Comfort of a dragon
Kilgahrrah was now looking at Merlin with sadness while the Dragonlord was looking at the small dragon next to him with a very wide smile. He hadn't seen Aithusa for a year and a half now and he really missed him. He had grown big and Merlin couldn't help it but be proud of him. But Aithusa was not as happy for seeing Merlin as his Dragonlord was.
"What has he got?", Merlin asked.
"He managed to see through my mind.", Kilgahrrah said
"So?"
"He saw the night when you threw a spear at me with magic. He feels you have betrayed him, Merlin", the Great Dragon said calmly.
Merlin closes his eyes in sadness.
"You're right to be angry at me. You're right to feel sad. But I would never really harm him."
Then why did you?
Merlin sighs. "Because I didn't have a choice."
Aithusa doesn't believe him still.
Merlin walks towards Aithusa and lowers to be at the same height as the youngling.
"Aithusa…", Merlin tries to stroke Aithusa but he got blocked by a defensive young dragon.
"You think that I betrayed you don't you? Let me tell you something. Whatever I have done ,I will always be the Merlin you saw for the first time. I will be your dragonlord. Aithusa…. I want to replace the time that was lost."
Aithusa was beginning to bend from the kindness and the smiles that Merlin gave him all the time.
"I want to replace the time that was lost with those I love and care about. And I wouldn't say anything if I didn't care about you." Now Merlin had began to cry and he began stroking Aithusa again. Now the young dragon finally gave in to the strokes and he forgave him.
For days dragonlord and dragon had been spending as much time as they could together. Merlin also told Arthur about his magic and about his dragonlord powers and the two majestic creatures he had been caring about all the time. Arthur was , of course , shocked at the beginning but then he accepted it. He appointed him Court Sorcerer and then Merlin explained him the situation of Aithusa and Arthur accepted it. After then he didn't wonder why Merlin has been disappearing at the end of the day.
Merlin was now playing with the young dragon. He couldn't believe that he could actually spend some time with his dragon ,as he was growing up.
Aithusa had been chasing Merlin's fingers all the time and all that could be heard were laughter and smiles that his Dragonlord gave him all time long. Then Merlin started talking through it and Aithusa got curled up near his dragonlord. "Sleep, you need it." ,Merlin said calmly as he was looking a half-asleep Aithusa. Then the hatchling finally gave in and rested his tiny head on Merlin's legs. Merlin didn't mind at all. In fact he started stroking the sleeping dragon again. Merlin was feeling proud of the young dragon and he wasn't going to let anyone take that away from him.
