everything changes.
Merlin looked up at the knights and Gwen on their horses. "Tristain make sure Arthur gets back safely, in fact make sure you all come back safely. Speaking of Arthur where is he?" Tristain nodded his head and looked over Merlin's shoulder, Arthur was striding across the courtyard with hew in tow behind him holding a dagger. "Merlin your hand" Merlin looked down at his hand wondering why the prince wanted his hand he reached out with it anyway, whatever he was expecting it wasn't for hew to hand Arthur the dagger and Arthur to cut across Merlin's palm, he was about to ask why the prince had done it, when he saw the prince do it to himself, before reaching out and clasping their two hands together. "Arthur, are you sure?" "Yes you idiot I'm sure, I wasn't joking, you are my dearest friend and like an annoying little brother to me. So yes I am sure I want to be blood brothers." His tone turned more serious and softer "the oath, it was first spoken in the old tongue, will it hold more meaning if it is spoken in the old tongue?" Arthur asked, Merlin pondered the question. "I believe it may, are you sure? We don't know what will happen if I recite the oath." Arthur smiled clasping the warlock's bloodied hand. "Lets find out" Merlin nodded holding onto the princes hand tighter. "my blood is your blood, your blood is my blood, forces of old hear us say, blood brothers we, till the dying day" Merlin's eyes went gold and a band of shimmering light spread out from their hands and travelled to the others heart. They gasped as they drew their hands away. Each bore a slight scar where the blade had cut.
Arthur wavered a little on his feet before he gasped and a small cloud of gold dust escaped his mouth. Merlin stepped forward grabbing onto Arthurs arms keeping him steady, "oh god I knew it was a bad idea, I'm so sorry" Arthur looked at his friend wondering why Merlin was apologising. "Arthur. I don't have magic. I am magic, it's in my heart, in my soul, in my bones, its in my blood. Arthur you just bonded with my blood a small part of it runs though you now." Arthur gasped. "oh god! You gave me magic! Argh that's grouse!" he shivered and a slight breeze picked up. "Calm down Arthur, it isn't enough to register but it will be noticeable these first few hours for you before it settles, if you don't stay focused, you could do damage." Arthur glared at his friend "damage? Hah, I can feel it you know. I can feel what you have had to deal with all your life, I can sense your sister's magic, even Gaius' and he hasn't used it in years, I can taste the recent spells that were cast, I can hear the potential spells wanting to be cast, almost like voices, is this really what its like for you?" Merlin looked at his feet before answering. "You have but a drop of my blood, one millionth of what I have." Arthur looked at his friend, his 'brother' "I'm so sorry Merlin, I never knew, I tried to imagine but this, I'm sorry." Merlin smiled "you have nothing to be sorry for my friend, few have been granted the view and knowledge you have, Tristain is one of them I suppose. The discomfort will only last a few minuets for you." Arthur nodded and got on his horse.
"Look after the house brother" he said with a laugh while Merlin rolled his eyes, before replying "don't get killed princess" Arthur glared at him "you are expendable you know" he said smiling Merlin patted the horse making it move. "You're hilarious, come back safe, all of you." Arthur waved and galloped off to war. Merlin sighed and turned to his sister who was standing next to him "what aren't you telling me? Sister?" she shifted her feet and avoided looking at her brother. "Well that wyvern I crashed" "the one from the attack on your village?" he asked. "Yes that one, well funny story." he glared at his sister so she continued. "Well she's sort of my pet now. I've tried to set her free but she seams to think she is safer near me" Merlin laughed "even though you crashed her face first into the ground?" he asked and this time she laughed with him. "Landing is something I'm working on."
"This should feel weirder surely. I mean I have only just met you, and yet." Bellanor smiled at her brother. "And yet it feels as if we never left each others side, I know. I suppose it is the magic in us, our souls are cut from the same cloth, you will be Emrys king of magic one day." Merlin laughed. "you know If I'm off being 'king of magic' then I'll need someone out there being 'queen of dragon lords,' you up for the job?" she whistled in response and her wyvern plummeted down into the court yard and landed gently in front of her growling at Merlin who simply growled back, the wyvern, backed up and bowed to him. "Glenda, I thought I'd call her Glenda" Bellanor said, Merlin stared at his sister. "You can't call a wyvern Glenda! Its undignified for a cousin to the great dragons to be called such a human name!" he shouted at her. "Well she hasn't objected to it yet." He rubbed his temple with one hand and waved the other in front of his sister. "I notice she landed fine by herself ever think maybe she is throwing you off because you gave her a stupid name! Why was I lumped with such an imbecile for a sibling! Gah!" Bella glared at her brother swatting his hand away, "oh I'm an imbecile? At least I'm not a pugnacious, egotistical, haggard old fart, brother!" before he could object to her out burst she climbed onto Glenda's back and flew off towards where Gaius had set up one of his infirmaries.
