I do not own any of Merlin.
The new guy causes some drama
Merlin is done with today. He had to wake up early this morning because one of the servants had fell and broken something of the armours of the knights. The servant had fallen unconscious and Merlin had to go to the blacksmith.
It was really early and the forge had just opened. He had to wait until they all were repaired. Gwen's father told showed some prototypes of swords and armours and Merlin gave some tips, to make them better. Merlin had read many books in his hometown.
He had one friend and had a lot of free time. He has read every genre and he's happy that he read them. It has helped him in his life a lot.
He walks back to the castle his hand are full and the cart is also full. Gwen's father had asked him if he wanted some help but he declined it. He's sweating under the heat and weight of the metal. He should have said yes. He hears a voice at his back if he wants some help. He accepts it and the weight is lifted up from his arms. It's a Roman. He didn't notice the accent of the guy until the guy asked why he was carrying all this stuff.
Merlin looks up and sees a tall, buff guy. He's still in the toga. He looks like a gladiator. His arms are not too muscly or too thin. He's shoulders are wide and his legs are well trained too. His voice is deep and attractive. He has a sharp jawline. His hair is light brown and wild in a sexy manner. The sight is very enjoyable for sure.
The handsome stranger is a little surprised too. He came to Camelot to visit his sister that had married someone from here. He noticed that a skinny guy was having a hard time. When he heard the guy accept his offer, he liked the Englishman's voice.
They traded names and talked on the way to the castle.
Merlin asked: 'Maybe we can talk some time later. Are you going to stay for a long time or are you fast gone?'
'I'm going to stay here for 2 weeks. I had a wound while a fight and can't fight real fights for a while.'
'İ can help you with you wound maybe. You can wait here and I leave the armours in the stocks. Magnus may know a faster working medicine.'
'Sure, I'll wait.'
Merlin goes inside and gets everything in its place. He tells Arthur that he's going to go out. Arthur ask who it is because the knights and he were going to fight and Gwen has work to do. Merlin says that he's going to give a tour to someone that is visiting Camelot. Arthur asks if someone else can do it. Merlin says: 'He speaks Latin and people of Camelot can't speak it that good.' Arthur can't say something against that and let's him go.
'Great', thinks Arthur. He has to get George to hold the shield. That guy just talks every time he makes a good shot and he's serious the whole time. It gets so boring but he can't force Merlin to be with him the whole time. He understand that Merlin can make other friends too but he can't stand to think that he isn't with Merlin. He has gotten used to Merlin talking about him being fat or being dumb.
'You know what', thinks Arthur, 'I can just send Lancelot to chaperone with them.'
He goes to Lancelot and tells him that he has to tell Merlin that he should come back to the training ground if he's free immediately. Lancelot asks why. Arthur says: 'Because George is really annoying the bollocks out of me.'
Lancelot knows that Arthur isn't telling the truth. He had met that guy and saw Merlin and him talk. Arthur has always been jealous of other people over Merlin. He never has seen them for a whole day apart.
Lancelot sees that the father of Gwen, Merlin and the guy are talking. The guy gives a gladius to Tom. 'The guy must be someone of the Roman empire', thinks Lancelot.
Merlin notices him and calls him to the them. The Roman greets him and tells him his name. Lancelot tells what Arthur said to him and Merlin says: 'Okay.' They hang out for a while. Prascus, the Roman, has to go back home and they part apart.
Arthur and the knights are taking a break. They see the two coming and Arthur orders George to go back to the castle.
He gives Merlin the shield and they begin training.
Merlin is tired after 30 minute. He has to run the whole time and the weight is a lot. He drinks some water and lays down. Arthur sees this and goes sitting with him. The prince says: 'Merlin, you should begin to become stronger. You have been holding that shield for a long time but your still weak. We'll begin tomorrow.'
Merlin is baffled at this. He doesn't want to do it. He gets tired enough of just using his magic. He may look weak but his magic protects him very good.
The next day Arthur gives Merlin a sword. Merlin does some moves and Arthur notices that those are the moves that the Romans use. He's impressed. He asks where he learned this and Merlin says that it's the guy he walked yesterday. Arthur was alarmed by this. Romans are most of the time very violent and sneaky what if this guys is lying to Merlin. The Romans have destroyed many countries and taken them as their own.
Arthur asks where the guy is. Merlin tells him that he shouldn't think that every Roman is a killer and selfish. Arthur really doesn't trust this Roman.
