A brother is for Adversity pt.3
Hello, hope you all are having a good day. If you have seen my bio. Then you know that I am a Christian. Since I am a Christian most of my stories will have some biblical truth in it. All my characters are Christians or will be Christians.
Gwaine was drunk but was still able to do his job. One of knights knew that Gwaine was drunk. It was night. Hunith was in tears. They had been digging for several hours. When every they dug a hole to the other hole Merlin had already fallen deeper. One time Gwaine was mad and threw his water skin on the ground. There were some rocks and when the water hit the rocks Gwaine realized something. He picked up the wet rock and went to Arthur.
Meanwhile, in the hole Merlin was not doing well. He knew that he didn't have a lot of air left. He was very scared and was in a lot of pain. He wanted to scream but held it in. He had a hard time breathe and staying awake. He knew something wasn't right.
"Please, God help me. I need your help. I trust in you alone." Merlin prayed. He began to cry.
On the surface Arthur, Percival, and sir Owain were talking when Gwaine came up.
"Arthur, we need to stop digging. If we dig anymore both holes will collapse. The dirt isn't just dirt, there's rocks there too. By digging another hole we're only causing the first one to collapse." Gwaine said.
"He's drunk sire. Don't listen to him." Sir Owain scoffed. Then he went back to work.
"Let me see." Arthur ordered. When Arthur and Percival saw the rock they knew Gwaine was right. Then Leon came over.
"There might be a cave nearby. We need to go there and find Merlin." Percival suggested.
"Sire, I think I know where one is." Leon replied breathlessly. So the 4 went to find Merlin.
In the hole Merlin was very weak. He had started wheezing from the rocks hitting his rib cage. He was starting to suffocate. Then a big rock hit him in the stomach causing Merlin to pass out from lack of air and pain.
The 4 found the right cave. They ran in and tried to find the hole. Several minutes later they found the hole.
"We need to hurry. The second hole is about to collapse." Arthur pointed out. Leon saw Merlin's foot. He grabbed it and gently pulled.
"I got his foot." Leon loudly said. They gently grabbed Merlin and pulled him down. When Merlin was out, Percival carried Merlin out. Then when they were half way out of the cave the 2 holes collapsed. On the surface, everyone was safe. Mordred went over to Hunith. He put his hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry. He's dead." Mordred sadly informed.
"No, he can't be." Hunith cried.
As Percival carried Merlin, Merlin woke up. Merlin started coughing and was shivering a bit. They got back to the clearing as quick as they could.
"Hunith." Arthur yelled. Hunith looked up and saw Merlin in Percival's arms. Hunith ran as fast as she could to Merlin.
"Oh, Merlin." Hunith happily gasped. When she got to Merlin, Merlin was looking at her but was unfocused. Merlin was trying to talk but was wheezing. Gaius came over and saw that Merlin was crying.
"We need to get him to Camelot." Gaius demanded.
