I'm super bored and I'm struggling to write anything at the moment, this is just to try and get me into the swing of things. Most are hopefully going to be long drabbles. You can send me prompts and requests. Let's see how this goes.
"Write a story starting as the sun sets and ending as the sun rises"
The cool night air penetrated the thin layer of clothing he wore, Goosebumps had erupted on his arms long ago but he didn't care. Nothing mattered.
He didn't care about the damp earth below him that was slowly seeping into his trousers or the steady flow of his tears down his face.
He cared about his friend, his friend that was stood over him looking at him in hatred and disdain. Everything had fallen apart; it had taken just a few moments. A few moments of carelessness and now everything had been destroyed.
"Why?" The gruff voice said, his quivering arm holding the sword at his throat.
"I didn't mean to." He said sadly, looking up at his King. "I never wanted to betray you."
"But you did… just like everyone else." He lowered the sword now, his shoulders slumping in defeat. It was worse to see him give up like this than it was for the steel to press into his neck. He had always been prepared for anger, for death. Not for this.
"Not like they did, I only protected you. I only ever wanted to help you. Please" Merlin begged "Let me explain."
Arthur said nothing but slowly lowered himself to the muddy wet ground beside Merlin, his hands were clenched together but he nodded stiffly.
So Merlin told him, he told him everything and Arthur for once in his life simply listened. He didn't talk, he didn't ask questions. He gave nothing away as Merlin talked; he stared straight ahead, unmoving. It took Merlin the entire night to tell his story and by the time he was done the sun was rising casting the earth with an orange glow and warming the cold friends.
Merlin waited for judgement, for Arthur to condemn him.
Arthur raised his hand and Merlin flinched, but it landed on his shoulder clenching it tightly.
"Come Merlin, it's time to go home before my hands fall off." Merlin's mouth dropped open.
"Is that it? Aren't you going to yell at me?"
"Merlin, for once just be quiet." Arthur sighed pulling Merlin to his feet. Merlin shut his mouth wisely. Both he and his King walked back to the castle on stiff legs and bathed in the light of a new day.
A/N Hope you enjoyed. I will probably be writing more soon, anything to get rid of this writers block. :) Please review and maybe even send in a prompt or two xx
