While on a camping trip, Merlin was obviously exhausted as he'd been acting strange all day. As he falls asleep, Gwaine finds a small leather bound journal hidden away in the servants coat, which he soon learns is a journal. He reads a few to himself, then to the Knights. They all soon realize how sad and how seemingly alone Merlin believes he is. They all realize, just how little they know about Merlin. [Hint: The Knights and Arthur learn about Freya!]

(A Merlin Fanfiction) Merlin and the knights were gathered around a campfire during a patrol, a simple bragging contest turns into something much deeper when the knights see Merlin's scars. They find out startling truths about their young friend.

. "This story is perhaps the best Merlin-fanfic I've ever read." - TheForeverChosenOne: --------------------------------- 'The great doors of Camelot flew open, announcing the arrival of the long awaited guest...' Camelot and the Kingdom of Albion are in danger and, in this hour of darkness, King Arthur is forced to call upon the help of his oldest friend: a man whom he believes has betrayed him and whom he has banished from the Kingdom. For the sake of his people King Arthur is forced to put aside his oldest beliefs and place his trust in a world that he has always been taught to fear. There is only one man who has any hope of saving Camelot but before he can overcome the darkness he must overcome the problems closer to home. The time of darkness has come. Albion's need is at its greatest. King Arthur is all but powerless. Merlin has returned.

Merlin is injured unknowingly to the others during training and then is later shot by vengeful bandits on a hunt. Arthur is forced to take his shirt off to treat the wound but when Merlin wakes he's pelted by questions because of the scars. Friendship. Whump. Scar reveal fic. Reveal fic.

He doesn't want to tell anyone the truth. But something is waiting for him, something from his past that bursts out of his memory and dusts off all the cobwebs, trying to expose his deepest secrets. Will he cave under the pressure and tell the truth? Can he even figure out the truth for himself? Or will he shoulder it alone, risking the fate of disappearing into his past forever? Merlin holds a deathly tight grip on his secrets... Will he strangle himself in the process?

The knights find out about Merlin's scars and intend to find out more. Merlin attempts to evade certain subjects.
