Well, not much to tell ya guys.

I'm just playing around with the plot killing time because I really don't wanna end my story... So it's turning into a bit of an off task story for a while..
Just to tell you. It'll be a while before Morgana ever regains the courage to finally decide she'll be able to kill Emrys and the king.

Reactions of the Idiot King

Chapter twenty four- Dragon's call

Merlin woke up feeling a lot more rested, opening his eyes to see an oddly familiar ceiling above his head. Jerking upright he looked around, recalling the last few days as he realised that Arthur knew he was back. He shook his head, standing up and walking out of his room. It was early in the morning, he could tell from the light in the window.
His eyes flickered to Gaius, seeing the sleeping physician as he walked to the door, opening it to reveal a very surprised Arthur. Merlin jumped back a few feet, his eyes wide as if he was a deer caught in headlights. Arthur took a step back, looking at Merlin with a slight caution in his eyes, unsure how to approach the boy.
"Sire." Merlin finally managed to say, sounding out of breath and shaky. "Did you need anything?"
"No, I was just wondering if Gauis was up yet or not." Arthur said, looking over to see the sleeping man then shifted as if he was going to turn and leave.
"He's asleep." Merlin said, his eyes telling Arthur that Merlin was thinking as hard as he could before he spoke a single word.
"Do you need anything?" Arthur asked, looking at Merlin to catch the warlock looking at him with a puzzled expression. Merlin shook his head quickly, looking away.
"No, sire." Merlin snapped out quickly.
"It's Arthur." The King replied, kind of hurt on how Merlin addressed him.
"Arthur." Merlin repeated, then crossed his arms. "Did something happen last night that I'm not aware of?"
"What do you mean?" Arthur asked, almost too quickly.
"You're keeping your distance from me as if I have a disease." Merlin said, then quickly cringed, taking a step back from Arthur. "I have magic, that's the problem isn't it?" Arthur bit his lip, pain in his eyes.
"No, Merlin it isn't beca-"
"Don't lie." Merlin snapped, his eyes almost gleaming gold for a brief second.
"Merlin I'm not." Arthur said, "I just don't know what to say to you."
"Then don't say anything." Merlin replied simply.
"You kind of attacked Gaius last night." Arthur murmured softly. "He tried laying you down, so your were more on your back and he was thrown against the wall." He saw Merlin flinch, his body tensing as he slightly paled, looking pained.
"I didn't hurt him too badly did I?" Merlin asked, looking over at the snoring figure on the bed. Arthur noticed his concern and immediate worry.
"You just shocked him." Arthur said. "He's worried about you Merlin." Arthur stepped up to the boy, putting a hand on his shoulder. Merlin jumped, whirling around to face Arthur as Arthur was thrown into the wall beside the door, looking into the man's eyes that had just flashed gold.
"I'm sorry-" Merlin gasped, backing away from Arthur with his arms tightly crossed, looking very frightened, the hidden, deep fear in his eyes again. "I'm so sorry Sire."
Arthur was instantly released from the hold against the door, gazing into Merlin's eyes softly as the fear seemed to become more prominent in the warlock's eyes. He stepped up to the warlock, moving slowly, step by step. Merlin trembled, his skin super pale from fright. Arthur put his hand on Merlin's shoulder again, feeling the black haired man cringe heavily under his touch. Arthur moved his arms around him an embrace.
"Merlin, you don't need to be afraid." Arthur murmured, "I won't hurt you." He felt Merlin's trembling worsen, Arthur biting his lip having no idea how to react when he looked over to see Gaius sitting in his bed, looking at the King with Merlin in his embrace. He stepped away from Merlin, who quickly backed away a good yard from him, the warlock turning to see Gaius awake, watching him with worried eyes.
Merlin bolted off out of the room before either of the two could speak to him, or each other. Gaius seemed to tense for a moment, gasping in shock. Arthur looked at him in confusion and concern as Gaius seemed to nod, almost as if someone had been talking to him and he was bobbing his head along in agreement.
"This isn't good Arthur." Gaius said, "Killigarrah wishes to see us."
"Killigarrah... As in the great dragon?!" Arthur sputtered, looking at Gaius with shock.
"Yes, sire." Gaius said, "He wished to speak with us about Merlin.."
"What's this about Merlin?" Gwaine's voice came from the door, the man leaning in the doorway. "What happened to him? He's in the courtyard curled up in a ball in the corner of nowhere."
"I'm not too sure. Get Gwen, Leon, Percival and Elyan." Arthur said, pausing for a brief moment before sighing, "And tell George to get the horses ready. We have an important trip to go on."
"Saddle up a horse for Merlin." Gaius said, "He must come along with us."
"He's still unwell, his shoulder-"
"Killigarrah made it clear. We are to bring him along with us." Gaius said, "Just don't tell him, or he won't come, he said the last time they spoke, they had a major falling out."
"The great dragon?" Gwaine asked, sounding shocked. Gaius nodded.
"We must leave as soon as we can." Gaius said, "he wishes to meet us tomorrow evening."
"Can we even trust him?" Gwaine asked, looking at Gaius with confusion.
"It's his kin he's protecting." Gaius said, "Besides, if he attacked us he'd be going against direct orders of the dragon lord."
"Would the dragon go against them? It's his word against Merlin's-"
"Dragon's can't disobey orders given directly by their dragon lord." Gaius said, "It works differently, they don't speak on the same terms we are right now. There is a language that the two share that none else shall ever know."
"Why does it feel like there are so many unanswered questions when we've already heard his life story..?" Arthur asked, "He was born with magic, his father was dragon lord, his magic was only ever used in my defense.. Well overall it was."
"This isn't something that you guys can just expect to have figured out." Gaius replied. "Now Gwaine, get moving, we wish to leave as soon as possible today." Gwaine nodded, walking off.
"How are we going to get Merlin to come?" Arthur asked Gaius. "This scares me, he was never like this when-"
"I will talk to the boy, Arthur." Gaius said, "The fact that Killigarrah wishes to speak with us about Merlin means that something bad is going on, or went on. Dragon's just don't go around telling people bedtime stories."
"This isn't that rare of an occurrence is it?" Arthur looked at the old physician, who looked at him then nodded.
"This is practically unheard of, Sire." Gaius stated, walking off to go and speak to Merlin.

Well, it's five in the morning... Kinda had an accident.. And to top it off I'm kinda at a friends. So I had to call my mom and wake her up... Have her drop some stuff off.
Now I have to go home before church starts and get a hat cause my hair ain't any good... Well either that or get it wet and rinsed out here.
Man. I need to rethink spontaneous impromptu sleepovers.
Well, here's the chapter that I never got to post yesterday, but this early in the morning is great, eh?
Oh and by the way... I have figured out the plot and I'm not going at random anymore!
