Chapter 10

(In the room Gaius has turned into a medical bay, he is treating Gwen, who is now awake)

Gwen: What happened?

Elyan: Morgana took you out using magic

Gaius: And powerful magic at that

Gwen: Where's Arthur?

Elyan: Still out there.

(A little while later the other knights come in carrying Arthur with Merlin behind them)

Gaius: Put him down here, quickly

(Gaius starts examining him)

Gwen: What happened?

Leon: Morgana got him

Gwen: Oh my

Gwaine: Its ok though, Merlin saved him

Gwen: Then why isn't he awake?

Merlin: Because for the healing spell to work, he has to be asleep.

(Gaius finishes his examination)

Gaius: He will be fine, take him to his room

Percival: Sure

(The next day, Gwen is sat at the table when Arthur wakes up)

Arthur: What happened, why does my chest hurt?

Gwen: Because Arthur, Morgana hit you.

Arthur: She hit you too, are you ok?

Gwen: Yes, it was a minor injury, Gaius patched me up.

Arthur: I assume he did the same to me then, I must thank him.

Gwen: I will thank him, you will thank someone else.

Arthur: I do not understand.

Gwen: Your injuries were severe, so much so that if you had been moved you could have died, so Merlin made a split second decision to heal u=you using magic.

Arthur: He used magic on me.

Gwen: Yes and if he hadn't you would be dead right now, so when he comes in a few minutes with breakfast you will thank him.

(5 minutes later Merlin comes in with a tray of food and lays it on the table)

Merlin: Breakfast for the King and Queen

Gwen: Thank you Merlin

(Merlin turns to leave and Gwen glares at Arthur)

Arthur: Merlin before you go, there's something I'd like to say.

Merlin: Yes Arthur what is it?

Arthur: Thank you.

Merlin: Huh!

Arthur: You saved my life, for that I will always be grateful.

Merlin: You're welcome, now if you excuse me those stables won't clean themselves.

(Merlin leaves)

Arthur: A simple thank you does not seem sufficient does it?

Gwen: What are you going to do?

Arthur: Something my father wouldn't have done in a million years.
