Well, Arthur could feel betrayed at first. He has been brought up to believe that magic is bad, and here his closest friend has been hiding this big secret. However, as he realizes how Merlin has saved his life and the kingdom many times with his magic, he might come to accept it and even see the potential of magic being used for the good of Camelot. For example, Merlin's magic has defeated many enemies secretly, which Arthur might now understand as a necessary protection for the kingdom.
In some versions of this type of fanfiction, Arthur's reaction is complex. He might be stunned into silence when he first finds out. His mind would be racing with thoughts about all the times Merlin has used his magic to save him or Camelot without his knowledge. After the shock subsides, he may have a heart - to - heart with Merlin. They would talk about the implications of the secret, and Arthur would likely start to view Merlin in a whole new light, as not just his servant but as a powerful ally with a great burden.
One possibility is that Merlin's revelation of his magic could lead to a change in his relationships. For example, his friends who were previously unaware might react with shock, some with fear and some with acceptance. His enemies, on the other hand, would likely see him as an even greater threat and might plot more vigorously against him.
One possible secret could be that Merlin is a powerful sorcerer from an ancient and powerful magical lineage. Maybe his family has a long - standing connection to Camelot that has been kept hidden.
The banter between Merlin and Arthur in fanfiction is really interesting. It can range from light - hearted jabs at each other's habits. Merlin might poke fun at Arthur's love for jousting and how he always gets a bit too competitive. Arthur could retort by mentioning Merlin's clumsy attempts at serving him. Their banter also reflects the underlying respect they have for each other despite their different social standings. It's like a friendly sparring that keeps their relationship dynamic.
She might be shocked at first. Given that in the original story Morgana has her own complex relationship with magic, seeing Merlin's magic could stir a mix of emotions in her, like envy or a sense of relief that she's not alone in her magical abilities.
Uther might initially be shocked. He has always been so against magic, so he could be furious at first. He might feel betrayed by Merlin, whom he has known for a while.
The storyline might progress with a lot of drama. People's reactions would be the key factor. If he reveals it to Arthur, for instance, Arthur's response could either make their friendship stronger or break it apart. This would then lead to different paths for Merlin, either having to hide again or standing up against all odds.
In the story, Merlin was a powerful wizard who played a crucial role in Arthur's life. He guided Arthur from his early days, often using his magical powers to protect him and ensure he could fulfill his destiny as king. For example, he arranged for Arthur to pull the sword from the stone, which was a key moment in Arthur becoming king. Merlin also provided wisdom and counsel to Arthur throughout his reign, helping him make important decisions.
