A life of magic

the duel

Arthur was panicking he did not know what to do he could not hurt him and he knew he was going to loose that battle. the overwhelming feeling of his fathers disappointment already crept over him despite the fact that his father did not yet know. he was in trouble. there was no clear course of action. he would have to hope for the best and be defeated valiantly as to not be burdened too heavily with the shame of loosing a duel.

"fine but as i can not wield magic as a weapon you must allow me to draw my sword" Arthur shouted with as much conviction as he could muster not wanting to seem lacking in confidence or the typical air of arrogance that Arthur held around himself, but deep inside he knew that this was not going to go well. 

"very well if you think that that will give you abetter chance at besting me" Merlin didn't know what was coming over him. he did not understand what was going on, he was never like this, and he did not know whether it was his magic that was giving him the confidence to act like this or if it was just heat of the moment and as soon as the duel began he would loose it and would pay the consequences. Merlin realised that he would have to end this quickly. 

both men had realised and had begun to regret the situation. neither had realised that they shouldn't have let themselves engage in this way and yet they were going to let it happen anyway.

and all at once Arthur thrust his sword towards Merlin and he narrowly dodged his eyes glimmering his signature gold and with that Merlin began to back up away from the prince, and back towards the court yard that had previously held the execution he had know idea what he was going to do but he knew that he could not even think about harming the prince. not without having a death wish. 

the duel lasted mere minuets before Arthur fell on his back and yielded as Merlin conjured a brilliant orange flame in the palm of his hand. Merlin quickly realised that he had the flickering flames in his palms and quickly extinguished them and then extended his hand out to the shook prince.

before he could realise Merlin felt an old withered hand grab his colour pulling him away quickly realising that it was gaius he tried to turn around and begin walking in the same direction himself taking care not to trip over his own feet.

"what do you think you were doing, you idiotic young boy" gauis scolded Merlin with no mercy as they walked back towards his chamber.   "why on earth would you think of having a duel with the prince" before Merlin could answer gaius had smacked him across the back of the head and walked of to finish making a salve on his desk. he turned around to Merlin and told him to get ready for doing what he had come here to do and help gaius and do his chores. "also don,t forget you shall be attending the feast later today as my helper and you shall be serving the guests" before Merlin could answer gaius walked of and busied himself with his work.
