Revealed
Disclamer; I do not own Merlin. Wish I did though, hmph.
-This is how I imagine the magic reveal, I want it to be spectacular.

Morgana's army were coming, he could see them in the horizon. Arthur looked back, for a second, only a second from the gaining army. He saw the figure standing on the highest point of the tower, eyes fixed forwards. He saw the glimmer of the moon on the raven hair and the piercing blue that shone from the man's eyes. 'MERLIN' Arthur screamed.
Merlin looked down upon Arthur, from the look on Arthur's face Merlin guessed he thought he was going to jump, how wrong he was. Morgana's army was fast approaching but Arthur's gaze was still fixed on Merlin. Many of the knights had turned to look too. 'Ready to fall dear brother' Morgana hissed as she appeared near where Arthur stood. Arthur tried to speak but was cut off by Merlin. 'Don't be so sure of that.' Merlin growled, his anger obvious, power building up inside himself.
Morgana looked up, eyebrow raised. She saw Merlin and laughed, laughed like there was no tomorrow, well maybe there wasn't, 'Who can stop me?' she cackled. 'I can' Merlin whispered, but was heard by everyone. Merlin opened his arms wide, power surging through him. He closed his eyes briefly then, they burned, brighter and more golden than the sun. His power surged through everyone, they could all feel it but it was concentrated towards Morgana's men. They fell like toy soldiers, Arthur, Morgana and the knights could do nothing but stare, shocked, scared and horrified by what they had just seen. Arthur tried to talk, but his voice caught in his throat. A chilling silence swept over Camelot broken by the one who started it. 'mutare aetas mea, mutare me vultu, fac me antiquior est, sapientior et ignota ab aliis' he muttered and transformed into the cocky old man, known as Dragoon and Emrys. 'I am your doom Morgana' he whispered, so lightly it sounded like wind, yet again, everyone heard. A terrible, crazed scream strangled its way from the centre of the square, with a blinding light Morgana disappeared. 'Soon I will find you Morgana' Merlin projected.
His eyes flashed gold and he returned to his young self. 'Yo-ou betrayed me!' Arthur cried. Merlin looked down, eyes still gold, but faltered and turned to piercing blue when he saw the hurt in Arthur's eyes. 'I, will never betray you, I will protect you until the day I die. It is, my destiny' he said with the slightest pleading in his voice, 'Magic-is-evil' Arthur chocked. 'No' muttered Merlin , his eyes glowing gold. He held his hand above his head and brought them down in an ark, removing the stormy clouds from the sky as he did so, he brought his hands quickly back up, thrusting his head up as he did transforming the clouds into a thousand eagles, Golden Eagles. 'Magic can be beautiful'.
