Merlin hated when Arthur enter the Tournament of Champions. He never knew what would happen.

The knight Arthur was fighting against was known for cheating back in his hometown, but how was unknown to Merlin. He watched with close eyes, trying to work out his method of cheating as Arthur gave his all.

Arthur knocked the sword from the knights hand. Merlin watched as the knight quickly grabbed his dragger. He didn't know what to do, he didn't want to interfere and cause Arthur to lose face, so he watched, trying to piece together how the knight cheats.

What Merlin didn't know was the dragger was laced with poison that paralyze its victim. Gaius pulled Merlin aside, giving him a serious look. "Merlin that's not any old dagger. It's called Hades Blade and holds poison. Anyone inflicted will suffer extreme pain and paralysis."

"We have to find a way to start the tournament before Arthur gets hurts," Merlin replied as he looked around.

"It's formed in a dragons breathe. Only magic can can stop it."

Arthur couldn't help but scream in pain as the knight struck his arm. You could hear the crowd gasping as the prince fell to his knees.

"Stop the tournament!" Merlin shouts as he ran to Arthur aid. "He's cheating!"

Arthur looked up, trying to push the boy out of harms way. "Merlin? What are you talking about?"

Arthur couldn't help but hiss in pain as he felt his body going numb. "The blade. It's called Hades Blade," Uther stood staring down at the knight.

"Is this true?" Uther asked, rising from his seat.

"The boy is clearly delusional," The knight spoke.

Merlin shook his head as he help Arthur up, supporting his weight. "Arthur, you need to believe me."

It was clear in Arthur's eyes that Merlin was telling the truth. "I-I cant feel my body, Merlin."

"Sire, I'm not lying. The daggers laced with poison.

Arthur scream as it felt like his body instantly felt like it was on fire. Merlin looked over at Gaius, being met with a knowing look. "Seize him," The guards grabbed the knight holding his arms behind his back. "You will be executed for this foolish attempt."

"Kill me and he dies. The only cure for him is magic."

Merlin held back his anger as he laid Arthur down, kneeling beside him. "I won't let you die."

"You're lying," Uther snarled.

"But I'm not..."

"Heal him

"He can't, sire," Gaius spoke.

"My son's isn't dying by the hand of evil. Arthur must live."

"The cure has to be done by a powerful sorcerer," Gaius spoke.

Merlin knew what he had to do as he tried helping Arthur up, but the painful scream the prince let out stopped him.

"I know of a sorcerer that would be willing to help. But you must allow him permission. He's been known to help Camelot for years."

Uther didn't even have to think as he nodded. As cold hearted as he was, he wasn't about to let his son die. "Do what needs to be done."

"His name is Emrys, but you know him as Merlin."

Uther's face immediately dropped as he looked as Merlin as he held Arthur's head in his lap. "I'm sorry."

"Merlin is no threat to you or the people of Camelot, but him," Gaius pointed at the knight. "He's the threat. No all magic is evil, there are those like Merlin who was born with it and uses it only for good."
