Summary:
When he tied his life to Arthur's at Camlann in a desperate attempt to ensure that Arthur would rise again, Merlin never considered that he was making a mistake. He'd certainly never anticipated that, centuries later, Arthur might become everything they'd both once stood against. But as wrong as Arthur is--and he is wrong, isn't he?--fighting him was never something Merlin wanted to do. Unfortunately, sometimes a choice between principles and people is inevitable. Though, in Merlin's case, destiny may never have intended it to be a choice at all.
