@mythandmajesty:

They'd been out hunting when they were attacked. Which, if Arthur thought about it, did seem to attract trouble a disproportionate amount of time. Though right now he was too busy to think about that. He was taking on the attackers two at a time when he saw Merlin fall out of the corner of his eye. "Merlin!" His manservant's name ripped free before he could stop it. But he had no time to check on him. He redoubled his efforts, soon taking out the rest of the attackers before dropping down to his knees next to Merlin, trying to check for injuries.

Merlin heard Arthur, but it was fuzzy and hard to focus on. He whined as he felt Arthur's hands on him, barely managing to make it into consciousness. "Arthur?" He felt weak, like he was barely able to tether to whatever was happening. But, he was trying. "Leave me... Run." Merlin's vision was blurry, but it went completely black as Merlin fully passed out. His body slumped, no longer tensing as he tried to focus on staying awake. His head hurt and it didn't feel like he could stay awake any longer, even with him trying to force it.

( magic ) : injured as result of a spell. either enemy’s or their own malfunctioning (Arthur and Merlin)

Merlin had been trying to protect Arthur, but it backfired. He felt an ache in the back of his head, knees buckling under him as his eyes rolled back in his head. He didn't know what had gone wrong, but the last thought he remembered was worrying about Arthur.
