Chapter 6
After a few minutes their magic finally settled but the connection Arthur and Merlin had shared since meeting had gotten much stronger. They were both breathing hard because of the sensations and power that had just rushed through them not seconds before. "Well, that was interesting." Merlin said breathlessly sneaking a peak at Arthur who looked like he was in shock.
After a moment or two Arthur finally got his voice back "I agree. Does your magic always feel like this. Like it's just it's a pulsing current right under your skin, and huge warmth in your chest?" Merlin laughed never had expected any of this to happen to him but fate and destiny had a way of surprising him around every corner. "Yes, it does. Though that is only with us. Other magic users don't feel it like we do, they only get a hint of it when they draw upon the magic they need from the earth. Even other's who always had the innate ability when they were born but it did not manifest till later in life don't feel it like this because they also draw upon the magic of the earth. We don't need to because in all respect when it comes to magic, we a creatures of magic just as much as the dragons are. We don't just have magic we are magic itself. We are an anomaly even in the world of magic because if we had stayed together then both of us would have been able to use magic since birth and that has never happened to anyone before us. Together our magic is unstoppable. Even if we are not together when we use it on our own it is the strongest magic on this earth. We are a force to be reckoned with even at our weakest." Merlin felt so happy to be able to talk his magic with Arthur it made him feel like a weight was being lifted of his shoulders.
They talked late into the night until they were both too tired to think straight. "I think we should get some rest, It is going to be a long day tomorrow because we are going to start teaching you how to control your magic a little bit. Don't need you to get angry and blow up half the castle." Merlin said teasingly which Arthur responded by shoving Merlin hard enough to make him fall off the log they were sitting on while laughing at the surprised look on Merlin's face. "Oh two can play at that game." Merlin said with a mischievous glint in his eyes. Merlin's eyes flashed gold and Arthur fell off the log backwards landing on his back while they both roared with laughter.
They both mess around for a while until they got too tired to do so and climbed into the bedrolls Arthur had brought and were soon fast asleep.
(The next day)
Merlin woke first as usual, at first he was wondering where he was until he woke up a little more and the events of the day before came flooding back to him and Merlin could not help but smile. "Arthur's my twin and he has magic I would never have seen that coming." Merlin just laid there for a few moments trying to comprehend everything that had happened before he got up and restarted the fire with a small spell.
He let Arthur sleep for a while longer while Merlin thought about what he was going to teach Arthur when he woke. Merlin was so deep in thought he did not notice Arthur was sneaking up behind him.
Arthur grabbed Merlin's shoulders and yelled in Merlin's ear effectively making Merlin jump and being his klutzy self he yelped in surprise and fell on his ass while Arthur roared with laughter. "I can't believe you didn't hear me, you are so easy." "Don't forget I can do a lot worse to you Arthur." Merlin said making Arthur's smile falter then Merlin used his magic to send a gust of wind at Arthur sending Arthur falling down on his back while Merlin got to laugh this time.
"Alright enough horsing around let's eat what we have left from last night and then get started on teaching you how to use your magic so that you can control it." Merlin said cheerfully Arthur looked a little skeptical about it but more intrigued than anything "Ok let's get started, we can eat later." Merlin just shook his head fondly then said "Ok let's start with something easy, creating fire in your hand."
