A/N: Okay, so you remember how I had Merlin get banished a while back, and then viciously attack Arthur for it? Well, I'm coming back to that tonight. And I'm about to do something that drives me somewhat batty. I'm posting the parts of this little arc out of order. Tonight's drabble is Part 2. Winter was Part 1, and Autumn was Part 3, if you want to refresh your memory.
In other news.
I finally watched the new Sherlock. Guys. There was legit crossover moment with Doctor Who. I about died. Not even kidding. I almost died from the awesomeness. All hail Mark Godtiss!
...
Ahem.
Enjoy!

116. Banishment Part 2. East
He had long stopped being afraid. In the months since he'd been forced to leave Camelot, every ounce of fear he thought he had possessed had been replaced with hatred.
For Arthur; for Camelot; for himself, even, though that part of it was starting to fade.
Merlin hadn't really had a destination in mind when he fled. How could he have? All he had was a direction.
East.
Towards the rising sun. Towards the Isle of the Blessed, interestingly enough. Almost as though it was calling to him.
Seducing him, even, with the remnants of its former power and glory.
Cheers!
