Author's Note: This drabble and the next one were inspired by a PM conversation I had with Whirlwind421. We discussed Merlin and Arthur's connection, and how considering Merlin could find Arthur in "The Poisoned Chalice" even while dying, it could be possible that Arthur has a similar link to him. My inspiration for this drabble came from our hypothesis that it was that link that allowed Arthur to be so sure of the correct path in "Lamia." She's an extremely loyal reviewer, so I hope she likes this. I hope everyone else enjoys as well! This takes place during "Lamia" and is from Arthur's point of view. Also, this is not meant to be slash. It's just about their connection. Read and review!
Disclaimer: No matter how much I would like to, I do not own Merlin.
Chapter 40: Instinct
Arthur was a warrior and a knight in addition to being king. He was used to listening to his instincts. Currently, his instincts were screaming at him, insisting their course was correct.
He had to find his knights and Gwen. Arthur worried that something horrible would happen to them to prevent them from returning to Camelot.
Finding his idiot manservant was an obvious necessity as well, but somehow he was certain that Merlin would be fine. As strange as it was, Arthur was sure he would know if something bad happened to him.
It was like some kind of instinct.
