Merlin: "Well, you can say so my cute little Arthur."

The greatest Sorceress of Britain spoke with hint of cheer in her voice.

Arthur: "I'm not little anymore."

He rebuked with disapproving voice

Arthur: "As matter of fact, I'm taller than you now."

Merlin: "Hmmm, that's true."

Merlin giggled.

Merlin: "Why, I remember when we first met, you are such cute little boy that want to marry this pretty lady."

He keep his face stoic and neutral despite he just reminded about his embarrassing past and reply her calmly.

Arthur: "I was a young at that time, hardly understand anything."

Merlin: "And you do now?"

She inquired, her voice still ease but there is a hint of something in there, and he caught it.

Green eyes narrowed in calculating manner.

Arthur: "What do you want Merlin?"

Merlin: "Nothing. I come here just to tell you something. Listen Arthur, not to say anything bad about it but it is better if you stop."

Arthur: "Stop?"

Merlin: "You know what I mean."

Merlin gaze for a moment wandered to the sword on the stone, the sword of selection.

Merlin: "After pulling that sword, you will stop being Human."

She said.

Merlin: "Not only that, you will be hated by all kinds of humans and you will reach a horrendous death."

She declared, her eyes then returned to him, her gaze were firm, strong and yet... There also something that indecipherable beneath them.

Merlin: "If you decide to stand back now, you will live a good life, peaceful and happy, and your death also won't be painful."
