Disclaimer: Before I answer your question on whether or not I own Merlin, drink this water I got from Merlin!

Prompt: From me: What if Arthur had been the vessel for the sleeping spell?

Rating: T

Genre: Angst/Tragedy

Characters: Arthur, Merlin, Morgause, The Knights of Medhir, Gaius, Kilgharrah, mentions of Uther and Hunith

Time Frame: Season 2 "The Fires of Idirsholas"

Summary: After failing to convince Morgana to join her, Morgause is forced to choose a new vessel for her sleeping curse...

Let's Go On An Adventure


"What can you do for him?" Arthur asked Gaius, drawing up a chair besides Merlin's cot.

Gaius tiredly looked at his ward. "I'm not sure... What happened?"

Arthur pinched the bridge of his nose, wincing. "I don't know... He's been getting worse since we faced the Knights of Medhir." He didn't mention Morgause. "Do you think that they did something to him?"

If Gaius was surprised at Arthur's concern, he didn't show it.

"Maybe. Perhaps we could send him to Ealdor for fresher air?"

Arthur relaxed. "I'll see to it right away."


-Thus, Arthur gets a farmer or someone to deliver Merlin safely to Ealdor.

-The curse is based on distance, so, realistically, by being away from the source, Merlin will be fine soon enough.
