Merthur/Merlin one shot

Lost in the wilderness part 1

Merlin cursed his luck and knew better then listening not to his instincts. Now he was stuck out there in the woods alone. No knights and not even his Prince. It was nothing new that they ended up separated with bandits attacking and now he was really screwed.

The worst was that his magic book was home. It was bad and he had not enough knowledge. By now from how it had been at least 8 nights he knew that there would be no one finding him. The woods were unknown to him and Merlin was pretty sure that he was lost now.

His heart longed for any human interaction. By now he was even happy to see Morgana or Mordred. It was surprise that with his luck there had yet be any attacks of Bandits or meeting any human.

The slight cool autumn breeze braught shivers all over his body and he knew that it would get colder. Even with the early autumn made him know that he would need to start getting food and some clothes that would help for the bitter winter cold.

Merlin knew that he also would need to find a cave or making his own place. He cursed his luck and all he could hope that he could find a place to stay soon. A sigh escaped as he knew that he had less then a month time he would end up dead because of the cold.

Merlin had no idea what to do next. He continued his track around the woods and realizing how bad this really was. It was nearly impossible for him to find his way back to Camelot or even his home town.

He felt worried about his friends and mother. Merlin felt more worried what would happen now with Arthur without him. There had been a lot of assassins. Worst was that Uther for sure would not care about him. The male never cared about the servants. At least Arthur was different.

His mind trailed off and soon being met with a big natural stone wall. All Merlin could hope that there would be a cave near here. As he continued his walk to the right side, he soon found an entrance.

His magic had felt two beings living in there. Knowing what it could be made him feel tense but then he remembered again that usually animals liked him. All he could hope that being a warlock would help him.

At least the dragon had by now explained to him that he was magic. The reason why the Kilgharrah answered this was because of him pointing out that animals liking him. They felt that he was magic and because of this that he was as well being good with nature.

As he entered he knew that he should be fine. The cave would be big enough for him to live and he had enough time to make himself at home and co-existing with whatever animal resided there. The steps that he took echoed around and he wondered how long this would continue going on. What was astonishing was the inhuman glow that was seen. It felt magic and it made him wonder how long this had been made. This took for around 5 minutes and he knew that this would be big enough. What he could feel was that weird sense of death lingering in the air. Why he had no idea but he felt the need to get closer, maybe there was still time to rescue the deadly sick animal.

The horror and sorrow finding this injure bear and their cub made his heart ache. Because this was something that not even Merlin could help with. It was nature and he felt horrible for this.

Now that he was closer to the two he could tell that both were cautious. It was making sense and he was slowly sat down and waiting to see what they would do. Now that he sat he felt the warm floor and he also realized that he would not need to worry about the cold too much.

Yet there would be for sure be clothes and food that was needed but otherwise it would be fine. His gaze went over and he could see that slowly they relaxed and he wondered how he could help them.

"I uh am not here to cause harm, but want to help." His voice soft and this seemed to help them to know that he was not lying.

They might not had understood him but they knew that he wouldn't do anything that the two wouldn't want to. A small smile went over as the cub going over to him sniff at him and then chirping a happy tune. The nudge of the bear cub made him giggle.