"Sisters, are far too much hassle, that's why I had mine sent to a nunnery." Uthur said as he appeared next to Merlin. The young warlock hoped his flinch wasn't noticeable, he had a feeling the king was being deadly serious. "Sire, Arthur already left. Did you want to speak to him?" For some reason he had pointed vaguely in the direction the knights and Gwen had gone. Uthur simply looked at him like he was an idiot. "I have already spoken to my son, he told me he intended to make you his blood brother." Merlin shifted uncomfortably. "It wasn't my idea sire. I understand how some may see my change in status from servant to advisor to blood brother. No magic was used." Uthur laughed. "I have watched you. I watch any servant who interacts with my family. It is logical to do so. Yes you can be the very definition of annoying, yes you can be an idiot, yes you seam to have a woeful disregard for proper etiquette. But the first thing you ever did was save my sons life, I have seen you point and laugh at him when he is down, I have seen him smile as he throws a half hearted reprimand at you. I have seen you tirelessly be a rock of support for him, all without the use of magic. It was me who gave you your rightful title, you are the son of a lord. I always thought he needed a brother, a sibling. His sister abandoned him. Don't do the same Emrys." Merlin nodded his head in acknowledgement.
"sire I believe our weakest point is the western courtyard. That will be where they attack from." He said to the king who nodded. "it has battlements but is little used and enclosed. It is a good place to attack from, you are correct we will need to defend it." The king turned and started walking towards the courtyard. Merlin fell into step behind the king. "Sire I know it is not my place to mention her name, but I am concerned that Morganna has not made an appearance yet. I fear her and her sister are planning something big" uthurs jaw clenched, as did his fists. "That wretch has turned against all that is good, if you show all that could be good about magic she shows all that is bad. She is the darkness to your light. I have no doubt she is planning some dastardly deed." Uthur said as they arrived in the western courtyard. The first thing he noticed about the court yard was how quiet it was, "not many people use this courtyard since, since before the purge." the king said as he came to a stop near Merlin, "I can see why she liked it here sire it is a beautiful part of the castle."
Uthurs jaw clenched again but he said nothing, it still disturbed him how easily Merlin could see into the truth of things without use of magic. Igrain had personally over seen the renovation of this section of the citadel when she was made queen, the windows were all stain glass, and the buildings had been given a chalk wash so they would glow in the evening sun. Right now it was covered in shade as it was morning and the sun was the other side of the buildings. Merlin felt a shift in the air and looked up. "Sire! Griffin!" Uthur swung round and saw what Merlin was pointing at. A large griffin was flying towards them at high speed. behind it were more griffins an entire flock of them. Uthur drew his sword. "Tell me you have a plan boy." Merlin smiled before uttering a word and causing uthurs sword to burst into flame.
"sire that will last three hits but then it will need renewing," he turned his attention to the ramparts and battlements and roofs, he saw the statues holding spears and the gargoyles that were not Cigen's work and he roared a load spell. Instantly the statues and gargoyles game to life and threw themselves at the attacking creatures and brought them to the ground where Uthur and Merlin fought the griffins. One got to close to Merlin and on instinct the young warlock roared like a dragon and breathed fire directly at the griffin. Uthur took a step back as Merlin turned towards him, his eyes had gone gold and were burning like the sun, "obliterate!" as he shouted the spell Merlin pointed at one of the griffins and suddenly Uthur was thrown back as every griffin there was engulfed in blue flames and incinerated. Merlin slumped against the wall and Uthur watched as the gargoyles and statues returned to they stone form.
