He looked down at the floor as he plunges himself into his throne, Merlin relaxes as a surge of energy fills his body. Looking up slowly until his hunched over body is in the normal upright position, Merlin gives Arthur a wicked smile. As he sniggers to himself, his crystal throne starts to glow a turquoise green illuminating his skin making him look slightly alien. He began fondling the Pendant around his neck between his fingers, Merlin crosses his legs and flicks his hair which gleamed as white as newly fallen snow.
''Hello all'' Merlin said in a menacing tone, he tilted his head mockingly to Arthur.
''M-Merlin...your...'' Arthur attempted to speak but the word got stuck in his throat as he looked at his man-servant.
''King! yes...King of magic to be more precise'' Merlin chuckled ''its a nice title, got a nice ring to it don't you think''.
''wha-How?'' Arthur questioned unbelieving the sight before him. He turned his head to look at the other 3 men that were unconscious, he attempted to move his hands to check if they were all okay but they were tied together with some sort of silver chain.
''Its a VERY long story which i might tell you...or I might not, try and catch me on a good day'' Merlin leaned forward clapping his hands ''but wait'' Merlin spoke in realization as he looked up ''I don't like you, so don't try and catch me...because that might end badly...yeah''.
Merlin flinged his legs up in the air, he kicks back hauling himself out of the throne, almost trotting to Arthur he sided down on the cold shining floor to kneel in front of the Prince of Camelot, Merlin extended his arm towards Arthur.
''awww, Is little prince Arthur in shock?'' He asked as he grabbed his chin and forced the prince to make eye contact with him. Arthur looked into Merlin eyes, instead of the usual ocean blue they were a molten Gold, making the Warlock look authoritative and powerful. Arthur shock his head to move Merlin hand away.
''I don't understand'' Arthur spoke while his hardening gaze on Merlin, The King gave a dry laugh to his 'Masters' confusion.
Standing up, Merlin walked away from the Prince towards a large marble pillar, he spun himself around on the smooth light gray surface of the floor but stopped himself when he heard Lance and Gaius awaking.
''Lance! glad you could join us! and Gaius...not so glad...sorry'' Merlin said with glee, as he trotted towards the knight, his hair flowing back and pendant bouncing off his chest. Lance looked up at Merlin groggily but was promptly shocked awake.
''Merlin'' Gaius said under his breath.
The warlock have a slight wave to his mentor ''Hello!, had a nice nap? me and Arthur were having a nice conversation about...well, me'' Merlin said smugly ''lets catch you up, I am the king of Magic, and i have a really nice crystal throne with glows when i sit on it'' Merlin said turning his head quickly, breaking his gaze from Gaius, he galloped up the steps to his throne and sat back in his original position, legs crossed and leaned back, he titled his head to he was able to twist his hair around his finger.
''So...what now? because i'm very bored'' Merlin said waving his hands in the air ''with all this.''
''Merlin, what happened to you to make you like this!'' Arthur shouted to the warlocks surprise. Merlin's breath hitched when the Prince spoke.
''This is me Arthur, the real me, I have a kingdom and subjects, i am the most powerful warlock to live, not some helpless serving boy'' Merlin replied in a venomous tone as leaned forward to look at Arthur.
''Merlin...stop this, please, i know you and this person you are now'' Gaius raised his hand to point to his ward ''is not the person i see in front of me''. Merlin looked away from any eye contact and moved his gaze towards the floor. His arms began trembling, Merlin swung out of his seat and lifted his hands to his snow hair and gripped it in pain.
''SHUT UP!'' Merlin shouted as he walks towards a large marble pillar ''YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!'' Merlin began hitting his hands against his head with great force. All of a sudden Merlin fell to his Knees and swung his arms up to touch the pillar to stop himself from falling, he looked down at the floor panting. The three men looked at Merlin in concern, this was a long silence until Merlin spoke.
''...I'm sorry...'' Merlin breathed heavily, he began to push himself up with struggle ''Y-You need to go'' Merlin slowly walked over to the men clutching his shirt in pain.
''Merlin? Merlin what just happened!'' Lance questioned in desperation knowing they had little time left to talk to the Warlock. Lances eyes followed Merlin until he got a reply.
''I will explain late-AHHHH'' Merlin shouted in pain struggling to walk the rest of the way over to the men. They were all taken back by Merlin's scream, Arthur head shot over to look at Gaius to see if the physician's knew if there was anything they could do to help but he knew he hope was false. Merlin fell to his knees again in front of his friends, he placed one hand on his shirt where is heart was and extended the other.
''MERLIN! DON'T'' Gaius shouted in desperation knowing the Warlocks plan.
Arthur was unsure of what was happening but he then heard Merlin mutter some words in a language unknown to him, the floor began to shake violently and white light radiated from the pillars supporting the great hall. Gwaine began to wake from the shaking of the floor and the bright white lights as he looked around frantically his head shooting in all directions but his gaze stilled when he saw Merlin.
''The hel-''Gwaine was cut off as he once again fell unconscious.
