A/N: I'm goin with the flow, which tells me to drabble! This is my first one and an attempt at dark!Merlin... sort of.
No spoilers.
No warnings as such.
I don't own Merlin (sadly)
Enjoy!
Screams in the night.
Merlin woke with a start, his brow shining and heart racing. For weeks he had heard it.
It always started the same. A dream. About a great battle- the battle for his right to survive. He would always come across wave upon wave of evil, enemy after enemy, each intent on destroying him.
The dream would intensify, growing louder and more vivid with each passing second, until he would feel a burning pain pass through his entire body.
Each nerve on fire.
He would wake suddenly, drenched in sweat and shaking violently.
Screams in the night.
