----------
The sun beamed in through a little opening in the curtains inside the Kings chambers. Arthur sat up and smiled, for all he knew Merlin was dead, and his mission was over.
The real Arthur couldn't remember anything that happened when the Fomorroh took over his body, and the Fomorroh couldn't remember what happened when it was paralyzed. For all it knows, he got drunk and somehow made it back to his chambers. He got out of bed carefully so he didn't wake Guinevere up.

"I swear if you touch me again I will hurt you," whispered Gwaine.
"Hey, it was my knee, sorry that I can't see over your big head." Percival said back.
"Oh that's it!" Gwaine said loudly, turning around to wrestle with Percival.
Merlin heard the door knob start to open.
"Shh guys, look!" Merlin said with a whisper.
Gwaine gave Percival a glare before he turned back around. They all carefully looked over the corner as they saw Arthur leaving his chambers.
"Just as we suspected." Said Gwaine.
They followed the prince quietly at a good distance all the way out of the castle and into the stables. Once the king left on his horse, the others quickly grabbed their own. When the king vanished into the woods they started to make their way over. They were surprised when they saw a hut so close to Camelot in the distance. They had only traveled about two miles. All the Knights got off their horses, they were far enough away that the king wouldn't see them.
"Percival, call out to the king and get his attention, when you get close enough to him, your going to have to knock him out again."
Percival sighed but nodded his head.
"Come on guys, get down," Merlin said.
"Sire!" Percival yelled.
"Great." Arthur unenthusiastically said after he turned around and spotted Percival.
Percival started walked down to him.
"Percival! What are you doing here?" Arthur Asked.
"I could ask you the same thing sire," Percival said back.
Arthur turned around and pointed towards the hut. "You see I was just here looking for-"
Before Arthur could finish Percival had put Arthur in a choke hold. Once the king stopped fighting back Percival released the unconscious king. He picked Arthur up and put him on his horse. Percival walked the horse back up the hill where his fellow friends were at.
"Percival," Merlin said, "take Arthur back to Camelot and watch him there, we've got it here."
"Alright, you guys be careful," Percival said as he hopped up onto his horse. He then rode away with Arthur asleep at his side.
"He better thank us later," Gwaine said annoyingly.
"I don't even think Morgana is here," Merlin said.
"How would you even know that?" Asked Gwaine.
"I can't feel her magic." Replied Merlin. Merlin's eyes widened after he realized what he just said. Thank goodness his back was facing Gwaine.
"Why would you be able to feel her magic?" Asked Leon.
"Uhh, well, you see, I was just kidding around." Merlin said, hoping they would believe him. "I'll go check it out."
"Wait! Merlin!" Gwaine yelled out. But Merlin just jogged down to the hut and ignored him. He knew for sure now that he was close enough that Morgana was not there. He walked inside and looked around. There were shelves with stuff, all kinds of things ranging from books to weird items. Merlin stopped when he saw the familiar looking box that she had kept her Fomorroh's in before. How she managed to find another formorroh family was beyond him. He picked up the mini treasure chest and opened it. 7 Fomorroh's were there hissing at him. Merlin put the box down and lit it on fire with his magic, he then began reciting a spell, 'Ontende þisne wyrm þæt he licgeþ unastyred 'a butan ende,' the spell caused the mother beast to die, killing her and the rest of the mini Fomorroh's around her. When the flames burned out Merlin closed up the box and put it back where he had found it. He sighed and left Morgana's hut happy, especially that he didn't have to deal with Morgana there.
Merlin met back up with his friends at the top of the hill.
"Did you do it?" Asked Leon.
"I did," said Merlin, a smile grew on his face, "Arthur is finally Arthur again."
