1. Planning Revenge (1/2)
afraid of himself
a/n i was watching the last episode of merlin last night on bbc one and it was so amazing, i had to write a story because i was sparked by it saying merlin will return. this fic takes place a few years after the events of de morte of arthur. it involves arthur's son. i hope die hard fans of merlin like myself enjoy.
chapter one
it was a
ight and clear day in camelot but in the mighty castle, merlin awoke from a very weird vision. it had involved arthur and some young boy but also the great dragon.
sweat poured down his face and through his black hair at the memory of the vision.
"what does it mean?
i thought i'd seen the last of the great dragon when i decided to risk my life to save both arthur and my mother.
maybe he's still down there.
i just hope arthur doesn't know.
he let magic return to the kingdom after uther died.
i hope it was just a dream." the twenty year old thought as he got up.
he had became great and learned more magical skills since nimouh was defeated. gaias had helped him learn how to make potions to heal arthur along with the knights as well as becoming a healer.
but he had a feeling not all the loose ends from his eariler years at camelot had been tied up.
underground the castle, the great dragon was planning revenge on arthur and especially merlin.
he couldn't forgive him for throwing his destiny away.
he then felt a sensation, that magic was in the castle but it wasn't merlin.
"show me where it's coming from!" he bellowed loudly.
he then saw an image of a young
own haired boy who had arthur's eyes. but they glowed with magic.
an evil smile crossed his face.
"so the young prince has magic in him, eh?
if i trained him, he could help me get revenge.
the king, his father would be too ashamed of him." he told himself cackling.
arthur's ten year old son galino was in the town square. he had soft light
own hair, artie's eyes and was slender. he was prince but was worried about that. unlike his father, he was special but arthur seemed afraid to talk about it. most of the other children in camelot were afraid of him because of his gift. his eyes glowed with amber magic as apples hovered around him from a nearby stand.
galino smiled at that. he liked using his gifts to make things hover or to make things vanish like himself when he was in trouble.
"look it's the freak!
why doesn't his father kill him?
if uther were still alive, that boy would be dead." he heard some kids and adults say.
the apples then floated back onto the stand.
"i-i'm sorry!
i didn't mean to. it just happens." galino said running off upset.
merlin had seen that as he went to get more supplies for gaias. he thought that was unfair of them to speak so badly of galino like that. true the boy had magic but he was just a child and couldn't control his magic.
he hoped that the young prince would be okay as he returned to the castle. gaias wondered what was wrong or what was on his friend's mind. he had a feeling it was to do with galino.
"where is he?
i hope he's not in danger." the elder man said.
"he accidentally used his magic in the village but he heard some of the villagers speak meanly about him.
he ran off, into the forest.
