Merlins POV
I hummed a tune quietly as I scrubbed the floor of Arthur's bedchamber. Just because I accidentally dropped his breakfast, doesn't mean that I need to be saddled with extra chores. I mean, I already have to collect a bunch of herbs for Gaius, but apparently, for the prince of prats, finding herbs added to my usual chores is just not enough.
Thinking that I was alone, but not bothering to check if the door/the windows were open, I started to sing the song I was humming earlier.
What do I know-Ed Sheeran
Ain't got a soapbox I can stand upon
But God gave me a stage, a guitar and a song
My daddy told me, "son, don't you get involved in
Politics, religions or other people's quotes"
I'll paint the picture, let me set the scene
I know when I have children they will know what it means
And I pass on these things my family's given to me
Just love and understanding, positivity
We could change this whole world with a piano
Add a bass, some guitar, grab a beat and away we go
I'm just a boy with a one-man show
No university, no degree, but lord knows
Everybody's talking 'bout exponential growth
And the stock market crashing in their portfolios
While I'll be sitting here with a song that I wrote
Sing, love could change the world in a moment
But what do I know?
Love can change the world in a moment
But what do I know?
Love can change the world in a moment
The revolution's coming, it's a minute away
I saw people marching in the streets today
You know we are made up of love and hate
But both of them are balanced on a razor blade
I'll paint the picture, let me set the scene
I know, I'm all for people following their dreams
Just re-remember life is more than fittin' in your jeans
It's love and understanding, positivity
We could change this whole world with a piano
Add a bass, some guitar, grab a beat and away we go
I'm just a boy with a one-man show
No university, no degree, but lord knows
Everybody's talking 'bout exponential growth
And the stock market crashing in their portfolios
While I'll be sitting here with a song I wrote
Sing, love could change the world in a moment
But what do I know?
Love can change the world in a moment
But what do I know?
Love can change the world in a moment
I'll paint the picture, let me set the scene
You know, the future's in the hands of you and me
So let's all get together, we can all be free
Spread love and understanding, positivity
We could change this whole world with a piano
Add a bass, some guitar, grab a beat and away we go
I'm just a boy with a one-man show
No university, no degree, but lord knows
Everybody's talking 'bout exponential growth
And the stock market crashing in their portfolios
While I'll be sitting here with a song I wrote
Sing, love could change the world in a moment
But what do I know?
Love can change the world in a moment
But what do I know?
Love can change the world in a moment

At the time, I didn't know, but not only were people listening to my song, but I had accidentally imbued my voice with magic, making it so that anyone who heard it would love it, even if they would normally hate the song.

Marisol's POV
After being welcomed to Camelot by the king, the traveling group of musicians I was with, went up to our chambers to unpack. While we were almost finished, we heard a soothing, yet upbeat melody wind through our chambers from the one's above us. Me and Rachel, my roommate, locked eyes, then sprinted up the stairs, followed closely by the rest of our group of traveling musicians.
There's Todd, the drummer, Jane, who plays the lyre, Anne, the harpsicord, and Hobart, our manager, that had an impeccable musical ear. Rachel and I were the singers, but we were nothing special. Our lead singer, Sara, just recently got hired out to a local lord, and not just for her singing skills, if you know what I mean.
We all sprinted up the stone staircase, brushing past started maids, trying to catch the owner of the unearthly voice before they left. After the staircase, we burst through the crown prince's chamber's, not knowing who was in there.
"Why on bloody earth are there random commoners in my room?! Merlin!!"
Aw crap.
