A/N: I hoped you all enjoyed the last chapter this is the new one.
Sorcerer.
Merlin is a sorcerer.
Merlin had lied to him.
Merlin had betrayed him.
Merlin had broken the law.
Arthur didn't know what to do. He had just seen how Merlin had used magic. He wanted to cross the campfire and go to Merlin to be angry at him. No he wasn't angry at Merlin he was furious. How could Merlin do this to him? Was everything Merlin had told him a lie? Did he even know Merlin?
Arthur looked around. All of the knights were surprised. But none of them were like Arthur. They were all surprised but none of them where as mad as Arthur. Arthur had also always thought that he knew Merlin best. That Merlin didn't lie to him and that Merlin was his friend.
Maybe Merlin had pretended that he was Arthur's friend. Friends didn't keep secrets like that from each other, did they? Friends didn't lie and they certainly didn't betray each other. That meant that Merlin wasn't Arthur's friend. Because Merlin had done all those things.
No. Arthur thought. Merlin had saved his life. Merlin had been there for Arthur when there was none left for him. Friend where there for you when you need someone. If you thought about those time then Merlin was his friend.
Then he saw in his mind again how Merlin duplicated the meat.
Merlin had magic which meant that Merlin was evil. He hadn't thought about that yet. Arthur was raised with the belief that those who practised magic where evil but the Merlin Arthur knew didn't have an evil bone in his body. Could Merlin be evil? The idea sounded ridiculous; Merlin and evil just didn't fit in the same sentence.
Just like Merlin and betrayal, whispered a part of his mind.
Arthur didn't want to think about that and forced himself to look around to think about something else. He saw that the knights were sitting around the fire from Merlin and Gilli. When he sat down Merlin gave him some water and some of the meat he duplicated. Arthur was wondering if he really was going to eat that. Merlin had made this with magic.
At least he brought his sword with him. He had hid it beneath his cloak so that the sorcerers didn't know he had it with him. If they saw him with a sword they might think why he needed one. Sorcerers didn't need swords after all.
He saw that everyone around him was eating Merlin's meat. He was hungry and even if he didn't want to eat this he really needed some food. Eventually he took a small bite.
It didn't taste different then the meat he usually ate and he didn't think that Merlin conjured food for Arthur when the cook made Arthur's food. That would just be a waste of time for Merlin and even Merlin wasn't stupid enough for that.
Arthur was relaxed a little bit and moved a little on the log he was sitting on.
"Nice sword." Gilli said to Arthur.
It was a miracle that Arthur didn't die from a heart attack. When he moved on the log hadn't noticed that his cloak wasn't covering his sword anymore and Gilli had seen is sword. Arthur looked for a few seconds to Merlin but before he had the chance to do something Merlin said something.
"Let me see." Merlin said.
Arthur's throat was dry. He didn't want that Merlin took a look at the sword even for a few seconds. Merlin would be able to recognise it. He had polished it enough for that. What could Arthur do? If Arthur didn't let Merlin look they would know that there was something wrong. There was just one option. Arthur pulled his sword out his scabbard and gave it to Merlin.
Merlin took it and from the moment he touched it he paled. He had recognised it. Merlin looked up to Arthur and what Arthur saw surprised him.
There was fear in Merlin eyes. Arthur had called Merlin many times a coward but he knew that Merlin was brave. He had never seen Merlin terrified of something. Merlin was scared sometimes. And thinking back at the times that he had seen Merlin scared it was more that Merlin was careful than scared. Because when Merlin was careful most of the times Merlin had every right to be careful since after those time something happened.
But Merlin was terrified of Arthur. Merlin had been with Arthur trough so many things and Arthur didn't doubt that is Merlin wanted that he was able to defeat him. Why would Merlin be terrified of him?
"Merlin?" Gilli asked. He had seen on his friends face that something was wrong.
Merlin ignored him and looked at Arthur, the knights and Lynn. "One of you has got magic." Merlin said. "Who?"
"Merlin, what is going on?" asked Gilli.
"You know that I'm Arthur's servant, do you?" Merlin said. And when Gilli nodded Merlin continued. "One of the chores that I have to do is polishing his sword. I'll recognise Arthurs sword everywhere. This sword will only be easier for me to recognise because this sword was made by the father from one of my friend. That friend gave it to me and I brought it to the dragon who gave it the power to slay the living death. He told me only Arthur was allowed to use this sword but then Uther used it and I had to hide it. Years later I needed the sword and I picked it up at the place where I hid it. After it had done his work I used magic to put it in a stone where only no one could get it out. Then Arthur needed it and I brought Arthur to the stone and with some fairytale I convinced Arthur that he was the only person who could get it out. I used magic to get the sword out and since then the sword belongs to Arthur. The person who is sitting in front of you is Arthur Pendragon.
Gilli went pale and looked terrified at Arthur. Merlin turned himself to the knights and Lynn. "Who is a sorcerer?" He asked again.
Lynn showed him her magic and Arthur saw how his friends magic turned from terrified to anger.
"How could you?" Merlin asked in a very dangerous voice that Arthur had never heard before from Merlin. "You betrayed every person who is here at the meeting. You betrayed your kind and your kin. Gilli here called me once a traitor because of what I do but even though there have been a lot of evil sorcerers attacking Camelot I have never betrayed a single sorcerer to a Pendragon when they hadn't done anything yet. And even then most of the time I just dealt with them myself. You are a traitor because this meeting is a peaceful meeting. No one will get harmed from this why did you do this?"
"Because," Lynn started. ", Morgana asked me and my father to bring Arthur and a few knights here. She wanted to know who the sorcerer Emrys is and to kill him. And that is what Arthur and his knights are here for. Because Emrys won't be able to attack them. If he does that the other sorcerers will notice that they are here and that will bring Arthur and the knight into a dangerous position. Emrys doesn't want to danger them because Morgana told me and my father that that traitor protects them. If you tell us who Emrys is then I'll make sure that we leave you alone and you and your friends will be safe."
A/N: LYNN IS EVIL! Who of you did expect that. I did but she is my own character. Only one chapter left. I'll upload it on Sunday or on Monday. I'll try to upload it on Sunday but maybe I'm away then and if I get home to late I've to upload later, sorry. Reviews always make me feel better and I need that because I'm sick. So could you please review.