"Arthur I don't know how he's done it but Cenred has increased his numbers again. And the sorcerers are back stronger than before!" Elyan shouted form somewhere. "May god forgive me for any harm I do this day in the protection of innocents" Galahad muttered before he launched himself into the fray. "Arthur, we have a problem" Tristain shouted over the clatter of swords and shields "look" he pointed into the sky and Arthur saw a most bizarre sight, his sister and morgouse were riding griffins, and were at the head of a wave of wyverns and griffins, "what other tricks are they up to." The prince muttered before he heard Lancelot shout. "I've killed you once I can do it again!" and that's when Arthur saw it. A group of wilderin's advancing from the side. "Damn" was all he could think to say. "Excalibur don't let me down now," with those words he waded his way to Lancelot's side and together they dispatched of the giant rats.
"Arthur duck!" he did as Tristain said and felt the knight's sword fly over him and cut along a griffin's neck. He heard Tristain scream and knew the penance must have hurt. "Tristain! There's to many, you'll kill yourself if you use your sword. You have to do it!" "No I swore never to use it! Please sire you know not what you ask!" Arthur grabbed the knight by his cape and pulled him right up close, got right up in his face, his eyes fierce "Sir Tristain, as your Crown Prince and Commander, I am ordering you to use magic to save us all. Now I don't care what issues you have with your heritage, your mother was clearly powerful, so you clearly have it in you to do the damn spell!" Arthur's yelling had drawn attention as had Tristan's shaking. "You know not what you ask. It is a dangerous path for me to do this, damn it all to hell, I wish you hadn't ordered this," a single manly tear fell down Tristain's cheek as he muttered the required spell "swords and spears ignite, shine as bright as heaven light" all of the knights swords and spears burst into blue flame, the kind required to kill griffins, Arthur laughed with relief and went to congratulate Tristain but the young knight shrugged him off and walked away refusing to look at the prince.
"Merlin? What happened!," sir Malcolm had just walked into the physicians infirmary carrying the warlock. "Over did magic, burnt tongue, roof of mouth, exhaustion." Was all he said before he ran out to take up position with the king outside. "Dragon fire. Oh my son why?" Hunith said as she kissed her sons forehead gently as Gaius ran off to get the appropriate medicine. "Dragon fire what do you mean mother?" Bellanor asked Hunith. "The most powerful of dragon lords could perform similar feats to those of their kin, control of fire and the ability to breath it. But ballinor told me once that it takes months if not years of careful training to do, to try a full breath of fire straight away, if Merlin was not who he is, as powerful as he is, he would have burnt his lungs to cinders, and would be dead." Bellanor gasped and held tightly onto her brother's hand. "Oh you idiot, I've only just found you. I'm not ready to loose you because you do something foolish". Gaius returned with his poultices and started applying them.
A few minuets later Merlin came to but was still a little groggy, and unable to speak, it didn't stop him trying to speak though but stooped when it proved too difficult. "You may be the great Emrys one day but even you have your limits Merlin" Hunith admonished as he struggled to stand up as she pushed him back down. Bellanor withdrew a purple crystal from inside her dress and unclipped a potion from Merlin's jacket, she murmured something under her breath, her eyes went gold and the crystal bathed the potion in purple light before returning to normal. She made Merlin drink the potion before she stood up and started walking towards the door.
"Daughter, where are you going?" Hunith asked worried for both her children "where do you think. Camelot needs magic." Was the reply she got before her daughter disappeared. "My dear cousin I have only ever seen that crystal alignment, potion combination successfully used by one person. Ever. What are you not telling me?" Gaius asked Hunith raising his eyebrow at her. "Alice came through ealdor, like you planned. But she stayed and helped deliver the twins, Merlin. I knew what he would be, I needed to keep him safe, near me. Hidden in plain sight but it was to dangerous for Bellanor to stay so I entrusted her to Alice, it would appear Alice stuck with her for a while." Gaius felt Merlin drift out of consciousness, so asked what had really been bothering him. "There's something else you are not telling me. Please Hunith, you have seen what holding secrets has done to Merlin, to me. Please tell me, please no more secrets, sister"
