Part 2
Balinor had been walking for days. He paused at the top of the ridge and looked down into Camelot. It was smaller than he remembered but he was a boy when he last came to the city. Everything seems much larger and grander when you are a boy.

Balinor was on his way to visit his friend Gaius. Gaius lived at the edge of the city and was a healer by profession. Balinor's visit was not to be healed but it was serious all the same.

"The druids? Why should I believe the druids?" Gaius put his medicine bag on the table. "They hide in their caves. What do they know of the city?"

They know about the brothel called Avalon." Balinore countered. "Nimueh has been careless. She will be the doom of us all."

Gaius took a deep breath. "Nimueh…..  "
