Merlin flicks a look at the young vampire sitting next to him, draining the bag of 0-neg. Of the sons and daughters the Master left behind, this one is the most fascinating. He reminds Merlin of a time when the Master was just a stable hand at his beloved King's court. He shakes himself, driving the images of Arthur away. He doesn't have the time to reminisce.

"Tell me about Buffy Summers," Merlin says, trying to sound disinterested.

Spike's eyes narrow, he sees through Merlin's façade. "Now why would I be doing that?"

Merlin conjures a glowing ball of sunlight that makes Spike's skin sizzle and smoke. He snaps it out of existence after a few seconds, just long enough for Spike to realize who is in charge here. Merlin is too old to be afraid of vampires.

"I can see traces of magic in you," Merlin says, thinking of the amulet he'd once given Arthur as a sign of fealty, of love. Its power was that of Arthur's magnificent heart, the purity of a true knight. A champion. Spike had worn it not long ago, Merlin can tell from the hint of familiarity around him. Still, Spike's soul isn't Arthur and that's why he has to know.

"Buffy Summers," he says. "Where is she?"

Spike smirks at him, still a little out of breath, and there is something in his eyes that makes Merlin think of Galahad, maybe. Or Lancelot. "Hell if I know, I think she's off getting baked or something."

Merlin frowns, doesn't get the reference. Even if Summers isn't what he's looking for, he doubts she's into drugs - far too busy saving the world a lot. She's that kind of person. It's been too long since he could offer someone like that his considerable power. He needs someone to believe in again.

And a small, ridiculously hopeful part of him thinks, maybe, maybe it's her. Maybe Arthur is a short American girl with too much power and too much responsibility.

He grins at Spike. "Let me make this worth your while," Merlin says, "anything you want."

Spike looks him up and down, slowly, a smirk that looks familiar pasted on his lips, and Merlin thinks "huh" and "Morgana?" before Spike lunges at him, pressing their mouths together.

~~~

When he does find her, she's busy saving the world again. She's older, more worn than her age would suggest, but she's undeniably Arthur. Like the old days, half of her people seem to be in love with her, and the others are pretending not to be. Her knights are slayers, some of the girls barely out of puberty, but they are more formidable than any army Merlin has ever seen.

She takes one look at him and cocks her brow mockingly. "So who are you supposed to be?"

They're surrounded by enemies, vampires mostly, and Merlin creates a small sun out of thin air to keep them at bay. It burns bright above them, chasing away the shadows of centuries. "I'm your humble servant," he says, grinning like the world has finally been righted.
