Hello lovely people who are reading this story.
Please drop a review. I would like to know what you think about this one.
Just so you don't forget. I don't own Merlin. And the spells used in the story are from Merlin so I don't own then either.
Now onto the story. Upwards and onwards!
Fifteen years' old
In Camelot:
"Where have you been going recently?" Uther asked his son as they ate dinner. Arthur sighed as he took another bite of his food. "Once again father I have just been training on my own" Arthur told and continued to eat. Uther took a bite of his food before he asked "I need you to be serious about your training I don't know when Balinor will attack with his army of sorcerers! They will turn the natural order into chaos" Arthur had heard the speech before. "I know father" he replied and stood up. "Thanks for the food I will go to bed so I can be well rested and train harder tomorrow" Then he walked back to his room. Uther waved a guard near and told his to get sir Leon.
"You called for me your Highness" Leon said as he kneeled down before the king. "Sir Leon I want you to follow my son tomorrow when he goes to train by himself" the king told him "If he is in any danger you are allowed to step in. However, if there is nothing to fear you will not interfere and Arthur will never know that you were there." The knight nodded and left the throne room to prepare for the next morning.
In Elador the next day:
"Where are, you going Merlin?" Balinor asked as his son was about to leave the room. "Father I am going out to train my magic as always" Merlin answered the dragon lord. He then left the room almost bumping into Gaius who was entering the room. "Gaius, will you do me the favour of looking after my son today" Balinor asked the old physician "I am worried that he might be doing something dangerous and I trust you" Gaius bowed and left the room to follow the young warlock.
A while later at the place where Merlin and Arthur meets:
"Arthur, you go away from your father again" Merlin mentioned excited. His friend smiled and they sat down to talk. "How is it going with your father? Is it still easy to get away?" Merlin asked. Arthur let out a giggle. "He is starting to be worried that I am not training so I might have to train with the knights at some point soon" he told him. They both started laughing. "The same with mine" Merlin told "But the thing is that magic is easier to train alone than with a sword" Then Arthur stood up. "Want to help me train?" He asked his friend. Merlin nodded and stood up before taking a couple of steps back. Arthur then took out his sword.
Merlin's eyes flashed golden for a second and a branch from the ground flew towards Arthur. He avoided it but before any of them could do anything else Leon jumped out from the forest. "Prince Arthur what are you doing with a sorcerer?" he said and stepped in front of Arthur. Leon took out his sword and pointed at Merlin. "What are you doing here Leon?" Arthur asked the knight as he stepped away and in between the knight and his friend. "King Uther was worried about you" Leon told the prince "So he told me to follow and if you seemed to be in danger I would step in." Arthur was a little shocked "My father told you to follow me" he asked and stepped away from Leon and closer to Merlin. "Who is the sorcerer?" Leon asked with curiosity in his voice. "There is no need for you to know that" Arthur said defending his friend. Merlin would surely either be killed or captured if he found out that he was the only son of the dragon lord.
They then heard a sound from the bushes and an old man stepped out. Merlin turned around. "Gaius why are you here" he asked the old man. Arthur turned around and looked at Gaius. "Long time no see Gaius" He old man send Arthur a glare and asked Merlin. "Why are you meeting with Uther's son" Merlin looked Gaius in the eyes and answered "He is my friend" and then stepped in front of Arthur. "Your father would be furious if he found out that you were with the son of his greatest enemy" he told Merlin. Leon then realised just who the young man with Arthur was. "Step back Arthur" Leon told the prince "I will take care of this" and before Arthur could say anything Gaius also stepped forward. "You will then face me" he said and as Leon ran towards the old man Gaius yelled "Shieldan!" And Leon's sword an invisible shield. Leon swung once again and hit the shield. As he was about to hit the shield a third time Arthur grabbed Leon's arm and with Leon restrained for a little while Gaius grabbed Merlin's arm and said "Bedyrne ús! Astýre ús þanonweard." Both of them disappeared.
Leon the shook of Arthur's arm. "We are going bac to Camelot and the king will hear everything about this" Leon said. Arthur was about to protest but he saw the look Leon was sending him and he could not get a word across his lips.
In Elador:
"You were meeting with the prince of Camelot! How long have this been going on?" Balinor almost yelled at his son. How could this have happened? The son of the last dragon lord being friends with the son of the magic hating king. Was the boy crazy?
It seemed as if Merlin had shrunk. Even his voice seemed tiny. "We have been meeting since we were about eight years old maybe even younger" he told his angered father. Gaius was standing in the background. He wanted to help solve this but he knew that it was best to stay out of a fight between father and son. "Merlin from now on you will never leave Elador alone!" Balinor said and sat down in his chair. Angrily Merlin stormed out of there.
"Thank you for looking after him" Balinor said to his old friend. "Will you make sure that he never is alone?" Gaius nodded and left the room.
In Camelot:
"YOU HAVE BEEN SEEING A SORCERER BEHIND MY BACK" Uther yelled at his son "DO YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS" Arthur could not find anything to say. If it had not been Merlin, his childhood friend then he would have been I grave danger. However, Merlin had known about his father and had taught him that magic could be used for other things than evil. "Father, magic is not as evil as you always told me" Arthur tried to explain "Merlin have shown me so many things and he is the first real friend I got..." Uther then cut him off. "He has been deceiving you!" Uther told with a calmer voice "Magic took the life of your mother and many others" Then Arthur exclaimed "I know but Merlin told me that magic is like a sword. It is not dangerous in itself but if you want to you can kill but you do not have too"
"Enough" Uther said "You will go to your chamber and from today on you will not be leaving Camelot alone!" He then sat down and Arthur left the throne room.
