Part 3 of the Merlin Saves (tries to kill) Arthur fic
“Gaius, is there any way to break the curse completely?” Arthur asks. Merlin is more focused on the hand resting on his knee.
“I fear the only way will be to destroy the mother beast.”
“The other eight heads?” Merlin asks, knowing the answer.
“I’ll have the knight’s prepare to ride out in an hour.” Arthur stood, his hand slipping away from Merlin’s knee as he mourned the loss. “Do you remember anything about where she was hiding?”
Merlin bit his lip and shook his head, not meeting Arthur’s eyes.
“Okay. I’ll have Gwaine and Sir Kay keep an eye on you once the snake wakes up again. For now stay here and do whatever Gaius says.” Arthur says as he steps away, then he looks to the physician. “Anything he needs, Gaius.”
“Of course, Sire.” Gaius bows his head
“Should I have George prepare your armour?” Gwen asked, standing up and already walking towards the door.
“Yes. Thank you, Guinevere.” Arthur said before leaving.
Gwen followed and Merlin looked at Gaius, a determined look in his eye.
“It can’t be killed without magic, can it?”
Gaius takes an apprehensive breath.
“Then you’ll have to get water from the well and deny that you saw me leave.” Merlin pushed himself up and made for his room, taking a bag with long flowing robes and a potion he keeps with them to keep his magic getting stuck.
Gaius was gone by the time he left his room so he scribbled a note saying “gone hunting” with an eight headed stick drawing. It… almost looked vaguely like the Fomorrah in the book. He was in a hurry. It did the job.
This part was shorter than usual, but I honestly kinda forgot this existed. There’s probably another three parts to come, but I don’t know when I’ll get to them. I’m working on it. Leon’s knowing and unknowing treason is my main priority for this week, so that’ll be the next fic thing I post.
Also I just hit 750 followers and wanted to say thank you, i really didn’t think that many people would be interested in my ramblings about tragic gays but thanks! Happy to have you here :)
