AN: I love you all! Really! This is my first ever fanfiction, but I got 6 Reviews, 7 Followers and 22 people put me as a favourite in the first 24 hours alone! And the funny thing? I signed up and made the story out of sheer boredom. Oh, well. I'll just have to continue. Can't keep my fan's waiting (Oh,I never thought I'd say that!)

Chapter 2
Merlin walked along the corridor, humming absent- mindedly to himself. It was a song Kilgharah had sang to him last night when they had met. He couldn't understand all the words but from what he did understand, it was about friendship, loyalty and trust.
He was in a good mood today. The sun was shining, Arthur was safe, no annoyed sorcerers were raging war on Camelot, and his dragon had told him he was doing a good job!
In fact,he was in such a good mood, he didn't notice the figure sneaking up behind him until it was too late.
"Heya, mate!" Gwaine said cheerfully, putting his arm around Merlin's shoulders.
"What?" Merlin asked warily
"What do ya mean, 'what'?"
"What have you done?"
"Oh, come on! Can't I just greet my friend out of happiness that I've seen him and not because of needing his help to get him out of a pickle?"
"Well," Merlin replied, shrugging off Gwaine's arm "You could-"Gwaine brightened considerably "-But then you wouldn't be you." Gwaine's face fell.
"Oh, alright. The princess wants me to tell you to take the day off."
"What?! Is he enchated again?"
"Again? I've not heard that one before."
"Arthur was enchanted and started acting nice to me, so I caught him and knocked him out before poisoning him so the spirit would leave and then giving him the antidote just in time."
"Cool!"
"Anyway, he's not enchanted?"
"No."
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"Okay!" Merlin immediately dropped the basket he was carrying and then ran down the corridor. Gwaine grinned to see Merlin in such a good mood. Then he turned around, picked up the basket of clean laundry Merlin had dropped, and went to explain to theprincess why he hadtold his manservent he could have the day off.
