Prompt 45. Drown

Disclaimer: Merlin belongs to BBC, not me

The river had always been a calming place for Merlin. Since he was a child, its monstrous currents and terrifying depth had never bothered him, though it did his mother. At the moment he lay floating in a shallow calm near the bank, pondering. He let the water soak his clothes because it was mid-summer and the sun was hot as it beat down against his long-sleeved tunic.
Mother was sending him away, to a place called Camelot. Although he would never admit it, he was frightened. Camelot was far away -not even in the same kingdom- and he knew no one there. He would be leaving the only family he had ever known, and the best friend he could ever have. Merlin let his head sink further into the water, leaving only his nose above.

A/N: Well, I hope you liked it! He didn't drown but that's what came out! Reviews would be wonderful!
