Feel free to leave comments and suggestions!* ACK IF YOU DON'T LIKE SMUT, SKIP CHAPTER 12

It's been over a thousand years since Arthur's demise and Merlin has been patiently awaiting his return. He's traveled the world and gained a talented apprentice, Ellie, who helps him prepare for Arthur's return. When a group of sorcerer hunters target Albion, Arthur rises again and he, Merlin, & Ellie must prepare for the fight of their lives. [Contains some battle violence] *I don't own Merlin, any of the characters (except for my original ones), the song lyrics, or the cover photo*

Merlin slowly falls in love with Arthur, and can't take the constant pain of seeing him with Gwen every day. What will happen when Merlin quits his job as servant to the king due to feelings getting in the way?
