Summary
The knight grasps Merlin’s hair, cracks his head against the table, but then suddenly he’s gone, and Merlin wonders if he’s imagining it, if his body is shutting down and just not feeling anymore. He sinks to the ground and flips over, shaking, to see the knight on his knees, a sword at his throat, and holding the sword—
Arthur, red in the face, eyes wild. When he speaks, his voice is dangerously calm.
Warning for a violent physical assault & attempted sexual assault.

Summary
Their captor grabs Arthur, pressing a knife tightly to his throat.
“Got any confessions for me now, boy?” The man snarls, his gaze fixed almost feverishly on Merlin.
There’s a look on Merlin’s face that Arthur has never seen before. “Forgive me,” he says, and his voice is flat and hollow and sorry. Then, between one breath and the next, the fear on his face is replaced by determination.
His eyes flood with gold, and the knife against Arthur’s throat clatters to the ground.

Or,
Arthur and Merlin are captured, and Merlin, assumed to be an easily breakable servant, is tortured for information. He can handle it all, right up until the knife turns on his king.

Summary
Vaguely based on this:
It's not Arthur's fault, he thinks. How could he have known they were waltzing into the territory of gods? Sure, if he had listened to Merlin... But since when did Arthur ever listen to Merlin? He regretted that now.
"Only gods may enter"
Merlin sighs and draws attention to himself. "Well, I guess this is it."
Merlin shrugs, then turns to the impeccable door. As if to test it, he touches the wood. His hand goes through. "Shit", Merlin mutters, but doesn't look surprised. A second later, he's gone.
Arthur doesn't realize that he tried to stop him until his own hand collides with the hard wood of the door that swallowed his servant. Arthur's eyes are stuck to the sign. Slowly, very slowly, his mind connects the dots.

Summary
Coming to Camelot from Ealdor is one hell of a culture shock, that’s for sure.
There's just so many things now and Merlin has no idea how to cope with it. Luckily, he's got Gaius and Gwen. They're enough to keep his head above water.
Then there's a feast and Merlin is alone.
