All Camelot had been devastated by a flu epidemic.
Morgana cursed the land with an ancient magic.
Even though she was sure about her imminent victory, she didn't know that Camelot itself owned a powerful warlock who could cure that dark enchantment.

Marlin was socked for that movement.
"Arthur, I... I'm here. Don't worry you'll be alright. I promise."
Merlin made Arthur drink the potion and he swallowed powerless.
"Merlin... I... feel sick... my mind is burning... all my body is burning..." He was suffering and Merlin felt sorry for him.
"You can't think straight... Arthur please listen to me.. You'll get better. This high fever is only temporary. You' ll be fine.. I know it hurts now but-" before he could finish the sentence, Arthur grabbed his face with all his remaining power.
"Merlin there's something I want to say..."
