Untimely

I got this idea from Pinterest so credit to whom ever came up with this head cannon. Hope you like.

"Odins men!" Elyan shouts as he ran into the camp, sword in hand. Deep battle cris rang throughout the forest. Large men in dark knight uniform came stampeding into the camp. The nobble Knights of Camelot sprung to there feet grabbing weapons.

Merlin scrambled to his feet taking cover behind a tree as his friends began to fight. Merlin knew he couldn't just pick up a sword and jump into the fight so as always he discreetly starting using magic. Naturally he made a tree branch mysteriously fall on one of the dark knights fighting Percival, one tripping over a tree root in front of Lancelot and letting him run the knight through.

Lancelot looked back at Merlin, nodding his head in thanks along with a smirk and a wink. Merlin smiled before he was distracted by Leon falling to the ground. Merlin silently panics causing a tree to fall barely, missing Leon but taking out about five of odins men.

"What luck!" Arthur says in amusement not noticing the awkward glances between Lancelot and Merlin.

Gwaine finished off  the seemingly last of the dark knights and they all looked around slightly breathless.

"I think we should leave before anymore find us" Gwaine commented, receiving nods of agreement.

"Arthur!!" Merlin shouts stepping forward form behind the tree, pointing behind the King. Arthur turned around quickly catching a sword with his. Arthur wrestled with the enemy for a moment but quickly ended in, Arthur kneeing the enemy in the gut and killing him.

The king turns back to the others and Merlin.

"Thanks- MERLIN-" The blond switching from a thanks to a shout.

Merlins furrowed  eyebrows and small head tilt rapidly turned to wide eyed shock and a sharp inhale his lips slightly parted and all colour form he's cheeks, drained.

"NOOO!"

Everything was in slow motion to the young servant. He looked down at his torso only to see the end of a shining blade half reflecting the sunlight, half stained in what he assumed was only his own blood.

Merlin felt the blade being pulled from his back with an agonising jolt and a gasp of air. His eyes flickered. 

Elyan got to the last of Odin's knights first, pushing him to ground and placing a boot on the the mans throat. Elyan killed him almost instantly but not before seeing the sick satisfied smile on the dark knights face.

Merlin fell into Arthur with a pain filled grunt. Arthur slowly bringing Merlin to the forest floor. The other knights rushing to their friends side.

"Merlin, merlin?" Arthur voice was shaky "your going to be alright, OK? You not going anywhere" the king held Merlin brushing back his hair with one hand and the other over the wound. Blood soaked through Merlins cloths and covered Arthur's hand.

Merlin made eye contact with his King, with his friend. Arthur swallowed hard looking at how Merlin's face was sickly pale now, the only colour was the blood on his cracked and blueing lips. His bright blue eyes becoming glassy and willing themselves not to fade. He placed his hand on Arthur's and gave him a weak smile.

"When I'm gone at least try a-and find someone who-who is not as stuck up and as d-du-dull as George" Merlin attempted to joke but only really resulted in him wincing from the pain.

No one seemed to be breathing and the forests was oddly silent the only thing that anyone aloud themselves to hear was the sound on Merlins shallow breaths.
