Definition of a Merlin Drabble

by Lya200

A drabble: a short work of fiction of around one hundred words in length. A Merlin drabble: pure chaos. How many adventures can occur in 100 words? Drabble 289: Arthur knows of Merlin's ice magic, but Uther finds out and Merlin has to flee. Arthur tries to find him and stop Uther from killing him. One Frozen AU all in 100 words.

10. Obscurial

This is next on my list of pre-written drabbles. If you have not yet seen Fantastic Beasts and do not even want to know what happens in the film, I suggest you leave now.

If you DO want to read this, then enjoy. I like how this turned out in the end.

Since this was restricted to 100 words, a lot of backstory had to be cut. However, if ANYONE wants to do an extension of this, you will have my full support. In fact, I might just do one myself out of boredom. Just as a one-shot of course.

Disclaimer: I had a dream a few nights ago where I was in the world of Merlin. However, he only has one master, so I do not own Merlin. I also do not own Obscurials.

Prompt: From me: What if Merlin suppresses his magic?

Rating: K+

Genre: Horror and Angst

Characters: Merlin, Arthur

Time Frame: This can be set ANYWHERE! If you want, this can be set during Arthur's reign so that Merlin is not facing execution.

Summary: When Merlin suppresses his magic, he transforms into an Obscurial. Arthur has to save him. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them tribute!

Let's Go On An Adventure

---

Merlin hated lying to Arthur, so one day, he vowed never to use magic again.

Big mistake.

The Obscurial blotted out the sun. Day turned to night. Magic.

Arthur darted across the battlements, his sword cast away.

"Merlin!" He pleaded to the heavens. "Please stop this!"

The storm slowed. Within the Obscurial, Arthur saw the silhouette of a young man.

"Merlin, I know! I know about your magic! You don't have to hide anymore! Not from me!"

The Obscurial dissipated, revealing Merlin.

"I-I'm so'y," Merlin sobbed, thinking Arthur hated him.

Arthur just hugged his friend tightly.

I don't know how you guys feel about this, but I for one think that it's a nice break from all of the Merlin almost dying because he stopped using magic. When I saw the movie, I immediately thought of Merlin. It seemed like the perfect idea. However, I decided not to kill Merlin because, you know, reasons.
