Gaius made sure that Merlin was fast asleep, and to be sure drugged him.

Then he went to find Arthur, finding him in his room, pacing.

"Sire" said Gaius as he walked into the room.

"Gaius? Is Merlin okay?" asked Arthur, stopping his pacing to look at the elderly physician.

"Yes, but there is something I need to tell you" said Gaius.

"What?" asked Arthur.

"It's about Merlin" said Gaius.

"He has magic?" smiled Arthur.

"Yes ... wait ... what?" asked Gaius.

"I know, found out two weeks ago. Seems that the amount of knocking to my head has made me immune saw him greet a unicorn, after killing a creature I cannot even mind the name off" said Arthur.

"Why haven't you told him?" asked Gaius.

"Scared he ran away from me. So I've been dropping hints that I like magic now" smiled Arthur.

Gaius thought for a moment: "Fair enough."

"Now, can I hear about what he has done, or name a few?" asked Arthur and both men got comfortable at the table.


Arthur stood at the Round Table, each of his Knights sitting down in their respected seats, the ones from so long ago.

"Anyway, Merlin has magic" started Arthur.

Gwen gasped and covered her mouth. The alcohol Gwaine was drinking was spat all over Percival, who was just sitting there wide eyed. Lancelot ducked his head and Elyan had a wide mouth.

"Anyway, that is all" said Arthur.

"Seriously?" asked Gwaine. Arthur nodded .

"Your telling us that little Merlin has something that is completely against the law and your saying that is all" said Gwaine.

"Yep, I found out ages ago" said Arthur.

"Your not going to do anything about it?" asked Gwen.

"Nope, and he can't even remember his magic so we need to keep an eye out for that, against the others" said Arthur.

"Others?" asked Elyan.

"Easy, my father's men" said Arthur.


The next day, Arthur walked into Gaius' chambers.

Merlin was sitting at the table, staring at a bowl.

"Merlin?" whispered Arthur.

"Yeah?" asked Merlin, still staring at the bowl.

"Gaius said we could take you out" smiled Arthur.

"We?" asked Merlin, finally turning to look at Arthur.

"Myself and the other knights" said Arthur.

"Oh ... er ... okay"said Merlin and he got up to follow Merlin.


An hour later, they were halfway through the wood when Merlin felt something in the bottom of his stomach and he sensed he had to go right.

He suddenly turned his horse right and galloped through the wood until he had reached a clearing, he could the others yell and chase after him.

Merlin dismounted and walked forward a bit.

The others followed him, when Arthur got to him, he eyed Merlin to see if he had hurt himself.

"Wow" whispered Gwaine and Arthur turned to where he was looking.

The Great Dragon landed just in front of them.

All the Knights and Merlin were staring at them with their mouths wide open.

Arthur nodded at the dragon.

"May I put him to sleep?" asked the Dragon to Arthur.

"Sure" said Arthur and the Dragon breathed a golden dust over Merlin.

Merlin fell to the ground, Arthur only catching him only in time.

"Now, let's get down to business" said the Great Dragon.
