Sorry folks, I could not help my self. However, I am not going leave you hanging for long. Here you go!
Arthur took in a breath sharply. Merlin looked at him. "Arthur?" He asked worried.
Arthur looked at him. "I was dead wasn't I?" He asked sitting up.
"Not anymore…" Merlin said with a smile. He had brought him back to life. He looked toward the city walls and frowned. "I need to get to the castle, and quickly. I will need you to hold back the guard for me…"
Arthur nodded as he slowly got up. "I will do my best." He said as the two of them set off threw the city. "They are all dead…" He said sadness in his eyes.
"Not for long…" Merlin said softly. His eyes were determined.
"You can't mean you are going to bring the entire city back to life!" Arthur said looking extremely upset by the thought. "That would be suicide for you!"
"Maybe…" Merlin said before smiling lightly. "But it is the right thing."
Arthur looked at him with a frown. There was no getting him to change his mind now. He let out a sigh and placed an arm around him. "Is there anyone I could talk to about your abilities?" He asked. "I would like to know how much of my life I owe to you."
"Gaius." Merlin said quickly. "He knows." Arthur nodded lightly. "Know this… You have had, do have, and forever will have my loyalty and trust. I know you will be great. I have faith in you."
"I know…" Arthur said removing his arm and facing the hall where the guards were. "I shall miss you my friend."
"And I you…" Merlin said looking out towards the city. "Yet I will always guide and protect you, even from the grave." Arthur said nothing in return, he knew Merlin would find a way to make good on that promise. Merlin began his chant repeating it over and over again. Each time his voice getting louder until it rang threw out the walls of the great city.
Uther was alive once again. He heard the chanting and dashed out of the room with his guards at his heels. "Arthur out of the way!" He said getting ready to signal his guards to capture the magic user standing behind his son.
Arthur did not move instead he pulled out his sword and help it up before him. "He is helping us." He said firmly. "He is bringing the city back to life. If any of you wish to get to him, you must go threw me."
The knights looked at Arthur and did nothing, even when Uther told them to go. "Arthur, he is magic!" He said trying to make his son see reason. "He is evil!"
"Merlin is not evil father." Arthur said simply. He looked back at Merlin who had stopped chanting. "Merlin?"
"They are alright…" He said as his eyes started to become unfocused. He started to fall forward. He was spent. "I need to remember not to bring an entire city to life again…" With that he fell to the ground his markings slowly stopped glowing.
"Merlin!" Arthur shouted turning to catch him. He sounded distant to Merlin as unconsciousness took the warlock in its arms.
R&R! We are almost done.
