Summary
Leon had seen many kinds of acts during battle and war; he had seen anger tear down foes, grief wear away at friends, and guilt consume men who were too innocent and young to understand themselves.
He thought he had seen it all. He thought he understood danger. He thought he knew Merlin.
The agonising screams of grief told him that he was wrong.

Summary
“I’m surprised you’re even still alive, sire,” Merlin hears one of the knights saying as he approaches, completely innocent. “You know, considering the constant attempts on your life and all. I mean—”
Merlin still doesn’t know why the words affect him so much, but they do nonetheless; the bundle of firewood falls out of his arms, unbidden, and he isn’t able to hear the clattering sound it makes over the sudden ringing in his ears.

Summary
Why did they want Merlin? Did they know who he was? Or was it just because he seemed like the weakest of the group. If he does end up being captured, and it is because of his magic, how on earth will he explain it to Arthur? And how did they even know about him in the first place? The druids, Kilgarrah. Gaius and Lancelot, along with his mother, were the only ones who knew, and he knew none of them would ever betray him willingly. An ice-cold feeling ran up his spine as he thought of his mother - had they captured her? tortured her for information?
He stumbled as a sharp feeling of pain hit his leg, one of the bandits was on his heel and had lashed out with their sword, nicking Merlin's leg in the process.*
aka merlin gets hurt by bandits and arthur takes care of him
TW: mild description of a wound, its not that bad but i want people to stay safe <3

Summary
The man punched Merlin in the stomach, and even from where he was restrained, Arthur couldn’t contain a wince. Merlin hunched in pain, taking laboured breaths between gritted teeth, but he recovered quickly. He shot Arthur a reassuring smile before turning to the four other men.
“Is that all you’ve got?” Merlin said, and Arthur wanted to shout at him to stop taunting them.
“It’s not me you should worry about, it’s him,” one of the warlord’s men said, nodding towards the door.
Sure enough, a tall but lean man entered the cell, a vicious glint in his eyes and a creepy grin on his lips that sent shivers down Arthur’s spine.
Day 25: "You better start talking."
