"Kinda hard not to be, when someone's about to stab you in the gut and he suddenly goes flying" smirked Gwaine, trying to get his wet fringe out of the way.


I thought back to the day before I knew I was going to die.

I was happy, drinking with the Princess, my brothers in arms and my best friend.

People get really emotional when their end is about to come and they can see the face of the killer as they smirked about to stab you in the gut. People say that before they are saved they can see their lifes flash before their eyes.

All I thought was that I bought the last round of the drinks.

Then the man went flying back.

His sword went flying and his limbs flying everywhere. The bandit landed on his back and drew still.

I lay there for another second before jumping to my feet.

"What have I told you about running off!" King Arthur yelled in my face.

"Did you just do magic?" I asked, needless to say I was shocked, if he, the son of the ultimate magic hater, practiced magic.

"Don't be so stupid" muttered Arthur before he smiled.

"Is he dead?" he called over my shoulder.

"Yep" said Merlin, coming and standing next to me.

"Are you sure? Do not want another Morgana incident" said Arthur. Morgana incident?

"His neck is broken as well as his arms and legs. He had no magic and he's very very dead " said Merlin.

Then it clicked.

"Merlin you have magic!" I yelled. Merlin and Arthur looked at me.

"I thought you said he was smart?" asked Arthur.

"I thought he was" said Merlin. I gaped at them.

"Wait. If you have magic, why did you bring me along?" I asked.

"The riddle said we needed the unbeatable trio" shrugged Arthur.

"And how do you know that I'm the third wheel?" I gaped.

"The Fisher King" smiled Merlin and they began to walk away.

I chased after them.

"When we went to the perlious lands?" I asked.

"Yep, Courage, Strength and Magic" smiled Merlin.

"Who am I?" I asked.

"Strength" said Arthur.

"The unbeatable trio?" I jumped in front of them to stop them walking.

"Yes. When Strength, Magic and Courage work together they can do the impossible" smiled Merlin.

"So what was the riddle?" I asked and carried on walking.

I did not miss the smile Arthur and Merlin shared.
