Merlin: Arthur's Return (Halloween Special)

Part Four: My opposite

Arthur's POV

"Will he be okay?" I ask Morgana even though every inch of me still does not trust her. Still I blame her for all that happened back in the time when Camelot was alive and well. Camelot is a distant memory that will never come back. I blame her for all of that.

"I have healed him of his wounds. He will be fine, yet I think he would of healed either way. He is strong and powerful. I would be a fool to try to deny that. He is immortal for a reason," she whispers.

"Why are you still here? Haven't got an evil plan to take your revenge? Or maybe join up with the new evil like you normally do!" Gwaine snaps.

"I know you do not like me Gwaine. I killed you after all. But I am as much as confused as you are. Something is happening and maybe we are all apart of it," she states.

"Us three are, not you. Only courage strength and magic not you!" I shout this time.

"What are you talking about?"

"He is talking about the prophecy Morgana," Gaius says coming into the front room.

Morgana turns to face Gaius mouth open, "Gaius. Another prophecy," she whispers

"Indeed my Lady," says Gaius.

"You do not have to call me that now," she says.

"But yet I feel like I should. Whether in the end you were actually a good one or not," says Gaius clearly slightly confused at her presence here.

"I do not know why I am here."

"We do not either. Why do you get to rise again? You are the one to blame for everything!" I snap.

"It is pointless living in the past, Arthur. We have much more important things to be concerned about then bringing up the past. Leave it in the past. What happened to Merlin?" Gaius now asks.

"A creature attacked us. Well Merlin more then us. He got hurt but Morgana has helped to heal his wounds."

"Well I guess we have to thank you then, Morgana."

"So is anyone going to explain to me what is going on?"

"Long story short. We have to stop this evil. Probably that creature. But what I remember is. One will meet opposite. One will be put to rest. One will finally be at peace," says Gwaine.

"Of course you remember that bit. You believe that is you three but you wonder which one is yours. Fearing it will only make it much worse," says Gaius.

"I agree," I say sighing. "I have faced death. I had managed to deal with a lot of things when I had been alive. I am certain whatever we are to face, I can do it again."

Merlin jolted awake on the sofa gasping for air. He looks around him before he begins to breathe better. "I have seen the future. Finally my time has come."

Merlin's POV

Everyone kept asking what I meant but I never answered them. I do not wish to speak of it. I have lived for so long. They could not begin to understand how I feel. I am now certain I will be the one put to rest. But we have to stop the evil. Stop everyone ending up hurt or dead within United Kingdom. If nothing else we have to at least try.

I am up and feeling better and I know where we have to go. They keep asking how I know but I just know. I have these feelings and visions that come to me and I know to follow them. I have lived with them for a very long time.

We traveled by public transport to Hype Park. As we arrived by the gates to enter the park some screams were heard up ahead. I run forward Arthur, Gwaine and regrettable Morgana behind me.

Arthur and Gwaine have their swords at the ready. I can not help but laugh at such things. If one thing has not changed they were not going to give up their swords. It is the only thing they know how to really fight with. It does look quite strange and they could be easily be arrested but I of course would stop that ever happening with my magic.

More screams, smoke up ahead. We speed up. We arrive at the heart of the horror. Flames have filled part of the park burning down trees, benches and bushes. Two figures stand within it all. They are having a magic duel.

I run forward through the flames with a simple spell to avoid getting burned but I make sure Gwaine and Arthur stand back.

Suddenly my mouth drops open at what I see. It's Alatar and Morgause. "What is going on!" shouts Morgana.

"It is called the ultimate return!" cackles Morgause.

"Explain yourself!" I shout right at her.

"Merlin how nice to see you again. The evil coming is almost upon us and what better way then bringing back some people to help. You may have protected this land but not for much longer," she giggles.

"Morgause what are you doing!" shouts Morgana.

"Come Morgana. We can take our revenge. Revenge that will fill us up with happiness. Maybe it did not work before but you can take the crown. I will make sure you take the crown from that awful women they now call queen!" she barks.

"We will stop you!" shouts Arthur.

"Oh Arthur and what are you really going to do," she laughs.

"I am your complete opposite," she giggles.

"What?" Arthur asks confused.

"You are my opposite Arthur. This time I will be the one to finally get rid of you and get Morgana to finally take her rightful place. Maybe its different now but my plan will work. None of you including you Merlin will stop me!" she shouts as she chucks a spell right at me.

Alatar used a spell to reflect is away from me. "You alright?" he asks.

"Fine now. Thank you. It is good to see you," I smile.

"And you too Merlin."
