A/N: This is a crossover of Narnia and Merlin, and in my world a couple of things are different. Narnia and Camelot are in the same world separated by a mountain range. In Narnia it takes place during the Golden Age (so the Pevensies are in their mid to late 20's) and includes my OC Ariela who is Edmund's fiance, and she was a human child that the White Witch found during her reign and attempted to raise as a daughter but failed, until the Pevensies came and she escaped with Edmund. Narnia includes some humans who came to it after the White Witch was defeated from the neighboring kingdom of Archenland. In Merlin, Morgana is good and is in a relationship with Merlin, Gwen and Arthur are married, and Arthur is king. Magic is still banned but isn't as heavily enforced under Arthur's reign and some of the harsher laws such as burning to death have been repealed. Since Morgana is good Lance never died. My OC Alvina is dating Mordred who grew up on a magical island that had a faster time zone and he grew 11 years in the three years that have passed for Arthur since he saved him. Alvina is Merlin's twin sister and when Mordred saved Arthur from a magical beast, Arthur made him a knight. Alvina and Mordred started dating a few months after his return and she is Morgana's new maidservant since Gwen became queen.
Chapter 1
Gaius finished his last potion and started to head out the door, when he realized that he hadn't seen Merlin all that morning. Stupid boy, Arthur will not be happy if he is late to this council meeting because Merlin didn't wake him up. He thought as he made his way into Merlin's back room. He looked at the bed and unsurprisingly saw Merlin's head peeking out from his bundle of blankets, very peacefully sleeping. Gaius shook his head and sighed fondly.
"Merlin. Merlin! You must go wake up Arthur. You're already late don't make it worse. Wake up!" With that final command the boy finally jerked up. He turned towards Gaius with large surprised eyes. In the next instant he was out of bed and looking around the room as if searching for something specific. He gave up searching and stepped into a defensive position facing Gaius.
"Where is this?"
"You're in your room Merlin. Are you ok?" Gaius asked warily.
"Merlin? I know not who this Merlin is!" Then out of the corner of his eye 'Merlin' caught a glimpse of himself in the window. He turned completely towards the window and gaped. The tall, willowy man in the window was not who he was. Gaius seemed to sense this as his next question was asked somewhat warily.
"Then what do you call yourself?"
"I am known as King Edmund the Just."
Mr. Beaver walked into King Edmund's chambers to wake him up. He was to go riding with his siblings and Ariela, and Susan would not be pleased if he were late. He walked over to the curtains and pulled them open, letting the bright sun in and waking the King. He turned to the bed and saw the King start shifting.
"Good morning Edmund. You have a good hour before you must meet your family for the ride." The young King whirled towards the beaver looking absolutely terrified. The young man started muttering and Mr. Beaver moved closer getting worried about his king. As he got closer, he was able to understand most of the muttering.
"...beaver. Talking beaver. Oh god, Magic. Arthur's gonna go ballistic."
"Edmund, are you of good health?"
"Who's Edmund? I'm not Edmund!" He exclaimed.
"Then who are you, My Lord?" He asked slightly patronizingly.
"I'm Merlin!"
Guinevere was getting irritated. The council meeting had started nearly an hour ago and neither Arthur, Merlin, nor Gaius had shown up yet. They had started the meeting anyways, but she knew Arthur would be loath to miss this. As they finished up talking about the latest financial issue, she decided she had enough. She stood up and as she did, everyone else quieted.
"The King should have been here by now, I am going to look for him in our chambers. Wait until I return to resume discussing." Everyone nodded and Gwen strode from the room. She hadn't gotten far before Morgana joined her, followed by Alvina. The three strode into the royal chambers to find Arthur still happily sleeping. Morgana and Gwen traded eye rolls before Gwen walked over to her husband's side. She grinned at Morgana before ripping the large comforter off of him. He immediately recoiled and tried wrapping his arms around himself.
"Oh come on Arthur! You are over an hour late to the council meeting. Get up!" He immediately jumped up and looked around the room. His eyes landed on his sword which he quickly picked it up and pointed it at the girls.
"Who are you and where is this?" Gwen backed up fearfully.
"Arthur it's me, Gwen. You're in your room. Please, what's wrong?" The king backed away surprised and put down his sword.
"I am not this Arthur. My name is Peter Pevensie, High King of Narnia."
Oreius clobbered into the High King's chambers and stood in the doorway.
"Your Highness, the sun has risen and you have a ride with your family within the hour." The High King shifted under his blankets but otherwise ignored him.
"King Peter, Her Highness, Queen Susan will not be pleased if you are late." The man opened his eyes and the moment they landed on the centaur, he jumped up and backed away.
"Who are you?!" He demanded.
"It is I, Oreius. Are you alright, My Lord?"
"No I'm not alright! I've been brought to an unknown place against my will and and… you're not even human!"
"Of course I'm not human, you know that."
"How would I know that? I don't even know where I am."
"You are in Cair Paravel. King Peter-"
"My name is not Peter. It is Arthur Pendragon, King of Camelot."
"Mayhap we should take you to King Edmund, he shall sort this out." Having no other idea, Arthur followed the centaur, but not before nicking a sword off the stand next to the bed.
