Merlin: The future of Camelot

Chapter 2: The arrivals

Description: Many sorcerers will be coming to Camelot and we will see how their normal life is

Also a few non awaited "quests" takes place about 3 months after last one

Merlin was very happy. Magic was no longer hated but treated as a gift. Merlin had a court position,he was the queens highest adviser. Many old friends, who had fled Camelot because of their gifts, were coming back. He was skipping though the hallway to the throne room. The guards let him in immediately. Inside he saw many people lined up in front of the throne "Merlin,thank you for coming!" The queen said with a very happy and exited voice "As you know I've aloud sorcerers to come to Camelot but I know that not all of those with magic are as good and kind as you or the Druids, I know that you know many sorcerers and how to tell if they mean harm so I'd like you to help me by deciding wether they're aloud to stay or not"

First one was no other than Alice "hello Merlin" she said "Alice it's nice to see you!" He said smiling and looking at Gaius "you may stay!" This continued for the rest of the day Merlin allowing almost everyone to stay. When he was finishing up he saw a party of 9 "Gwen, you might want to look up!" Gwen raised her head and gasped. One of the figures stepped forward and Gwen rose from her throne and looked at the hooded person before her.

"As your Queen, I am asking you to reveal your identity." The figure nodded then pulled back their hood, causing Gwen to scream. The person who stood in front of her was Arthur. Merlin just looked at him, slightly startled.

"Arthur?" Gwen asked uncertainly. He smiled.

"Yes, it is me. I've had hesitations about when I'd come and visit." Gwen narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Okay, then tell me something that only you and I would know." Arthur's brows creased as they normally had done when he was thinking.

"Alright. I posed as William during a jousting competition, stayed at your old home and that was when we developed feelings for each other. Oh, and you gave me that piece of white cloth, for luck." Gwen grinned. She and Arthur had agreed many years ago to use this information if they needed to test each other. It was clearly Arthur. There was one other issue though.

"Who are they?" Gwen asked, bowing her head towards the other eight people.

"Ah. I should probably explain before they show themselves." Arthur said rather hurriedly. Gwen looked at Arthur, a frown on her face.

"What's going on, Arthur?" She asked, putting on the voice that she had used when Arthur used to come back from the Tavern, not very sober.

"I'll have to explain, a lot. Well, actually, I suppose you would be okay seeing someone." Arthur went over to one of the people in the brown cloak.

"Oi! You can show yourself." Arthur said, using the tone he only used on his knights (and Merlin). The person took their hood off and grinned.

"Gwaine?!" Gwen exclaimed, surprised. Percival had told her how Gwaine had died, leaving Gwen just as numb as when Arthur had died.

"What? If he can come back why can't I?" The four of them chuckled until Gwen noticed Leon and Percival stood by the door.

"What's going on?" Leon asked. Pervical was just standing there staring at Arthur and Gwaine. Gwen went over to her friends.

"It's really them. I tested Arthur and he proved himself, anyone with Arthur I trust."

"What if he had Morgana with him?" Arthur's eyes widened and Merlin assumed it was because of the mention of his crazy half-sister.

"I'd still trust him." Arthur smiled.

"Well that's good to know, it will make my explanations easier." Arthur regretted his words as soon as he had said them. Gwen stared at him.

"What do you mean?" She asked her voice sharp.

"Nothing, well, I was just referring to the fact of, um, what would you say if I mentioned Elyan and Lancelot?" Gwen eyed the figures and tried to decipher which ones were her brother and former boyfriend of sorts. Two more people in brown cloaks took their hoods off, as if answering her thoughts. Gwen went over to her brother and hugged him tightly.

"I've missed you." Gwen whispered. Elyan hugged her back, whilst Lancelot just looked on, uncertain of what to do.

"What's with the different coloured cloaks?" Merlin asked, speaking for the first time. Arthur looked at his old servant and grinned.

"Hello, Merlin! I didn't notice you there. The cloaks are because of eye colour, not my idea, but for example, my cloak was blue because I have blue eyes." Merlin looked at the remaining unidentified figures. One was in brown, two in blue and two in green. The only person Merlin could think of who would be in green was Morgana, but there was no way that Arthur would unite with Morgana after everything that happened. And who was the person with brown eyes who had magic? Merlin had no idea and looked back at Arthur, who seemed to be improvising himself.

"Tell you what, it will be easiest if I say that I have lived amongst these people since the beginning of the year and they mean no harm." Arthur gestured to his companions, who all removed their hoods, revealing some of Merlin's worst nightmares. Morgana, Morgause and Uther all in the same room. Three people who hated him, but all for different reasons. The other two Merlin felt differently towards. Ygraine, Arthur's mother, who Merlin had never actually met, and his Father, Balinor. It felt surreal for Merlin to see his Father again.

"So let me get this clear, all of these people have just returned?" Leon asked.

"Look, Leon, I do not know why any of us are back, but we are. Can you not just accept it?"

"Not easily." Arthur sighed; he had assumed that his knights would accept him back easily. Clearly not.

"Give it a few days, well, weeks, and you'll know it is me. Okay?" Arthur asked and Leon nodded, and then pointed to the other newcomers.

"What about them?" In particular, Leon meant Morgana and Uther. Before Arthur could answer, Gwen spoke:

"Well, all I can say is that since I have been Queen, they should know that magic is no longer outlawed but-"

"WHAT! You little peasant, Magic is evil, always evil! You are gonna pay for this!",he said and drew his sword.

Merlin eyes flashed golden and Uthers sword flew to his hand "his a magician! Arrest him!..." Uther yelled looking at the guards "um guards? Get him!" He said after a long wait. The guards started walking his way and grabbed him by the arms as soon as he started to near up to Gwen with a dagger in his hand "you can not do this to me! I am the ruler of Camelot!" "There you are wrong! You might have been king once but now Arthur and myself sit on the throne!" Gwen said starting to sound pretty angry and frustrated "now Merlin would you please give my father-in-law his sword back and then show them their rooms?" She said with a much nicer voice

"Of coarse Guinevere"Merlin said and led the arrivals out of the throne room leading Uther, Ygraine,Arthur and Morgana to their old chambers, the knights to the knights quarters and his father and Morgause to two spare rooms.
