Frater Meus Parvus pt.12
Hello, hope you are having a good day.
Balinor grabbed Merlin and hugged him.
"Why can't I use my magic?" Merlin cried.
"When Morgana took your magic away, your body was under attack. When you got your magic back, your body wasn't able to handle it. Since then your magic never balanced. Either it was overwhelming or not enough." Balinor explained.
"But why is it that I never had any problem before?"
"Because no sorcerer healed you after that. It's been a thousand years. Because of me, you nearly died."
"It's not your fault."
"I know. Get some rest. You scared us all."
Merlin nodded and went to sleep. Then Freya came in.
"How is he?" Freya wondered.
"He's fine. Just tired." Balinor sighed.
"He looks a bit better. He looks peaceful."
"I know. I'm grateful that Merlin found someone as caring and kind as you."
"Thank you. Merlin is a lot like you. I know that he tries to be like you.
"He's a better man than me. He's stronger than I ever was. He's faced things that I would have coward away from."
Freya kissed Merlin's cheek. For the next few weeks Merlin recovered quickly. His magic managed to get under control. Then one day, Arthur and Merlin were talking. Gaius came in.
"I was very ill when Freya came. She helped me the best she could. She stayed by my side. She did mostly everything for me. When I recovered, she fell ill. I took care of her. I never let her go. When she recovered, I helped her get settled." Merlin said. Then they saw Gaius.
"Merlin, I have something for you. It'll help your magic. Balinor helped me find it." Gaius explained. Then he gave Merlin a cup that had the medicine in it. Merlin drank it and tried not to gag.
"I should have known that it would be disgusting."
Then Merlin moaned.
