Magic reveal w/ Gwen has magic plot twist (rainbow_connec)
Of Wyverns and Women - Arthur/Gwen, Merlin - G
"Gwen?" Merlin asks, staring incredulously.
"Merlin?" Gwen returns, panicked. "What did I just do?"
"You just used magic."
"So did you. Didn't you? You did. I saw you." She swallows hard. "I heard you."
They look down at Arthur, unconscious but whole and unharmed.
Thanks to their efforts.
Wyverns descended from the sky. It was remarkably fast and unexpected. Arthur was knocked into a large tree and fell, unconscious.
Then, another wyvern descended, intent on scooping Arthur up for his lunch. Guinevere, unthinking, sent a bolt of lightning into the beast and it veered off, leaving her beloved untouched.
Then, Merlin raised his face to the sky and bellowed in a strange tongue, using an otherworldly voice that gave Gwen chills.
The Wyverns retreated.
Merlin and Gwen were left, staring at one another in disbelief.
"I didn't know I had m-magic," Gwen stammers.
"It'll be all right," Merlin says, doubting his own words.
They look down at Arthur again.

The next night, Merlin and Gwen enter Arthur's chambers. Gwen is trembling.
"Arthur, we have something to tell you," Guinevere says softly, taking his hand.
Merlin breaks the news; Gwen can't bring herself to say the words.
Arthur is silent for several long moments. "We cannot let Father know."
"That's it?" Merlin asks, eyes wide.
"I'm just happy you hadn't come to inform me that the two of you are eloping," Arthur sighs. "Thank you for not letting me get eaten by wyverns."
