Watching the past (Merlin)

The Dragons call

They were in the forest between Cenred kingdom and Camelot. A young Merlin was walking down the road with an innocent smile on his face

"Why are we watching Merlin" Arthur exclaimed

"Because my life is the best" Merlin teased weakly. Arthur being the clotpole he is did not realize there was something wrong with his friend. He was worried about what these memories would

A voice was heard "No young man, no matter how great, can know his destiny. He cannot glimpse his part in the great story that is about to unfold. Like everyone, he must live and learn. And so, it will be for the young warlock arriving at the gates of Camelot- a boy that will, in time, father the legend. His name: Merlin."

With a flicker of gold Lucy pursed the memory because she knew there would be a long conviction, everyone was frozen with shock while Merlin looked down refusing to meet anyone's eye "SORCERER" Arthur shouted with a mix and betrayal showing on his face while the rest apart from Mordred were too shocked to say anything, " You are a traitor" Arthur snarled

"I have done everything for you Arthur, I have lost too many people and I have still stayed by your side without fail, and I was born with magic I had no choice to have magic it chose me, are destiny has been written since the start of time, so you have no right to call me a trite" Merlin shouted, his voice backing at the end and his eyes filled with teas " Just pleas believe me Arthur I would never do anything to hurt you or Camelot," the warlock said.

"Why should I believe you," Arthur said with a serious face.

"Just watch these memorizes and at the end, you can judge me, but you have to keep an open mind please" Merlin begged the king

"Ok I will keep an open mind" agreed Arthur, he looked at the rest of the knights they all nod their heads

Merlin made smiled way into the lower town, smiling at everyone that passes him looking around at the rows of houses lining the streets

"You look happy to be in a city," noticed Elyan

"It was my first time outside Ealdor," Merlin said

Merlin made his way into the citadel just as King Uther addresses the crowd.

"Father," Arthur says softly. Gwen squeezed his hand in reassurance.

A man was being led onto a platform with two guards on either side and the execution in front. Uther stood on the balcony and talks down to everyone.

"Let this serve as a lesson to all. This man, Thomas James Collins, is judged guilty of conspiring to use enchantments and magic. And, pursuant to the laws of Camelot, I, Uther Pendragon, have decreed that such practices are banned on penalty of death. I pride myself as a fair and just king, but for the crime of sorcery there is but one sentence I can pass."

"The first thing your say in Camelot was an execution" Gwen gasped, Merlin just nodded

"Mate I would have run if I were you," Gawain said while patting Merlin on the shoulder

Uther raised his arm, then lowered it to signal to the executioner. The drums beat in a slow beat. He brought the ax up and swiftly swung it back down, beheading Thomas Collins.

Merlin and Mordred flinched at their kind being killed, luckily none of the others saw them.

"When I came to this land, this kingdom was mired in chaos, but with the people's help magic was driven from the realm. So, I declare a festival to celebrate twenty years since the Great Dragon was captured and Camelot freed from the evil of sorcery. Let the celebrations begin." Uther went to walk away.
