Hello readers :)
Here is the next chapter. Pretty short, they will be so the next few chapters, but I try to update atleast twice a week to make it up to you :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin...(did you actually think I did?)
To trust an old physician
The next thing Gwaine remembered was waking up in Gaius chambers. He had a pounding headache and his first thought was:
'Oww, why do I have to drink' and then he suddenly remembered that it wasn't the alcohol that had done this to him, it was Merlin! Or…wait a second, how could Merlin have done that? Gwaine wondered if it really wasn't the alcohol anyway. But still, Merlin had said that they were in the claws of Morgana, and that it was real. But at the same time, if that really had been Merlin…then he must have magic! Or it was just a trap set by Morgana.
But it had really sounded like Merlin, and he had sounded so desperate. Gwaine had to talk to someone about this, but who? Who would actually believe him and not just think that he had drunk too much. Again. The answer came walking in trough the wooden door.
"Hello. How are you Gwaine?" Gaius asked. "What happened? I found no physical injuries. Did you drink too much?"
Gwaine knew he could trust Gaius, but would Gaius believe him, he had always been the closest one to Merlin after all? There was only one way to find out, so without a second thought Gwaine threw himself, head first, like he always did, in good and evil, in to this…he didn't know what to call it…thing…talk…talk-thing. Yes, it was a talk-thing he had to do with Gaius (Secretly Gwaine loved to make up words, one of his favorites was 'drunting' which basically meant 'drunken-fighting'. He often practiced 'drunting')
"Are you okay?" Gaius asked, as he saw how Gwaine trailed off into thoughts, his eyes looking far away. Gwaine was jerked back to reality by Gaius voice and answered:
"Sure, now I am. But it was so weird. You got to believe me, Gaius, this was not a dream, and I wasn't even drunk. Or at least not much." The last bit he just mumbled, before he continued. "Anyway, I was on my way back to my room, walking along Percival, when I felt this strange feeling. I didn't know what happened, but I know I fell to the floor, I shook uncontrollably but I couldn't help it. I know Percival carried me here, I was aware of everything going on around me, but yet it felt so unrealistic."
Gaius looked concerned. "Are you sure you didn't drink too much?" He asked.
"No, but that was not the weird part. So I was in the hands of Percival, him carrying me to you, and I was aware of everything around me, but then I heard a voice." Gaius raised his eyebrow but Gwaine continued "It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. It was like a thunderstorm in my head. Then I saw the man who the voice belonged to, in my head. It was Merlin." Gwaine grew quiet when he saw Gaius face expression. The man had become all of sudden pale in his face, and he was shivering a bit.
"Wh…what did Me…Merlin say?" He stuttered. It was all he managed to say, he was in almost shock.
Gwaine did of course notice this but he continued anyway.
"He said something about him and Arthur being in danger, in Morganas claws in a fort beyond the forest. That he needed Strength, whatever that is supposed to be. And that I had to trust him." Gwaine drew a deep breath, and continued "And that he was sorry I had to find out this way."
"Do you know what he meant?" Gaius asked, now back to his normal self, but Gwaine, he was a knight after all, noticed that he was still very pale.
"Not really, but I know one thing, and that is that I need to rescue them. All the other details can I think about later. You do believe me, right Gaius?"
" I sure do, Gwaine, but I don't know what the queen and the other knights will think. I am afraid maybe you will have to do this alone."
"I am going to speak to Gwen, but Merlin is my friend, and I kind of like the Princess to, and if I have to quit my job for them, then I will do so." And with those words Gwaine left Gaius chambers to talk to the queen.
