What would she be able to do, she wondered. Create life, talk to animals? Of course in the stories, she wasn’t aware of her mother or father having magic but they were surrounded by fairies and magic spelled her mother, so there was a potential of having it dormant inside her, she thought.
Willow was startled by the sound of heaving feet and Merlin’s request to get off the road. ”Come Maddie!” Willow picked up her skirts and ran into the ditch efficiently. If there was one thing she knew how to do, it was run in a dress. Willow sat down, trying to stay as low as possible as the blood pounded in her ears from a sudden adrenaline spike. She hoped they got off the road in time before they were seen.

---

---

---

---

Maddie looked at the blonde haired girl inquisitively. His eyes blinking once, twice, as he listened to what it was she had to say. Sleeping Beauty? That certainly vit the visual build as well. It also sprung from a similar source, Italian. "Oh. S-sorry, I'd meant The Blue Fairy. The one used to bring Pinocchio to life. Y-you bear a striking r-r-resemblance to her...or at least her Disney interpretation." His mind began to wander for a moment on thoughta of Sleeping Beauty. Thinking back to Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather; having always liked Merrywearher the best. His thoughts danced from the fairies to other tales of fae folk who were said to snatch up children that misbehaved, or spoke out of turn. Tales he grew up hearing from the orphanage that seemed tall tales to keep him in line but now could be all too real.

His attention snapped back like a taut rubber band. The sounds of footsteps behind them as he saw everyone moving off the road. He quickly followed suit, taking to the nearest tree he could find. His back was pressed against the bark, crouched down as he listened intently to the matching sound of soldiers. Were they a threat? Pawns of Maleficent? Or were they merely meant to get off the road so that they could pass unhindered much like one does with an emergency vehicle? Regardless of the matter, he remained vigilant on high alert incase something went awry.

Megan smirked gleefully, seeing that she had hit a nerve with her brother. Unlike siblings in the media, Megan and Jack actually acted like they were brother and sister. "You sound like Edward Cullen now too. And is that a sparkle I see on your chin?" she teased, raising an eyebrow. "But of course, I don't need to tell you these things, as you can clearly read my mind and know what I'm thinking." She wondered briefly whether mind reading was actually within the realm of possibility. It certainly seemed a lot easier than dimensional travel, which she was pretty certain was an apt descriptor for what they had just done. "And for the record, I'm the nicest person I know."

She smirked a bit more, hoping her brother would catch on and get the subtle implication that she held herself as being a nicer person than him. Of course, most of the other people Megan knew were corpses, so Jack was most likely the second nicest person she knew. Isabella ranked below the late Mrs. Jameson - the woman had been horrid in life and in death, her corpse had unleashed one of the foulest smelling odors Megan had ever smelled.

She turned back towards the sound of the noise, frowning slightly. It was either a stampede or a flash mob, although she doubted both options. Merlin seemed a bit frightened and she dragged Jack down into the bushes as well. "Keep your head down, your neck is like a giraffe," she whispered to him.

---

---

Jack couldn't help but laugh slightly at Isabella's comments towards him. "I mean, not going to lie, that would be kind of cool to have abilities like that where you can stretch out and just punch people without being right next to them. Though I will say doubt I'd be the type of comic character like Mister Fantastic, nope I'd probably be more of a laid back type of person, less like Marvel characters and probably a little more towards some of the DC characters. The Elongated Man instantly comes to mind, probably would be more like him then a Mister Fantastic type definitely," he said with a bit of a shrug before looking over at Megan, "Yeah no, I am most definitely not like the sparkly vampire!"

She glanced over at Taylor, petting the puppy gently as her mind thought about what to exactly say about everything, "Oh totally, we're in a weird world that apparently we are all from and were all born in, apparently because of my mom I'm technically royalty but I don't really care much about that since I was stuck on the streets most of my life, but no matter, let's see what insanity awaits us," she mused as she walked along after the others, still petting the puppy in her bag.

He hardly had any time to register what Merlin had said about everyone needing to get off the road, before Megan had grabbed him by the arm and dragged him off the road and into some brush nearby. "Next time a little bit of warning would be nice Meg," he whispered to her once they were settled in their hiding spot. "Also so nice to me about everything, I know better then to clearly stick my head out where everyone can see me, I am not that stupid," he added, still making sure to keep his voice down as he glanced towards the road (still keeping his head down somewhat) hoping to catch a glimpse of who was coming after them.

