Summary
The creatures stepped forward, long, narrow muzzles agape. The sun did not deter them, merely setting their subtle scales agleam. Thick saliva dripped from their jaws, smattering on the ground, yet they did not lunge forward to strike. Instead, they waited, their gaze unblinking as they stared.
At first, Arthur thought they watched the knights, but when he shifted his stance, their eyes did not follow him, Instead, it was someone behind him who held them captivated.
Merlin.
-----
A chance encounter with a monster in the woods makes Arthur realise just how powerful Merlin's magic is, and the lengths he would go to in order to keep him safe.

Summary
"And what difference does it make, a sword and magic? You've slaughtered people who were like me, you and your father before you!" Merlin bellowed. "What do you possibly think I could have said when you went to condemn all people who possessed magic and turned away those who were most loyal to you? Turned them away for Agravaine?"
"You shall never speak to me of loyalty, you liar," Arthur spat. "You, who betrayed my trust for nearly a decade--"
"WHAT COULD I HAVE SAID," Merlin shouted. "I WANTED TO STAY BY YOUR SIDE AND PROTECT YOU WITHOUT HAVING TO BE MURDERED FOR IT."
"PROTECT ME? IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL PROTECTION? Morgana's taken over Camelot and we've barely escaped with our lives. For all I know, you've been helping her and I should have you executed for treason."
"Kill me, then," Merlin hissed. "Kill me. I dare you."

What then becomes camaraderie soon blossoms into much, much more.
