"I would not wish to have your friend die in this, and I fear he would, but I admit, I would be curious to see what would happen."

Merlin glanced around, then back at her. "Of course, that relies on both of us being back in my world, together, and being able to contact your acquaintance."

Merlin was curious indeed. "Or, if we end up in yours, and then my Father follows." He shook his head. "Which is unlikely, but I am intrigued."

His smile to her was warm and grateful. Inside, he doubted even her 'friend' could stop the Devil, but he would enjoy seeing him try.
