The Light From Darkness
Previously..
"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.
"Hello Gwaine.." Said a deep voice from the shadows.
"Who's there? Why the heck am I here!" Gwaine shouted as the chains clanged and crashed together everytime he moved. Bruises were all over his arms from the tightness of the chains and beatings.
"Me." The voice spoke again, drawing closer.
"Merlin..?" Gwaine's voice lowered then, "Get me the hell outta here! What have I honestly done aye? Give me one good reason why I should be in the bloody dump!" Gwaine was angry now, he couldn't stand the smell and sight of it all. It was dark and the silence was eery and dangerous.
"You will be fighting against me and my kind in the battle I guess. Won't you? After all, you are a knight of Camelot." Merlin spat coldly as he circled around him.
"Yes! I thought I knew you Merlin but now..I don't think I do.." Gwaine shouted, his voice echoeing.
"Oh, so I'm guessing you don't accept me for who I am either? Like Arthur!" He said Arthur's name full of hatred and venom.
"I don't mind the fact you have magic! I honestly don't care but it's how your using it! All you ever used it for was for Camelot and Arthur so why change now? Is it really worth losing all your friends for your own selfish reasons?" Gwaine sneered at him.
"Selfish reasons? The only selfish people are Camelot and Arthur! " Merlin then stood right in front of Gwaine and whispered in his ear coldly, "I assure you, next time you enter through Camelot's gates..it will not be the same Camelot you once knew."
"Your going to destroy Camelot!" Gwaine was now furious and struggled to lunge forward at him because of the chains.
"No, what would I gain from destroying Camelot? Nothing." Merlin responded.
"Then what is it? Merlin, no matter how hard you try. You will never escape your destiny. None of us can choose our destiny and none of us can escape it." Gwaine spoke, staring into Merlin's piercing blue eyes.
"Yeah, so I've heard.." Merlin pondered on the time when the dragon once told him that when he was feeling troubled.
"Gwaine, I'd like you to meet someone..or should I say, a beautiful lady." Merlin smirked as he stepped to the side to reveal a beautiful woman wearing a purple dress with a silky, soft cape and long dark hair.
"Morgana!" Gwaine was horrified, he felt as if he was going to faint right there and then.
"You betrayed us! We trusted you, Morgana! Arthur trusted you!" Gwaine's face was red from the shouting and trying to break free of the chains but it was no use. They were sealed; magical chains.
"He won't know about me, not yet at least." Morgana smirked as she smiled at Merlin.
"Tighten his chains, he needs to learn to respect." Merlin said.
Morgana then tightened the chains; making Gwaine wince in pain.
"Why are you doing this!" Gwaine yelped in agony as he fell to the floor. Morgana looked at him, disgusted.
"You'll know, eventually." They then both walked away into the shadows and left him there.
"Wait! Where are you going!" He was then left all alone in the eery darkness.
Meanwhile..
"Gwen, how are the people?" Arthur asked her.
"They're terrified about what is to come, people are fleeing Camelot in fear but they have nowhere to go!" Gwen cried panicking; pacing back and forth.
"It's alright, don't worry. I'll deal with this, alright?" He held her gently by her shoulders and brushed his hand upon her cheek.
"Yes, Arthur." Gwen smiled sweetly as he walked away and out of the courtyard into the castle to talk to the knights.
In The Special Room Where The Round Table Has Been Moved..
"Sire, when is this battle?" Lancelot questioned him.
"In three days, that's what Merlin said." Arthur replied.
"Merlin.." Lancelot whispered.
"Did anyone in this room, know of Merlin's magic before me?" Arthur voice raised.
Lancelot became nervous but then slowly put his hand up, "I did, sire."
"How long?" Arthur asked.
"Since I first came to Camelot and met him." Lancelot responded.
There was now an awkward silence in the room,
"Sire, do you think Merlin is holding Sir Gwaine captive?" Sir Leon spoke up.
"There is a possible chance." Arthur replied weakly.
"But why would he want him?" Sir Elyan asked.
"To try and force answers out of him by torturing him if he didn't?" Sir Percvial spoke up.
There was a sudden loud noise outside that could be heard miles away; a horn.
The knights rushed to the window and froze in shock.
"No..it can't be!" Arthur panicked and moved away from the door.
"B-but..he said within three days.." Arthur murmered to himself.
"We've been tricked, sire. They're attacking today!" Sir Elyan's voice shakey.
"Well no. Think I don't know that?" Arthur snorted, speaking sarcastically.
"Geez, excuse me for trying to be a good help here." Sir Elyan backed away then looked out the window again.
"Is that..?" Sir Leon froze, "My lord! It is the Great Dragon!"
"WHAT!" Arthur then shoved the knights out of the way to look out and saw the Dragon flying towards Camelot.
"Merlin.." Arthur growled in fustration.
"Sir Leon, alert all the armies and get them ready for battle! We haven't got a moment to lose!"
"Sir Elyan, you can come with me!"
"Sir Percival, make sure everyone is in their homes and all doors are locked!"
"Sir Lancelot, there will be bloodshed here, I want you with me fighting!" Athur shouted as he gave out orders.
As time passed all the armies were standing in the Courtyard, ready for the attack that was fastly approaching them.
The Great Dragon gave out an almighty roar, everyone looked up to see no other than Merlin riding the dragon.
'Merlin..' Arthur was terrified as screams broke out through Camelot.
"No..No...NO!" Arthur shouted as the Great Dragon breathed fire, burning the castle grounds and roofs.
