Notes: Set when Arthur is King, you can pressume he knows about Merlin's magic though there is no direct mention.
We both stood atop that hillside, you next to me rather than a step behind. Dry blood was smeared across my face, the tang of a hundred lives destroyed bittersweet on my tongue.
I’d lost knights who gave their life for Camelot, but you, a man who would die for me a thousand times over, are still here.
I turn to you, you turn to me, and we smile. For all that we’ve lost and all that we shall never get back, we remain together, Merlin.
That day I held you close as the wind spoke of a destiny fulfilled.
