Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin.

A/N: This is Gwaine's POV from chapter 1.


Everything hurts, every fiber of my being hurts. I hear a low mumble of words above me, and the hurt disappears slightly. The last thing I remember was Morgana trying to prey out where Merlin and Arthur was going. I think I told her, that I betrayed them. The voice above me shook a second then the words repeated. Again I felt better. Slowly I opened my eyes to see Percival's bright golden eyes above me as he again whisper those words. Again the pain receded. It seems like I have two great friends that been holding back on me on the whole magic thing.

"Percival, you have magic?"

My throat felt like ants were biting it when I whisper. Percival stopped, his face paling even more. Instead of answering, Percival just pulled me into a hug. I could feel his nod on my shoulder. Suddenly Percival let me go, and he stood up.

"I... I... I only use magic to help people, I swear."

I couldn't help but laugh. The idea of Percival willing hurt someone whom didn't deserve it was like saying that Merlin was having a secret love affair with Gaius and a unicorn. That is not happening. While Percival was huge, gentleness seeps from the man.

"We need to go after Princess and Merlin. Promise me, if we catch up you will use your magic to save Arthur."

I whispered softly, and tried to clear my voice, but it still feels like ants were biting it. Forcing myself up, I grinned at my huge friend. Instead of saying anything about taking me home into Gaius's train hands, he picked me up.

"I saw our horses over this way."

"Hey, do you know any party tricks with you magic?" I asked, trying not think about the fact that Morgana went after Arthur. Hoping that we will not be too late.

"If I'm going to heal Arthur, then I shouldn't use anymore magic until then."

"Make sense."

Everything will be okay. I know it, if Percival has magic and if I'm right that Merlin does, Princess is in good hands. As long we beat Morgana to them.
