Previously..
The Next Morning..
When Arthur had collapsed he had set up camp for them both and got firewood to keep them both warm due to the fact it was freezing at midnight. A groan was then heard.
Arthur.
"Well, it took you long enough." Gwaine said sarcastically.
"Can you at least try and have a bit of sympathy hear? Guy who just collapsed?" Arthur raised a brow.
"And your point is?" Gwaine laughed.
"Oh, never mind!" Arthur pouted, looking like a spoilt child.
Gwaine just laughed at his facial expression but eventually composed himself and calmed down after a few minutes.
"And you say I'm the insane one?" Arthur scoffed.
"Yep." Gwaine then stood up, "Com'on, we've got a long day ahead of us." Gwaine smiled.
Arthur frowned, "I'm the one who gives the orders, thank you." Arthur smiled sarcastically before having Gwaine help him onto his horse gently as they began riding off into the woods to find Merlin.
Morgana was back in Camelot by Dawn and could not stop thinking of Merlin and if he was alright. There was a sudden knock on the door.
Gwen.
"Hello, I've just came in to change your bed sheets and clean them." Gwen smiled warmly.
"Yes, well please hurry. I am quite busy today." Morgana replied, not even looking at her.
"Yes, my lady." Gwen then got to work as she began doing her chores and Morgana could see that she was working very hard to make her happy.
Sudden guilt flashed through Morgana and her body jolted.
"Morgana? Is everything alright?" Gwen was worried as Morgana stumbled as she clutched tightly onto her stomach in pain.
"Y-yes Gwen. Im fine.." Morgana replied weakly.
"You may finish your chores later. Now get out." Morgana ordered; saying it more harshly then she wanted.
Gwen brushed past her and slammed the door in anger, she was becoming angry and fustrated the way Morgana was treating her lately. Something was most definetly going on and Gwen had her suspicions that she knew where Merlin is hiding out.
Morgana sighed as she left the room, the pain suddenly vanished from her as if it weren't even there.
Meanwhile In The Woods..
As Gwaine and Arthur were fastly approaching a figure they wondered whether they should turn back or not. Arthur was not giving up though and neither was Gwaine, they wanted to find Merlin and confront him and hear it out with him.
The figure then suddenly collapsed onto the floor.
Merlin.
"Merlin!" Arthur shouted, he was now in front of Gwaine as he panicked and ran faster. He then jumped off his horse towards him and knelt down beside him.
The blood was still pouring from the wound Arthur had given him; Gwaine did not like this one bit.
"Arthur, I never expected it this bad!" Gwaine shouted at him as he shoved him. Arthur frowned at him then drew his attention back towards Merlin.
"He needs treatment." Gwaine spoke.
"Well, he cannot come back in Camelot. They're hunting for him as we speak." Arthur hissed.
"Yeah, thanks to a certain someone screwing things up with his friend!"Gwaine shouted sarcastically.
Arthur growled at him in anger, it was getting annoying now.
Merlin's body suddenly glowed a neon colour, they both stepped back.
Merlin then suddenly stood but his eyes were still closed but then opened. Arthur felt a pair of black, dark eyes staring at him.
"YOU! Why are you here!" Merlin shouted in anger as he clentched his fists.
"And YOU! GWAINE! I thought we were friends!" Merlin was now hurt and Gwaine could see that. He stepped forward towards Merlin.
"Back off!" Merlin boomed as he warned them.
"I suggest that you both leave while you still can.." His voice low, husky and dangerous.
Lightening and thunder then flashed through the entire sky, Merlin was causing this.
Gwaine and Arthur looked at each other, nodding in agreement.
They quickly made a run for it and got back on their horses. As they started riding Arthur turned his head around to see Merlin fall onto the floor in agony but when he spotted Arthur staring at him he flashed his eyes at him. Arthur then turned around and then rode off with Sir Gwaine into the misty forest.
There was a sudden roar behind them, making their horses rear as they both fell of them. They turned in horror to see a beast, piercing eyes staring into them.
Gwaine went ready for action when the beast gripped his arm.
"GWAINE!" Arthur shouted in terror, he was about to rush forward and help him but was stopped by Gwaine's soft voice.
"Go, I'll be fine. I never listen to you. Go!" Gwaine smiled at Arthur sadly.
Arthur hesitated at first but could see the desperation in his voice and face so he agreed and got onto his horse then rided away. A piercing scream then broke out.
A man.
Arthur rided back to Camelot as fast as he could in fear of Merlin. Now, he definetly knew he stood no chance of changing Merlin. No one did..
This was all his own doing.
Arthur barged into the Great Hall, "Father!" Arthur shouted.
"What is it you bring me news of?" Uther asked, knowing that it would not be good.
"Sir Gwaine..is missing."Arthur spoke quietly.
"Raise your voice louder!" Uther ordered.
"Sir Gwaine is ..missing!" Arthur shouted aloud, the whole castle could proably hear what he just said.
Two Months Past By,
there was still no sign of Gwaine no matter how far and hard they searched,
it was almost as if he vanished into thin air.
As for Merlin, his wound was healed eventually.
Arthur was no longer feeling sympathy for Merlin,
they both declared war against each other.
Arthur still blamed himself for everything,
none of this would of happened if he had accepted Merlin and treated him better.
Arthur and Merlin not long met in the woods together and agreed to declare war against him and all sorcery and finish this. There would soon be an almighty battle between all of Camelot's best men and armies and powerful sorcerers, even some were from Camelot; their people.
The King was now growing much weaker as he is now growing older. Arthur is struggling with how many people are traitors in a Camelot and are sorcerers but they managed to escape. Morgana smiled at this, the pressure Arthur was in. The future plot that Morgana and Merlin created was turning successfully so far. After a few days, news spreaded through Camelot that the King Uther is dying.
Morgana had told Merlin this, now it was time for the next part of their plan. Morgana told Merlin that she wanted Mordred with them, to fight with them. Mordred gladly agreed to this offer. Merlin was also a Dragonlord so he could control the Dragon and tell him to do anything he would want. Camelot stood no chance against these powerful sorcerers.
In Arthur's Chambers..
"Morgana?" Arthur asked, as he saw her standing at the door way.
"I'm sorry if I am disturbing you with something important." Morgana was about to walk out.
"No, it is fine. Sit down." Arthur spoke as he smiled at her, she too returned it.
"What is it you want to tell me?" Arthur asked her.
"How is Uther?" Morgana suddenly asked him.
The mention of his name made Arthur flinch. "Not too good. He can hardly walk now.." Arthur whispered.
"He has been a great king to all his people. You will soon make your own rules and put everything right." Morgana spoke, trying her best not to sound harsh.
"I know, Morgana. You trying to give me a lesson how to be Camelot's number one king?" Arthur spoke sarcastically.
"Not all all, Arthur." Morgana laughed.
"There are millions of sorcerers out there Arthur. Are you sure that you and your armies will be able to defeat them?" Morgana asked, putting a fake worried face.
"Well, we don't know until we try." Arthur responded as he got out of his and stood up.
Morgana looked up at him and nodded in agreement to Arthur's response.
"I shall be going now, goodbye." Morgana then hugged him, he smiled into the hug as she smirked.
Arthur trusted Morgana too much.
