Set during series 4 the sword in the stone when they are in Ealdor

Talks of Magic and destiny

Merlin sat at the edge of Ealdor thinking about the last few days but as he watched the happening in Ealdor he though turn to Will. It the first time Merlin come back to Ealdor since he had died. Merlin remembered he died and he lied saying he used magic so he could carry out his destiny.

Arthur come walking up to Merlin and sat down next to him "Are you alright?" asked Arthur

"I'm fine" said Merlin

"I don't think anyone is" said Arthur he paused "You're thinking you friend... the one that used magic"

Merlin was half surprise that Arthur remembered Will. "Yeh. It's odd being here and he's not"

Arthur nodded "How do you even become friends in the first place?"

"We grow up together" said Merlin "We were like brothers once. Worked to together, played together, got told off together"

Arthur listening it sounded a lot like him and Morgana "Do you friend ever used magic for evil?"

Merlin closed his eyes for a second then open them again "Will wasn't evil. He did what he though was best... he didn't always made the right chosen's. But he try to fix more the best he could" Merlin realized he was talking more about him and his magic, but Arthur didn't need to know that.

Arthur though for a bit and he and Merlin sat in silent. Arthur knew Merlin would give almost anything a try and if his childhood best friend used magic and Gaius (who almost everyone knew once used magic himself) Arthur wondered if Merlin ever used magic himself. "Have you used magic, Merlin?" Merlin didn't answer, so Arthur took it for a yes "why?"

"Why what?" asked Merlin

"Why did you used magic?" asked Arthur

"I though I would give it a try" said Merlin

"Was that before or after you come to Camelot?" asked Arthur

Merlin paused "Dose it matter?"

"Yes were you breaking the law or not" asked Arthur knowing Merlin grow up in a different kingdom with different laws.

"Shouldn't you be more worried about Morgana?" asked Merlin "And not with what I did"

Arthur looked at Merlin angry "I want to know if I can trust you. I had too many people betray me"

Merlin looked Arthur in the eye "I will never betray you. I swear on my mother life. You a prat, a royal ass but you're a good king"

"How can you be sure?" asked Arthur

"It's destiny who ever said it'll be plain sailing?" asked Merlin

"And do you have a destiny?" asked Arthur "Or is your destiny being a servant?"

`"Well it wasn't my destiny to stay here and be a framer" said Merlin

"I'm glad you came to Camelot anyway, you have be a good friend" said Arthur " So you only used magic once?"

"I would only used it if I had too" said Merlin "When I was here I try to move things with my mind... how do you think that work out?" Merlin paused "So what are you going to do? Have me killed?"

Arthur was taken back how clam Merlin seemed "If you used magic when you were living in a another kingdom I can't do anything about it. But if I ever catch you using magic in Camelot I will kill you" with that Arthur got up and walked away.

Merlin watched him go. Arthur just find out he used magic and he was still alive. It was a few seconds later Merlin realized Arthur gave him permission to used magic. As long as he didn't see.

... "Well Gaius is going to kill me when he fines out Arthur knows" said Merlin to himself and he made a promise to himself that one day he will tell Arthur the whole truth. But right here and now Merlin was glad that Arthur trust him.
