The article went on to say that Arthur was planning, to use his position and wealth, to push forward action on the environment. The article quoted him saying that:
'Something had to happen. That human kind had to act and act now; they couldn't rely on governments alone. The Worlds Governments had had years to take action, and all they had to show for it was string of broken promises. The world's weather patterns were changing, causing major problems throughout the world but we, mankind, were all still polluting the world at an ever increasing rate. It was time for the people to force action on the world's leaders; it was our children's future and could no longer be put off.'
A list of influential backers was listed. At the end of the article it said that Mr Pendragon would be giving a live interview that the BBC evening, which would also be screened on all the Pendragon Corporation's networks worldwide.
Merlin checked the date on the paper, to make sure it was today's, and set off for broadcasting house as quick as he could. He got a taxi with some of his money. Once he got there he sat outside trying to think what to do next. Merlin had been sat there for an hour when he saw Arthur, going towards the door surrounded by what looked like bodyguards. There was no way he would be able to get close enough to talk to him. His head was in a spin, Arthur, was here, after all these years of waiting.
"Arthur!" he shouted at the top of his voice, but he knew Arthur hadn't heard. 'Ah well!' Merlin thought, all or nothing, he ran and tried to push though to speak to Arthur. A hand grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back roughly.
"Come on, you can't do that. Go and find someone else to bother." a voice said in his ear. He was pushed back, but tried once more.
"You are a persistent bugger aren't you, for a skinny bag of wind." the voice not only sounded amused but he recognised it.
"Gwaine it's me Merlin!" not only Arthur was back but Gwaine.
The familiar face of Gwaine looked at him puzzled:
"Sorry mate, I don't know you do I?"
"Yes you do! It's me Merlin, you idiot." He wasn't going to be turned away now.
Gwaine looked closely at Merlin with his distinctive large eyes and the cheek bones shape enough to cut, something seemed to trigger in Gwaine's memory:
"Oh my god Merlin!" then looking round he realised that the rest of the group had disappeared into the building.
"Come with me" he said grabbing Merlin and pulling him after him. Once inside the building they quickly caught up with the main group. Arthur was taken to one of the green rooms, and the rest followed in except for the two biggest men who waited outside. As Merlin was dragged into the room he was sure one of the men left outside was Percy.
Arthur and the others were soon sat down, and were being offered a coffee by a BBC official. Gwaine waited for her to leave before pushing Merlin towards Arthur.
"Look who I found outside princess." he said with a big grin on his face.
"And who is that?" Arthur sneered looking Merlin up and down.
"It's me you prat. Merlin!" Merlin shouted at the man in front of him. He couldn't believe that Arthur wouldn't recognise him. after all Gwaine had.
Arthur looked at him again. "What did you call me?" he said amazed
"A PRAT you haven't changed have you?" Merlin looked at Arthur straight in the face hoping for some sign of recognition, there was none.
