Spoilers for 4x02 and 4x01

Disclaimer: I don't own merlin :( if i did then his magic would have been revealed already.

Discription: When Lancelot returns in 4x02, this is what goes through Arthur's mind. Observant!Arthur. One-Shot! Kinda a magic reveal.


When Lancelot came into the light, relief washed through me. He was alive. That is good right? "Lancelot," I breathed out, "Where is Merlin?" My face turned to that of horror when he solemly said, "Bad news, sire." So Merlin is dead. Gaius said that no mortal could ever escape from the dorocha. I will personally make sure he gets the funeral he deserves. Then lancelot smiled. Who can smile at a time like this? "He is still alive," I snapped out of my thoughts to see merlin striding round the corner as if he was never sick. A warm smile spread across my face. One by one the knights hugged him, then I clapped him on the back and led him to the fire. He must be cold. But, wait... no mortal has survived. That must mean that merlin isn't mortal. Memories left abandoned flooded my mind, images and sounds of merlin. Only one thing fits... Merln is magic. There is no other explanation, but he cant have magic. He wouldn't betray camelot like that. But everything makes sense now, Merlin has magic. Nahh, maybe its the fear talking. I should get some sleep. Who knows when the dorocha will strike again.


Well that is it, i have had this idea ever since i saw the first 2 episodes of series 4. Hope you liked it. Please R&R, I'm not that good at writing so I just wanted to get this idea out there. Someone can use this idea for a reveal fic if they want. I don't need any credit for it.
