    Summary

    “Well, I’ll be damned!” The old man crowed and tugged Merlin closer “How have you not seen it, Uther? The resemblance is uncanny!” He beamed, ruffling the servant’s hair “Sorry, son. You look like an old friend of ours. Good ole’ Balinor. A member of court before Uther chased him away.” The man snorted and Arthur’s gaze jerked up.

    “Balinor?” He asked sharply and turned where his father was taking a sip of his wine “The dragonlord?”

    OR

    An old friend of Uther’s drops by and notices Merlin looks familiar. Arthur remembers Merlin’s reaction to Balinor’s death and puts the pieces together.

    Summary

    As a joke, the knights enter Merlin in a tournament, only to find he is much better with a sword than they ever could have imagined.

    "Yes, I've just been going over the sign up sheet for today's tournament when I noticed your name on it."

    "My name?" he repeats, as the color drains from his face.

    He points to the bottom of the page. "That is your name is it not?"

    Summary

    “Lady Morgana,” The lord said, his brows furrowing as he took a step back “Pardon me for the assumption, but I was told the king’s ward never left the East tower?” He asked and gestured vaguely around the gardens. Morgana smiled and Merlin smirked from his hiding place as he watched Arthur consider swooping in to save the man, but clearly thinking better of it.

    “Ah, of course.” Morgana said “You must be confused. There are two wards of the king. I’m afraid you won’t be able to meet Merlin today.”

    Or

    Uther took in Balinor’s child as a baby and claimed him as his ward. Merlin thinks he’s being held hostage, but whatever.
