Arthur's Return (Merlin BBC)

Chapter IV.

When I opened my eyes I could see someone standing in front of us, but the light was so strong I needed to close my eyes again.

After the light was gone I heard Merlin shouting.

“Arthur!” I opened my eyes and saw a man with blonde hair and an armour.

I didn’t expected that the king would look like this. I always imagined Arthur as a little boy with a sword (clearly Disney’s fault).

I stood there listening to their conversation.

“You’re really alive.” Merlin came closer to Arthur. Arthur looked at himself. Then he turned to Merlin.

“Merlin?” he asked with confusion in his face.

“Yes, it’s me. We haven’t seen each other for a while.” Merlin said happily and pulled Arthur in a hug.

“I was dead. I was really dead." he said looking at himslef but then continued

"Can you please tell me why I’m in a cave, why you’re so old and why is there a mysterious girl behind you?”he said fast.

“Oh right. This is Emma… She’s the only relative you have… let’s say like a sister… And it’s the year 2014… You slept for ages here until she came and awoke you from the death itself… And yes, I waited until this moment for you to rise again…So no wonder why I look like that haha.” Melin listed all the answers down.

Arthur came closer and looked me straight into my eyes “Hello sister…” he said and pulled me into a hug. I was a bit surprised but I huged back.

“So now, Merlin tell me, what is this all about?” he said sitting on a stone that laid there.

“What? Didn’t the ghosts told you about your destiny?” he came closer.

Arthur just raised his shoulders.

“Isn’t it funny that the King himself doesn’t know his destiny…” Merlin shook his head.

“After all this years you haven’t change a bit… You’re still a clotpole!”

"I don't think I could change because I was dead, remember?" Arthur said a little bit pissed and pointed his index finger at him

“And you, you’re still.. Hmm, what is it called? Aha, right an enormous PRAT! ” Both of them started laughing.

I looked at them with a little smirk. They really were best friends.But then a question hit me.

“So, we’ve brought the king back… And now what?” I looked at Merlin.

“Oh, this is just the start!” he snapped his hands together.

“What...there’s more?” I asked  surprised.

“I guess we need to get back to Camelot!” Arthur said looking for a way out.

“Arthur, Camelot is not here anymore.” Merlin said.

“What do you mean? Where is it then?” he asked a bit worried. I shook my head. 

Merlin went to the shoreline and bent down casting a new spell.

“Éadesburg  sylfum brimwulf, gefetian Excalibur! ” Arthur and me stood right behind him when a sword raised from the water.

Someone was holding the sword and was raising with it as well. A girl. We couldn’t believe our eyes. Merlin stood up and smiled at her.

“Freya…” he said quietly.

She stood there and called Merlin to come closer. Arthur suddenly remembered.  

“I know who that is.. It’s the druid girl who can change into a bastet… Merlin don’t go nearer she might kill you!” I could see how much Arthur cared about Merlin.

Merlin came closer and took Excalibur out of her hand. She smiled at him and put a hand on his face.

Then she closed her eyes and kissed his cheek.

Merlin took her hand and told her “ Now you’re finally free!” and she turned into a small blue butterfly that flew away into the light.

We stood there in silence. Merlin turned around and gave Arthur his sword back.

Then he said “Now we can go back to Camelot."

"Wait?What? We are going where-" I said confused.

"Back home" Arthur answered the questions for me.

"Emma, repeat after me… ándaga eftcymeþ æftergield!“ We stood there in a circle and repeated the spell a few times.

Then a big light pulled us back in time…

We suddenly arrived in a wood? I didn't expect this.

„Welcome back!“ Merlin said happily.

Arthur smiled. „Camelot is right there.“he pointed.

As we were looking around someone screamed and a wild horse passed by. We turned around and saw three people standing behind us.
