(Arthur's POV)
I gasped spinning to face our uninvited guest.
"Calm down I'm not under their spell. I was away from camelot at the time of the take over I found out only recently what was going on." Modred assured us attempting to calm the terror that no doubt crossed our faces. Shaking myself I coughed awkwardly, not happy to have shown even a moment's fear.
"Anyway you said you could get us past the guards?" I asked attempting to nonchalantly change the subject.
"Yes I recently learned a teleportion spell that could get us just past the guards into the cave. Morgana only has guards stationed outside the cave so once inside it will be easy to get to merlin, but I am not as strong as metlin so I can only do this spell one time. How you will get merlin out will be a problem you will have to fiqure out. As once I do this spell I will be exhausted. I can also only transport you three. I won't be able to come with. If you are willing to accept my help that is. I know you were unaware of my magic Arthur but this may be your only chance. So what do you say are you in?" Sharing a brief glance with Gwem I sighed nodding to indicate my approval. I was seriously getting a headache from all these lies. Honestly if one more person tells me they have magic I think I might just scream.
"Ok than if you all are ready than make a cirle around me holding hands. Yes just like that. This will take a lot of energy so its best not to distract me. Ok here goes nothing." Taking a deep breath. Eyes flashing a brillant gold. He began to chant in a deep rumbling voice.
"Ego beesch de te, regina Albus veteris religionis. Audi tui servos suos vocare. Da mihi potestatem, tellus et tempus. Ad nos Emrys deorsum." I gasped clutching more tightly to Gwens and Giaus hands as I felt my feet leave the ground before suddenly I found my self shivering inside a dark cold cave beneath the castle. Letting go of Giaus and Gwens hands I glanced around us spotting the door, Giaus told us about, by a giant cliff.
Getting their attention I nodded to it as I began walking towards it. I just hope modred will be ok. Grabbing the handle I was surprised to find it unlocked. Morgana must not have thought anyone would get this far. Swinging the door open we gasped in shock as we saw Merlin chain to a bed covered in blood. Rushing to him I frantically began checking him for wounds. I was relieved to see they were just superfical cuts that just bled enough to look serious. They must have wanted to torture him before killing and eating him. Placing my hand gently on his shoulder I shook him awake.
"Merlin." I whispered.
"Come on you lazy daisy open your eyes. This is no time to be napping." I playfully teased to mask my worry. I smiled as I saw him finally begin to blink open his eyes.
"There you are." I laughed at the look of astonishment plastering his face as he finally realized who had woken him. Seeming to realize I was a merage tears filled his eyes slipping freely down his cheeks.
"A..Arthur."
"Yeah merlin its me. Did you really think I wouldn't come for you. Honestly Merlin your such a girl." I teased untying the ropes securing his hands as Gwen and Giaus did his legs.
"A..Arthur its really you. I'm so sorry Arthur I wanted to tell you for so long, but I didn't know how. I'm so sorry." He sobbed throwing himself into my arms the moment he was no longer tied down. I've never really been good at emotional situations like these. Unsure how to proceed I awkwardly patted his back.
"There there um its.. its ok um..." Glancing at Gwens and Giaus's amused faces I grimaced turning a bright shade of cherry red. Clearing my throat I swiftly pushed him gently away avoiding eye contact with everyone.
"Ok Merlin thats enough. We need to get out of here before Morgana and Agravain realize we are down here and..."
"Oh I think its quite too late for that brother dearest." I felt shivers run up my spine at that sickenly sweet voice. Turning slowly to face the door I frown as I see Agravain and Morgana blocking the only exit smirking at me.
"Now did you really think I wouldn't have put some kind of warning system on this room. Anytime someone thats not me enters this room I am alerted immediately through my magic of the intrusion. Honestly brother did you really think it would be so simple, but no matter it just made it easier for me to kill you." She laughed taking a menacingly step toward us. Gwen pulling merlin toward her. Quickly cutled around him as if attempting to protect him from her wrath. Giaus standing in between them and Morgana. Drawing my sword from the sheath around my waist I pointed it warningly at her daring her to try to harm merlin again.
"Oh brother Moveretur." I yelped in fright as my sword was suddenly ripped out of my hand. Clattering uselessly to the ground out of reach. Glaring at her I moved a step closer to merlin as if my proxmity could some how protect him. Smirking and rolling her eyes she opened her mouth raising her hand as she prepared to kill me.
