Bright colors swirled around the dark sky. When the swirls got bigger you could see a man inside it. His legs skidded on the floor. He then looked around. China. Merlin was here to see about what was happening and wanted to get to know some people other than King Arthur and his bird Archemides which decided to fly off a lot lately. Merlin fixed his glasses and stared into the dark sky. "Terrible, terrible indeed." Merlin said.

Mulan was in China to look over things. She had heard that Hades had taken over and wanted to see for herself. What she saw nearly brought tears to her eyes. Her beautiful home was now covered in dark and cold. Suddenly, her face became very hard with anger. Hades had done this because she was trying to stop him with her army. She knew he might give China back if she called off her army. She considered doing it too for China's sake, but what of the other worlds? They were counting on her to save them. No, Mulan couldn't give up. She had to keep fighting. She would get China bacck.

Merlin walked with his wand as a small staff and looked for the young girl named Mulan who started an army against Hades. He smiled as he saw the girl who was coming. He knew is was Mulan for he had foreseen her. Her hair, her face to even the type of clothes she was wearing. He could tell she was distressed to her home being taken over by that deadful spell. Merlin knew his magic alone could not stop it.
Merlin finally made it up to Mulan and smiled. "Hello there, you are Mulan right? I am Merlin the Great and Powerful!"Merlin said with a little chuckle.

Mulan looked up as she heard footsteps approaching. She saw a man with long white beard who was strangely dressed. "Yes, I'm Mulan. How can I help you, Merlin the great and powerful?" She cracked a small smile at the words. She had never met him before but thought he was a nice man, who made jokes.

Merlin stood straighter. "I heard that you were the leader of the great Hero's Army."Merlin said holding his wand higher. With it he scratched his head and fixed his glasses once again. The bag he held began to shake. "Oh blast it all!" Merlin said with a shout. He opened the bag and the sugar container was fighting the china again. He tapped the sugar container and said "Will you stop!" and hit it with his wand. He closed the bag once again and looked at Mulan. "Sorry that blasted sugar container is more stubborn than my bird Arechemides." Merlin added.

"It's not so great, but I am the leader of it," Mulan said shruggind her shoulders. She then was forced to fight back her laughter when Merlin's sugar popped out of his bag and started fighting the China. She found it very funny. "I've met a bird named Archimedes not too long ago. He was a funny looking bird, unlike anything I've ever seen before." She fell silent for a moment. "What about my army? Would you like to join it maybe?" she asked hopefully. They needed more peole for it.

Merlin nodded his head and knew she was talking about his owl. "That would be Archemides. He is the highly educated owl."Merlin explained. "I am at your service young lady." Merlin said. "It has disturbed me that a god could go so far." Merlin added.

Mulan smiled brightly when she heard Merlin wantd to join her army. The smile then faded somewhat at hiss next words. "He had help," she said softly. "And he's even stronger now that he has the power of Atlantis. Do you know a spell to get a power out of someone, Merlin? I know it's possible, but I don't know how to do it. I'm not skilled in the magical ways." She shrugged her shoulders lightly and waited for his answer.

Merlin stroked his long beard. He then relized they were still in the middle of a field. He tapped his bag and two minature chairs floatd out and got bigger. They appeared as large chairs in a poof of white smoke. Merlin coughed a little. His own magic made him cough once in a while. He laughed a little and sat in his chair. He told the chair to pull up behind Mulan. "Have a seat my dear." Merlin said smiling. Merlin then tapped his bag again and a book floated out and turned into a large book on his lap. The book was named Magic, and the art of losing it Merlin stroked his beard once more and read.

Mulan watched as Merlin took two mini-chairs from his bag. They started to grow bigger, then with a puff of white smoke they were normal sized. Mulan coughed a bit as did Merlin. She then sat down in the chair he offered. He wasn't really saying anything, so she didn't either. Instead she watched him pull out a book and start to read it. She stayed silent as he read, looking around her at the black sky that had nothing to do with night.

Merlin that said rather loudly. "Ah ha!"
Merlin read over what he had seen one more time to see if he had read correctly. "It says here that to remove a power the person must be in a volnurable state, and willing to give it up with all their might." Merlin explained. "Hades may be strong, but there are times that even he can be desperate enough to get rid of something so powerful." Merlin added. He then closed the book and the book floated into the bag getting smaller and smaller as it went into the bag.

Mulan had been sitting there quietly, thinking about how Hades had taken her world when she wasn't even there. How mean was that? But she would get it back, she knew she would. Suddenly, Merlin shouted loudly, making Mulan jump and fall out of her chair. She stood up quickly, brushing herself off. "Don't do that," she said sternly though not angrily. She sat back down in her cair and listened to Merlin talk about what he had just read. She ran her fingers through her dark, shiny hair when he finished. She couldn't see Hades ever being vunerable or desperate. "What if we use the trident and a potion to get the power out of him? Would that work?"

"No I think not." Merlin said stroking his beard and with the shock of Mulan and her stern comment he fixed his glasses with a huff. Merlin thought for a moment. "I read that there is one way...."Merlin said looking at Mulan trying to intrigue her. Merlin was very wise, but he liked to be childish sometimes.

Mulan scowled at Hades. "Well, I think so. Hades is a god, not a person. The rules for him are different and probably not in a book. His powers were given to him by the trident, and they can be taken away by the trident along with a spell." Mulan stood up. "Now if you're done, I have other things to do than sit here and waste my time talking to fakes." Mulan put her hands on her hips and looked at Merlin, waiting for him to say something.

Merlin stood just as quickly as Mulan talked. "Blast it all girl!" Merlin said with a frustrated face. "Did you think I would waste my precious life pretending to be a wizard. The most powerful at that! "Merlin said his temper rising. He pulled out his pipe and smoke went in and out with his fury. That was what he did to not explode on a person. It was a soothing way to calm his nerves. He pulled it out of his mouth. "Don't you think I know he is a god. God or not you have some humanity in you. If all you care about it your world and helping others on the way, then why be here when I can be in the future! "Merlin said. The chairs poofed in white smoke. Merlin didn't cough this time for his anger was rising. "If you wish to have my help Fa Mulan then you should learn to be kinder even to your elders." Merlin said starting to walk away in a huff.
