super short chapter not much insperation today more should be up by tommarow or the day after that!
Arthur rode in front of his knights his gaze scanning for any sign of Merlin and Gawain, his focus was interrupted when one of his knights called out for him.
"Sir one of our scouts have spotted knights of Camelot heading our way" a teenage boy with red hair said as he entered the tent, the older man sighed and rose from the chair, "If you'll excuse me" the old man said as he hobbled out of the tent. Merlin turned to Gawain, "Do you think Arthur's with them?" Merlin asked hopefully, Gawain shrugged before replying, "I wouldn't doubt it"
after a few minutes of no one entering Merlin walked over to Gawain and helped him p, "We need to run" Merlin said in a hushed tone just in case some one was outside, "If you haven't noticed Merlin my leg...was shot...with an arrow!" Gawain huffed as he tried to keep his balance, Merlin frowned at him then peaked his head out of the tent spotting four bandits round the fire, "Restum Fortum" Merlin whispered the spell causing the bandits to fall asleep one fell face first one backwards the last two against each other, what Merlin didn't know was that Sir Fredrick saw him use magic from a safe distance.
Arthur brought his horse to a halt as he saw an old man and red headed teen walking there way, he quickly dismounted and walked to meet them. Arthur's eyes went wide and brought out his sword as the old man held up Merlin's red scarf in his left hand, "Put your sword down prince Arthur we mean no harm" The old man spoke as he lowered the hand holding the scarf back down to his side, "You have Merlin what about the other he was with Gawain a dark haired knight" Arthur asked as he sheathed his sword despite the quiet protests of Sir Leon, "Gawain..yes he is fine despite his left leg" the old man said as he stroked his chin, Arthur grit his teeth knowing it meant Gawain was hurt, "What did you do to him!" Arthur snapped. the red head stood protectively in front of the old man, "It is not our fault the man took the child and ran the bandits Fredrick is in charge of shot him with an arro-" he was cut off by an ear piercing scream, and with it the red head took off, "MORGAN!" the old man yelled after the kid.
"Let go of me!" Merlin screeched at the top of his lungs as he was yanked roughly by the hair, "Merlin!" Gawain yelled as he limped over and bashed Fredrick in the gut with his shoulder, as quickly as Fredrick went down he got up and grabbed a knife from a holster around his ankle and plunged it into the injured leg, Gawain screamed. "Fredrick stop!" Merlin and Fredrick both turned to see the red head had returned and he grabbed Fredrick by the arm and pulled him back. Merlin gulped as he felt his magic starting to over whelm him, the red head gasped as Merlin's magic brought a dozen swords and knives up into the air mere feet from Fredrick prepared to be launched into the man. Suddenly Merlin felt white hot pain filled his insides and Merlin screamed loudly followed by the clang of the wepons falling from the air, Merlin weakly turned his head to see Sir Ulrich his eyes golden as he muttered a spell after he finished Merlin's world went black and he fell back into Sir Ulrich's arms.
Arthur ran after the kid only arrive after the display of Merlin's magic, he watched as Merlin fell back into Sir Ulrich's arms whom Arthur recognized after many training sessions with the man, he also noted Sir Ulrich's eyes turn from bright gold back to there normal honey brown, his gaze snapped to Gawain who groaned as regained conciousness.
Gawain despite the burning pain in his leg crawled to sir Ulrich hitting the man successfully knocking him out, he grabbed Merlin's arm and pulled Merlin into his, "Wake up Merlin!" Gawain yelled not noticing Arthur approaching since he was too preoccupied with Merlin.
Arthur approached then got on his knees next to Gawain who finally noticed his presence, "Took...you...long enough...P-Prat" they both laughed as they looked down at Merlin who's eyes where filled with a mixture of pain and happiness the happiness from seeing arthur no doubt and Gawain alive, "Shut up Merlin and stop grinning like a bloody idiot" Arthur said.
"Arthur" Merlin croaked after a few moments of silence, "Shut up Merlin!" Arthur said more sternly, "W-Where's my scarf?" Merlin groaned smiling lightly as Gawain and Arthur laughed at him.
