Sarah rubbed at her temples, her headache getting slowly worse.

A tinge of guilt blocked out the darkness – Merlin was grieving too, but his sole aim was to give her hope. He woke her up in the morning, nudged her out of the way when she was about to bump into something.
It was as if he knew he world was going dark.
