Hello everyone! This is my first fanfiction story so go easy on me. I don't own Merlin .
"It isn't that hard. Why can't I just tell them?"
This was an e every day question for Merlin.
Why couldn't he just tell Arthur and the knights about him? About his magic. About him being Emrys. Yes, the legend spread. Now everyone knew all about the famous Emrys, the savior of magic.
But he was scared. How would they react? Would they be angry? Disappointed? So many questions, he once told Arthur. But now …
Before he even realized it, he was in front of the court room doors.
"Come on, you can do it. Just knock." He chanted to himself repeatedly.
Knock – Knock
The sound spread through the empty hallway. He turned around wearily, as if he was expecting someone to be there. No one was. This is it. No backing out now.
He peeked his head through the doors. All of the knights were looking at him with questioning and mocking expressions. Arthur on the other hand … He looked exasperated.
"What do you want, Merlin?"
"Um, well, you see I was just …um… well…."
"Oh spit it out already!" Yelled Gwaine. Apparently, there was an 'all in half price day' at the tavern and he was missing it. Not that he would pay anything anyway. He just loved the crowd.
Merlin sighed. This was not easy. Okay, here goes nothing.
"Well, I have a confession to make. Please don't kill me."
Everyone looked amused at this statement.
"We won't kill you Merlin", said Arthur, "just tell us already so we can get on with this very important meeting."
"I have magic!" blurted out Merlin.
There was a silence for a split second. And then the room erupted with laughter.
Merlin was confused. Very confused. He was not expecting this.
"Why are you laughing? Aren't you angry?"
"You idiot! Of course you have magic! Even a blind man would notice that by now. We are not stupid you know." Claimed Arthur.
"I beg to differ …" mumbled Merlin.
"What was that?" asked Percival. He put an angry mask, to joke around with him. He failed to notice that, of course.
"Nothing, nothing!"
There was a silence.
"So you have known about my magic all this time?" he questioned.
"Yes!" the all chorused.
"I'm Emrys too…" he added casually.
And that is when the ruckus began.
