sorry this took long to update, but I made it extra long to make up for it!!
And I know I said I had writers block but, I was reading through this book because i wanted to see if I could spot my own mistakes, I got an idea so sue me, hope you like it!! ( and maybe laugh a lot as I had trouble keeping my laughter in and I wrote this!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" I don't get it, how is his body here? His body is back in camelot under control of Morgana!" Arthur said, freaking out a tiny bit.

" Calm down Sire, I'm sure that there is an explanation to this. First, let's find the staff. We can take the body back with us also, so we can discuss this with everybody" Sir George said, calming down Arthur though he was freaking out inside. Why was merlin's body there? If this was Merlin's body, what was back at Camelot, helping Morgana with her dirty work? Everyone was getting a bit tired of the day, finding out merlin has magic, finding out morgana took over his body and imprisioned his soul, being put in those jobs to be rushed out, finding out he was best friends with the royal family, mordred has magic, Ambrosia is a magic kingdom, finding margin's cottage, finding merlin's body, Arthur swore that if he found out one more surprising thing today, his brain would explode.

Luckily, No more surprises came throughout the day. The next day, however, Arthur wasn't so lucky. They decided to wait until the morning to discus why Merlin's body was here and there.
" Sire, I may have an idea on how Merlin's body is here an with Morgana" Gaius spoke up the next morning
" How Gaius?" Arthur asked

" I had suspected this when Lancelot had told us what he had learned and I believe Merlin made a copy of himself" Gaius said with everyone looking at him weirdly.

" Copy?What do you mean Gaius?" Gwaine asked

" When Merlin made a copy of himself, he is using most of his magic to keep that copy going, therefore making his powers weak under Morgana's control. I believe he is also using his magic to heal himself, like digging his way slowly out of the cubile animus. The thing is, that's impossible. His magic will keep doing it without Merlin's consent also. If we let his magic continue it, I am afraid he may die, Sire" Gaius explained to Arthur

" All the more reason to get him out and we need to be quick to save him as I am not going to let Merlin die" Arthur said, making everyone nod in agreement.

" We need to figure out the spell to take over Morgana. Where is Merlin's book?" Mordred asked, breaking the serious silence.

" Got it here!" Gwaine announced, taking out the book.

" Good, Gaius can you find the spell?" Arthur asked

" Yes sire. I do have one question though" Gaius said, making Arthur's eyebrows raise a little.

" Yes, Gaius?" Arthur said

" Are you going to dis-ban magic? Merlin has had magic all his life, and he has only ever used it to save people, including you, Sire. More times than you could ever imagine" Gaius said.

" Is there a way Merlin could stop using magic?" Arthur asked Gaius, hiding his amusement.

" Well, no sire, it would destroy his physically" Gaius said, not detecting Arthur's amusement

" Do you really think the ambrosia knights, my knights, especially Gwaine, Lancelot and Mordred, Gwen, the children of camelot as well as the servant staff and well, pretty much all of camelot plus Hunith are going to let me execute or banish Merlin?" Arthur asked, letting his amusement show now.

" of course not, Sire" Gaius said with a proud smile on his face, wether it was for Arthur, Merlin or Merlin's friends- no, family, was beyond everyones' mind

" Of course I'm going to dis-ban magic! Besides, Merlin has been drilling the idea in my head over the years with his spontaneous moments of wisdom he seems to have every once in a while. I swear, the man is an enigma" Arthur said

" An enigma wrapped in a puzzle" Lancelot added

" With a riddle" Gwen chimed in

" And a lock nobody seems to be able to find the key to" Gaius said smiling

" Because it was swallowed by a sea monster who was killed by Arthur and buried at the bottom of the lake of Avalon cover in rocks and dirt weighing 500,000,000,000 pounds and 100,000 gallons of water" Gwaine said and laughed at himself.

Everyone stared at him wondering if he was dropped as a baby or just born mental or did he have too much mead. Most likely all three, but none the less, everyone joined in the laughing until the majority of them had tears in their eyes. After a little they sobered up but, then looked at each other and laughed even harder. This repeated for a while, for some unknown reason.

Once they stopped for good, Gwen asked him a question with some amusement

" Did you really need to turn that heart warming moment over the fact Merlin is very mysterious and riddling by making it into a laughing stock with your mental words?"

" Yes. You do learn some stuff in the tavern!" Gwaine laughed at himself, again

" Yeah, do not go to the tavern with Gwaine!" Leon laughed

" That must be why Merlin has some sort of mental affliction, he spends as much time in the tavern as Gwaine!" Arthur laughed

" Actually Sire..." Gains started with a sheepish expression on his face

" What now?!" Arthur asked with wide eyes

" The only time Merlin is ever in the tavern, he is with you lot. Every time i say he is in the tavern or you assume so, he is off saving you life some way involving magic.Also, when Gwen was still under Morgana's spell and said he was with a girl, he was off helping a druid boy with his sick sister which was actually a trap by Morgana but, luckily The druid boy helped him but, he wasn't even a real druid. And you know Dragoon? Yeah, that's Merlin under an aging spell. But, he didn't kill your dad, that Was Morgana who put an amulet that reversed any healing spell Merlin did" Gaius said

" Anything else?" Arthur asked

" Yes, he was also Dolma, and he killed Nimueh and Morgues, and you didn't kill the great dragon, Merlin sent him away. And every time bandits attack, Merlin makes those branches fall and makes them drop their weapons. And he also was the one who saved Ealdor with that magic tornado, not Will. And he knew Morgana was evil, but couldn't tell anybody. And he knew Agravine was a traitor. And he knows so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so much more that he didn't even share with me" Gaius said making everybody' jaw drop

" Wait, so he put on an aging spell, and a dress to save people? Is that all?" Arthur asked

" He put the poultice under Gwen's father's pillow, He uses magic to do his chores sometimes, he got a serket sting and survived, when you first met him and later you had that fight, he was using magic, and he uses magic to cheat when you guys are gambling" Gaius said making Gwaine scream in frustration

" I KNEW THAT LITTLE RAT WAS CHEATING OH I KNEW I KNEW IT I KNEW IT! OH WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON HIM!!"

" Is there more?" Arthur asked, ignoring Gwaine

" Yes but, that is enough for now, he can tell you the rest himself" Gaius said

" oh and I found the spell!" Gaius said in delight and handed in to Mordred.

" Merlin and I need to have a serious talk" Arthur muttered /swore to himself
