Authors note: Thank you for taking time to read my story because it is my first fan fic. Also I would like to apologise for any mistakes because I wrote it on my Ipad.
I would also like to say I do not own any of the characters, because they belong to the great people who created Merlin! Anyway on with the short story!
"Wake up sire you have a council meeting in 10 minutes," Merlin shouted as he slammed Arthur's chamber door behind him and placed his breakfast on the table.
"Merlin you don't need to be so loud!" The king shouted at his loyal manservant. At this Merlin shouted back angrily,
" WE'LL IM SORRY,SIRE!" Arthur suddenly sat up in his bed, wondering what had made his normally calm servant quite distressed.
" Merlin you idiot, since when did you call me 'sire' ? And what on earth is a matter with you? " Merlin began heading to the chamber door. "Merlin!" Arthur shouted , trying to get his friends attention. Suddenly Merlin turned around and shouted,
"YOU WANT TO KNOW?" Arthur nodded and so Merlin tried to be calm,
"My father died, that's what is a matter Arthur." Arthur could see his friend trying to hold back tears.
"I'm so-" Arthur was interrupted before he could finish his sentence,
"No Arthur, don't say sorry, I don't want to hear it." Merlin could no longer keep is tears at bay and now they flowed down his cheeks.
" I thought you said you never met your father."
" No I hadn't until 3 weeks ago." Arthur then tried to figure out where he and Merlin were 3 weeks ago, he then remembered, he had been trying to find Balinor, the dragonlord who was now dead. Then in Arthur's head everything matched up. Balinor was Merlin's father. No he couldn't be because that would mean Merlin would now be the last dragonlord and he would have magic, Merlin couldn't have magic, he was being stupid. Wasn't he?
Merlin recognised Arthur's change in emotion, his face became a mask of shock. He had figured out he had magic.
"Merlin do you have m-m-ma" Arthur couldn't spit the words out , so Merlin just answered him.
" Yes Arthur I have magic and have since the day I was born." Merlin replied while his tears were slowly stopping as fear took over his body, worrying what Arthur was going to do next. Then there was silence, Merlin could see Arthur was trying process the news.
" Get out!" Arthur whispered, Merlin was shocked he hadn't expected to Arthur to react like this,
"GET OUT" Arthur screamed causing a scared Merlin to run out the chamber door. Arthur hadn't accepted Merlin for who he was. Merlin needed to escape Camelot before Arthur did something stupid like order his execution.
