Let's Go On An Adventure

Merlin's state only got worse as they neared Camelot. Arthur wouldn't admit it, but he was getting worried for the boy. Why doesn't Merlin complain about his tiredness so that we can stop?

When the turrets started to appear over the horizon, Merlin grunted. To Arthur's alarm, he was swaying on his feet from exhaustion.

"Merlin, are you all right?" Arthur asked quickly.

Merlin nodded distantly. "Yeah... I'm fine..." Without warning, his legs gave out and his eyes rolled backwards, and Arthur dove forward to catch him.

"Merlin!" he cried.

His friend didn't answer.

-Arthur doesn't realize that he is the source.

-So Merlin ends up sick and has fallen unconscious; what happens next? How is he going to save Camelot? Or is Camelot doomed?
