[Will couldn't help but be a bit amused.]

Well, then. That break didn't last long, did it?

Birthday wishes are an interesting thing, aren't they?  For a moment you might almost think that any wish possible.

[Will smiles, vaguely and a little sadly.]

I do not think that I will wish for snow this year.  Nor anything else, for that matter.  With everything else... [He trails off as he shakes his head.] There just doesn't seem much of a reason to celebrate.

 Well, it was different. [The boy's expression remains pleasantly bland.]  I found it very strange to see so many people that I know behaving so very differently.  And being so very young. 

But, I do not think it is a bad difference. Even in such a different world, Arthur and Merlin are yet themselves. Almost destiny, that.

[Will grins suddenly with more than a little mischievousness.]

I do wonder what Merriman would think of all this.

M'lady, I must say this is quite the surprise. But so long as our acquaintance does not upset the delicate balance so recently attained; I cannot find fault with it. Though I must wonder what you expect to gain from it beyond amusement.

Yours beyond words,

Arthur

 It is my birthday tomorrow.  Two years to the day since I first came into my heritage as an Old One and stopped the first rising of the Dark.

I really don't find all this talk about the world ending tonight amusing at all.

 Well. I can't say I can be too surprised that such a story has brought me to mind once more.  Matters of the battle between Light and Dark must by their very nature be a weighty matter in any world.  And it seems to me that the Dark in that world lies very deep indeed.

But you must remember that it is all a part of the pattern.  And the darker the pattern grows, the brighter the few threads of Light will shine.

 I know you've been thinking about trying to do something for my birthday.  Now that we are so close to it again and all.  

But if you don't mind, I don't really want any sort of celebration.  I don''t need excitement or presents or anything like that.  

The only thing I really want is snow.  Not the dusting we usually got back home, but a proper thick blanket of snow.  You know, the kind that makes the whole world look fresh and new.

 It is all very well to say that you want to look for some friends from home to join me.  

But you are forgetting, I think.  Even if Merriman was willing to come, he could not.  He has other duties now.  All the others would remember me as nothing more than a strange boy they once met during the holidays.  Even Bran.  [He pronounces the name in sadness.]

And that is as it should be.

Of course I've no objection to following after Bran.  We are on a quest, after all.  It wouldn't be right at all to leave him alone in this.  My place is by his side.

But I will be powerless there, almost.  I do not know how much use I will be in that place.  It is true that an Old One can never become anything greater or less than what they are.  Only be limited for a time.  I know that my duties will remain the same.  But I do not know how I will complete them in a world where I would be able to use one gift, only.

I wish I could speak to Merriman about this.

This will be difficult, I think. What is an Old One to do in a world where Time itself is compressing?

Well, if I must go I must go. But was it really necessary to choose that canon point? I should think I would be of more use if I could remember who and what I am.

Dear mundane,

this is not the time to take me away from the world that is my home. You may do so after the battle is won or lost, for better or worse. This friend of yours taking Will out of there only enlarges the predicament in which the Light will find itself.

For the good of our world, reconsider.

Diolch,

Bran
