Magic pt.9
Hello, hope you are having a good day.
Arthur started to come around but was still mad at Merlin for somethings. They watched as Merlin and Arthur went to Ismere.
Merlin and Arthur were freezing in the cold. It was snowing again. Arthur was taking the first watch. Merlin was trying to sleep. He finally fell asleep. Arthur started to get concerned about Merlin. He knew that a few minutes ago Merlin was shivering and he was breathing a lot but now he was barely breathing. He looked at Merlin who was near the small fire. They had found shelter in a small cave. He went to Merlin and saw that Merlin's lips were tinted with blue. Merlin was very pale. Arthur tried to wake Merlin up. Merlin began to moan but didn't wake up. Arthur made the fire bigger and tried to warm Merlin up. It took a while but finally Merlin woke up. He was shivering violently.
"Arthur?" Merlin shivered. Arthur went to Merlin's side and Merlin tried to sit up.
"No, Merlin. Don't sit up. You were having hypothermia. You may be getting better but you're still very cold. How do you feel?" Arthur calmly said.
"Tired. I want to sleep."
"Don't fall asleep. You know what Gaius said."
"You said that I was getting better."
"You are but you could still easily die. I managed to find a man who had some food. He gave us some. Do you want any?"
Merlin nodded. Arthur went to the fire and got a bowl of soup. He helped Merlin eat. When Merlin had eaten everything in the bowl he tried to go to sleep.
"Merlin, don't fall asleep just yet." Arthur ordered.
"I'm so tired." Merlin complained. Then Arthur came over with some water. He helped Merlin drink some. "Can I get some sleep now?"
"Yeah."
Merlin fell asleep quickly.
Merlin and Arthur looked at each other. Hunith saw that Merlin was upset. They continued to watch what happened. They watched as Merlin protected Arthur from Uther.
"Get away from him, Uther. You've caused enough harm. You don't belong here. You must return to the other world." Merlin angrily said.
"This is my kingdom. You think you can drag it. You are nothing but a serving boy." Uther replied.
"I am much more than that."
Uther used magic but Merlin stopped the bench with his magic.
"You have magic." Uther gasped.
"I was born with it." Merlin tearfully answered.
"I made you Arthur's servant. You are a sorcerer."
"Even while you were king there was magic at the heart of Camelot."
"I will not allow you and your kind to poison my kingdom."
"You're wrong. You're wrong about so much. Arthur's a much better king than you ever were."
Uther shouted and Merlin used magic.
"That's what my father was trying to tell me." Arthur realized.
"Yes. It is." Merlin answered quietly. Arthur started to realize that merlin was always there no matter what.

Is Arthur starting to come around or is he as stubborn as his father?
