Forgiveness
A/N This popped into my head this morning and begging to be written especially because I was thinking about Merlin.
This is set after the last episode Le Morte De Arthur and one of my fave episodes besides The Dragon's Call.
It has a lot of Great Dragon/Merlin interaction in it since I like those moments in the show when they do interact because they understand each other because Merlin is still learning about his powers and the Great Dragon is like a mentor to him but the last few minutes of the last episode inspire me to write and imagine what would happen next.
I hope people and fellow Merlin fans enjoy.
It's only an one shot for now but if people like and enjoy, I will go on.
The Great Dragon sighed as he lay on the floor of the secret dungeon.
He hadn't seen or heard a word from Merlin since trying to save both his mother and Gaius from death but hoped the young warlock would come.
"Maybe I shouldn't have been mad at Merlin.
He just wanted to save those he cares about but I shouldn't have snapped at him but I haven't shown my emotions since that brute Uther locked me in here." he thought sadly.
A tear fell from his eye and hit the hard, cold floor........
"Merlin........." a voice said in the young warlock's head as he woke up with a start.
It'd been a while since he'd stopped Nimouh and saved both his mother and Gaius from death but sighed sadly because he'd never meant to make the Great Dragon, his mentor and teacher angry because he had wanted to protect his mother and Gaius from death but he hadn't been in the Great Dragon's dungeon for a little while but felt guilty but Gaius noticed he was distracted somehow.
"Merlin is everything okay?" the older man asked.
He nodded in reply.
"Yes but I feel guilty about angering the Great Dragon.
He thinks that by saving my mother and you, I was endangering my destiny.
I hope he's okay." Merlin answered as Gaius sighed.
He knew why the Great Dragon cared so much about Merlin and only wanted to protect the boy because he reminded him of Elican, Merlin's father who'd been the Great Dragon's only friend and had helped him grow into a wise and noble sorceror but he'd told the Great Dragon that he wouldn't tell Merlin about his father yet but Merlin heard crying in his mind along with Gaius.
"Gaius did you hear that?" Merlin asked as Gaius nodded in reply.
"Yes I did Merlin.
He's upset and alone." the older man told him as Merlin realised it had been the Great Dragon crying.
"We should go see what's wrong." Merlin answered as Gaius nodded.
"Go ahead.
I'll be there later." Gaius said as the young black haired warlock nodded leaving.......
