MERLIN POV
As I watch Gwen walk away from her home in Camelot I'm heartbroken, this is all she has and has ever known, her life and family is here, Arthur is here and now she has to give it all up just because Arthur doesn't know the truth. The truth. I'll tell Arthur the truth but I guess I must tell Gaius first. Wait why am I guessing I'll need his help with Arthur.
I walk over to Gaius's desk where he is sitting reading something. "Gaius, I need your help." He looks up at me with great concern. "What have you got yourself meddled in now Merlin?" I give him a dumb look. "Do you honestly think I've done something wrong?" I pretend to be shocked. "No, what is it Merlin?" "I want to tell Arthur the truth about everything. About my magic and about what happened with Gwen and Lancelot being a shade." When I say that he doesn't look very surprised. "I expected as much from you. Which is why I grabbed a little more evidence about the Lancelot. In Gwen's cell there was a bracelet. I picked it and brought it back here. On the bracelet were some markings I had thought I'd seen before, that's what you caught me reading. Those feelings that Gwen had for Lancelot a long time ago were brought back because she wore this." Gaius hands me the bracelet. "So you're saying the bracelet was enchanted with magic?" I check with him, "yes Merlin I am." "Well we just need to plan on how to tell Arthur."
ARTHUR POV
I stand at the window and watch the sun set, it's been a long day. Today was meant to be our wedding day, I was meant to hold her in my arms and make her queen of Camelot but that's all gone now. I walk away from the window and sit down the table, Merlin should be along with my dinner soon not that I feel like eating anyway. I still don't know why she did that to me, I had fallen madly in love with her and she ripped my heart out.
I rest my head in my hands when there's a knock on the door. "Enter," I call out glumly. I look up as the door opens and there stands Merlin with a look of determination on my face. "I know before you say anything I was meant to bring your dinner but Gaius and I need to speak with you." He tells me. "What is it Merlin, can't it wait?" I'm not in the mood for this. "No Arthur it can't."
I'm shocked. "You're both wasting my time." I turn around and begin to walk away from Merlin and Gaius when the door swings shut. There was no gust of wind for it to close and no one touched it. I turn around to see Merlin and Gaius with no looks of surprise. "What was that?" I demand. "Sire, there's something else you should know. I'm a sorcerer." I laugh a lot actually. "Merlin, you're not a sorcerer." Within seconds his hand shots out, he mutters words and a fire starts in the fire place. I take a few steps back. "What?" "Sire, let me explain. Merlin here was born with magic and he has a prophecy on his shoulders. He is Emrys and he's destined to protect you and help you become the once and future king." Gaius explains. "How do I know what you're saying is true? How do I know he hasn't cast some spell upon you Gaius?" "Because I just know Arthur, please do you believe us?"
After a while of listening to Merlin and Gaius I decided I believed them and much to my disliking I apologised to Merlin for always being so hard on him. "Well I think that the sky might start raining sheep due to the fact Arthur just said sorry." I glare at Merlin. "Gaius, why are you telling my this?" I really hope this doesn't mean what I think it means. "Sire, you banished Gwen because she was under an enchantment." I feel a few tears slip from my eyes, I wipe them away quickly. "How do you know she was enchanted? You need evidence." "I did a spell, Gaius saw and Lancelot was a shade and the bracelet he gave her, we found it in her cell. It had magic surrounding it, my guess is it was conjured by Morgana." Merlin hands the bracelet to me. "I banished my wife to be because she was enchanted and not in her right mind. How am I meant to make any good and reasonable judgements as king if I couldn't even do this?" I'm doubting myself. "Arthur, I've known you since you were a boy, when you made mistakes you always found a way to redeem yourself and you will do the same by bringing Guinevere home." I feel a bit of hope break through inside me when Gaius says those things. "Merlin, thank you for all you've done. I know that I never treated you with the respect you deserved but now I think we can be equals." I hold my hand out and Merlin takes it. "So what's the plan?" Merlin asks. "Well Merlin with your new found magic just poof us to Guinevere right now." I demand. "Oh come on, you found out about my magic and you're already making demands." His voice comes out in that sarcastic, funny, annoyed tone. "I'm kidding Merlin. It's much too late to go now. I'll set out with a few nights and you in the morning in case anyone gets hurt." I feel determination set in. I will get my Guinevere back and I will never let her go again.
