Merlin has a secret he won't let anyone find out, least of all King Arthur. His past was an abyss of darkness and pain, resulting in his powerful magical ability. He doesn't want to tell anyone the truth. But something is waiting for him, something from his past that bursts out of his memory and dusts off all the cobwebs, trying to expose his deepest secrets. Will he cave under the pressure and tell the truth? Can he even figure out the truth for himself? Or will he shoulder it alone, risking the fate of disappearing into his past forever? Merlin holds a deathly tight grip on his secrets... Will he strangle himself in the process?

A mystery kingdom hosts their own game in a magical arena every five years. Twelve sorcerers must compete in a fight to the death match where only one Victor can be named. What happens when Merlin is chosen to compete?

The words rolled out of his mouth like a torrent of water over a waterfall, and then there was no coming back. And the looks of contempt and hatred burn into his flesh more than the fire of a pyre ever could. Tears stream down his face and create puddles of the salty water on the dank forest floor. He doesn't know how to get out of this and isn't sure that thats even what he deserves.

'This is a sequel to my other story, "Merlin: The Secret"' you might want to read that first so you won't get confused when reading this one :D Things are well in Camelot - for a while... Merlin is worried, but Arthur just cuts him off as usual. The king is about to hold a feast to celebrate his fifth year on the throne.

Suddenly, everything is turned upside down and nothing is as it seems; what is Morgana after, when Camelot no longer holds enough power for her? What must Merlin and Arthur sacrifice to finally defeat her?

And then the final question; will Albion ever see the dawn? This time Merlin, Arthur & co. is in for an adventure that will determine their fate forever. Read on to find out what happens...

For so many years Merlin had stood standing guard over an empty lake - a resolute soldier with one last duty left to perform. Wars waged around him, and still he waited. When people asked him, when even Alaric dared question, the answer they got was always the same. "How can I do anything but wait?" "Who are you waiting for, though?" He would smile faintly. "A prat." I refuse to be judged on this. I wrote it when I was about 13, okay? Disclaimer- I own nothing of merlin, all characters belong to bbc I also claim no credit for the cover picture
