Summary
“Right,” said Merlin quietly. “Sire.” The word tasted bitter on his tongue. “I never meant to lie to you. I was just scared- you have to understand that, right?”
Arthur shoved him again, and Merlin crumpled to the ground, his bindings straining tight against his wrists. “Just… for once in your life, stop talking. I don’t want to hear it.”
Merlin shrank back from his place on the ground. His mind was running wild with the worst possible scenarios- Arthur banishing him, Arthur locking him away, Arthur sending him to the pyre-
Horrified, Merlin’s eyes stung. Arthur hoisted him to his feet. “Get up. We have to cross the river, and then I’ll decide what to do with you.”

Summary
Merlin felt it rush past him, and then Arthur was on the ground, clawing at his throat as he gasped for air.
In the blink of an eye, Merlin’s magic tore through Sigan’s spell. Coughing, Arthur doubled over, only just catching himself on his hands, while Merlin wrestled his magic back under control.
Withstanding the urge to rush to Arthur’s side, Merlin glared at Sigan. “You will not harm him.”Ever since he defeated Nimueh, Merlin's magic is getting harder and harder to keep in check; especially when it comes to protecting Arthur. After his magic is revealed during Sigan's attack on Camelot, things are beyond tense between the two of them — and as the tension grows, Merlin's control is slipping.
