The muse really can't wait.

Character: Merlin

Relationship: Merlin and Camelot


Red


Blood and Fire


Red was skinned knees, split lip, bloody nose, for the village bastard, the color of pain, but it was also the glow of embers at night, he and Mother, safe, warm, together. Red was Camelot, bloody or fiery death for being born as he was, the color of fear, but it was also Arthur, his friend and king and destiny, a brotherhood in all but blood and forged strong in fire. Camelot red—Arthur—was a desire to protect burning in his veins. Honor, justice . . . death. Red would always be a contradiction, a conflict within him, but it was home.
