He looked and saw that Merlin had done it and was starting to wake up. Arthur smiled and grabbed Merlin's hand. Merlin started moving and then he opened his eyes.
"Arthur, what happened?" Merlin moaned.
"You were dying. You were almost in a coma. You scared us." Arthur cried.
"Where's Gaius?"
"I'll go get him. Just relax."
"Ok."
So Arthur went out. Gaius, Gwen, and Morgana were in the main room.
"He's awake. He wants to see you, Gaius." Arthur happily exclaimed. SO they all went in to see Merlin who was in bed awake. Gaius went to Merlin's side and checked him. When he was done he smiled.
"He'll be ok. All he needs is time and rest." Gaius answered happily.
"Hey, Merlin, do you want anything?" Gwen asked calmly.
"Something to eat. I'm starving." Merlin answered.
"I'll see what I can do."
So Gwen went to get supper at the palace kitchen. Some servants brought food to Gaius' chamber. They all sat in Merlin's room and ate.
"How long till Merlin is able to get back on his feet?" Arthur asked.
"A few weeks." Gaius sighed happily.
"What?! I have to stay in this bed for that long?" Merlin yelled.
"Yes, now eat your supper."
Merlin groaned in anger. He ate his supper. When he finished eating he fell asleep. A few hours later, Merlin had a nightmare. Gaius heard Merlin screaming and went to him. Merlin was in bed thrashing and screaming. Gaius grabbed Merlin's arms gently and shook Merlin. After several minutes, Merlin stopped screaming. He sighed and fell asleep. Gaius stayed by Merlin's side. Several minutes later, Merlin woke up. He looked up at Gaius and then tried to sit up. Gaius helped him. Merlin leaned against the pillows and relaxed.
"You have a slight fever. Do you want anything?" Gaius asked quietly.
"I'm fine." Merlin replied.
"Get some sleep."
"I can't. I'm so scared. I don't want to dream. I can't sleep."
"Do you want something to help? Maybe. Will I dream?"
"No."
"Ok."
SO Gaius got a vial of potion that would help Merlin sleep. Merlin drank it and fell asleep. AT dawn, Merlin started having a fever.