Rosalia hadn't really been paying all too much attention to what everyone else was saying, since they all were a bunch of weirdos in her opinion, and Merlin was the strangest one of all. However she instantly snapped to attention when she heard Merlin's words about getting off of the road quickly. She didn't have to be told twice as she was careful with her bag in order not to jostle Lucky too much, and she headed straight for the bushes nearby, ducking down as she did so and petting the puppy still in hopes to keep him somewhat quiet.

Sierra quickly got off of the road as well, following shortly behind Willow and stuck as close to her as she possibly could, while trying to get a better look at what was coming down from the road. Tinker bell and Taylor quickly got into the brush as well, things started to become a little bit louder now as well. Until the army was right on top of them, they could hear the sound of armor clanging together as the soldiers walked down the road. There was also a group of archers as well as some people wearing robes as well, Layla looked at her sister for a moment giving her a little bit of an annoyed look after being dragged off.

It took about ten minutes until the sounds of the army finally faded, Sierra looked down the road somewhat and watched as the last of them turned down the main road. "Who were they?" Sierra asked Merlin as he slowly stood up as well making sure that there wasnt anyone else before turning towards her. "That was Morgan Le Fay's army passing through." Merlin told her as he stepped out onto the road again the road was clear now which was a good thing.

"DC is just dumb in my opinion." Isabella said jokingly towards Jack seeing that the coast was clear, and stood up again dusting herself off of some dirt on her clothes. "I could totally just sneak into your parents place then or something and just crash there." Taylor said jokingly as she watched Lucky squirming before jumping out of the bag that Rosalia had him stuffed in. Layla slowly stood up and stretched slightly as she made her way onto the main road again looking at Tinker Bell and Merlin. "If that was a patrol then might want to get us to where ever you are taking us." Layla told them, as Merlin nodded and then started to continue down the road, until there was fork in the road, her turned down to the path on the left until there was a massive clearing. Merlin walked forward a little bit before placing his hand forward to reveal a massive tower and opening the door. "Welcome to my tower." Merlin said, letting the others in first inside it looked like it hadnt been touched in a really long time cob webs were everywhere.

Rose let out a small sigh of relief after the army had finished marching past and they could no longer hear them. She wasn't ready to have to fight, to battle for a land that she wasn't ready to call home. As familiar as it felt to her. She hadn't been here since she was seven. Rose returned the arrow to quiver. She smiled at Cass. Then moved back to the road with the group.

When they arrived at the tower Rose was a little impressed, but was sad at the disrepair it had fallen into. "It needs some TLC, but exciting a real wizard tower." She smiled at Merlin. Rose wondered if Morgan Le Fay was the same as she remembered from a book series she read once, or if there were differences.

Her shoulders relaxed a little as they entered the tower. She looked around trying to see what all was behind the cob-webs. What magical secrets this place could hold. If asked a week ago Rose would have thought herself too old for such fantasies, but here she was. Giddy that she had found her door so to speak.

Colby's shoulders relaxed as the marching army passed them and the sound of them disappeared. He sighed. Then glanced at Matthew. Matthew had started chatting a bit with one of the girls and a part of Colby was jealous. But he was thankful that Matthew was talking to someone and getting to know the others. So he tried to let that jealousy slide.

Now that the army was passed he stepped onto the road. When they reached the fork in the road Colby looked both directions trying to assess which direction the army had gone. He didn't particularly want to go the same way they had. Thankfully they had gone the opposite direction of the way Merlin led them.

At the tower, Colby looked around trying to make sure he had a good idea of the layout of the tower. If there were marching armies they might have to defend it. He walked the outer perimeter of the room trying to assess it on his third pass around he noticed something strange a glowing. As he investigated it he realized it would be a massive magic shield around the whole clearing. There was also an entrance to a basement just inside the tower. He poked his head and saw it led to a long tunnel.

Colby didn't want to wander off too much on his own and he didn't know what Merlin had planned so he didn't go down the tunnel. He just stood near the entrance of it. He had a theory that it led to Camelot proper underground. It was a secret passage, which was just straight up cool.
