[Merlin's sleep had been rudely interrupted by intense flashes of light and the overwhelming feeling that he should be doing something. The presence, pushing at the boundaries of his mind, felt eerily like communicating with the Great Dragon. And as Merlin had tossed and turned, awake, throughout the rest of the night he came to a conclusion. After all he had done to try and contact Hyt--with plenty of failure--it looks as though the spirit had attempted to contact him right back.

Intuitively, the young warlock felt able to suss out what the spirit wanted. Hold fast, wait for further instructions. Prove yourself worthy. The anticipation of it all succeeds to put him on edge for the rest of the day.

Mid-morning, he addresses the community through his journal:]
Err--hello? I was, uhm, just wondering...are there any stables in Luceti? Normally, back home, Arthur just says the word and there are horses waiting outside the castle. Well, more like Arthur says the word and I go fetch them but, what I mean is...what do you do if you plan on making any kind of a journey, here?

[Later in the day, Merlin can be seen walking impatiently around the village. He looks distracted and ill-at-ease with excitement. The walking is mostly a means of keeping calm while he waits for any further communication from the spirit. For once, he's not carting anything around with him.]

It is nice today, isn't it?

[ She notices him looking around. ] Oh.. are you waiting for someone?

No, just--[he turns back, still smiling]--just you.

Yeah! Of course, I've got something to tell you. [He smiles down at the ground for a moment before looking at Fina again.] If you want to hear it.

You seem so excited.. why wouldn't I want to hear it?

I just--you know what? [He smiles, shaking his head.] I don't know why I thought you wouldn't. Just...nervous, I guess.

There's no need to be nervous. We're friends, aren't we?

[ Oh, the irony of that statement. ]

Friends? Yeah. Of course. [Merlin manages not to break his grin--or, in fact, falter in the slightest. Being friends was, after all, a good thing. A great thing. If friends was what Fina wanted to be, then Merlin wanted it as well.

He drops into a whisper:]
I think that I was contacted by Hyt.

The light spirit? R-Really? [ Not even Fina had accomplished that feat. ]

I had been trying to contact Hyt myself for weeks, Fina. But nothing was happening. Then, this morning? My mind was just filled with light. It must have been the spirit, right?

Filled with light... it must have been.

[ She nods. ]

I feel as though Hyt wants me to do something. To complete some task. But I'm not sure what. Perhaps I'll be told, later.

I'm...not sure yet, Fina. It was all a kind of blur. But I think I'm going to have to prove myself to Hyt.

[He's been on this carousel before.]