Hunith felt a tear fall down her cheek, Gaius was like a brother to her despite being her cousin, and they used to refer to each other as siblings when they were younger but not for a long time. She knew she had to tell him the truth no matter how hard it might be. "When Alice arrived, she was sick," Gaius felt un easy. "How sick" he asked Hunith. "Once or twice a day, it was awful for her but it always had gone by the after, by the afternoon." she said as she looked across. Gaius hadn't raised to his position as court physician without being smart and astute. "she was with child? But, we were always so, surely we were to old?" Hunith laughed. "Gaius, our grand mother was a priestess of the old religion, she brought her beloved back from death, my son is the future king of magic, my daughter is the first ever female dragon lord, and you had the potential to be the greatest of sorcerers before choosing physic. Our family is not exactly normal, why do you think we tried so hard to stay hidden? Why do you think we moved to ealdor? Gaius, Alice was with child when the twins were born, a month or two I'd guess, I think the sickness lasted longer for her because of her age at the time, but that isn't what's important, the child is out there somewhere, I have seen it in Bellanor's eyes in her manor" Gaius sat in silence, he had to admit he had noticed it as well. Bellanor was far to at ease with those her own age which meant she had had company growing up, he had a son or daughter out there somewhere, but that isn't what was bothering him, "why didn't she say? I saw her a year or two ago. Why didn't she say?" he asked no one in particular
"She had just escaped the manticors clutches, and was in the process of running away from a death sentence, she didn't really have time" they both looked down at the slightly croaky voice, Merlin was awake and healed. "I think I'm fit for action, I'll be headed" Gaius placed a firm hand on Merlin's forehead and pushed his nephew back down. "Merlin as impressive as you think you are. Even you have difficulty with heavy duty healing spells, and you are not a physician, now settle down, once you have your Barings I will allow you to walk around this infirmary, only once I am confident you are recovered enough will I allow you to go." Merlin smiled and agreed to the terms, he stood up slowly and moved towards the centre of the room, he had a plan. One that was thwarted by Gaius instantly. "stay away from the walls pillars and don't even think of laying a hand on the stone floor!" Merlin moaned at his uncles words, of course the old man had worked out that Merlin could only teleport himself through stone, by touching it with his hands. He saluted at his mentor and wondered around the room trying to find a patch of wall Gaius couldn't see.
"Bellanor! We can handle ourselves here Merlin will be back to health soon I am certain of it, but this is my daughters doing, I fear the prince will be baring the brunt of it." Uthur shouted up at Bellanor who was riding her wyvern. It was a sight he knew he would never get used to. Malcolm threw his shield in front of the king and felt a griffin claw hit his shield. He spun round and buried his sword into its neck he felt the flame extinguish. Bellanor swooped down and landed near the small group of knights surrounding the king, she replenished the spell on their weapons and nodded. "Take care. All of you, may fate smile kindly on you all" none of them understood what she had said but they could tell it wasn't bad because she had a warm smile on her face one they had seen on her twin many times. She kicked the wyvern in the side and flew off into the air.
"For the love of Camelot" Malcolm said in his quiet voice as he raised his sword of blue fire. "For the love of Camelot" he repeated, a couple of other knights joined in this time. Uthur, who had been standing there silently watching the skys in his own little world, turned towards the knights on hearing their words, he looked directly at sir Malcolm's determined eyes, when the knight quietly said "for the love of Camelot" again this time Uthur joined in, raised his sword and charged towards the army of magical beast that were attacking form the air.
"I'm getting to old for this Uthur" the eldest knight said as he threw a spear and pinned a griffin to the wall. Uthur smiled. "Sir Ulvic I'm, sure I distinctly remember you saying that you refused to grow old and never fight again." The king spun round and deflected a blow from a Wilderin, he had no idea when it had gotten in or how but he was sure it wasn't the last. Sir Ulvic laughed, he was an old man, he only had one ear, his grey hair grew in patches around various scars on his head, he moved with a limp, he should have died a thousand times over but like his grandsons this was a knight who was hard to kill. Uthur felt sad knowing that there was no way the knight would last a day but his grandson Malcolm had said the old knight saw it as a disgrace for a knight to be able to walk and not fight, the old man had accepted he was going to die. But he was going to go down fighting.
"Damn your young mind, always remembering things, just like your father" Ulvic said as he shuffled forward a few steps and managed some how to kill a griffin and two Wilderin. There it was. Uthur had often wondered if Ulvic's family were blessed or more than human, but in the end it all just came down to an uncanny knack for knowing where to hit the enemy, hard, before the opponent got a hit it, an uncanny ability to survive. A Wilderin went to kill Ulvic, the old knight jumped off his good leg and brought his sword down through the top of its head. "I'm dying today, but it will not be by such a pathetically ugly critter!" the old man shouted. Malcolm moved from the kings side having seen Merlin walking into the clearing supported by a staff, he came to stand by his grandfathers side. On the old mans other side was sir Cuthbert a one armed knight who had replaced his missing arm with a sword. Together, the three of them fought in sync each compensating for the others weakness.
