10 things Merlin tells Arthur
Chapter One: MAGIC
It was to say the least a normal day in Camelot the Knights of the Round Table were waiting for their king to come into the chambers to what he wanted. No creatures of magic had attacked the kingdom. There were no famines or diseases in Camelot and as far as they knew no one is planning to go to war against them. They were greatfull and happy that is till they heard the familiar scream.
"MERLIN!"
Followed by the slamming of the chambers door. All the knights looked up to see what trouble Merlin could have gotten into this time.
"Arthur let me explain."
"Explain what how you betrayed my trust and lied to me."
The knights just looked at each other than back at them. Except for Gwaine who decided to get up.
"What are you fighting about this time. Seriously you two bicker more than old married couple."
Both servant and master turned to the knight glaring, "SHUT UP GWAINE!"
Gwaine rolled his eyes and sat down taking out a jug of ale from the bottom of the table and took a swig from it.
Arthur started pacing back and forth till finally he stopped right in front of them. "This idiot has magic!" Arthur resumed pacing and continued speaking either to them or himself they didn't know.
"And how does he tell me 'Oh um well I have magic.' then he shows off!"
Merlin rolled his eyes and looked at Lancelot who was trying not to look suspicious and failing. "I saved your life!"
"Please you showed off.'
"Sire what exactly happened." said Leon calmly and unsure of what was going on.
Arthur sat down and indicated Merlin do the same after wards he sighed and started the tale.
"Merlin and I were hunting when out of nowhere a pack of sorcerers comes to attack us and almost kills us both but then guess what happens? A band of druids. Yes Druids comes and they fight the sorcerers..."
The knights all looked shocked except for Gwaine who was drinking ale and only slightly paying attention and Lancelot who kept glancing at Merlin in worry.
"...After the sorcerers retreat the druids bow to HIM! calling him 'Lord' and giving their loyalty to him after calling him 'the most powerful sorcerer to walk the earth'."
At this everyone looks at Merlin in astonishment.
"Emrys." Percival whispered in awe.
"What?" Arthur says staring at Percival.
"In my travels I have met many druids who shared with me their stories and most famous prophesy about the most powerful warlock to ever walk the earth, Emrys and the Once and Future King."
Arthur look at Merlin in rage, "Did you just forget to mention this."
Merlin just sighed in annoyance,"Can you please just let me explain myself before you go and make accusations."
Silence was what made him continue, "First I was born with magic I never chose it. Secondly I am Emrys and my destiny is to protect the Once and Future King, which is Arthur I might add. Thirdly I've ever only used magic for you I am only loyal to you. Yes I have lied to you but it was only to protect you for I cannot make sure your safe if I'm dead. I will take any punishment you give willingly but I will not apologizing for saving your sorry ass." Merlin said in one breath very quickly but everyone got what he said.
"I wont have you executed but you do know i have to punish you for lying right?"
"I expect nothing less"
The rest of the day continued with them all talking about Merlin and his magic and how it didn't change their friendship.
