Merlin's POV:

I knew I had to save Morgana; I'd promised her that I'd never let anyone hurt her. I healed her, but it cost me my life. Arthur had followed us, which I wasn't aware of, and after I died he killed himself. I wanted to shout at him not to, that he was meant to live, but I couldn't. It broke my heart when Arthur plunged the dagger into his heart.

"Arthur, no!" I shouted, not caring that he couldn't hear me. His eyes drifted shut, and swear that I heard him whisper that he loved me. After his eyes closed fully, Morgana woke up, and started crying when she saw us dead.

"Merlin?" I heard, and turned my head to see Arthur.

"Arthur." I whispered, smiling at him.

"I love you, Merlin. I always have. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier." Arthur said.

"I love you too, Arthur." I replied. Arthur wrapped his arms around me, and I smiled about the fact that the man I loved for so long was holding me. Arthur pressed his lips against mine, and we faded into the mists of Avalon.
