Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin, this is an alternate universe fan fiction, in which I have used the characters, places and story from the BBC TV show which I do not own.
No-One Knew
~ARTHUR~
King Arthur turned around breathless, sword in hand, dishevelled from the five bandits he was fighting off a moment ago. Now they all laid unconscious on the forest floor.
It was him again.
He stood on the rocky cliff in a dark cloak, face concealed as always, a few feet above him. Arthur caught a flash of gold beneath the hood, and a warm, pleasant sensation filled him. The wound he had received had been healed. "Who are you? Why save me?" The man disappeared. "Wait!" Arthur's cries were useless.
"Please."
It happened every time - Arthur was in a hopeless situation - outnumbered, fatally injured, at the mercy of an evil witch... whatever it may be. He appeared, and saved him, then disappeared. Why would a sorcerer save him - King Arthur Pendragon. Was magic not outlawed under his rule, was he not responsible for the slaughter of so many of the man's kind?
He owed that sorcerer so much, yet he did not even know his name, no matter what he looked like.
He owed him so much.
A/N : To all who have read the above, this is some of my first attempts at fan fiction. I have no idea about what all of you will think, but I promise that this all makes sense in my head. If anyone has any questions, I will be more than happy to answer so please do not hesitate to drop me a PM or review. I am also happy to receive any suggestions and comments for the upcoming chapters as I do intend to take this ahead further - I will do my best to make the chapters longer - I am very conscious that this author's note is actually longer than the chapter! Finally, I have yet to receive my first review, so if any one has some spare time to write a review instead of reading the amazing works on this website, I would be very thankful. If any of you are also Harry Potter fans, please check out my first ever fan fic, The Lost Prophecy. Thanks.
