Summary
Merlin goes with Arthur and the knights on a quest to retrieve the Amulet of Truth from the ancient 'Truth Keepers' in Essetir before Morgana can get her hands on it - but Merlin is convinced this is a trap set by Agravaine and Morgana.Of course, he must be proven right, and when they are cornered and out of options, Merlin is forced to reveal his magic before he and a wounded Arthur are separated from the rest of the knights.Alone in hostile lands, and with Arthur unsure of his own feelings towards his manservant-turned-sorcerer, they must find the Truth Keepers and destroy the amulet - or perhaps, make use of its powers?The journey is not simple - either way - and Merlin and Arthur must find a way forwards, a way home, and a way back to each other.
Note
Hello.I've been dead for years.Really, figuring life has been exhausting (and still is) and i've lost a lot of my enjoyment.But i miss enjoying reading and writing fanfiction and just wanted to try and find my way back to what i was a little bit.So enjoy the fruits of many sleepless nights and a mixed bag of tropes and plots that i chucked into one big cauldron.
