Merlin’s POV
The man had led me to a cave. It was very homey though and he welcomed me in open arms. I sat down while he fetched me some food. “So you don’t remember anything?” he asked me.
“No nothing. You probably think I’m crazy,” I said as he passed me a bowl of soup.
“I don’t think that. I do think it’s strange though. I wonder what happened for you to completely forget your memory,” he said.
“I have no idea.” I began to eat the soup which started to warm my insides.
“I’m Jake by the way,” he introduced himself.
“Nice to meet you and thank you for helping me,” I said.
“You’re welcome Merlin,” he grinned at me.
Once I had finished eating I went outside the cave to have a bath in the river as I had mud all over me and smelled funny. Once I had made sure I was completely clean Jake gave me some of his spare clothes. I looked a little weird but it would be alright while my clothes dried.
I went to sleep that night wondering if I would ever remember who I am again. Will I ever remember how I ended up here or if anyone would be missing me or not. Would they even care? But for now I would never know or I may never know again.
Arthur’s POV
I sat down in the throne room with my sister Morgana and her half sister Morgause. Mordred stood by holding a jug of water. I couldn’t help but notice Gwen Morgana’s servant. Morgana tried avoiding Gwen serving her but no one else was available right now so Gwen had to step in.
It’s almost like Morgana doesn’t want me to see Gwen or even get to know her but I have no idea why. Why would she do that? I’m probably just thinking the worst, these days I seem to do that a lot.
“I want to discuss the throne,” said Morgana. I thought we may have one conversation without it being about the throne but clearly I was never going to get that.
“Morgana father is still alive for now I no longer wish to discuss this,” I said annoyed with her.
“Ok,” she simply said as she continued to eat her food. I shook the memory of Gwen meaning more to me then my sister’s servant but then it vanished again without a trace. I keep getting this a lot, more with Merlin but still it concerns me sometimes as this shouldn’t be happening.
“Arthur what seems to be concerning you?” asked Morgause.
“It’s nothing,” I lied. I don’t trust anyone with this; I’m not going to tell anyone about this, not even my servant Mordred. I think this secret needs to stay secret. Not sure why but I got this weird feeling inside me telling me not to tell anyone.
I stood up. “I’ve got training to do. Have a good ride,” I said before I left everyone at the table and Mordred following close behind me. We got to my chamber and Mordred helped me into my armour.
Suddenly I saw Merlin replace Mordred passing me my sword and then it vanished again before I could totally understand it. I’ve thought about telling Gaius, seeing if he could make up something for me but I don’t want him worrying or telling anyone else. I think its best I keep this to myself.
Training lasted most of the morning and a bit into the afternoon. Most of my knights need a lot of training. The only one that I would put my life in their hands is Leon. I’ve known Leon for many years and we fight together like we are a true team. I don’t know what I would do without him.
I have this strange feeling that something is wrong, since Paul left its got worse. I’m not sure why but its like my gut is telling me something is terribly wrong and I need to figure it out before it’s too late.
Merlin’s POV
“Do you still not remember?” asked Jake.
“Nothing...What if I never get it back? I can’t expect you to look after me forever,” I said to him.
“Don’t worry Merlin it will all sort itself out. We just need to have a little bit of patience,” he smiled.
“Earlier you said something...” I said to him.
“It doesn't matter," he said to me.
“Oh alright?” I say.
“What do you do to keep yourself busy?” I asked him.
“Nothing much, not for a long time,” he said to me.
“You would like to though have something to do” I asked him.
“I would. Who knows maybe you’re here to do that,” he laughed and smiled at him.
“You never know.”
Gaius’s POV
I stood in front of my desk making up my normal potions for people but ever since Paul had been banished from Camelot I felt empty and alone. I am getting on and Paul had put some kind of meaning back into my life but now he is gone and I’m left with nothing.
I still thought about Merlin, Hunith’s son and what could have happened to him. He was meant to be coming to stay with me four years ago but he never arrived. He never showed up. Merlin has been missing for four years now and we all believe he must be dead.
I didn’t know him but I knew Hunith and her son was her only thing left and when he never arrived I felt sorry for her and all these years later I still do, poor women.
Paul had been secretive I can’t lie about that but I think it was for a good reason, he has a good heart and he would have told me if I needed to know but clearly I didn’t. Uther, our king has always been ill and I think Paul had something to do with him surviving I hadn’t cured him. I tried everything in my power but Paul clearly used his magic to cure him.
Now with Paul gone and Uther as ill as ever I’m afraid we are going to lose our king and we can’t do anything to stop that. Morgana and Arthur are arguing over who gets the throne once he dies, well more Morgana. I can’t seem to stop them either. If the king dies I fear for Camelot as Arthur or Morgana aren’t ready to take the throne.
Merlin’s POV
Memory
I found myself standing in some sort of cave looking at a...a dragon. What the heck is going on? “You and Arthur are but two side of the same coin,” he spoke to me with ease. I continued to look, listen but it all vanished as Jake shook me awake.
I opened my eyes. “Merlin are you alright? You were shouting in your sleep, screaming no,” he said to me.
“I was?”
“Yeah you were.”
“I think I just had a memory,” I said to him.
“What was it?” he asked.
“About a dragon, something about I and someone called Arthur are but two sides of the same coin,” I said to him.
“Really...a dragon said this to you?” he asked me.
I nodded my head. “Ok well its start,” he smiled to me and I just nodded.
