Disclaimer IDOM wish I did

Hi im back this is unrelated to my other merlin fic

This is my version of after the show ended but Merlin saved Arthur.

Here we go

Onwards

Standing under the tree he climbed as a child looking at the disturbed soil, a small carin was not how he

planned this day ending.

"Stupid bloody dragons I never should have got out of bed yesterday."

*********************************1 day ago****************************************

He was sitting on the edge of a river creating shapes out of water, humming to himself with Arthur and

Gwen tossing him suggestions on what to make next. It was perfect, absolutely perfect until he heard his

name on the edge of the wind. Blinking his eyes he awoke in his room the sun not yet fully up and groaned,

he was enjoying that dream to. Deciding he might as well answer the bloody flying lizard who woke him

he projected his thoughts.

"Yes im up, I hear you. What's going on now?."

"I am sorry young warlock but this matter is very urgent. Gather the physician and meet me at our

clearing inform the king you will be unable to tend to him."

"Kilgarrah, he is still mad at me over the whole lying to him bit. After what we all just went through can't

this wait? We just returned from Avalon yesterday."

"No it must be now. Timing is of the essence young one, I will be waiting."

Grumbling, Merlin got out of bed and dressed before heading into the main room where Gaius was just

starting the porrage to cook.

"Morning my boy, I did not expect you to be up how are you feeling?"

"Fine. I'm fine. Gaius? after we eat I am going to need you to tell the prat that I work for you today. Both

of us have been summoned by garrah and I don't want to deal with the kings reaction just yet.

"The dragon wishis to see me as well? Did he say why?"

"No just that it was very urgent."

"Well then, lets eat up and you pack what you think we will need and get our horses ready. While your

doing that I will go talk to the king."

**********************************birthright**************************************

Gaius stood outside the kings chambers trying to compartmentalize his thoughts and feelings. The last

time he saw Arthur he was lying on the forest floor with a sword wound in his chest, pale and bleeding,

his sky blue eyes full of pain, fear, but mostly anger. Setting his shoulders he reached out and knocked on

the door. A few moments later a smiling George opened the door.

"Ah George, is his highness awake yet? I need to speak to him."

Before the servant could answer a cold voice called out granting him entrance, he entered the room and

his eyes automatically focused on the young King he helped raise. Arthur was seated at the end of the

table eating his large breakfast. He was still in his night clothes bare chested, so Gaius could see the pink

raised flesh of his new scar that looked over 2 weeks old. When their eyes met he could only see that the

anger remained.

"Thank you George, I would like to converse with the physician in private."

"Yes sir, right away sir, your clothes are set behind the screen."

Gaius flinched at the cold steel in Arthurs voice and the use of his title, not his name. Once the door shut

and they were alone all the walls were dropped.

"So I see the lying warlock has taken it upon himself to avoid me. What do I owe for this visit? If your

here to try and explain everything then you wasted your trip. "

"No sire whatever the two of you decide has no bearing on my visit. I simply wished to imform you that

until further notice I would humbly request Merlins services as my assistance. I assume you would prefer

this as well?"

"He lied to me for 10 years! I trusted him with my every thought and feeling and he just kept lying. I

don't care about the magic, I understand his fear. It's the fact that he never trusted me over that fear and

let me get to know the real him and now he is a complete stranger to me. Was any of him, any of our

friendship real?"

"I could give you those answers but its not from me that you need them. Both of you need time and I feel

this separation will do you some good just please sire don't hate or blame magic for any of it that is all I

ask."

"I don't Gaius I just...yes, you can keep him as your assistance and no one is going to be killed. I have a

lot of desisions to make and a few laws to change but I am just honestly not sure if I have a best friend

anymore or if I ever did. You may go."

"Thank you sire even though you were healed I prescribe light duties for a few more days have George

apply your sparing ointment on the wound it still appears tender."

"I will thank you Gauis."

"Good day sire."

************************************birthright**************************************

They road to the clearing in silence simply enjoying each others company. Not a thing rose up to bother

them it was almost as if the earth itself decided to give them a break. Merlin pondered the dragons words

over and over trying to find some clue of why he was asked here. Looking over at his uncle he could see

the same thoughts passing behind the old mans eyes. The horses started to get twitchy so Merlin broke the

silence and suggested that they walk the rest of the way.

"Say, when was the last time you and kilgarrah spoke?"

"I think it was when Edwin usurped me. I asked him for advice about Uther and as you can guess

our views differed."

"Yea I bet. We are almost there don't worry I wont let him hurt you."

"I know my boy, I know."

They walked side by side into the clearing to find the large golden scaled body curled up like a lazy cat

sleeping in the sun rays. Before they could speak two deep pools of gold snapped open and focused on

them.

"Good your both here thank you for coming. The weave shuttered when the witch and the boy departed

the golden age is now here. Very well done young warlock you managed to overcome fate and fulfill your

destiny, I'm very proud of you."

"Ummm thanks I guess, but that can't be why were here?"

"No. You are correct you need to know that your destiny is complete. Arthur is king, he has his queen and

knights. Magic will so be free and his magical foes are gone. Your job is done you are now free to claim

the life you would have had if Arthur and the purge never occurred."

"No but...I am to help him unite the kingdoms and protect him were not there yet."

"You are incorrect that job falls to Emrys, the job of Merlin is complete."

"I am Emrys what are you talking about? I hate riddles."

"You are Emrys and yet you are Merlin, the future cannot accept the both of you. It is time to stop and

become Emrys Ambrose high magi, mouthpiece of the triple goddess, ruler of the druids your birthright

given to you by your father."

"Cannot accept both? what does that mean?"

"The man beside you can inform you about the rest do not fail me physician remember your oath. it is time."

"I understand great one."

"Good. goodbye Emrys until we meet again."

Merlin watched as the dragon flew away until he could no longer be seen. He turned to his uncle to

demand an explanation but choked on his words when he saw the tears falling from those gray eyes

without being asked Gauis spoke words he never wanted to say.

"I'm so sorry my boy but I have to kill you its time for you to die."

There we go chapter one what do you think should I keep going?
