Hey everyone, I encourage you to review this story, not for the popularity, but so that way I can get more ideas from your responses, and get a clear image at how you like how this story is going.
Anyways, sorry for the slow updates once again.
My mind and heart are at war with something, which is taking up my story plotting time.
Then I have the flute auditions that I'm working double time to practise for.
Also, there is school. In which I can't get the chance during it to type this up. Writing takes a lot off of my mind, and it helps me think, so I'm always glad, always happy, and always calm when I get the chance to write.
This chapter is the one I've been leading you onto... Hopefully. No guarantees.

Reactions of the Idiot King
Chapter twenty-six: Revelations

"We're stopping here." King Arthur snapped out after he had just led them a good five miles from any sort of trail. Merlin was slumped over on his mare, unconscious, but strapped in so he wouldn't fall.
"Why?" Gwen asked, looking at her lover with an odd expression.
"In the middle of the day?" Leon asked, sounding equally as puzzled.
"Yes. So tie up the horses, and set up a bed for Merlin to rest on, George." Arthur said, "Make sure he's comfortable and you will be staying here to watch him."
"Sire." George quickly responded as Arthur jumped off of his horse.
"Just what the hell is going on?" Elyan snapped, looking at Arthur with suspicious eyes.
"Yes, Arthur." Percival spoke. "You drag us out here, we don't have any equipment except for the stuff we usually have and stuff to set up camp. No hunting gear-"
"Shut your traps, all of you." Gaius said, looking at them, "He won't be kept waiting, and the longer we keep him the more puzzling anything that he will say shall become."
"It gets worse than what I've heard?" Arthur asked, surprised. Gaius nodded.
"He speaks in riddles that would take a normal person a year to solve." Gaius said, looking at all of the men, "We, however are not so normal." His eyes landed on Gwen, who had tied her horse up, everyone else following their queen's lead.
"I'll get Merlin down." Gwaine said, going over and unstrapping the boy from the saddle, gently taking him down and walking to a mat that George laid out.
"Sire, a word?" Leon asked, leaning against a tree as Arthur stepped passed him.
"What do you want Leon?" Arthur murmured, looking at the elder man.
"Is it a good idea, leaving Merlin with George?" Arthur looked over at his current manservant, before looking at his old one.
"I don't like it, not anymore than you do." The King looked at Leon, his blue eyes appearing cold and hard.
"What is so important that you would do this?" Arthur looked away, pausing for a few moments.
"We are to learn what happened to Merlin today, Leon." Arthur walked off with a smooth stride over to Gaius, who was looking at his ward with such a sorrowed look.
"Gaius, shall we go?" Arthur asked. Gaius nodded.
"It's a half mile from here." Gaius said, looking at Arthur. "Killigarrah doesn't like the fact that your men have no idea what the hell is going on."
"He doesn't?" Arthur asked, his brows knitting in a big jumbled knot as he cocked his head slightly.
"I believe, Sire, that his exact words were 'What idiot king sends his men into a blind battle, with his Lady by his side?'" Gaius said, the knights all turning to the two having heard that, Gwaine breaking out into a grin as he suppressed a laugh. The trio knew how bad that sounded. Guinevere crossed her arms, glaring at Arthur.
"We're going into a battle sire?" Elyan snapped, "Yet you didn't forewarn us, didn't have us proper for a fight?"
"No one is fighting." Arthur said, looking at the ground, then at the sky, trying to unsuccessfully avoid their suspicious and irritated glares. His eyes landed on Gwen's and he turned around, crossing his arms.
"Just don't attack, whatever you do." Gaius said, "We need to walk a half mile from here."
"What chance would we have if we attacked?" Gwaine finally opened his big mouth, a devilish glint to his eyes. "Facing an inferno of flames is not something people can survive."
That got everyone riled up with fear and anxiety. Arthur turned on his heels in an about-face sort of style, and lunged for Gwaine, only to stumble to his knees, tripping over air. Gaius sighed, rolling his eyes.
"We have no time to waste. Let's go." Gaius said, turning and walking into the woods.

Killigarrah heard the soft patter of their footsteps, the chain mail rattling with each step almost sounding like bells in the wind. His eyes kept closed, his breath even and deep as he moved his head so that he was more spread out. Rarely has he ever allowed himself to sleep curled up when the little mortal humans were around, it made him feel uncomfortable, and more like a pathetic loyal dog that played house with the humans.
The one human he cared about was Merlin, and he was more magic than anything. It had always joyed him to go to Merlin's aid. When Merlin had sent him off, Killigarrah was super worried, and had no idea where to turn to, who to speak to. His last kin was hurting in so many ways, and he had finally just snapped. Killigarrah growled at the unpleasant memory of seeing Merlin passed out, blood pooled all around the boy, several arrows in his chest.
His eyes snapped open, revealing golden eyes that quickly landed on Arthur and the stunned knights, followed by Guinevere and Gaius. They were all frozen in place, Gaius continuing past them to greet his old friend. Killigarrah lifted his head up, laying more so that he was upright, looking at Gaius as he lowered his head to the elderly man, the only man he could have possibly considered someone he liked other than a dragon lord.
"Killigarrah." Gaius said with a soft sad touch to his voice. The Great Dragon looked over at the other knights.
"I trust Merlin is safe?" His voice seemed to echo through the woods.
"Not many come this deep and far." Gaius replied.
"A dragon?" Leon gasped, too stunned to move.
"And you're a human." The dragon replied, seeming to sigh of boredom, or sadness. Whichever it was Arthur could not tell.
"I hope you all understand my reasons for calling you here." Killigarrah started, "Merlin, the last of my kin, has been withholding important information from you all, stuff that happened to him that is vital for you all to know."
"How is it that you know what all has happened to him?" Arthur asked, watching the dragon with a blank expression.
"We share a bond like no other, King Arthur, one that none other but the young warlock could understand." The dragon closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath as he suppressed the rage he got when he thought through the past five years.
"We don't have all day, Killigarrah, he's bound to wake up sooner or later." Gaius said. Killigarrah nodded, looking at them as he started his story.

Hahaha I lied... Again. I swear it's not on purpose. I pick the chapter names ahead of time... So that leads you guys on further.
So... Haha. Enjoy!
