Hello everyone. I know there are plenty of these but I thought I'd give it a go too.
Just so you know, I don't own Merlin (unfortunately).
Enjoy!
"Were you Dragoon the Great?"
"Yes, but -"
"Then you killed my father."
"I did no such thing!" His servant exclaimed, hurt reflecting in his eyes. "It -"
"You have committed treason." The King exclaimed sharply.
"No! All I have ever done is help you."
"Sorcery is punishable by death, something you should be aware of"
"I had no choice!"
"Lies! You knew the punishment and still you defied me!"
"I was born with magic!" He shouted, before his whole energy went out of him and Merlin slumped in defeat. "Arthur, I -
I've been able to use magic since as long as I remember. My mother told me that she found me levitating objects hours after I was born."
Arthur's eyes narrowed further. "Then why are you here?"
Merlin gazed at him with such incredibility it made Arthur wonder whether he should have known the answer.
"To protect you, you bloody prat." He said. "All I have ever done is protect you, and I will continue to protect you, if you let me, till the day I day."
The silence between them grew longer and longer, creating a drift between the two men who had considered themselves brothers.
In the room remains of shattered glass lay about, among with the crumbled marble and fallen swords from the previous battle.
"I'm afraid I can't do that." Arthur spoke regrettably.
"Why?"
"Because I no longer know who you are Merlin. Are you the fool? The wise man? Now you're suddenly the most powerful man to have ever lived and yet you acted as my servant. Who are you Merlin? I have no idea any more."
"I am all of those things. The fool, the wise man, but most importantly your friend."
"Then why didn't you tell me?" If his eyes didn't betray his hurt, his voice certainly did.
"I wanted to Arthur. I really did"
"THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU? I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE THE ONE PERSON I COULD TRUST, AND -" Arthur's voice broke off.
"You lied to me."
Arthur paused before continuing. "Merlin, I am afraid that I no longer require your services."
"What?!" Merlin's pale face were covered in tears. He had always known that this day had come, but he had always hoped it would turn out right. After all, wasn't he the Emrys destined to create the peace of Albion with the Once and Future King?
"You heard me. Now leave. I never want to see you again."
The Warlock stared at his previous master for a couple of moments.
"Arthur -"
"Go! You are no longer welcome here!"
And with that, Merlin fled, dragging his heavy heart with him. He was not the only one who had troubled dreams that night.
TBC...
I hope you liked it, and feel free to criticize/correct/ask questions or whatever.
