(DISCONTINUED) Merlin burst into the room, slamming the door open with all the carelessness of someone in a hurry.
"Murdock lied."
Arthur paused, his quill hovering above the parchment like a reluctant bird of prey.
"Merlin," the Prince started, his eyes already rolling, his nose already wrinkling, "I don't think-"
"No, Arthur. Murdock lied. He lied about everything."
/////
Who's to say that he shouldn't be telling the truth?
When Merlin and the knights find a boy half-drowned, they have no choice but to take him into the heart of Camelot.
Little do they know, the boy is hiding much more than just his name.

Please be Aware - this story takes place in between Season 3 and Season 4 of Merlin. Morgana has vanished from the lands and Uther is still on the throne, though broken by Morgana's betrayal. Although this plot does not directly tie in with any previous or future episodes, characters and references from said episodes will be included. Enjoy!
Disclaimer; I do not own Merlin, nor any of the characters, apart from those I have created myself :)
This story is my first - of many, hopefully! - and is a work in progress. Please enjoy <3
