The Plagues
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin
AN) I got this from the Prince of Egypt's song the Plagues. And from a youtube video the plagues set to Merlin clips.
Merlin lay in his bed quietly. Arthur gave him the day off because it was his wedding night last night. Not that Merlin wasn't appreciable it was just that he now realized he had nothing to do. It was near noon and he was bored out of his mind. Finally he stood and walked out of his room. "I'm going to the palace Gaius." Merlin said walking to the door. "Why you have the day off?" Gaius asked. "I need to do something."Merlin mumbled heading out the door. Gaius shook his head. Merlin walked to the royal kitchens and picked up Arthur and Guinevere's lunch and walked up to Arthur's Chambers. He placed a congratulations letter on each of the plates to congratulate the wedding of his friends. He crept up to the door and placed their food on the ground and knocked on the door. He could hear whispers from the other side and quickly hid around the corner. Arthur opened the door and looked around. Then he spotted the food. He picked up the plates and walked back in his chambers. Merlin then went to the stables, though it was his least favorite chore he did it anyways. After that he cleaned Arthur's armor, moved Guinevere's things from her house to her new chambers. Placing her dresses in the closet and put everything where it was as if it were in her house. To top it off he had went to the market and bought her flowers, their colors shone brightly in the room, blues purples and whites. He put them next to her bed in a vase. Standing by the door he smiled, "Perfect." he said to himself and walked out. Merlin found himself face to face with an angry looking king. "Merlin." Arthur snarled. Merlin took a step back wide eyed. "What did I do?" Merlin asked. "Why are you here?" Arthur growled. "Um.. I.. Uh.." Merlin stuttered pointing to the door behind him. Arthur shot him a glare and marched in the room. Merlin followed suite head bowed. For a second Merlin thought Arthur was going to pass out. "You aren't going to faint on me are you?" Merlin asked looking at his friend. "No, of course not. I'm not a girl, Merlin." Arthur joked. "So you're not mad?" Merlin asked. "No." Arthur smiled. "Then why did you look so angry?" Merlin asked. "I gave you a day off, out of the kindness of my heart. And you decide to work. Then when I have you working where do you go? The tavern." Arthur said. Merlin smiled. "I was bored." He said with shrug. Arthur grabbed Merlin's head and rubbed his knuckles against it. "Ow. Ow stop. What did I do? OW." Merlin shouted. Arthur let go. "well if you insist on working you can clean the stables." Arthur said and turned to walk away. "I already cleaned the stables." Merlin said. "Clean my armor then." Arthur said. "I did that too." Merlin called after the retreating king. Arthur stopped and faced his servant. "What didn't you do?" Arthur asked. "Um train with the knights, get the clobbered 'round the head, and clean your room. All of which I really don't want to do."Merlin said. "Go back home. There will be a banquet tomorrow. You will be there, and not at the tavern." Arthur joked. Merlin smirked and retreated.
Merlin woke up especially early and went to Arthur's chamber's. He sighed, Gwen was going to be there, "Well the sooner she gets used to it the better." Merlin said to himself. He opened the door and walked over to the window. Taking a breath he threw open the curtains and shouted. "GOOD MORNING YOUR MAGISTIES!" Gwen shrieked and Arthur fell out of bed. "Merlin don't do that!" Gwen scolded him with a hand over her heart. Merlin smiled his goofy smile. "Sire I will retrieve your clothes after I get her highness to her room to change. Unless your highness would wish me to retrieve a dress for you." Merlin said. "Just go grab something, please." Gwen said in deep blush. Merlin ran to her room and grabbed a random dress and ran back. Merlin smiled and left the two royals dress. When they were done changing Gwen stepped out. "Merlin don't call me your highness, its Gwen." she said. "Well Gwen do you want to see your room? I prepared it myself." Merlin said offering her his arm. " I don't think I will ever understand you Merlin." she laughed taking his arm. Merlin showed her her new room and she gave him a huge hug. The rest of the afternoon went like all the other banquet days. Merlin wrote Arthur's speech. He helped Arthur change into his banquet clothes, got a few thing thrown at him, and helped the other servants prepare for the banquet.
Arthur stood in the shadows of the dining hall only reviling himself when Arthur's goblet was empty. The atmosphere was filled with joy. Gwen and Arthur were chatting cheerfully as Gwaine and Elyan were in an airy argument (fighting over who would get to be the godfather). Merlin smiled now he just needed the law against magic to be lifted and everything would be perfect. All of a sudden the doors opened. Arthur straightened everyone who had been invited were there. A man, roughly 6'3 came into the room. He wore all black except two entwined snakes, Morgana's symbol. He carried a dagger attached to his belt. Merlin stepped forward still hidden in the shadows but closer that if he needed to he could protect Arthur. Then four more men entered the room all looking the same as the first, excepting hair color and height. "Svelt, Arthur." the first man said. Taking out his dagger. "Culter, ic pe hate!" Merlin shouted moving in-front of the dagger. It stopped and landed on the floor with a clank. "Floge min bebod." the first man shouted. Merlin threw his hands in front of him and the spell rebounded and two of the men collapsed dead. Merlin saw one of the three remaining men start to say a spell. "Forbairn ypile." Merlin shouted quickly and the man became surrounded by fire. The man too died in screams. By this time Percival, Gwaine, Elyan, and Leon all came to their senses. They jumped up ant killed the last two remaining men. Merlin turned around to Arthur who glowed with anger. "Guards. Merlin you are under arrest for sorcery and will be executed by burning at the stake." Arthur said cooly. "Arthur." Merlin said as the guards took is arms. "Arthur let me explain. Arthur Arthur!"
