The sun was setting over Camelot, birds were flying back to their nests fleeing from the heavy darkness that was yet to come. In a dusty room a boy, no older then twenty was sitting on his bed in deep thought.

He going over the days events. Not only had he lost his friend, but he also nearly revelled to Arthur about his gift.

Merlin sighed into his hand, what would have happened if Arthur didn't believe Will? Would he have turned him into his father for execution? Merlin shook his head hard. No, he was being silly Arthur was his friend, he would not turn him in.

His eyes started to feel heavy. His head started to cloud up. Slowly, Merlin lowered his head onto his pillow and started to drift off to sleep.

"MERLIN" a voice bellowed, unmistakably Arthur's.

It was late and they had just got back to the castle, both were so tried that they could have slept on their feet if needed.

"MERLIN"

Merlin sighed "Yes sire?"

"When were you going to tell me you are a sorcerer?"

Merlin was sure that his heart had skipped a beat. A million thoughts when through head. The most scary of which, was what if Arthur challenged him to a fight here and now? He knew that the only way he would get out of this alive. Magic.

"erm" Merlin answered carefully while looking at the floor.

Arthur started to laugh. Looking up from the floor, Merlin stared into his masters eyes and spoke.

" Am I missing something? Its just that you are laughing"

" Oh come on Merlin ,like anyone would believe that a skinny little man like yourself could be a powerful sorcerer."

Merlin was so shocked, for a second he thought that his life and destiny was over. Starting to feel angry he decided to say the one thing that would make him feel better.

"Arthur you royal prat!"

Merlin work up with a start, it was only dream. He remember that Will did take the blame for magic and Arthur believed the lie. Smiling he got out of bed and got dressed. On the way to Arthur's rooms he decided one very important thing that he was to tell Arthur.

"Arthur, you know you a royal prat right?"

THE END.
