The sun rose above the castle of Camelot and the servants were up early doing their chores. All was peaceful until a tall raven-hair boy came running down the hall trying to balance a tray of food. This made the other servants smile; the boy had been working in the castle for almost a year and everyone already liked him.
"Merlin slow down, you're going to hurt yourself," said Gwen, the hand maid to Morgana and a friend of Merlin's.

"Hey Gwen," said Merlin with a huge smile.

"Let me guess. You're running late to wake Arthur up," said Gwen with amused look on her face.

"Yep, I slept in again," said Merlin with a cheeky grin.

"Well, you better hurry! You know how grumpy Arthur can get if he's woken up late," said Gwen with a smile.

"Right, bye," said Merlin as he rushed down the hall until he reached Arthur's chamber. The royal was still fast asleep so Merlin quickly put the tray down on the table and walked over to the curtains, pulling them open and letting the sunshine flood in to the room.
"Morning, Sire," said Merlin with a smile.

"Ugh, I hate when you do that," moaned Arthur, sitting up in bed.

"Hey, it's not my fault you're a lazy clotpole,"said Merlin with a cheeky grin, which made Arthur roll his eyes and throw a pillow that narrowly missed Merlin's head.

"Idiot," said Arthur as he walked over to the table and started to eat breakfast. Meanwhile, Merlin carried on with his chores while still keeping up their banter. They were interpreted by a knock on the chamber door.
"Enter," said Arthur. A second later Leon, one of the best knights in Camelot, entered.

"Sire, your father has requested that you go to the council chamber," said Leon.

"Right, come on Merlin," said Arthur as he walked out of his room with Merlin. When they reached the council room, the council, Uther, and Gaius were there already seated around the table.
"Father," said Arthur, bowing slightly.

"Arthur, I have decided to teach you more about ruling, which involves council meetings," said Uther with a smile. Then he noticed Merlin.
"Your manservant can go," said Uther with a wave. Merlin nodded and want to leave the room, but not before sending a smug smile to Arthur. It earned him a glare from the blonde so Merlin quickly dashed out the room.

Merlin spent the next hour just wondering around the castle, bored out of his mind. He somehow managed to find himself in a part of the castle that he'd never been in before. He got wandering down random hallways until one door caught his eyes. It looked really old- there were even cobwebs crossing the door, which confused Merlin, because all the doors were kept clean. Might as well have a look , thought Merlin as he opened the door with a loud creaking sound

When he entered the room it was covered in dust and had an old bed right in the middle. The room looked like it hadn't been touched in years. He walked around the room, inspecting old pieces of furniture. Then he noticed a wooden toy dragon on a drawer. He felt something familiar about the toy, so he went over to it and picked it up. Then he felt magic swarm around him and was thrown into a vision.

-Start of vision-

Merlin saw the room he had been in, but it looked different. There was less dust and no spider webs anywhere, and the furniture looked brand new. Suddenly a young woman entered the room. She had long blond hair and was quite pretty. She was carrying what looked like a toddler around 3 years old. Suddenly the woman started to talk:
"Arthur, stay here while I get your toy," said the woman with a smile. Arthur just stared gigging.

The woman walked over to the drawer, picked it up, and returned to Arthur, handing him the toy. Arthur started to make dragon sounds.
"You know you'll have to share that once your brother comes along," said the woman.

-End of vision-

"Wow, Arthur has a brother," said Merlin to himself, shocked. So many questions where running around his mind, like who was this brother, and what happened to him? Merlin decided to ask Gaius later and started to leave the room, but as he opened the door he came face to face with Morgana.

"Merlin, you're not allowed in here," said Morgana, quickly pulling Merlin out of the doorway and shutting it.

"Sorry," said Merlin, a little confused that why he wouldn't be allowed in the room.

"It's okay Merlin, no harm done, "said Morgana, giving the younger boy a reassuring smile.

"Why aren't I allowed to go in there?" Asked Merlin.

"It belonged to Arthur's mother. Uther has banned anyone from entering the room, understand?" Said Morgana with a kind smile.

"Yeah, I think so," said Merlin, nodding.

"Good, now if you'll excuse me, I need to get going," said Morgana, turning to leave, but was stopped by Merlin.

"Can I follow you? I have no idea how I ended up in the part of the castle," said Merlin, which earned a chuckle from Morgana.

"Sure, come on," said Morgana as they started to walk back to the main part of the castle.
