They could have adventures where they explore ancient magical places. Maybe they find a long - lost magical artifact that has the power to change the fate of Camelot. Merlin, with his knowledge, and Aithusa, with its dragon abilities, would be a formidable team in such quests.
Well, they might embark on an adventure to discover the origin of Aithusa's species. Merlin, being curious and wanting to understand more about his dragon offspring, would lead the way. They could encounter other dragons, some friendly and some hostile. Aithusa would learn about its heritage and Merlin would gain more knowledge about dragons in general. This adventure would not only strengthen their bond but also bring new knowledge and powers to both of them.
Their relationship could develop in a rather complex way. Merlin, having his own destiny and responsibilities, still makes time for Aithusa. He might take Aithusa to hidden places where it can learn and grow safely. Aithusa, in turn, looks up to Merlin. It may show its loyalty by protecting Merlin when he is in danger. They form a bond that is not only based on blood but also on mutual understanding and a shared sense of magic.
One common theme is friendship. Since Merlin has a special connection with Aithusa, fanfics often explore how their friendship grows and evolves. For example, they might start off as cautious allies and become true friends over time.
In some fanfictions, Aithusa could play a role in Merlin's discovery of more of his powers. Since dragons are so closely tied to magic in the Merlin universe, Aithusa might show Merlin a new aspect of magic that he was previously unaware of. This could be through some sort of magical vision or by guiding Merlin to a place full of ancient magic.
