Ganondorf is resurected, but since many years have past, the old sage of light has chosen a new sage: Merlin. Merlin has been given the ancient scroll of light, and only he and the other sages know about Ganondorf. But Ganondorf have a plan: to kidnap the warlock and take his power from him, now Merlin has to stop him by reunite with the other sages and on the same time keep Arthur safe.
Prologue: The rising of the evil
Merlin was standing in the middle of a midow, a green haired girl sat on a tree stump in front of him. "You can feel it, can't you?" she paused for a moment, "Ganondorf is being resurected, and the evil are once again trying to reign over the world." Saria told him. Merlin slowly let his gaze fall on the Forest Temple and sighed quietly, "Yes. It looks like we are gonna have to defeat him once more" he said calmly, his eyes not showing any fear. Saria looked at him, "You have to be careful, Emrys. I got a bad feeling about this, a very bad feling." she said, her eyes showing a little bit of worry.
"Merlin!" he heard someone say, the voice full of annoyance. He turned around, almost crushing right into Arthur. "Ah, sorry sire. I was just thinking about something." Merlin told the prins hastily. Arthur just sighed, not really caring. "I need you to clean my armor, feed the hourses and clean my room." he said before walking out of his room, probably to train. Merlin thought about what Saria had said for a wile before starting with his chores.
A few hours later...
Merlin was just done cleaning Arthurs room when the prince walked in, and Merlin immediately got a bad feeling but he ignored it. "I need you to pack the bags and make the horses ready, we are going to hunt a wolf that have been destroying travelers merchandises." He said before turning around to walk away, "Be ready in 15 minutes." he said before dissapearing. Merlin hurriedly packed everything, saddled the horses, and met Arthur outside. "You're late, Merlin." Arthur said, but just gestured for Merlin to sit up on his horse. As fast as Merlin sat on the horse Arthur started to rode away, he urged on the horse until he was almost beside Arthur.
Time skip
Arthur trew the dead wolf over his shoulder, Merlin couldn't help but to feel that something was wrong. It was quiet, too quiet. He glanced at Arthur, who was sitting up on his horse, ready to go. Merlin relaxed a little, but was rudely interupted from his thoughts by Arthur. "I'd rather be home before tommorrow, Merlin." Arthur sarcastically commented, annoyed at his quiet servant. "Of course, sire." Merlin replied. Arthur looked over at Merlin, his face showing his surprice but Merlin had his back to him. Merlin quickly got up on his horse, wanting to get home as quick as possible. Arthur urged on his horse and Merlin followed, hoping that his bad feeling would dissapear.
Time skip, again... (A/N: Sorry!)
Merlin stepped out of Arthur's sleeping chamber, the sun had already dissapeared behind the horisont and the moon glowed red. "Wait, red?" Merlin thought, he turned around and the sight made him scream. Before him was a black shadow stretching out from the wall, it's red eyes staring at him and making him unable to move. It reached its arm after him, grabbing him by the neck, and he felt weak. He wanted to scream, to kick it and run away, but his body wouldn't move. The shadow squeezed harder and Merlin went limp, the shadow reaching out its other hand and grabbed him before he fell. Suddenly the door opened and Arthur stood in the opening, "Merlin, I swear if y-" he started but stopped himself when he saw Merlin laying limp in the arms of the shadow. The shadow glared dangerously at him, but he just grabbed e closest sword and attacked it. The shadow dropped Merlin and fled, angry for returning to its master without the boy. When Arthur couldn't see anything dangerous he quickly went over to his manservant, checking his pulse. He let out a sigh of relief when he felt it, and slowly lifted Merlins limp body. Only ten minutes later he was standing before Gaius' house.
