I've decided that Wendy's bacon cheese potatoes are some of the best things ever, and I get it at half-price! Yay for me! And someone brought us chocolate cake things! Totally awesome!

Oh, yeah, I started working there. Probably should have mentioned that...

Prompt: From Riah021101: Prompt(or not): Uther knows Merlin has magic, but how could he kill his son's best friend?

Rating: T

Genre: Angst/Tragedy

Characters: Uther, Merlin, Arthur

Time Frame: The Burning Series; Post "The Heartless King" (12); Pre "Burning" (6)

Summary: When Uther discovers that Merlin, Arthur's best friend, is a sorcerer, he has to make a choice. Will it be the right one?

Let's Go On An Adventure


Uther knew.

The boy was sent to the dungeons, and Arthur was restrained elsewhere, and that was that.

But not really.

I will never forgive you for this.

His son had tried to surge forward to protect the boy, but he was enchanted, obviously. Nothing more was said.

But the King still couldn't ignore that feeling.

Was it all right to risk alienating his son, his only son, over the sake of some serving boy, a sorcerer? Or should he show him mercy?

Uther made his choice and gave the order for Arthur's best friend to be burned.


Uther you bastard!

All in favor of killing the king, say aye!
