Author's notes: Thank you for all the lovely comments on 'Flames', I hope you'll also like this one. I didn’t want to post this, because I don’t like it personally, but I thought what the hell. The style I used here is totally strange for me, never used it before, I can only hope I could make it work. I can't say I'm totally satisfied with it, but here it goes.

Promises

’I’m happy to be your servant, till the day I die.’ Tied by fate.

„…for the crime of betrayal…” Arthur’s voice booms across the courtyard.

You deceived me for as long as I have known you!

Banishment.

„…leave and never return to Camelot on the penalty of death.”

His lips ghosting Arthur’s chest drawing a soft moan. Bound by love. Forever.

His eyes told everything: ’I don’t ever want to see you again.’

Merlin’s nails dig deep enough to draw blood, he’s sure it’ll leave a scar, cutting deep into the life line of his palm. Destiny written in scars.

Oooh, that gave me the chills. It's very powerful. See what you can with 100 words? Well done! I especially love that last line because it's such a play on "destiny written in the stars".
