The Blue Eyed Rascal. Merthur.

Chapter IV

Arthur reached the gates of the castle, pillars burnt and broken. Houses obliterated. Guards lay unconscious on the floor. The former prince walked and entered the palace, the entrance practically non-existent, the banners with the Pendragon crest burnt to ashes. Servants passed out on the floor.
Then as he opened the throne room, the king of Camelot, Uther Pendragon laid on the floor a large silhouette on the stood tall above him a sword in his hand raised in the air. Then-

Panting heavily, Arthur shot up from his bed beads of sweat dripping down his face. His pale face. He shivered his bottom lip quivering. Suddenly he saw a figure in his chambers, he opened his mouth but nothing came out. He buried him self in his covers praying that person didn't see him. Until he heard footsteps and something of steel being dragged across the floor. Perhaps it was his sword or a mace.

Then it went for a few moments before a voice spoke.
"Arthur, Arthur it's me, Merlin." Removing the covers from his face, Merlin saw streams of tears staining Arthur's cheeks.
Merlin wrapped his slender arms around Arthur protectively. He cooed in Arthur's ear.
He unwrapped his arms from the prince and dipped a cloth in cool water and draped it over Arthur's forehead.

"Merlin.." Arthur whimpered.

"Yes Arthur, everything alright" He said softly in a comforting tone. When Merlin was around Arthur knew everything was going to be fine.

"H-How did you know where to find me?.." Arthur stuttered as memories of the nightmare he'd just previously just had came flooding back to him.

"Gauis told me you'd been stressed lately and he wanted me to give you a sleeping draft for when you can't sleep at night." He explained.
"But since you're already awake it's pretty much pointless, if it helps do you want to talk about your nightmare?" Merlin asked and waited patiently for a reply as he rinsed the cloth.

"Camelot had been attacked, all the people were just laid down on the floor unconscious and the castle was destroyed...fabric into ash..and there was a man he was standing over my father with a sword." As he'd finished explaining he cried in broken sobs and Merlin hugged him again letting him cry on his shoulder.

"Well everything okay now, when your father wakes up you can go see him, I don't think he'd mind seeing his beloved son." Merlin smiled hoping to bring the mood up.

Half an hour later, Arthur was exhausted by crying and had fallen asleep.
When Arthur awoke, he saw how much of a loyal friend Merlin was as he was sound asleep beside Arthur's bed. To show his gratitude he picked up Merlin bridal style and laid him down on the bed.

He looked peaceful as he slept like nothing could worry him. Arthur felt his cheeks get hot and soon left Merlin to sleep.

As he left his chamber, Gwen, a serving girl to the Lady Morgana, told Arthur the king requested his presence.

"Gwen can you make sure no one goes in my room?" Confused as she was, Gwen agreed and continued with her day as a servant.
