Merlin: Arthur's Return (Halloween Special)

Part Two: It's Begun

Arthur's POV

I found myself adjusting to the twenty first century quite quickly. The dress sense, the food and most importantly the transport. Cars and trains. So new and fascinating. We had never thought of such things would ever come to exist back in the days of Camelot.

"Arthur," Merlin calls my name.

I am sitting on the sofa watching the news. "All that is happening? How are we to stop it all," I ask him as he comes back into the front room.

He looks at me, "Arthur we can not help everyone. It is impossible. Many people do not care for the law. Even you should know that.  We can only do our best. What is on the news is not my concern," he tells me.

"Then what is it Merlin?" I ask as I switch the TV off.

"Well I have been having these strange feelings at late. One of them  I knew had been because it was your time to return but its more then that. Its got more powerful and an evil surrounds us."

"Then what are we going to do?"

"We have to go into Central London. Once there I am certain the events that have been wrote will come to light," Merlin tells me.

"Merlin how can you know that? What words?"

"These words," Merlin says handing me a small book, "Inside this book is what is likely to happen. We must do all we can to prevent it."

"Who wrote this?" I ask confused.

"I did," said a voice from the door. I look over and my mouth drops open. It's Gaius.

Merlin's POV

"What? How are you alive?" Arthur asks.

"I am just as you are. No explanation can be given. I had been given the words and I wrote them down for you and Merlin. It all lies on your shoulders to save everyone. Read it with care Arthur and both be careful. This is no easy task," says Gaius.

"When had it ever been an easy task?" Arthur smiles.

"True."

"Do you wish to read it or should I?" I ask.

"Why don't I read it," says Gwaine now next to Gaius. 

"Gwaine? Is this really happening?" Arthur asks.

"Of course it is," says Gwaine as he comes over to Arthur and I and takes the book, "Let me read it."

The time draws near for the once and future king. To rise, to protect to live once more.              

Powerful magic is near, dangerous monsters ready to kill not heal.

One Warlock with great power will need help, to secure the Kingdoms place in this world.

Blood will fall upon this Kingdom

Rage will destroy the ground

Evil is near

But

Stand up with Magic, Strength and Courage

One will meet opposite

One will be put to rest

One will finally be at Peace.

"What the bloody hell does that mean!" Arthur shouts annoyed.

"We can only imagine but it does not sound good," says Gwaine looking as shocked at what he had read as what Arthur had just listened too.

They both turn to me. "I read it at least ten times. Some of it I can imagine exactly is to happen. I know it does not sound good but we have no choice. We all have a part in this. We have no choice," I say to them.

They both nod, "We know."

"We will do all we can to protect this Kingdom. Whether that means an unhappy ending again...so be it."

"I need to speak to you," begins Gwaine to me.

"I know Gwaine but not now," I say as I leave the front room.  I need to be left alone for a while to just think.

That is when I spot it. The claw marks down the wall, the blood staining the wall and the white faced part human, part creature with some of its flesh torn of its face with a black cloak leave through the front door.

It's begun.
