This one's dedicated to Kitty O and her Apples: A series 5 countdown drabble as that's where I got the idea from.
Thanks to Mischief-Manager00 for being my sole reviewer - this for you! :) It isn't much, but I thought I'd better write something because IT'S ONLY SEVEN DAYS TIL MERLIN!
Enjoy... (and please review)
It wasn't the lies. That was just survival.
It wasn't the double life. Also Necessary.
It wasn't the dragon or Morgana or Uther's death. None of those things were ill-intentioned; Arthur got that. He probably would've done the same thing.
It was just that...
It was that nothing in the world hurt more than a betrayal you didn't see coming. Especially one from your closest friend, from the only man you truly trusted.
The only sorcerer you truly trusted.
"Guess I really made a mess of it that time, huh? Didn't even notice my servant was magic."
"Arthur..."
"No, Merlin. Just...no."
Thoughts? Suggestions? Anything?
