"THE HEEEEEEEEEEER-" gaius' eyes dilated, he began to convulse madly and his head lifelessly fell into his shoulder.


"gaiUs?!" merlin shook his master. "g-gaius?"

a lump formed in his throat. was he dead? (he wasn't dead.) merlin closed his eyes and remembered what gaius's dying breaths had been about. the herbs. what were the herbs? what were they for? how could he find the herbs? that's extremely inconsiderate of gaius to expect merlin to know what kind of friggin herbs he needed. jesus.

merlin stood up and dropped gaius's corpse to the floor.

a tear fell from his eyeball.

"i will save you, guy-ass," merlin vowed "if it's the last thing i do!"

he sprinted out the wooden door and hopped on his donkey which he rode to the palace.

a guard stopped him on his path, "hey you!" he said.

"what" merlin replied.

"you ain't welcome here"

"why not"

"no magic allowed"

"i'm not magic"

"oh okay u can pass then lol"

merlin passed through the portcullis and trotted over to where he saw arthur clipping his toenails.

merlin swung off his donkey and placed his hand on arthur's shoulder.

"why are you touchin me"

"i need your help."

"with what"

merlin paused.

he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"we must find..." a gale passed them, making their cloaks dance violently in air "...the herb."
