Fear pt.2
Hello, hope you are having a good day.
Merlin shivered in Rodor's arms. Rodor went into one of the chambers and put Merlin on the bed. Mary was behind him. The court physician came in with his assistant.
"Mark, build a fire. This boy is shivering to death. Then bring some blankets." The physician said. Mark nodded. The physician checked Merlin over.
"Is he ok, Thomas?" Rodor asked.
"He's ill and in shock. He has a broken arm and several broken ribs. This was a trauma for him. It'll take him time to recover enough to tell us what happened." Thomas explained. Merlin was shivering a lot. Then Mark came with some blankets. They covered Merlin up and treated his wounds. Merlin moaned in pain. Then Rodor went to Mary. Mithian came in and went to Merlin's side.
"What's your name?" Rodor questioned.
"Michael." Mary answered.
"Michael, can you tell me what happened?"
"We were in the woods picking herbs. I told him that we should go back to Camelot but he didn't listen. He told me to find some yarrow. I did as he said. Then I heard screaming and ran to Merlin. When I found me, he was on the ground in pain. The Saxons that attacked him were dead. He told me that we need to come here because it was closer. I helped him get on his horse and then we came here. Before we got here I started realizing that he was in shock. Will he be ok?"
"He's strong. Why were you with him?"
"I'm his servant."
Then Rodor went to Mithian.
"Something's going on. I know it. Merlin would never have a servant. An apprentice yes but a servant no. I saw Merlin look at Michael. He looked angry and terrified. Something's wrong." Mithian whispered.