"Occid..."
"Arthur the wish!" Giaus yelled cutting Morgana off mid spell. Agravain realizing what he meant screeched leaping for me in an attempt to stop me. Not fast enough though. Spinning around and grabbing merlin from Gwen I made eye contact with him and made my wish.
"Merlin I wish that Agravains wish would be null and void and that Morgana and Agravain were forever banished from camelot never able to return again." Merlin eyes glowing gold smiled a wide toothed grin as he granted my wish.
"As you wish honored one." He reverently agreed before a bright flash of light and Agravains and Morganas scream swept through the room. Next thing I know we are in the throne room all the knights surrounding us looking dazed.
"What happened. I haven't felt this confused since I woke up from the tavern in Queen Annis bed 5 years ago." Gwain stated rubbing his head as he glanced at me. I laughed joyfully as I realized what this means. We won. We won without any casualties.
"Arthur?" A timid voice behind me asks. Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath I slowly turn to face my manservant. Whose standing nervously chewing a hole through his bottom lip as he wrings his hands together avoiding eye contact.
"Arthur I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I should have told you when this search began and avoided this mess but I... I was scared I..." I cut him off dragging him into a bone crushing hug as I growled in his ear tears falling gently down my face.
"Darn right you should have told me." Merlin whimpered pitifully at that wrapping his arms around me and burying his face in my shoulder.
"And you will be mucking the stables and spending time in the stocks everyday for a month for this but for now I'm just glad your ok." He made a sound which seemed like a cross between a whimper and a chuckle still holding tightly to me. Its going to take time, and a lot of explaining but eventually everything will be just fine.
6 Years Later
"MERLIN!!!" I screamed storming angrily down the hallway, hands balled into fists. Pushing open the door to Giaus chambers I stormed inside glaring hatefully around the patients area. Giaus raising an eyebrow his lips twitching at my appearnace he nodded up to merlins room. Indicating he was up there. Storming up the stairs I barreled inside his room steam blillowing out my new donkey ears. Merlin took one look at me and burst out laughing clutching his sides and tears streamed down his face from mirth.
"Merlin is this your idea of a joke undo it right now." I yelled my donkeys tail swishing angrily behind me as my blue eyes flashed dangerously at my court sorcerer.
"I'm sorry Arthur but it actually wasn't me this time who did it." He chuckled wiping a stray tear of mirth from his eye. Frowning I crossed my arms raising an eyebrow at him indisbelief.
"Oh? If you didn't do it than who..." I paused as my new ears picked up faint giggling from the closet. Sighing I approachedbhis closet knowing exactly who the culprit was. Swiftly yanking open the door . I watched as 2 small red and pink blurs tumbled to the ground from leaning on the closet door. Jumping to their feet and grinning wickedly at me they giggled as they stared at my new features.
"Yagrine, Freya do you two happen to know how i woke up eith some rather unusual features?" They giggled their grins widening.
"Nooo." They laughed darting for the door as I stepped toward them. Grabbing them Around the middle I hauled them onto my shoulders smirking at them.
"Oh of course not and I assume it was my other magical daughters who turned me into a donkey?" I laughed smiling at them.
"Ok so maybe we might have done a little spell." Freya admitted sheepishly.
"I see." I laughed placing them gently on the bed.
"But it was uncle Merlin's idea. He taught us the spell." Yagrine blurted out pointing to my friend who was attempting to blend in to the wall.
"Traitors." Merlin muttered under his breath.
"Oh is that so? So you just thought it be funny to teach them that sprll huh merlin." I teased pretending to be mad.
"I was merely teaching them to control the magic they were born with, and if they happened to stumble upon a partial donkey spell. Hey who am I to deny my neices." He grinned his eyes sparkling.
"I see well than if you happen yo stumble your way to the stalks today who am I not to lock you there for thd rest of the day." I smirked as his face fell slightly.
"Prat."
"Idiot."
"Dollophead."
"Clotpole."
"Hey thats my word."
"And it duits you well. Now will you just change me back already merlin."
"Alright alright fine. Though I think you look better this way." He muttered his eyes flashing gold before my donkey ears and tail vanished. Sighing in relief I looked up ready to tease him when I noticed he was gone.
"Where did merlin go." I attempted to ask my children only for a sharp braying to come outbof my mouth. Causing the girls to break into a new round of giggles.
"MERLIN!!!"
