He saw Morgana and I fighting, but he could not predict the outcome. He started to teach me how to exploit her weaknesses, for example, by using water or earth when she used fire. Merlin knew I would have to do this alone, but he tried to prepare me as well as possible. He knew also that he and I had a power that Morgana knew nothing about - Love. We loved our families, and I was going to fight her out of love for my father.
Love is a very powerful asset.
The next day Merlin and I rode off. We had heard of an attack on a village on the outskirts of a minor province named Newhavenfort. We suspected that Morgana was behind it. When we arrived, I was immediately besieged by the pain of deaths lingering behind. Then I found that I could communicate with the loitering spirits.
