"arthur, how are you feeling?"

"managing... somehow... but right now, i just want to go back to camelot."

mira froze at his words, her palms starting to sweat. she turned her saddened gaze away, remaining silent.

"if the 'seven deadly sins' defeated the demon king, camelot is freed from the demon clan, right?"

merlin looked down at him, a frown on her face. "arthur, about that, camelot is..."

she was interrupted as the building shook violently, merlin stumbling slightly.

"arthur~. you're in here, right~?"

arthur sat up, gripping the blanket covering him. "this presence! but i'm sure i defeated him..."

"that's the power of choas." merlin muttered quietly. "don't worry, i will protect you."

"i can tell through your smell..."

merlin started muttering a spell as cath continued.

"a very tasty smell..! hey arthur, play with me again~. this time, i won't lose for sure~."

merlin then disappeared. mira quickly turned back to arthur only to find him moving the blanket away.

"i have to go help her." he said, throwing his legs over the side of the bed.

"merlin can handle herself. you're still injured!"

the amber-haired boy turned to her, a smile on his face. "i'll be fine. you should worry about yourself now."

mira realized he was right. her magic was nearly gone, small traces of it remaining. soon, she would go back to the regular human she used to be.

she frowned, gripping onto his wrist as he went to grab his sword. loud explosions went off outside, she ground shaking slightly. arthur looked down at her in question.

"mira..?"

she turned her face back to him, a determined look in her eyes.

"go show that monster what you can do!"

arthur smiled, cupping her cheek softly before pressing a kiss to her lips. she quickly returned it, her grip tightening.

another loud explosion from outside caused them to pull apart. mira released her grip and arthur grabbed the holy sword, hurrying over to the window. he stopped, his foot placed on the edge. then he looked back, his smile replaced with a determined look.

"be safe."

"you too."

then he jumped.

mira hurried over, watching him as he fell down to where merlin and cath palug were fighting, smoke and dust flying everywhere. she gripped the edge, wanting desperately to help. however, she could only watch.

"it's not you who i want to play with!"

"then, i shall be your opponent..." arthur called from above. "it was because of my ignorance that brought you here, so i must be the one to put an end to this!"

he shot down, lashing his sword. cath's body then split, cut apart by the holy sword.

"ho, how, did you...?" the pieces began coming back together, sealing at the seams. "but you can't kill me by just cutting me apart."

arthur turned to cath over his shoulder, "i will hunt you, no matter what it takes!" he sat up straight, pointing his sword straight up. light formed around him as he spoke, "i, as a king, have the responsibility to protect my land and people! and so, i must eliminate everyone and everything that comes as a threat!"