Merlin spun the staff over his head and pointed it at a Wilderin which was destroyed by the energy blast that hit it. At uthurs unasked question Merlin spoke in a voice shockingly similar to Malcolm's raspy one. "mother banned me from using big spells" Uthur laughed, actually laughed, "even the great Emrys can still get told off by his parent, good to know." he said Merlin shrugged and pointed the staff again, killing a griffin. "she let me keep this though which is nice of her." Merlin muttered and swung the staff round bringing it to a halt Just as an enemy sorcerer appeared at the tip, and got knocked off his feet just by being close to the crystal.
"Why does that staff look familiar?" Uthur said over his shoulder as he fought a sorcerer, "it belonged to Ulrich. Before he tried to sacrifice Arthur," Uthur stabbed the sorcerer and turned to glare at Merlin. "What! It isn't like he needed it any more, and it's useful." Uthur just ignored what the young lord was saying and continued to glare. "It has saved your life and Camelot in the past." Merlin said, this time gaining a raised eyebrow from Uthur who spun round and stabbed a Wilderin in the neck.
Gwen ran towards the attacking soldier and kicked him in the groin, as he bent over in pain she slammed her gauntleted fist into his head. Sending him sprawling to the ground she heard a whistling she instinctively ducked and laughed as an arrow spun over her head and imbedded itself in the shoulder of one of the enemy's shoulder. She glanced to her side and saw Galahad give her a quick salute before reloading his cross bow and moving on. She saw Tristain off to the side away from the rest of their group he had his sword drawn and unlike in the past he was happily slicing his way through their non magical enemies, stealing their strength with every blow. One enemy sorcerer tried to hit him with an up-close spell but Tristain just crushed his opponents hand, threw his enemy on the ground to be trampled by the hoards.
"You shouldn't have forced him to do it. Arthur, it was not fair or wise." Arthur looked across at her but didn't say anything just kept fighting. "You know the difficulties he has had to put up with, what magic did to his," she was cut off by Arthur turning towards her "what would you have me do! Lady, Gwenevire? Hmm? What should I have done just left us vulnerable to attack? What if those things had killed one of our friends, or your brother?" She went to answer "forget it Gwen it isn't the sort of thing a woman should worry about." as soon as he said the words he regretted them, and not just because Gwen slapped him hard across the cheek and stomped on his foot. "You are lucky Tristain and I have other things to stab princess." she growled as she turned around and disappeared into battle again.
"My god, you really are hopeless without my brother to hold your hand." The prince turned round to see Bellanor just standing there, completely still paying no attention to the chaos around her. "uh, weren't you at the castle?" he asked wondering why no one was attacking them. "I was, but Merlin injured himself and it was decided I would be more useful here." she said tilting her head in a disturbingly Merlin like move. "Why do we not have to fight anyone?" he found himself asking. "My pet wyvern is a very good guard dog." She pointed up and Arthur finally saw the beast circling over head plummeting towards the ground whenever someone tried to attack its mistress or the prince. "Here I was thinking your brother was odd." he said out loud before he could stop himself, luckily she just laughed. "Yes well that's magic for you," a fireball launched from a trebuchet came hurling towards them. "Fireball!" the prince yelled, Bellanor just waved her hand vaguely in the direction of the fireball causing it to disintegrate into rubble and bury an enemy knight. "Relax sire, its all under control." she said calmly before walking off.
Gwaine appeared next to Bellanor "marry me fair maiden, I think I love you." he said. "Please you love anything with a pulse. you're only attracted to me because the others are taken." Gwaine placed a hand on his heart. "Your words wound me more than any sword ever could." he said giving her puppy dog eyes. She unsheathed her sword cut off an enemy's arm, "my magic will wound you far more severely if you don't shut up and fight dear." she said with a smile as she blocked a spell and caused vines to snare another enemy. She giggled when she heard Gwaine whimper at her words. "At least" he cut a knights neck. "Consider it" he asked bringing up his shield to protect his chest. "If my brother agrees not to turn you into a daisy" she grabbed his hand and used him as an anchor as she threw both feet into the chest of an attacking soldier. "I may consider, considering it, now shut up and fight!" Gwaine smiled a lopsided grin and saluted her. "Yes milady as you wish." with that he started fighting properly.
