Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin

Normal speech

Telepathic speach

It had started of as a normal day, Gaius burst into the room and told him to get out of bed as he was late again. Merlin groaned and sat up, he quickly put on his clothes and rushed to the kitchens to get Arthurs breakfast and before he knew it he was outside Arthurs chambers balancing his breakfast.

"Oh so you finally turned up did you, needed your beauty sleep,"

Arthur turned round as Merlin entered the room.

"No of course I didn't prat, your breakfast is on the table,"

Arthur sighed and started to eat,

"Lord Rowan has arrived and is lacking a servant, I want you to attend to him until he leaves,"

Merlin looked up in surprise and horror,

"but sire couldn't another servant attend to him who will serve you,"

"George of course, I don't want to hear another word about it now go and you better be well behaved Lord Rowan isn't as nice as I am."

Merlin scoffed and left the room, he made his way to Lord Rowans chambers and knocked on the door. There was a crashing noise from inside then a deep voice spoke,

"Enter,"

Merlin opened the door and looked around.

"Are you alright my lord I thought I heard a crashing sound,"

Lord Rowan looked up, his black eyes seamed to pierce the very soul.

"No you were mistaken, come here boy. So you are the servant who will be attending to my every whim and you are King Arthurs servant none the less."

Merlin began to feel uneasy.

"Yes my lord can I do anything for you,"

"HOW DARE YOU SPEAK WITHOUT PERMISSION, COME HERE!"

Lord Rowan advanced on him and knocked him to the ground. Then continuously kicked him in the ribs, Merlin gasped for breath and curled up in a ball. As sudden as it started the beating stopped and Lord Rowan bent down and whispered in his ear.

"You are lucky that I still need you, if you tell anyone about this I will kill your precious guardian." Merlin's eyes widened and Lord Rowan continued, "I want you to meet me in my chambers at midnight and if you don't I will meet you, now LEAVE."

With that Lord Rowan stood and shoved Merlin out the door. Merlin stood in the hallway several minutes later when Gwaine bumped into him.

"Ah, Merlin you look like you've seen a ghost my friend, is Arthur working you to hard. Maybe you should come and have a drink with me."

"No, im sorry Gwaine I have things to do but I will see you later."

With that he rushed away. Why on earth would he want to see me, and what did he mean 'your lucky I still need you'. One thing Merlin knew was that he could not tell anyone. He would not risk Gaius' life. Before he knew it was almost midnight, his ribs were aching like he was on fire. He stumbled down to Lord Rowans chamber and knocked on the door. Enter Merlin, Merlin jumped in surprise, that was definitely Lord Rowans voice but only those born with magic could use telepathy. He cautiously entered the room, Lord Rowan looked up at him.

"Merlin you are a bad boy, I have been doing some research and it seem that you are not all that meets the eye. You are a Dragon Lord and have magic. The druids call you Emrys."

Merlin went pale. How could Lord Rowan know about it, it was impossible,"

No Merlin it is not impossible, you see I was born with magic just like you but it seems we use it for different purposes. Lord Rowan held up at vial of liquid, Do you know what this is Merlin, it is a potion that will allow me to control someone's will. As soon as they have drunk it their only desire is to serve the person who gave it to them and serving them will feel like the right thing to do, like it was meant to be. The best part is that it is irreversible and that is the drinker struggles it will only consume them even more. He paused and Merlin turned to run. Lord Rowan uttered some words and Merlin found himself bound in place, Lord Rowan strolled toward him vial in hand. Are you ready to serve me forever Emrys. Merlin pulled away as Lord Rowan pinched his nose.You will have to breath soon Merlin and when you do you are mine. Finally Merlin couldn't take it anymore, he gaped for breath and felt the potion being shove down his throat. Immediately he felt himself relax, why was he struggling against Lord Rowan. Merlin snapped back into reality. No Lord Rowan was bad, Lord Rowan was bad, Lord Rowan was bad. He kept chanting it in his head but to no avail. He suddenly found himself wanting to please Lord Rowan, he was a good man and no one else in the world mattered right now, only him.

Lord Rowan watched in satisfaction as Merlin struggled against the potion on the floor and finally it ended, Merlin sat up and his eyes glazed over.

"How may I serve you master?"

Lord Rowan smirked. Even the great and powerful Emrys had fallen under the influence of the potion.

"Stand my slave and bow before me,"

Merlin did just that.

"Now as soon as you leave this room you will act as normal and you will come and attend to me in the morning. Tomorrow at midnight you will come to my chambers again and stand in the corner, then you will await further orders, do you understand?"

Merlin nodded and bowed.

"Yes master, my only wish is to serve you and to please you."

Lord Rowan grinned for the first time in ages.

"Then go Merlin, I will see you tomorrow."

Merlin bowed once more and exited Lord Rowans chambers.
