Who: Arthur and Merlin
What: Fighting Monsters! Learning secrets!
Warnings: Action! Adventure! Intrigue!

Arthur hadn't had time to find the suit of armor the palace servants had taken from him. He was outfitted in leather armor instead, a crossbow on his back and his sword in his hand. At least he still had that. His crossbow was far more modern than his old one, but the sword was the same he'd had in Camelot. There would've been bloodshed if anyone had tried to take that from him.

Arthur yanked his sword from the heart of a corrupted bear, kicking the body from him onto the side of the road. The monsters were getting bigger.. More dangerous. He glanced above him to see some flying beast overhead. He reached for his crossbow as he crouched into a ready stance.

He relaxed just a little when he saw Arthur wasn't angry. He looked away from Arthur's face, he definitely felt ashamed. "I know. I'm sorry. I couldn't tell you. You would have had to turn me in. Your father would have had me killed. Then what good could I have done. I tried to use it as little as possible. I swear I did nothing but protect people with my magic." He looked up at Arthur to try and see if he hated him.

Arthur would've liked to say that Merlin could have trusted him, that he would have protected him from Uther, but he couldn't know for sure. Sometimes he hated being a prince and having duties to his kingdom.

"I trusted you, Merlin." He was very cross. Merlin had fought by his side, and all along he'd been keeping such a huge secret. Now he knew why Merlin had been defending magic users. He sighed.

	"I know. I'm sorry, I wanted to tell you, but I didn't want to either die or make you lie to your father." He knew he had betrayed Arthur, but there wasn't any other choice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Arthur wasn't sure what else there was to say. He clenched his jaw, trying to process it all. Could he blame Merlin? He wasn't sure. He just wished things could have been different. "It's getting dark. We should take shelter." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Merlin just looked at him for a moment. "I. Okay." He didn't think he'd heard the last of it, but Arthur was willing to stay around him, so it was a good sign. (Reply to this) (Parent)
