[Merlyn walks through the countryside to Camelot.] 

KILGHARRAH: No young woman, no matter how great, can know her destiny. She cannot glimpse her part in the great story that is about to unfold. Like everyone, she must live and learn. And so it will be for the young witch arriving at the gates of Camelot. A girl that will, in time, mother the legend. Her name: Merlyn

"Young witch? Even back in Camelot you were a witch?!" Arthur said with wide eyes, turning to his wife, that he just learned had been lying to him. 

"Damn. I was hoping you wouldn't catch that bit." Merlyn said with a slight grimace. 

"I'm not an idiot, Merlyn!" Arthur said, standing up. 

"Well, considering for ten years you never fathomed it out, and also any time I told you, you told me to 'stop being an idiot Merlyn' and then changed it to something else... You kind of are..." She said before trailing off. "I'm not helping." She said awkwardly. "Arthur, I'm sorry. I  really am. I wanted to tell you, to show you, so badly.. But every time I tried you either didn't believe me or something happened before I could actually bring it up and show you or anything so eventually I just stopped trying." She told him sadly. 

"I thought I knew you." Arthur said, sitting down in his spot, and she sighed as she went over and sat next to him on the ground.

"I'm still the same person. Well more or less, it has been 1000 years for me." She told him, with a small smile in amusement, which quickly left, knowing he wasn't as amused as she was in this moment.

"I trusted you." He told her, and just like the first time she heard those words, she froze slightly before burying her feelings, knowing that everyone was now watching the two of them.

"I'm sorry." She told him.

"I'm sorry too." He told her honestly and she nodded before she noticed his shirt wasn't done the right way and laughed slightly. 

"You never could get dressed without help." She said in amusement before reaching over and helping him fix it. 

"What are you doing?" He asked her, frowning.

"Fixing your clothes, because you're a child who doesn't know how to get dressed without help." She said simply in amusement as she continued to fix it. He only sighed and let her do it.

Everyone watched the two of them carefully. No one except those from Camelot knew exactly what was going on right now. But they were still watching the girl that they all knew and mostly loved with the guy that almost none of them knew, and almost none of them understood their relationship or connection, but those that did were holding their breaths in wait for what was going to happen. Because if any relationship was going to survive this whole thing it had to be theirs or everything was going to end horribly.

"Why are you doing this? Why are you still behaving like a servant? As you said it's been over 1500 years for you and I know the truth now." Arthur asked her, she took a breath as she finished fixing the shirt.

"It's my destiny. As it has been since the day we met." She said honestly. 

"I tried to take your head off with a mace." He told her with furrowed brows and everyone that hadn't known that looked at them baffled.

"And I stopped you, using magic." She admitted with a small smile.

"You cheated!" He said in exasperation.

"You were going to kill me." She defended in amusement, as everyone looked at them with wide eyes. 

"I should've."
