Merlin's last words (Merlin Fanfic)

Chapter 1- Merlin Recieves a Message

"MERLIN!"

Merlin ran through the hallways trying to find where that voice was coming from. No doubt it was Arthur. As Merlin reached Arthur, he was tired and puffing.

"Yes, Sire?"

"Where were you?"

Arthur didn't even look down at Merlin who was hunched down holding his knees.

"I...I was with the messenger crow."

"Oh and what did you do? Stroke its beak?"

Merlin looked at Arthur with his confused funny face.

"You mean feathers?"

"MERLIN!"

Merlin went quiet.

"Now Merlin, my boots need cleaning."

Merlin looked down at Arthur’s feet and he wasn't wearing anything except socks. Merlin quickly hurried and cleaned Arthur’s boots.

"Here you go Sire, fresh and clean."

"Good and I'll need you soon. Now go off to your little stroky crow bird."

Arthur put on his boots but as he looked up Merlin was already gone.

"Gaius! I need you to do something for me."

Gaius looked up, "What is it Merlin?"

"I got a message from a long lost sorcerer and I need to meet him now in the forest. If I come late and Arthur is looking for me, tell him you sent me to get some herbs. End of the story."

"But you just can't go on by yourself like that. What if Morgana set a trap?"

"Never fear Gaius, never fear."

Merlin grabbed his bag and belongings.

"I'll be back in no time."

Merlin ran through the hallway passing the guards. But someone grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Hold it Merlin, where you off to?"

Merlin looked, "Gawain. Hah! Thought you were Arthur, shocked me there. I'm just off to get something for Gaius."

"What are you getting?"

"Herbs..."

Gawain let go of Merlin's arm and walked off. Merlin breathed in heavily and quickly made his way out.

It took him a while to reach the forest and he sat down on a rock. He needed to rest. But as he looked to the side of the tree, he saw a green eye carved on it. As he touched it, it glowed.

"There you are."

Merlin jumped and turned to see a person wearing a cape. Their boots were sharp and perfectly clean. Their cape was colour of blue like the sea. They looked unknown but a green eye glowed from under the cape.

"Who are you?"

"Me? Well you can call me whatever you like. But I shall stay unknown for now."

The voice sounded sharp but had feminine in it.

"Did Morgana send you?"

The unknown character laughed.

"Incorrect, I've come in for a mission to help destroy her."

Merlin looked at the unknown character slyly.

"I don't trust you."

"You don't have to Emrys."

Merlin froze but gathered his wits together.

"Call me Merlin and how do you know me?"

"Who doesn't? The greatest sorcerer that has ever walked on this Earth, is what they say. But me, the longest of them all."

Merlin had enough and his eyes turned orange as the hood that covered the unknown characters face flew backwards. There stood a girl with mean brown eyes that turned green.
