Chapter 2: Scars

Leon's P.o.V

Leon had always been close to Merlin since Morgana's second takeover of Camelot, but he never could place a finger on why, but now he knew, Merlin was Arthur's brother, and the other knights himself included now knew that Merlin was Arthur's brother, but not the way they thought, Merlin and Arthur were biological brothers, which means that Merlin didn't even know he was royalty, and now he would find out while he was at death's door. "Sire, if I may ask...where and when did you find this out at?"
"While I was visiting father, he was saying something about how he loved to watch his son, at first I thought he was talking about me, but then I found out a few days later that Merlin goes through the area of the courtyard that s in view of the kings quarters, and I noticed that he would always look out the window when I visited, when I one day asked if it was me he was talking about, what he had said confirmed it, he said that when I was born I had a brother as well, but he was born with magic."
Suddenly they all head it, they had been listening to Merlin's breathing and the knew that it had been starting to slow, Arthur was the first to rush to his side, holding him up to see if it was his position but he still hadn't been breathing, they all instantly noticed that his tunic had been stained, and by the smell, they knew it was merlin's life the knights all agreed to inspect his wounds, they all lifted his tunic, and all the could see on his chest were scars, everywhere, and by the looks of the wound they knew that if Merlin would survive, then a new one would be joining the amassed army of closed up wounds, they all knew what to do,
Gaius would not allow them to leave without a physician know how, like to apply honey to draw out infection, or how to sow it up properly and to mix certain herbs to help it heal and Gaius also told them that when it came to Merlin, to use a potion that he had lied about having toad paste, marrow and, shavings of a dying unicorn's horn.
they had done precisely what Gaius had told them to do when it came to Merlin, and that any wounds he has if deep enough should be healed/scarred over by morning, and now with the whole ordeal over with, Gwaine was the first to speak. "Now princess...could we continue your explanation?"
