Everyone review please!

Enjoy!

Percival opened his eyes.

He looked up at a bright blue sky with beautiful, fluffy, white clouds. Moving his fingers through the light, green grass, thinking that everything was peaceful, Percival remembered exactly what had happened before he lost consciousness. Looking around, he saw nothing but bright skies, fresh grass and a creepy guy in a black clock that covered his face.

Percival jumped to his feet and went to draw his sword. However, it was not there. Slowing down, the knight thought about what was happening.

"Am I dead?" Percival asked the dark figure who was holding his scythe loosely in his bony hand.

"Why yes, Percival, you are!" the man exclaimed happily. The man's sudden happy mood slightly scared Percival. Stepping forward and outstretching his other hand he said: "I'm Death... You know, the Grim Reaper, Angel of Darkness and all those other names," he said nicely. Percival slowly took Death's hand and shook it.

"I was stabbed..." Percival started, trying to remember how he actually died.

"By the Devil, yes... He's not allowed to step out into the human world much so you were just unlucky," lied Death. The Devil came out lots of times and Death allowed him only if he killed someone every time. However, Percival did not need to know that.

Percival frowned.

"So... What do I call you?" asked the knight

"Whatever you like," was the reply.

"All right... Death –"

"So imaginative."

"– What are you going to do with me now?" questioned Percival, folding his arms across his chest, studying the man up and down.

"Well, since you did such a good job looking after your friends and have been 'pure' and 'good', you're off to Heaven... Sadly cannot say the same for dear old Uther. He hasn't been so good. Off to Hell I think... Don't think you're gonna make it to give him the little flower," Death sighed heavily and opened a book that appeared in his hands from nowhere. The Grim Reaper started to write. They both stood in silence as a cool breeze swept over them and the field they stood in.

"You poisoned Uther!" Percival suddenly exclaimed from nowhere. Death stopped writing. "You poisoned the King," the knight declared. Death looked up and shut his book.

"I shall not lie, but shall not confess... How did you guess?" Death asked, more than intrigued at how the knight could possibly figure it out.

"You maybe Death, but you're a bad liar, the Devil gets out a lot doesn't he?" Death was silent and still. "Your little side comment about how Uther might die was another clue and the final one was the biggest... If the forest of Karlen makes men lose their minds, ECT, ECT, then how was someone able to get the poison? It obviously had to be someone other than a human being," Percival finished, smiling at how he was able to piece it all together.

Death was silent. He said nothing. For a few minutes, all was quiet, but for the wind whistling across the fresh grass.

"If I bring you back to life... Will you promise to never, ever mention this to anyone, especially God, because he'll get super angry at me for doing something like this again," Death groaned, pouting that his master plan hadn't quite worked out. Percival frowned.

"Won't the world be out of balance?"

"Ah, please! That all went to Hell years back. The Devil just uses it as an excuse to sneak out and kill someone."

"Alright, sounds fine by me."

"'Course it does, you get to bloody live!"

Percival opened his eyes.

"Merlin... Do not mention to anyone that Death poisoned Uther, okay?"

"Sure Percival, the secrets safe with me," the Warlock said smiling. As the knights helped Percival to his feet and dragged him away, Merlin thought of simple words.

O Death...

Merlin sat down as Gaius left his chambers to go tend to Percival elsewhere. It had only taken them another day and a half after the bandit attack to get back home and Merlin was happy to put his feet up for once.

"MERLIN!" a voice bellowed, and Merlin jumped to his feet, knocking several items off the table as he went.

"Sire!" he said, standing to attention. Sighing heavily with frustration, Merlin shook his head at Lancelot and Gwaine who walked into the room. "Very funny."

"We came to say thank you for keeping us together," Lancelot started.

"Yah, if it weren't for you and how loyal you are to us lot, we'd have killed each other long back!" Gwaine finished. "Hey, is that cheese and bread?" the knight said, making his way over to the table and starting to eat. Lancelot and Merlin laughed slightly before going quiet.

"You know, while you were out, you almost revealed your magic," Lancelot whispered to his friend as Gwaine said something about how good the cheese was.

"Serious? Did anyone see?"

"No, no one saw your secret Merlin," his good friend replied and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What secret?" said a voice from the door and both knights stiffened. They slowly turned to see Arthur at the door looking at them, waiting for an answer. "Well?"

"Alright Sire," Gwaine said with a mouthful of food.

"Sire Gwaine," Arthur nodded. He then turned to face Lancelot and Merlin. Walking forward he said: "What secret?" looking between them. Merlin looked at Lancelot and stopped him from saying anything. He nodded and stepped towards Arthur. When he was so close they were touching, Merlin leaned towards Arthur's ear and whispered four words the Prince would never ever think he'd ever hear come from Merlin's mouth.

"I have a girlfriend."

"What!"

"Conunosiucs," Merlin said, and a bowl flew across the room and smashed over the Prince's head. Straight away, Arthur fell to the floor unconscious. Stepping backwards, Merlin examined his work.

"He isn't dead is he?" asked Lancelot a little worried. Gwaine bounced up beside them.

"You have magic?" Gwaine asked and Merlin held his breath. "Cool! Hey, since Princess here is knocked out, can we turn him into a toad? Please!" Gwaine wailed, excitedly. Merlin smiled and sighed happily.

"Nothing like a little light to banish the darkness," the young Warlock said.
