It had been two years since Arthur's heart had stuttered out cold and been reborn in hate.
He understood now, in a way he never had before, what his Father had been trying to teach him all these years. Magic was an evil.
It had taken everything from him.
His mother. His people. Morgana.
Merlin.
He would cut the head from the serpent.
Emrys would die by his hand.

"Can I help you with something?" "Yes. I'm looking for my Father." Athena says. I ask, "Do you know his name?" "Yeah." she nods. I smile. She was a adorable little girl with blue eyes.
