Here we go
Onwards
Merlin watched invisible as Leon and Gwaine cried themselves to sleep, wanting nothing but to comfort
them. When Gwen, Arthur and Percy arrived the next day he had to spell himself silent so no one would
hear him sob, as each of his friends stood over his grave and one by one said their goodbyes.
***************************************birthright***********************************
Arthur stood like a statue in the wake of everyones tears and goodbyes he would not cry. His beautiful
wife professed her love and respect for her best friend, apparently Merlin had a lot of them. Sir Percival
spoke of the boys intelligence and bravery. Gwaine simply gave the grave a respectful bow, as one would
a king, saying more then words ever could. It was Sir Leon that surprized Arthur the most. His head
knight spoke of honor and devoation comparing his young friend to an knight Leon would follow to the
ends of the eirth. The king almost broke watching dear sweet Hunith, the closest thing he had ever had to
a mother collapse, weeping, begging the gods to return her baby boy to her. He said nothing as one by
one everyone left until he was alone with his best friend. Because they all might consider him their best
friend but Arthur knew out of everyone, he was Merlins.
"Well old friend how did it come to this? Did I ever really know you? Apparently each of us saw only
parts of you, did any of us know you as a whole? There is so much I want to ask you, so much I need to
thank you for. I would not be the man I am without you, nor would I have the love and support I do, so
from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I'm truly sorry for all your suffering these past 10 years that I
have caused you. Before you died I told you I forgave you but the thing is, there was nothing to forgive
you had done nothing wrong. You have been my punching bag, training dummy, sounding board and
voice of reason. You made me think and feel and more importantly understand the world around me and
the people in it. You taught me the meaning of honor and how to be my own man outside of my fathers
shadow. I might be a good king but you are the kingmaker and from now on every ruling I make I will
first ask the question 'what would merlin wish for me to do?' I owe you so much, more then I could ever
repay. Worry not I will look after your mother as if she were my own and you should know that when I
return home I'm lifting the ban. Magic will be free I just wish you were going to be around to enjoy it.
Goodbye my friend, say hi to Lancelot and Eylon for me. George might be a bootlicker but I will always
be your prat."

Gaius sat at the small wodden table watching his sister clean the same spoon for the third time. They
needed to talk with Merlin but had to wait until they would no be disturbed.
"Hunith, the spoon is clean. Come sit I wish to talk to your face not your back."
"Sorry Gaius its just so real I find myself..."
"I understand, I am having the same issue. You must know the king is going to confront you shortly."
"I know. I expect questions and I have every plan on answering him. On an unrelated note I have been
thinking of the new life idea and something Balinor did came to me that will fit the situation perfectly."
"Good because I was drawing a blank, we will run it by him tonight."
They both sat thinking of the new future for Merlin when Arthur (and a still invisible Merlin) entered the
house every inch of the king he was, then to Hunith surpirise, knelt at her feet and took her hands in his.
"Hunith, I just want to say I am truly sorry for everything and I know you must hate me for all the pain I
put your son through and I will do anything to make it up to you, please forgive me."
"Arthur Pendragon stop right now! Oh my boy, there is nothing to forgive. Merlin and I considered you
his brother and I have always considered you as my son from the first time I met you. Both of you are my
boys and nothing could ever make me love you less. I'm so proud of the man you've become and you
should be as well. Now stop beating yourself up over this, Merlin would want nothing but your happiness".
"In that case please come home with me, I need my family. You will be taken care of I will look after you."
"Oh my.. Umm may I have the night to think it over?"
"Yes of course, Hunith if you stay I will still look after you."
"Mom Arthur, please call me mom."
"Alright...mom..ill see you in the morning, goodnight Giaus."
"You as well sire."

A few hours later after making sure everyone was asleep in the barn, Merlin removed the spell and
slumped down the wall, holding a spell for 2 days was hard. He woke his family with a flash of gold and
dragged himself over to the table to sit and wait. Shortly thereafter he was no longer alone but wrapped
up in the loving arms of his mother.
"Oh baby, I missed you, so are you okay?"
"Yes mother im fine, a little tired but good. So I hope we can figure all this out tonight you leave for
Camelot tomorrow."
"Oh you saw that then, I don't know if I should go?"
"Mother please, I won't be around to look after you and Gaius needs a new assistant, plus the prat needs
someone like us around."
"He has got a point my dear. I have room and you have been my assistant before, it might be time to make
a real physician out of you."
"Then I guess thats my answer but now we should figure out your future."
"I've been so busy with the dieing thing I haven't even thought about it yet."
"Well its a good thing you have such a wonderful mother then. Now, your father was a dragonlord as you
know...""
"Yes Balinor Ambroise it took me dieing to learn my sirename what of it? I become Emyrs Ambroise I
already figured that part out."
"Yes my boy we know, don't interrupt your mother."
"Sorry mum."
"Ahem., well then, Ambroise was a noble house of Camelot and you father left me his seal and his signet
ring, as well as the key to his estate somewhere hidden in north. I never used it I was holding on to it
incase he ever came home, but after you were born I was going to give it to you when you were ready to
settle down."
"So, a noble, that would have been good to know."
"Merlin, Uther raided your family estate and removed all records of house Ambroise from the court. Your
father, myself and Geloris were his inner council like Arthurs knights. The purge happened and he asked
your father to take the same oath as me but he never understood dragonlords and why your father could
not stop using magic so he vewed him as a traitor."
Alright I get it if he ever knew I was an Ambroise he would have killed me. So now what? How does this
help?"
"Well my son, what if lady Emrys Ambroise decided that with the ban being lifted it was time for her to
return home?"
"Lady...oh no no way I prefer staying male thank you very much."
But Merlin, a male Ambroise is a dragonlord a female would not be. Any male form you take will still
have the your coloring your new appearance would be too similar to how you look now. As female dark
hair and blue eyes are common place and no one will connect you to your old self."
"Very well, I guess that this is goodbye for now please take care of eachother I love you both so much im going to
miss you guys."
"You as well son, here are your fathers things we will see you in a few months, love you."
