Hey guys! So not dead! WEEEEEEEEEEEE.
READ Anyway so I've had an idea. I'm going to be doing a series of one shots (maybe two or three shots probs not though) of a lot of different fandoms. Some will be really popular and other won't. Not to say they don't have a big fan base there just aren't many fics about them. I'll generally have an outline for most of my stories but I am always down for suggestions. Keep in mind some will be crossovers and AU's. Friendly critique is also awesome, but keep it friendly k? Don't like don't read. As I mentioned I'm new at this so support would be wicked
So without further ado I give you a merlin one shot! (Cause I'm comfy with that) Uthers still king in this btw and I'm totally obsessed with the dragon lord thing. The time is a bit fucked up in this. But aithusa is not present in this fic. This gonna be a two shot and not my best cause I really want to get it out to you guys
Merlin belongs to BBC not to me
Merlin felt uncomfortable. Not in the usual way he did when Uther was taking court. But it was a weird, almost painful tingling spread across his whole body. His magic was pulsing too, struggling to be free.
And then there was the Urge. It was one of the downers of being soul tied to ancient all powerful magical beings. He always, no matter how far in the back of mind felt the urge to Roar. And now it was very much at the front of his mind.
roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roa-
It was frustrating.
Gaius was looking at him like he was a lunatic, because his tutor could feel him shifting and could probably hear the low hissing that was uncontrollably coming out of his mouth.

He tried distracted himself by looking around the room. Uther was sitting there, mouth moving but Merlin didn't register any words. Arthur was sitting to is right looking dazed. Morgana was there, looking evil but maybe he was being biased. Gwen was yawning. The knights were all there and all excluding Leon looked bored out of minds. In fact everyone was but no one was outwardly showing it too much.
Merlin was just good at reading people

Wow that was really annoying and really not going away.
Suddenly pain flared up from somewhere inside him and he had to hold back the whimper that crawled up his throat. It came again but stronger this time piercing his heart.
He could not hold back the cries.
Everyone whipped around and looked at him, but he barely noticed. He fell to his knees and clutched his chest screaming as what felt like fire danced through his veins.

He couldn't take the pain and the last thing he saw before darkness engulfed him, was the scarlet wave of knights and one crown prince
When Merlin woke he was no longer in pain but he felt like a piece of him had been ripped out. It took it him awhile to come to terms with it. But when he did he opened his eyes.
Then immediately closed them again
Too late
A cry of ''OI! YOU LAZY ARSEHOLES! MERLIN'S AWAKE!'' was heard. He could safely assume that was Gwaine. He heard a thundering of footsteps, a crash, some unsavoury language and a loud cackle
Again the last one was probably Gwaine.
Merlin reluctantly rolled over his head and opened his eyes to survey the scene before him. There was pile of knights in the doorway, a howling Gwaine in the corner, a severely unimpressed and eyebrow raising Gaius and a tutting Gwen who immediately ran over to him.
''HowareyoumerlinohmygoshIwassoworriedareyouinpainwhathappenedI-'' Merlin interrupted her.
''I feel… I actually feel fine."
''Are you sure Merlin?'' Asked a concerned looking Percival.
''You didn't sound it in the great hall, what happened?'' Added Leon. All eyes turned to Merlin
''Uh…Well…Um…'' Merlin sent an imploring look over to Gaius, who immediately got the message.
He loved Gaius
''All right! Everybody out!'' He snapped.
''But Gaius…'' Arthur all but whined.
'''OUT!''
After shutting the door after the last of the hightailing knights, Gaius turned to Merlin.
''Now boy, what happened?'' Merlin bit his lip, unsure how to respond.
'' Well, I started feeling these tingles under my skin, like my magic was pulsing to get out. Then I started to feel the urge to roar-''
''Hold on,'' Interjected Gaius ''the urge to roar?'' He looked incredulous. The eyebrow was raised.
''It's a Dragon Lord thing. Anyway suddenly I felt this pain, it felt like it was coming from inside me. I know how weird that sounds. But then I blacked out and here I am.''
Gaius's face was rapidly falling but he was doing a good job hiding it.
''Merlin… what do you feel now?'' He asked
''I feel… like I just lost something very important.'' Merlin supplied and then his face screwed up. '' Why what does it mean?''
''I hope I'm wrong but… it sometimes happens that when two beings are connected and one of them… passes… that the other feels it. It takes some time to recover from.''
All Merlin felt was dread. It couldn't be true. No. NO.
He reached out to Kilgharrah desperately with his magic. He tried. He tried.
He couldn't feel the dragon.
Suddenly he couldn't hold back a roar any longer
Stay tuned for the next part
