Merlin's eyes glazed over as Will's and Arthur's swords crash against each other. He felt tired as if he hadn't slept in weeks. Then he heard it. The voice that whispered to him in his dreams. Kilgharrah. "Merlin...get up. Get up, Merlin. Wake up from the spell..." Merlin's vision swam. He felt an arm wrap around him. He turned to see a knight. No. Not a knight, the knight. The one he was betrothed to. The man smiled and rubbed at Merlin's hip, comfortingly. "It's all right, my prince. I have you." his honey laced words made Merlin sick. "No, stop. I don't-"
"Hush now. Enjoy the torniment." Merlin felt conflicted. His mind told him to listen to the man, but his heart wanted Arthur. The Great Dragon's voice drifted in his mind. "Merlin, listen to me. You are in danger."
"I know...I know..." Suddenly, the crowds stood up and cheered, since they had no idea about the deal the two kings made. Arthur won. Will was on the ground with fire in his eyes. The people from Eldor claped, sadly. Merlin felt a tear run down his cheek, but the man with honey laced words wiped it away with the pad of his thumb.
"I'll be alright, Merlin. Don't worry."
"Kilgharrah?"
"Yes, young one?"
"I'm going to free you. Tonight."
Merlin heard a laugh. "Be careful, young one."
