English isn't my language and although my story is readable there is lot of mistakes.
I know already that I should get beta. If someone wants to do that job, tell me.
And those who know me; B&F is almost finished (tomorrow jay!) and that was really long story. There is also two other story unfinished but I haven't got any inspiration, although I hope I can finish them someday.
But now this; sorry that the first chap is so short, but it's just prologue.
Prologue
Merlin closed the book and leaned back thoughtfully. He drummed absently the book's cover. He turned his gaze and looked at the sleeping figure close fireplace's heat. When he had thought for another moment he put the book on the table and walked closer to Gaius. How much he nowadays envied Gaius; how he was able to sleep so peacefully. Merlin rubbed his eyes. He took on the shelf the medicine that Gaius had prepared earlier in the evening for him. Merlin opened the cork and sniffed. Just as disgusting as ever, he thought, and gulped down all of it. Grotesque. He drew water from the tub to wash the bitter taste in his mouth, took the book and returned to his room. The forbidden book back below the planks and he snuffed out the candles. Darkness descended as the all-consuming blanket. The room was cold and Merlin trembled. When he sat on the edge of the bed, he knew already that there would be a dream; a nightmare. And he would sleep through of it and wake up more tired than ever.
Those whispers.
It was lucky that he didn't worked as a manservant anymore. Now he was full-time apprentice of Gaius and unofficial advisor of the king.
Tired.
He slumped on the bed. It took a while before he was ready to close his eyes.
And the whispers came again.
The whispers of silence.
