Summary: When Arthur finds out Merlin has magic, he makes Merlin train him how to fight against sorcery. It's all going perfectly fine until Arthur decides he wants to build up a tolerance to love potions.

Merlin has trouble sleeping. He blames it on the heat... (Not my story...)

Still waiting for Arthur, Merlin has taken to becoming a world renown magician that goes by his stage name: Emrys. Set in the 21st century, what will Merlin do while waiting for Arthur to rise again? NOTE: In this story, it won't JUST be Arthur rising again, rather some/most of Camelot instead. AND... DISCLAIMER: I do not own Merlin. All rights belong to the BBC. I really do wish they'd bring Merlin back though. Isn't it time for Arthur to rise again? It is the 21st century, y'know. DISCLAIMER 2: Also, the titles will most likely all be in different languages and will be translated in the stories. I tried to keep them relevant to the chapter. I just thought it was a nice touch! Make no mistake, though, the story is DEFINITELY in English. It is my first and only language! Although, I do know a tad bit of French. UNBETA'D
