Chapter 1- Arthur's Weakness
Note- This fan fiction is based on both the TV series, Merlin, and the legend of King Arthur, though my inspiration comes from Merlin. Enjoy! I intend to continue this fan fiction, so drop me a comment on what you'd like to see or just your thoughts, lol. J
The prince of Camelot looked down over the many turrets of the castle to the people below. Arthur let his eye wander over the peasants, each beginning a new day. One dark-headed boy caught his attention. It was Merlin, Gaius, the court physician's, assistant. Now that was someone worth observing.
That boy, that ordinary-looking boy was not as he seemed. He possessed some unnatural tendency to get into trouble- and he was quite the jester. Arthur watched as Merlin strolled through the market with the black-skinned Guinevere, Lady Morgana's maid. They laughed together- and although they didn't show it to one another freely- Arthur witnessed the admiring looks between the pair. He saw Merlin's eyes light up as he spoke to her, clung to her every word and his movements turn shy.
Grinning a little, Arthur pulled away from the castle window and headed inside, missing Merlin glance up wistfully… It would be fate that drew these two together- that, and a touch of jealousy…