"Father, duck!" Lancelot crouched low as his 'son' threw a dagger at the approaching ball of fire causing it to dissipate. "When this is over I promise you will be left to your own devices Galahad." Lancelot said as he fell into position next to his son and Percival. "Father, I wouldn't have agreed to this if it wasn't what I wanted, I'm just glad I get to be with you and cousin Percival." The youngest knight said as he raised his shield and deflected more spells. Percival squared his shoulders nodded at his two companions before he lowered his shield and charged knocking their enemies out of the way and clearing a path further into the ranks. As he did this Lancelot and Galahad followed cutting away at any stragglers and defending his flank. They had been doing this for the last five hours taking it in turn to act as battering ram and defence.
Percival came to a stop and drew his sword and started helping fight back the attacking army. "Gwen slapped Arthur" Percival said conversationally, Lancelot hope his slight smile wasn't noticeable. He respected Arthur greatly and would lay down his life for the prince with out hesitation, but that didn't mean it was easy seeing him with the woman he had once loved so deeply, the woman he still knew deep down he felt for. But he had had his chance and he wasted it, so he would keep a respectful distance, it didn't mean he couldn't find amusement in the thought of her slapping him especially as she had evidently done it while wearing a metal gauntlet.
"Did she? That's nice" Lancelot had said the words out loud before he realised it. Galahad just raised an eyebrow while Percival burst out laughing. "You're lucky my cousin wasn't here to hear you say that." Lancelot smiled ruefully. "Elena knows I am devoted to her now." Lancelot stated bluntly. "You mean my motherly sister right? Not the queen of Powys." Galahad said with a smile. "Your sister boy, now enough, leave it be." Lancelot responded firmly. Seeing that the talk was over Percival and Galahad went back to concentrating fully on fighting.
"Tristain." Arthur fought his way towards his friend and fellow knight. "Tristain!" he repeated. The knight in question turned towards him and Arthur forced himself not to gasp. Tristain had one normal eye and one golden one. "Arthur if you value your well being you will not approach any closer" the knight growled, "you knew what magic did to my family, it corrupted them entirely, it killed my sister and father. Yet in your arrogance you decide to order me to use it." Arthur sighed before speaking "I'm sorry. I believed it was our only choice." Tristain grabbed a sorcerer by the arm and his hand went white hot causing the sorcerer to scream in pain. "funny, because I was certain that with both Merlin and Bellanor around, one of them would surely come to our aid, if that were the case then us knights and soldiers are more than capable of fending for our selves long enough for magical back up to arrive" Arthur went to answer but Tristain clicked his fingers and Arthur found his voice had gone, it was at this moment he realised just how strong the magic inside Tristain was, with out words the wizard-knight had cast a spell to steal his speech "no sire. Open your eyes, because that young lady over there fighting along side Gwaine looks surprisingly like Bellanor, a sorceress whose power is so great that she, like her brother, is above corruption. Have you noticed that the griffins have stopped attacking? That was her doing."
Arthur sheathed his sword marched up to the young knight in front of him and ignoring the epic battle that was raging around them pulled his friend into an embrace before whispering "Tristain I am truly sorry, Merlin clearly has much still to teach me. I promise I will never force you into using magic again." He pulled back unsheathed his sword and started fighting along side his 'brother's' lover. "But I will not apologise for a tactic that saved our lives, what you did, we wouldn't be alive now without you and your magic. I'm sorry I forced you into it, but Merlin's magic has saved my life more times than I can count, so maybe when this is over you should get him and Gaius to train you in some simple magic. It is a tool; you have it at your disposal why not use a tiny fraction of it to aid you?" Tristain was quiet for a bit, his right eye went back to its normal colour. "I may consider it. But if you ever force me into something I don't like again then the pendragon dynasty will come to an abrupt halt." Arthur took a deep breath and started fighting his way towards Gwen, he had to apologise.
BLOOD BROTHERS! dum dum daaaaaahhhm! yeah, for me them being 'like brothers' wasn't enough so of course i had to make them blood brothers, and tristain can do magic! not that he wants to, and yeah it will take time for him to forgive arthur fully. i'm leaving it to you to decide how serious tristains threat was.
