Summary: Merlin still had one friend in Ismere
A/N: There is so much potential for really good stories involving Aithusa and Merlin. I've read a few, but haven't seen too many. I hope to write more Aithusa drabbles in this arc. Thank you for all the reviews on the previous drabble. Your responses blew me away!
Magic 2: Aithusa
The Diamir's magic healed his cuts and bruises, but the ache in his head made Merlin drowsy. Before he knew it, he'd fallen asleep, deep under the Ismerian castle.
When he came to, it was because of a gentle nudging. The creature repeatedly rubbed its nozzle against Merlin's head, trying to rouse the warlock from his slumber. It whined softly, its voice was deep an unfamiliar. Merlin's eyes flickered open and he saw the great white reptile hanging over him.
"Aithusa…" Merlin whispered and reached out to stroke his head. Aithusa gurgled and nuzzled into his hand. Despite his pain, Merlin smiled at the dragon. "You stayed…"
Aithusa gave him a confused sideways look and garbled some more nonsense before she began to circle around and curled up next to Merlin.
"You want to keep me warm?" Merlin finally deciphered her garbling. Aithusa snorted drowsily, and was asleep in moments. Merlin smiled and pulled his dragon close to him. "Thank you my friend."
I just adore Aithusa! Don't you? I wish she...he(?) had returned to Merlin in this episode...I know my next Aithusa drabble!
Review, review, review!
