Firstly, I do not own Melin. If I did, Merlin and Morgana have long fallen for each other.

Secondly, I'm a Malaysian so I'm not that good in English so I hope that you would forgive me for any grammar mistakes that I made. I would try to right my mistakes but not everything would be perfect.

And also, this is going to be MY version of Merlin. Although, I will keep the names and characteristics of the character.

ENJOY!

"Merlin! Merlin! MERLIN!" Merlin woke up startled by the voice that was calling him. He tried to remember where he was because the voice that called him was not his mother. Suddenly, he felt a rush of cold water right on his face. He sat up straight after getting hit by the cold water but his eyes were still half open.

"MERLIN!" Another shout came, but this time it was from another person. He immedietely bolted straight up realizing the voice belonged to Arthur. Arthur opened the door wearing his annoyed face.

"I see you're finally up. Now hurry up and follow me to my chambers!" Arthur ordered. Merlin scrambled towards his drawers to wear his morning attire for the day. But before that, he got into the tub of hot water that was prepared for him that morning but it was not that hot anymore because it was left for 30 minutes. After he finished his bath, he wore his morning attire which was a blue tunic and another layer of tunic which was red in colour. He wore his usual trousers and to top it off, he wore his favourite red handkerchief around his neck. After that, well, he practically ran towards Arthur's chambers which was on the other side of the castle.

Merlin knocked on the door before coming in.

"You sure took your sweet bloody time," Arthur stated, still wearing the annoyed face.

"Now hurry up and polish my armor. Don't forget my breakfast and also sharpen my sword. And..." The list went on, and on, and on untill he finally finished with "But don't forget to muck out the stables while your at it," Merlin's mouth was agape because of the long list that was given to him. Before he excused himself, Arthur called out to him.

"Do you know how to equip armour?" He asked. Merlin never equiped any armour before so he did not know. But to avoid any embarassment he answered "Yes, sire,"

"Good because next week, there would be a tournament and I am needed to join it. You will need to equip my armour for me. You can go,"

"Right away sire," After he was a few feet away from him, he started to talk to himself.

"What the hell am I going to do? I don't even know how to equip armour on myself, much less the prat. I need help. But who do I ask?" Suddenly, he remembered someone.

"Gwen! She is a blacksmith's daughter. She mush know how to eqiup an armour. Even if she doesn't, at least I would know where each piece of armour goes on where," Suddenly, he bumped into someone whom he guessed would be a woman because of the female grunt that emited from the mouth of the person. He got dizzy from the impact. A few seconds later, he was no longer seeing double and decided to help the woman. He did not see her face because her long black hair was covering it.

"Are you okay Miss? I am so sorry. I was not looking at where I going." He apologized.

"It's okay. I am fine," she answered with a calm voice. She straightend her hair and he finally got to see her face. Merlin jumped as he realized who she was and fell on his bottom. She laughed at Merlin's antics.

"I am sorry Lady Morgana. I did not know it was you,"

"No, it is fine. Really. I was also at fault because I too was not looking at where I was going," Merlin stood up and looked at Morgana's eyes. It was the most beautiful pair of eyes he had ever set his eyes upon.

"What is your name?" Merlin broke out of his trance and answered, "Merlin, my lady,"

"Well then Merlin. If you would stop looking into my eyes, I would be on my way now," Merlin blushed and let Morgana pass him. She smirked as she saw Merlin's blush and giggled. Merlin's heart beated faster hearing her giggle.

"She realized," he said to himself. He then continued on his way to complete his long list of tasks.

His tasks took all day to finish. He went to Gwen's house a few minutes later to learm how to equip a set of armour.

"This is the chest piece which goes onto the chest. These spaulders goes on the shoulders and these guards goes..." She averted her gaze and pointed to his manhood. Not wanting to embarass Gwen any longer, he took the pieces of armour and tried to wear them himself. He struggled even with the chest piece. Seeing him struggling, she decided to help him. After a few minutes, he was in full armour. He uneqiuped himself and thanked Gwen for her help.

"I would be back tommorow to practice," he stated. Gwen nodded and followed him to the door.

"Thanks again Gwen," He shouted as ran towards the castle.

That night, he completed a few more tasks that was given to him as he entered Arthur's chambers and went to his room to sleep.

"Merlin. Merlin," A voice called but it was not Gaius or someone he knew.

"Merlin," He got out of his bed and followed the voice. It lead him to a flight of stairs that lead him to an enormous cave.

"Hello?!" He called out. Suddenly he heard a roar and a dragon landed on a bit of earth that was in front of the platform that Merlin was on. Merlin jumped in shock and directed his stick of fire to the dragon.

"Relax Merlin. I am the one that called you," the dragon said.

"Y-y-you can talk?" He asked, clearly bewildered.

"Of course I can," the dragon stated as though it was obvious.

"You said that you called for me, why?" He asked.

"Because you are the one that the prophecy speaks of,"

"Prophecy? What prophecy?" The dragon explained the prophecy to Merlin but he still kept a few secretive lines from him.

"So what am I to do? I am not as good as the prophecy speak of. Heck, my name is not even Emrys,"

"Your name was, is and forever will be Emrys. In the tongue of the Old Religion, Merlin means Emrys," Merlin stood there dumbfounded. He asked a few more questions which involved him not being Emrys but the dragon managed to answer all his questions without hesitating.

"We dragons can see the future Merlin. And you are destined for great things in the future," Merlin and the dragon dicussed his actions which would make the prophecy come true but his main task was to keep Arthur alive so magic can return to the lands of Camelot.

"I need to go. It is almost morning. I'll get even more tasks if I keep Arthur waiting any longer,"

"It has been nice speaking with you Merlin,"

"And to you too... What was your name again?"

"You already know Merlin,"The dragon smiled which would have been nice to see if not for the row of sharp razor teeth. He was confused by that statement but decided to let it pass. He went to his chambers and slept for an hour before waking up again, getting ready for the next set of tasks that would be given to him.

Although I only got one review from the last chapter. Decided to update anyway.

ENJOY!
