CHAPTER 16
"You need to let go. Arthur."
No.
Never.
"I killed him."
No one answered him.
He felt a light touch on his shoulder.
Guinevere.
"Arthur ..." How sad her voice was.
" I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Arthur whispered.
"You need to lay him to the ground."
He knew.
He had broke her heart.
"No."
"Arthur ..."
Arthur felt Merlin's heavy body against himself.
No.
"It's already morning. We need.. we need to take him down to the…"
"No!"
"He is dead Arthur. And it's your fault."
Gwaine.
Of course.
"But… I can't blame you. No one can. Perhaps this was due to happen. Merlin ...
"No!" Arthur was surprised how angry he was.
Angry at himself.
Angry people who were trying to ... Trying what?
Arthur looked Merlin.
How mad he was at him.
Merlin, smile resting on the face.
He seemed to just sleeping.
"No. Never. Not like this. Not now. Never like this."
Arthur was so sure.
In his life he had been assured only rarely about anything.
But this he knew.
Merlin was supposed to live.
Whatever Merlin said, this was wrong.
"You are right."
Arthur raised his gaze.
"Gaius?"
Gaius looked sad.
But in his eyes twinkled light hope.
Opportunity.
"What do you mean?"
"The fact that we have one, and only on chance."
"What? How?" Arthur stared at the old healer, not being able to fully understand what was going on.
Gaius hesitated.
He looked at Merlin.
And made his decision.
"There is only one who can help us. Kilgharrah."
"Kilgharrah?"
Gaius closed his eyes.
"The Great Dragon."
