Summary
“How can I ask this of you?” Merlin whispered, “I was meant to bring peace to Albion, not destroy it. I’m no good if you get hurt.”
The king took his court sorcerer’s hands. They were trembling, frail things like little fledglings, and he gripped tight and didn’t let go, “Merlin. Camelot fights for what is right. Once magic was reinstated, I pledged to be an ally to you and your kind. I, and this kingdom, would be a disgrace to that promise if I did nothing now.”
Merlin gazed at him so desperately. Arthur didn’t know what to do with it. Merlin was always so strong, usually being the one to comfort Arthur. He was his best advisor, and his closest confidant, and he’d never seen him so anguished.
The golden age of Albion was here, or so Merlin thought. After learning of sorcerers in the hundreds being captured and enslaved by a neighbouring kingdom, Merlin felt more useless than ever. What use is Emrys if he can't protect his people? He had to act, but he couldn't bring Camelot into it; the risk was too high. Unfortunately, his friends didn't see eye to eye with him on that, and insisted on fighting with him. Would they come out victorious?
Would they survive at all?
