Summary
The monster beneath Arthur’s skin is all he can see as the charcoal cottage burns. The flames lash at the softly frosted ground between them. Llamrei’s hooves tear through the ground as she frights in face of the flames.
As Arthur watches his execution, all Merlin can know is that he would be willing to cast Merlin to the fate as he did. He has. He has burned the man Merlin has presented him with. He watches his King, and he kneels to his judgement. He drowns as his alter burns.- A finger on the pulse of Arthur and Merlin's later relationship with magic -
[VISUAL INSPIRATION ONLY] Knight's Horses by EbenHyacinth (Sunagash)

Summary
A collection of images I am using for visual inspiration of named horse characters in any of my Merlin Fanfics. Some of them are based in legend, some are not. If you want a better idea of what I am trying to describe in my fics, these pictures help guide me, though they are not accurate in their totality. Hopefully, you don't need them to paint an image in your mind, but they are here just in case.
A note: none of the images here were created by me, I grabbed them from the wider web. As such, I cannot assure you that all images are accurate depictions of the breed and color that they state nor of their history, I can only relay what google tells me.
Just a reminder that the images and names may be updated as my muse does but I will try to keep them consistent across fics.

Summary
The trees above him are hissing a warning when he shakes from his stupor.
It hadn’t been long. He didn’t think so, anyways. There were no webs on his jacket and no moss at his boots. The distant calls of horns and shouts barrel closer. He blinks and becomes the pointed tusk of a boar. Breathes and is the pummeling rush of horse hooves. A second and now wrapped inside flesh again with wilting petals in his hand.
All at once, a hunt is around him.
A boar charges, skidding around, screaming as dogs latch on its ankles. There’s shouts and confusion and he cannot think to move. It’s not his instinct to avoid danger.
Then a hand is under his arm, pulling him up and back—he drops the flowers—even as a spear is thrust unevenly forward and gives an ugly gash to the creature’s side. There’s noise and wind and the boar is taken through the side. It dies roughly.
He slowly eases himself out of the man’s hand, turning to see bright eyes and golden hair and a face younger than the one he wears.

Summary
He opens his eyes and looks down at the simple dark cover.
There was little he’d been able to salvage from the time he had with his father, the most significant being the merlin pendant he’d gifted him in a moment of pure love that now hung solemnly around the prince’s neck. The charmed silver has survived the dragon flame, but the rest left to him had been tucked away in a pack meant for a few days travel. Small knives and supplies, a water canteen, and the few possessions the man had wanted to keep from his old life.
Three books. Two letters. One ring.
He sighs away his thoughts, touching the book named Heritage and running his finger under its cover as it creaks open in gentle groan of pleasure, flipping the first smooth page until he reaches the ornate scribbling of dark ink that stains the empty space.
"The taming of dragons is not a safe practice for any man of unsure heart. Dragons are a wild and ancient race, and bonding settles a weight of time and trust onto the soul of a man that should be borne neither by the unprepared nor the unworthy..."
