Ok, so this is set after Arthur is king and magic has been brought back. There out on a hunting trip or whatever and they come across a wyvern nest. I hope you like it!

"Merlin?"

"Yeah?"

"What the hell is that?"

Merlin looked down at the creature he held in his arms. "I believe it is a baby wyvern." He replied causally, looking back up into Arthur's incredulous expression.

"A baby wyvern?" he asked doubtfully. Merlin nodded, causing Arthur to sigh in exasperation. "You can't keep it Merlin,"

"But it's just a baby, and it's got no parents because you killed them!" Merlin accused forcefully.

"I killed them because they attacked me!" Arthur spluttered, outraged by the accusation. Merlin raised an eyebrow.

"So? That's not the baby's fault," he defended, "what happened to 'the children shouldn't have to pay for the sins of the parents'?"

Arthur opened his mouth before pausing. Merlin had a point.

"Fine, but you still can't keep it. Imagine when it grows up! There's no way you'd be able to control the thing!"

Merlin scoffed. "Dragonlord,"

Arthur pinched the bridge of his nose. He did not like the way this argument was heading.

"Still, it would cause panic," he tried, hoping beyond hope Merlin had no reply to that. Of course, Merlin being Merlin, he did.

"If she's in Camelot from being a little thing like this people will be used to her by the time she's grown up. The people will know I can control her. Besides, Kilgharrah told me that wyvern's are very easily trainable. Imagine when other kings come to Camelot, what an impression she would make guarding you,"

Arthur groaned. He didn't like the fact that he was loosing this argument, but the idea of having a pet wyvern was growing on him; as much as he hated that fact.

"Fine, you can keep the damned wyvern," he relented, watching with a small, defeated frown as Merlin grinned. His eyes then turned to the little bundle in his court sorcerer's arms.

The little, dragon like creature was rather cute; even if its parents had been lethal predators who had tried to kill him. But if it was to become Camelot's pet then he would have to learn to look past that.

He smiled slightly as her little head cuddled into Merlin's jacket, finding comfort in the man holding her. Merlin smiled softly before gently scratching the wyvern on the back of the head. She purred softly at the touch.

As much as he feared and hated wyvern, Arthur had to admit that he found her strangely adorable. One day, she would be an ally of Camelot, but at the moment she was a pet. A pet he knew would likely capture the hearts of everyone in Camelot.

Dear readers,

I know its short, but I had the urge to write something about a baby wyvern since I read it in another fan fiction; A Question of Brotherhood by Alaia Skyhawk. It inspired this little piece of almost drabble…that being said, maybe I'll have a look at doing a real drabble fic. You know, the one hundred words each kind. Please review!

I must somberly report that within the next hour Amy fell to the drabble bug. RIP
