A magic forest story- Rapunzel part 2

Remus fought hard during his time in Britannica and was promoted several times.  All he could think of was how he would trade the weight of gold of Rapunzels' hair just to be with her again. His final mission was to attack the island of Anglesey and home of the druids to break the will of the celts.

They stormed the island and the Druids found their magic almost useless against the new roman steel as it was able to absorb their magic. The Roman legion tore through the entire island and only one escaped a Druid by the name of Merlin.

Remus commanding officer Amulius called him into his tent and said " This week is your last week of service Remus so I will charge you with one more task. You are to track down this escaped druid Merlin and kill him before he causes Rome any more problems. If you are successful you will be discharged from the Army, however, if you fail you will have to serve in the army one more full year.

Ramus knew if he said no they would add two more years of service to his enlistment as they often did. "Of course Sir," Ramus said and rode off in search of Merlin.

Alone in the land of the celts, he found his way to Merlin standing on a cliff edge now cornered by him. Ramus walked up to him sword in hand.

 "I know who you are" he yelled
"Who am I then to you" Merlin replied.
"You are the rogue druid Merlin and I must kill you"
"Are you sure Ramus, that is what you want from me? Because I know there is more to your hart then just gold."
"What do you know about me, I am no one to you" Ramus replied.
"We are all something to someone and you are no exception to that. Now tell me Ramus what is it that you really want?"
"I want a potion that can turn someone bold forever."
"Then let us gather the herbs you will need and you will have your potion"

As they gathered the herbs for the potion Ramus asked Merlin what he would do if he let him live and Merlin replied his war is not this one and long after Rome is but a rumor he will be there for the wars of Arthur the true king of England.

Ramus not knowing of these lands of England did not care for the old man's ramblings and when the potion was complete he returned back to his commanders' tent and said that the Druid known as Merlin must have perished for he found no trace of him.

A year later he returned to Gaul and to Rapunzels' tower. As he stood at the bottom looking up he yelled "Rapunzel, Rapunzel throw down your hair" and she rushed to the window to see him.
