Merlin had just finished a hard day's work as Arthur's servant. Helping with his armor, feeding the horses, cleaning his chambers, and most importantly, not revealing anything about the fact that he had magic. But that was all about to change, because tomorrow Merlin had decided would be the day that he would tell Arthur everything.

That night Merlin had prepared what he was going to say to Arthur the next morning. He had tried many things like, "good morning Sire, I hope you slept well because I have some big news to tell you." but that sounded a bit to rehearsed, so he thought of something else like, "good morning Sire, I know I have been your servant a long time and I know you trust me a lot and what I'm about to tell you might alarm you but I've decided to tell you anyways." But that sounded too much like he was setting up for disaster. So the young warlock decided to go with what felt right.

The next morning Merlin awoke bright and early and headed over to Arthurs chambers as usual. When he got to the door he knocked this time instead of just walking in like he usually does; he thought it would get him on Arthur's good side. When Arthur opened the door, he was surprised to see that it was Merlin. "Decided to knock today have you?" Arthur said with a grin on his face. "Yeah I thought, you know, since today is a big day and all." Merlin replied with a suspicious look on his face. Arthur looked confused and asked, "Is it? I don't recall anything special happening today." Merlin started to get nervous and walked into the room and closed the door.

Merlin moved over to the table and sat down with his hands folded, resting his chin on his hands. Arthur moved over to the bed and sat down looking at Merlin for a while before finally saying, "something's wrong…isn't it?" Merlin made no reply. Arthur, as if something inside him knew what was happening, said simply, "what is it you need to tell me?" Merlin looked up and moved over to the bed and sat down beside Arthur. This was the moment; he had to tell him, but how? Then suddenly, he realized something. It didn't matter what he said to Arthur, all that mattered was that he was being truthful to the man that he knew was a great King and an even better friend.

So Merlin decided to tell him, with three simple words… "I have magic."
