Hey this is an idea I wanted to try out on you guys. What if protecting Arthur wasn't just Merlin's destiny? What if it was something more? I love the Pairing Arthur/Merlin but am not very good at slash so this is my way round it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Anything to do with Merlin. Or any other song etc that may or may not come up in this story.

WARNING! Sort of contains slash (You'll see what I mean later on). If you do not like this sort of stuff then please do not read this story.

Merlin tossed and turned in his sleep. The rain had kept him awake for the last two hours and he had finally dropped off only to fall into a fitful slumber dreaming of Arthur and the events that passed when he was poisoned.

Closing the book Gaius sighed and turned back on his stool to stare at the closed door. Knowing that Merlin was trying and most probably failing to sleep he turned back to his desk and think of a way to stop Nimueh from attacking again. Letting out a frustrated groan Gaius thought of the boy, which he had come to consider as a son and the dangers that lie ahead. He also thought of the stubborn Prince whom Merlin had befriended and how close and strong their relationship seemed to have grown in such a short space of time. Standing up stiffly and stretching his muscles Gaius went of to bed thinking of Merlin and Arthur and what was to become of them. Turning out the light he closed his eyes to dream of Golden haired boys and pale brunettes with startling blue eyes.

Little did he know Merlin and Arthur's lives and destinies were about to change forever….

Deep under the castle in caverns that lay buried deep the great dragon stirred. Raising his head to sniff at coming winds he sighed to himself.

"Ah… so the time has come for the Prophecy to happen ay?" stretching his wings he raised up into the air

"Well young Merlin it is time for your true destiny to be revealed" he boomed before taking a great breath and letting out an almighty roar that shook the whole castle.

The people preoccupying the castle above woke up screaming as the tremors shook the castle.

"What the-?" Uther yelled startled from his sleep.

Merlin however slept right through the tremors not even stirring as a faint golden glow began to form around his body…
