Chapter 2

As the sophisticated sorcerer left the cave room, the man lacking teeth and clothes opened the door to Merlin's and Arthur's cell. Athur was about to strike the bandit, but for the first time he noticed the chain around his wrists, they bounded the prince to the wall of the dark grey stone wall. "Dammit" he cursed.

The enemy grabbed Merlin's arm and forced the warlock to sit up. It was difficult for the pale man to get up since he had no he had no strength left. "Lowly servant, can't even get up on his own."

Arthur snapped, he internally raged: 'how dare he call Merlin a lowly servant? Only I can call him that'

The bandit carried - no wait - dragged Merlin to the entrance of the cell then dropped - wait sorry - threw him onb the ground. The bandit stretched his back and muttered"I don't get paid enough for this."

The young warlock was on his back, moaning from the burning pain on his clavical.

The bandit kickd Merlin's right side and spat on him. Then the disgusting fellow moved his way over to the bound prince. "I guess a pretty boy like you isn't thag strong. Let me guess... you hide behinf your daddy's might."

Arthur clenched his teeth. Hard. First the man hurt Merlin, second he challenged the blond's strength. When the bandit got close enough, the prince rammed his head on the his head. This caused the man to cower in pain leaving his belt full of keys out in the open. The restrained male leaned back and stretched his right leg out toward freedom.

'Closer, Closer' Arthur urged. His toe was an inch no a centimeter away from liberation, but the key flew up and away from the confused male.

"You can't even follow out a simple order." Said a frustrated voice. It was the black haired sorcerer.

"Grant! I tried but this idiot of a pr-" the bandit was the flung to the cave wall and his body fell with a thud.

"And I told you NOT to hurt the injured one any further." Grant grinded his teeth.

Then he went to the prince and smirked, "since you attempted to escape from your bindings you will be sentenced to 25 lashes."

o.o.o.o.o

Merlin woke up from his unconscious state and saw that he was not in his cell like he remembered. He sat up quickly and looked around. Light grey walls, shelves full with old books, a messy broan table in the middle of the room. Merlin paused and wondered 'did Gaius redecorate?' Merlin got up and sat on the edge of the bed, then he remembered to wound he had and placed his hand on his shoulder and chest... nothing. Was it just a dream?

"You're awake." The unfamiliar voice interupted Merlin's thoughts. Merlin glanced over to the source of the voice, there stood a man with strong features: deep set eyes, strong jaw line, and a long narrow nose.

The man walked over to a green plant and looked at a leaf. "Just in time for this moment event...Arthur's first floggjng session."

Blood drained from Merlin's face 'It wasnt a dream' he thought. And without missing a beat l, Merlin said. "No! I'll take responsibility!"

Grant smirked. "Well dragonlord... I want to feed."

Merlin furrowed bjs brows and frowned in disgust and shock.

'How did he know I was... a dragonlord?"

"You have two choices: let Arthur get flogged and you'll be free of any punishment... or take Arthur's place and he will eventually be set free..."

Merlin stared at the black haired man as he walked closer to the manservant. Merlin then clenched his teeth... he knew sorceres are tricky, and he did not want to flagged or hurt - like any human - but he knew he could alwags use his magic to escape. "Let Arthur go."

Grant smirked and his eyes grew cold. "Perfect answer." He then covered Merlin's eyes with his left hand and his eyes glowed.

... a cry of pain was heard throughout the cave... Merlin's cry of pain.
