The Pendragon line, for however long it may last, would be blessed with one, specific gift.

no but imagine your dad just hired this guy to work for you whom you hate and after a few weeks of working for you, the two of you are starting to get along and then suddenly one night when you’ve dressed him in a silly hat someone tries to poison you but he calls them out and has to drink the poison himself and you watch as his body crashes to the floor. you feel your adrenaline spike as you rush to his side, leaning over his motionless body and you know in that moment you would go to great lengths to save him (over and over again)

There was something burning, simmering, deep in Merlin’s bones. It ached, tight and heavy, like the hot coals that burned in the kitchens. It was the sting of foreign magic—of something that shouldn’t have been there.
Vaguely, he was aware of his own surroundings—in the muddled sort of way he might’ve attributed to a dream. Generally, however, his dreams were less… realistic.
He stood within one of the castle’s corridors, and felt as though he was watching himself from over his own shoulder. It was the corridor just outside the armory—in the dream, Merlin’s body was apt enough to avoid the flagstone he always tripped over when he was awake. There was a sort of determination Merlin could feel, distantly, in the set of his own shoulders. There was a frown on his face, maybe, but he had no mirror to check.
He watched himself reach for the door to the armory. It swung open with the same creak it always did. The walls looked the same as they always had. The weapons were arranged as they always were. Even some of Arthur’s chain mail was set on the bench, awaiting Merlin to polish it, as he had left it the night before.
The sting rose up again, like cinders between his joints.
Foreign magic.
It wasn’t a dream.
Merlin’s hand picked up a crossbow—an old one, the wood and metal worn. Whispers crawled along his neck and around his ears, hissing, like snakes.
Arthur. Arthur. Arthur.
Leon emerged from behind the racks of spears, and hung up his sword. His face betrayed nothing but open curiosity. He spoke, but to Merlin, it sounded like nothing more than the pounding of rain on dry dirt.
Still, his mouth moved to respond without his direction. “Arthur wants a crossbow,” he distantly heard his own voice say, while, in his head, the truth echoed, in the same whisper: Merlin wants a crossbow.
I don’t. I don’t like bows, Merlin thought. He didn’t. Something was wrong—he couldn’t move. He couldn’t speak, no matter how he tried.
Leon spoke again, but it was just as muted as before. Whatever he’d said had Merlin’s hands putting the old crossbow down, however, and if he could’ve breathed a sigh of relief, he probably would have.
His body turned. Leon held another crossbow—a newer one, thicker and stronger and heavier—and fear rose within him. Still, Merlin could do nothing but watch, as if bound, as his own hands took it.
No, no, he wanted to say, desperately, I don’t want it. Don’t give it to me.
Instead, his hands loosed the bolt, and it blew a barrel apart when it struck.
No! Merlin shouted, but his body would not obey. Desperation coursed through his mind, stronger now, but still, he could not move. Could not speak. No, no, I don’t want a crossbow! I don’t want to kill Arthur!
Yes, the voice hissed. It sounded like his own, but—flat. Cold. Inhuman. Kill Arthur.
No! Leon! Leon, take the bow away! I don’t want to kill Arthur!
Merlin’s face smiled. Leon grinned back, as if they were sharing a joke.
Leon! Merlin screamed, but it echoed, alone, within his own mind. Leon, please! Take the bow away! Please, Leon, don’t let me—
The knight turned away, and Merlin’s body walked out the door without even a moment’s hesitation.
