Today started just like any other day till I heard a scream in my head. I set down my quill, and exited my chambers immediately. I barely made it to Morgana's chambers by the time the guards were knocking on her door.

"Is there a problem here gentleman?"

"We're searching for the Druid boy. It's best you stay within your chambers."

"Of course." I open the door to Morgana's chambers and slip in. I navigate to the back of the room. Sure enough, there lay Merlin and the boy. "What a coincidence. Something magical happens and I find you, Merlin, at the center of it all."

"Ahh well...umm."

"How poetic you are. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." I seem to have become Merlin's secret keeper nowadays. The small boy...intrigued me. I feel drawn to him. But a part of me...a part of me wants to run. I hold the boy as his mentor is executed. I hear his screams. I feel his pain. I can't let him die. The boy is escaping the second Gaius says he is well again. I just hope it doesn't get to out of hand.

Time skip:
Yeah...it got out of hand. Morgana, Arthur, and I are currently making plans to sneak the boy out. Almost as if cued...Merlin opens the door. He really has impeccable timing , doesn't he?

"It is none of your concern. You can make yourself useful and go muck out my stables." It always ends in the stables, doesn't it?

"I trust Merlin. You can come in." Merlin looks to Arthur before entering.

"We're breaking the boy out of Camelot tonight."

"No!"

"No? You seemed perfectly fine with protecting the boy when you were sneaking him into Morgana's chambers. What changed?" I ask, raising a single eyebrow. This boy, I swear.

"Er... I mean it's to dangerous. If you pull anything, Uther will know it's you two." Morgana and I share a look.

"He does have a point Morgan."

"Hmmm...You two have to apologize to Uther. Merlin will join me."

"Me?!"

"Yes, you Merlin."

"Fine. But if I end up pinned to another chair by my neck my spirit will personally end you both," I scowl at the two boys.

I carefully rapped my knuckles against the door. My face wats covered in dried tears. What can I say? Ever good actress dresses for the occasion.

"Come in."

"M-Morgana and I would like to apologize. W-we would never do a-anything to hurt or betray you. W-we should never had let our emotions blind us."

"Yes. W-we know that the druids would try to bring magic back in a heartbeat."

"Come, let's put this behind us and have supper together." He bought it. Line, hook, and sinker.
