Okay so basically the other Merlin and Arthur are now to be called Prince Merlin and Servant Arthur. Crisis averted. The idea for Prince Merlin is that he is still a pretty cool guy, but being a prince has gone to his head a little.
"Okay, first of all, is that even possible? And second of all, if what you say is true, how can you prove it?" Prince Merlin asked. Arthur looked at Merlin until Merlin sighed and said, "Based on your reaction to our claim, is it right of me to think that magic is allowed in the kingdom?"
"Of course magic is allowed in my kingdom boy! This place is practically run by magic." Balinor stated proudly. Merlin let out his breath; that would make this much easier. "And I assume that, umm," Merlin stuttered over his words before trying again. "And I assume that the other me has magic?" Prince Merlin looked appauled that anyone would question his magic. "Of course I have magic!" Merlin simply nodded his head toward the Prince.
"Can't you just test the likeness of the magic?" Balinor asked. "That in turn should demonstrate that likeness between you." Merlin thought about it for a moment and then dismissed it. "No that wouldn't work because the magic of each person is shaped by experience as well as origin."
Arthur simply looked confused. "What does he mean by 'testing the likeness' Merlin?" Merlin turned to him and began to explain.
"Everyone has different types of magic. It may be able to do the same thing but when at its purest it will give off a color and form a shape or an animal or an object. When magic is put out at its purest it also vaires in size. This demonstrates the power of the magic user. Normally magic is only displayed like that in a competition, to show its strength. Barely any magic users have the same object and the colors never quite ma-. Wait! If our colors match it could prove our story!" Merlin began to smile.
"Okay then, lets do the test thing." Arthur said impatiently. "One last thing Arthur. If the magic is too big for the space it could do serious damage." Merlin said seriously. Balinor laughed. "No one could every have magic so big it could fill this huge hall! The largest magic heart I have ever seen is my Merlin's, and his only stands as tall as his head!"
"Magic heart?" Arthur asked. "It is what the magic is called in that form, because it is showing the 'heart' of the person's magic." Merlin replied. "Oh." Arthur said. "Alright then, lets get started. If his magic is only as tall as him yours can't be that much bigger."
Merlin sighed. "Okay, I am actually curious as I have never done this before. Should we do it on the count of three?" Balinor nodded and began to count, "One, two, three-"
The room was filled with the color of rich, pure gold. As Prince Merlin stood with his golden unicorn, the rest of the room stared in awe at Merlin's magic. It was a dragon, and it filled nearly half of the hall, breathing golden flame that dissolved into the air with the smell of fresh grass, magic, and something so undeniably Merlin. Arthur gasped at it, it was like seeing the sun after living in a cave. He could not believe Merlin had hid this from him for so long.
As the hearts began to flow back into their creators, Balinor took a shakey breath and sat back onto his throne. "I did not believe it possible, but now I have seen it with my own eyes." The rest of the room just stared at Merlin as he shuffled his feet. "Uh, suprise?"
I know it might seem as though Merlin is some sort of all powerful superhero, but that was not my intention. Merlin just had a powerful destiny and to complete it he in turn has powerful magic, and he knows it. Just clearing things up :)
