37. Sunshine
Merlin had not been having a great year. He had lost a friend, his best friend had lost a father, he didn't trust half the people roaming the castle, and if he even suggested he might have magic, Arthur would have him executed without hesitation!
It was incredibly stressful and unpleasant, and Merlin was starting to think nothing would ever go right for him.
Then he rescued the dragon egg, and things started to change.
Aithusa.
He'd never heard the word before, nor knew what it meant, but it felt right.
Light of the sun.
Maybe things would look up.
Cheers!
