A/N Okay, so…well people are kinda freaking out, yes it is a little scary! But don't worry!...it uh…aw crap, I can't say it gets better or I'd be a liar. Hm Okay well ENJOY!...ish

Minatory: threatening; menacing

The king of Camelot fought as hard as he could against the two guards on either side of him, but he could not break free from their grip.

The two just clung harder to his arms until he could hardly feel them anymore. After a few more moments of useless fighting, the king finally gave in and let himself be dragged in to the burning woods of his own kingdom.

He would kill them all! He would slowly cut up the one who had planned this attack on his city, on the one who had penetrated the impenetrable walls of Camelot. He would make them pay for killing the innocents of his kingdom, he would kill the one who had taken him away from his son and his wife. The coward!

The anger was so thick running though the blond king's veins he could feel them burning.

Magic. MAGIC WAS BEHIND THIS! Once again magic was on the loose, trying to destroy every good in his precious kingdom…once he thought he could trust magic…use it as a weapon, make it an ally. He thought he could trust him.

Damn that. He had betrayed him and his Father before him. He was to blame.

And now that damned dragon and other sorcerer's were tearing apart his kingdom…and winning.

No, not winning. He knew it'd already won.

Trying to distract himself away from the red hot anger coursing through him, Arthur brushed away a few more strand of his now darkening blond hair and tried to see straight ahead. His vision was blurring from the pain in his side, and the blood that was dripping down from his forehead didn't help the problem.

He barely made out a dark figure atop a black stallion that the guards were making their way toward. Whoever it was, he would kill him. Slowly.

Finally, the king was thrown to the ground by the two dark figures who gave a short bow to leader in front of them, then slowly backed away.

The cloaked man in front of him dismounted his horse and very slowly, started to close the short distance between them.

There was something about this man that struck a familiar chord with the king, but he couldn't quite place his finger on it. He carried himself with the grace of any royalty and the build of this character was strong and sturdy, but there was something about him that made Arthur try to squint to see if he could make out the face. He had to know him from somewhere.

But there was something else, something else that chilled the burning anger that was running through his body, this had to be the man that had sent his precious city up in flames, this was the one who had planned the attack on his kingdom...and succeeded.

King Arthur Pendragon did not fear anything or anyone...Except one person.

But-that person...he was dead? Gone..? Wasn't he? He'd made sure of it…

The menacing figure in front of him kept back in the shadows, but the king could make out a light smile that played on his dark lips.

The king would've had spoken, but there was such an intense amount of pure fear that gripped his entire body that he could hardly breathe. The king did not fear anyone, but somehow, just the sight of this man made him want to run for his life.

Even if he had wanted to speak, he couldn't have, for the cloaked man spoke first.

"Hello Arthur,"

The dark voice...that voice...hisvoice. No. It couldn't be...He'd killed him ten years ago…

The stranger stepped into the light of the fire that was burning all around them...his face suddenly became visible.

Horror…Fear. Ice cold, burning fear was all that he felt.

What...?

"Remember me?" The dark haired man stepped closer to the king and leaned down next to him so he was only a few inches from his face.

Arthur forced himself to stare into the all too familiar ice cold eyes of his x-servant.

Gulping down the intense terror that was streaming through his entire body, the king forced his voice not to shake when he spoke one word...one name.

"Merlin?"

Ooooohhhhhhhh okay so they've met. DUN DUN DUUUUUNNN! So now we get to see what happens next, and YOU get to truly decide who is the evil one, is it Dark!Merlin or Dark!Arthur? So yeah I hope you enjoyed!
