5 "You'll have to catch me first," Merlin calls out, laughing as he sprints through the field.
Arthur chases after him, and Merlin turns to taunt the prince after cresting a hill. Arthur stops, smiling with the setting sun to his back. The world is lit warm, from swaying wheat to disheveled hair glowing like a crown. Merlin is unable to breathe, caught by the image of Arthur crowned in the colors of Camelot, a golden king that will unite the land. He sees the future unfold, beautiful and terrible, in an instant.
A cloud rolls over the sun, distorting the light and ending the effect. Arthur punches him on the arm, harder than necessary. “What are you staring at, Merlin?”
He smiles, returning to the present fully, “Oh, not much. Just a prat spoiling the scenery.” Arthur cuffs him again, and Merlin hopes that this will never change, whatever the future holds.
