    Summary

    Aithusa is captured by King Sarrum. In order to make sure the dragon is secure and the realm therefore safe, Arthur gathers a delegation to visit the Kingdom Amata. Merlin, however, breaks as he sees the state his daughter is in. And suddenly, secrets are no longer relevant.

    Excerpt:
    His teary eyes scanned all over her body, finding it worse than what Sarrum had described. Her claws were twitching and bleeding on the dirty ground. There was no water in sight and she looked thirsty while her eyes looked milky and unseeing. Yet, she seemed to recognise him somehow. For a moment, her gaze cleared and she nuzzled her forehead against Merlin’s. Cuts among her side, red coloring her white scaled bloody.

    “Merlin, what the hell are you doing! Come back here! NOW! It will eat you!”

    But Merlin’s glare found only Sarrum’s who seemed more confused than anything. And that look, that innocence feigning, pleased expression, blinded Merlin with pure, unaltered rage. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER!”

    Summary

    “Very well.” Annis looks back to Arthur. “You will have your trial by combat. However,” she says, “I will choose your champion.”

    Arthur’s head snaps up. For a moment, he’s clearly uncomfortable, then his expression clears and he squares his shoulders. “As you wish. You have your pick of any one of my men.”

    “Him.” Annis’ eyes do not leave Arthur’s. “At noon tomorrow, your servant will fight on behalf of Camelot.”

    Summary

    “I can do magic.” Merlin said.

    His voice was as frighteningly clear as it was weak, cutting through the cold air of the forest.

    The worst part, Merlin realized, wasn’t waiting for Arthur’s verdict. It wasn’t even the certainty, that, no matter how, it would change them, rip them apart, drive a wedge between them and rob them of everything beautiful they had become.

    No, the worst part of it all, was how ridiculously little of a secret Merlin had actually revealed in the end. How much of him, still, even now, remained the harrowing mystery he had turned into, somewhere along the way.

    -

    Merlin magic reveal, but make 'em yearn for it. Also, there are bandits. Arthur doesn’t like them very much.

    Summary

    The Prince, despite his best efforts, could not stop his hand from shaking as he held his sword to Merlin’s- no, not Merlin’s- pulse. The boy tried to crawl backwards a bit, away from the sharp edge, but Arthur just moved forward with him. The sword trembled with adrenaline against the sorcerer’s pale skin. Arthur couldn’t help but notice the boy’s ruddy cheeks, bright red from the cold and exertion. The snow made light dance in his tear tracks. The neckerchief that Merlin commonly wore was discarded on the snow; It must have fallen during the fight. It left his smooth neck exposed to the cold, riddled with goosebumps, and unmarred save for the blood-soaked steel, pressing in on his pulse point. Arthur could not deny that the… thing wearing Merlin’s face was beautiful.

     

    Merlin is forced to reveal his powers during an attack. Chaos and angst ensue. I feel like most people give Arthur too much credit in magic reveals.
