For @merthurmicrofic Enemy
When Arthur saw Merlin's eyes fade from gold to his familiar hue of blue, he will admit he was left in shock.
To see the man he loved, his Merlin's magic charge forward through the bindings, cutting down the bandits that threatened to take his and the knights of the round table's lives.
He never knew magic could be so protective.
As Arthur looked towards his knights afterwards as he carefully walked forward to Merlin, he lay down his sword.
"Merlin, is not our enemy," he stated clearly to his knights, and murmurs of agreement echoed through the woods.
"Merlin, are you alright?" he asked his dazed friend gently so not to scare him.
With a light shaking of his head, the younger man collapsed in exhaustion, but Arthur reached forward just in time to stop him from hitting the hard ground.
"You're safe Merlin, I promise," he said as he cradled the man softly.
"Just rest now, everything is going to be alright," he whispered, and with a flutter of the man's once again blue eyes he went limp in Arthur's hold sleep taking over.
As he sat on the ground holding his dear friend, his most precious person whom he loved so deeply, he was confident in one thing.
Merlin and magic were not his enemies.
