Gwaine pov
I wiped away the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand as my Father flung his arm around my shoulder. He had never been this loving when I was younger, but ever since I came of age and began my knights training he had been much more involved in my life.
"My son that was wonderful!" My father said with a large grin on his face. "You beat the kings own son!" He remarked as he removed his arm from around my shoulder.
"Thank you father." I said coldly I couldn't understand why some time I had these underlying angry feeling at my father, he had done nothing but help me become a nobel and worthy knight. But some thing about the way he smiled at me didn't make me feel proud, it just made my stomach twist as if there was some thing I couldn't remember about him, some thing I had forgotten, People, faces, places I had never seen flash though my mind since I was a child. My father would all ways tell my that they were just dreams, but maybe-
"Gwaine your bleeding!" Looking down at my arm a saw that I had a slight cut nothing mother couldn't patch up.
"Nothing to worry about, I will have mother look at it." Smiling softly at my father. My mother may not be formally train in medicine but she was good friend with the physicians wife and added with my mother passion for learning she picked up quite a lot of medical knowledge.
"You best go see her now, tell her that the king wishes to speak with me and that I will be home soon, Don't forget that your new manservant will be meeting you in our family chambers." with that my father made his leave. Walking up to the castle, I couldn't help but to think about the faces that flashed though my mind,"
Merlin pov.
I awoke with a jolt, I was sweating all over far worse than after training with Arthur and the knights. I could feel the drain on my magic,what ever Blythe and Dorchadas had done to them had drained mre considerably magically and physically. Moving my head to the side with what little energy I had I could see Arthur and the rest of the knight laying on the grass in far better condition than I was. Using my arms to try and push myself up and failing miserably as I fell back to the ground, after a few moments of silence I gave into my weariness
Still Merlin pov-(fooled you I bet you thought it was the end of this chapter!)
"Myrddin you must awaken you friends will need you if they are to save Strength." Blythes melodic voice rang though my head, as the pale light of the moon flooded my eyes. Groaning out fatigue and the soreness of my mussels, I felt as if some one had drug my over rock then jumped on my chest.
"MERLIN!" Arthur yelled from across the fire that I found myself laying by. My only response was another groan a bit louder than the last one. "Why do you have to be such a girl Merlin!" Arthur ranted as he helped prop me up against a log laying not far from the fire. I could feel my eye lids falling once more. "MERLIN don't you dare go back to sleep you have been out for all most 6 hours!" His yelling did little more than ward off my growing weariness for a moment more.
"Prt." I mumbled under my breath, the word I was trying to say was prat but I seamed that I was to tired to even insult my best friend.
"Go ahead and rest Merlin." Arthur said with that rare hint of true worry. I smiled slightly turning over snuggling in to my chest as best as could. "That fine Merlin go to sleep like the rest of them I will take first watch-" I was sure he went on for a bit longer, but gratefully I was already asleep before I could hear any more of Arthurs rant.
General pov-
Arthur had awoken leon around 1 at night leaving him the rest of the night watch.
Everyone was up besides Merlin and Arthur.
Leon and Percival looked down at the two sleeping people at their feet Percival gave Leon a slightly suggestive look raising one eye brow looking right at the water skin that Merlin had tied to his belt.
Leon considered himself to he vary serous and focused man, and he would never do any thing to publicly embarrass his king, but he didn't have to do any thing to the king, there was always Merlin. Looking Percival with the rare glisten of mischief in his eyes. Percival handed Leon the Water skin, slowly pulling the cork and dripping a bit of water on to Merlins face, Percival seamed disappoint that Leon hadn't dumped the whole water skin on Merlin. Merlin gave a yelp a the water hit his face.
"Leon!?" Merlin was shocked Arthur he expected to do something like this but leon! Leon held out his hand to give Merlin the water skin.
"I think Arthur need to get up now." Leon remarked as Merlin took the water skin from his hand. And with a slight smile Merlin walked over to his sleeping master. Dumping more than half of the water skin right on his face. Yes Merlin thought this is a good way to start the day.
"MERLIN!" Arthur yelp sputtering awake. Wiping off some of the water from his face with the back of his hand. Yes Merlin remarked to himself this was a perfect way to start the day.
Merlin,Arthur and the remaining knights made their was across the forest that they had been painfully dropped into.
"I never took Gwaine as a man who would have a kingdom in his head." Percival remarked as the saw a castle in the distance. Merlin found this odd as well he all ways thought Gwaine would have one big tavern in his head, with lots of lady's and never ending mead.
"I have seen this castle." Arthur remarked looking at the castle thoughtfully. "This castle is not as old as the one I have seen. It is King Caerleon castle. Merlin was not surprised considering that his father was a knight of Caerleon.
"Where will we find Gwaine in this place?" Leon remarked as they passed through the gate. There were not any guards posted at the gate.
"The tavern?" Percival said with a slight smile on his face. As they made there way in the the center of court yard.
"Is that Gwaine?!" Merlin whisperer to the group. He remarked as he younger version of Gwaine walk away from the training field.
"He looks younger than you Merlin!" Leon said still looking at the younger Gwaine. Merlin being the youngest person of the group by several years. Gwaine looked no older that 16 his hair was a great deal shorter, and he was all so a great deal shorter in hight. Merlin was smiling profoundly at the sight of the younger Gwaine.
"I am going to go talk to him, you guys stay here you look to conspicuous in that armor." Merlin said. Looking at the young Gwaine made his way in to the area of the castle where most of the nobles lived. Merlin walked over to the younger man
"Gwaine?" Merlin asked the younger man in front of him.. Gwaine turn to look at him looking him over for a moment. A flash of recognition played on the Young Gwaines face.
"Are you the new manservant my father told me about." Gwaine thought for a moment that he had seen this man before, but he quickly passed it off as he must be a castle servant. Merlin was shocked Gwaine didn't know him he was sure that he misremember him.
"Um... yes of course, that me the manservant!" Merlin decided that it was to good of a chance to get closer to this young Gwaine and try to get him to remember every one from Camelot.
"What you name?" Gwaine asked coldly. Gwaine was taught by his father not to get to close to any of your servants.
"Um..Merlin..sir." Merlin was feeling a bit awkward around this new Gwaine, he was going to and ack as much like a normal servant.
"Well Merlin you may meet me at my chambers at dinner time to help prepare me for dinner." Saying nothing more the young Gwaine walked away. Merlin was shocked this was nothing he would have thought younger Gwaine would act like. Looking over at his friend.
Walking over to the king and knights.
"What did he say Merlin ?" Arthur demanded.
"Not much, he thought I was his new manservant." Merlin replied.
"Ha, Merlin you just have that servant look about you !" Arthur said laughing.
"Well any way it gives me a reason to get closer to him and try and get him back to normal." Merlin said. "You guys should go find a place to hide out while I work on snapping Gawain out of this fantasy land."
"We will go get a room at the tavern, knowing Gwaine no matter what is messing with his mind there will be a tavern." Percival replied.
"Good I will meet up with you, after I deal with Gwaine." This would give Merlin plenty of time figurine out how to brake Gwaine's fathers hold on his mind. I was so strange if Merlin dident know better he would have thought this was the real world.
