A/N: First of all, I must say I am very thankful for the followers and review. I also want to say something about my intentions to write this review. There are many talented writers, but some waste their own potential by reducing the characters to simple and one-dimensional heroes and villains (mainly due to the last seasons of the show). It results in very predictable fics: Morgana get killed; Uther and Morgana are blamed for everything; Arthur lifts the ban against magic and everyone celebrates Arthur and Merlin. The inconsistencies and past wrongs/crimes of the characters are excused and justified by stupid phrases: "… Arthur is not his father…", "…Morgana chooses her way…",etc. I think this is unrealistic, very ridiculous and boring. Therefore I decided to write a review as counterbalance. The facts are true but the description is exaggerated – a satire. To be honest I am quite surprised that people accept it. That means that I am not alone with my feeling and some readers tolerate some fun.

anthi35: I did never doubt that Gaius loved Arthur and Merlin. However, that does not mean that he can´t have his own gains. For the witchfinder chapter: You are right he protected Merlin and Morgana, but he would have found guilt anyway. I just wanted to say that Gaius is ready to accept `collateral damages´. I also don´t believe that Gaius was working only for fear of his life. He is a little too enthusiastic to help and save Uther (e.g. The tears of Uther Pendragon) for a forced laborer, who quakes with fear of his life. By the way, you are indicating that Arthur would have killed Gaius if he knew the truth about the war and his birth (after Uther´s death).

Chapter 2: The great dragon – When two people quarrel, a third rejoices

Well, what can be said about the great dragon: He is the all-knowing, super-magic and wise advisor of Merlin. He is always on hand with help and advice for our hero. Or so the legend says. But as usual facts tells a slightly different story.

According to the show dragons are the most powerful creatures ever and we have seen that the entire army of Camelot has not a snowball's chance in hell to beat one – let alone many of them. So how did Uther manage to capture Kilgharrah and kill all the other dragons?

But that is just a very tiny logic error in the show.

The actual question is about the entire prophecy and destiny thing. Kilgharrah promises very nice things all the time:

1) It will be peace everywhere

2) Magic will be free and accepted

3) Albion will be united

4) The old and the new ways will be united

5) etc., etc.

All our dreams will become true, everyone will get nice balloons and there will be sunny days with beautiful rainbows all the time. No wonder Merlin soaks it all in and follows the dragon blindly and uncontradicted. But is it true or has the scaled lizard some hidden agenda?

All promises base on the alleged superior visionary abilities of the dragon. The problem is just, that such an omnipotent creature should be aware of one of the most important roles in the show:

`Future is not written in stone and every attempt to change it by force might cause the opposite.´

So why does he hustle Merlin to mistrust Morgana? An example for the absurdness of such acting is Kilgharrah´s refusal to help Merlin with Morgana´s magic. The result: Morgana ran to the druids… Well we all know the bloody end. A dragon should have known/foreseen that, shouldn´t he. I´m not a seer, but even I knew that this would increase Morgana´s hate for Uther and Arthur (who leads the massacre). Therefore I think it´s fair to say that the advices of the dragon accelerate Morgana´s changeover – if not worse.

Another point that strengthens the doubts on the entire prophecy/destiny thing is the fourth point on the list of wishes: `The old and the new ways will be united´. The dragon should have known that Morgana would become the last high priestess. Question: `How is it possible to unite both worlds, when the religious and social guidance of one side is eradicated?´ That sounds very much like Uther. Interesting alliance!?

But the most impressive evidence of Kilgharrah´s true loyalty is provided by himself. He burned down the entire city of Camelot. Moreover he injures Arthur seriously and tried to kill him (only stopped by Merlin´s new-found dragon lord powers).

WAIT! STOP! DID I MISS SOMETHING?! WHY THE HELL SHOULD HE TRY TO KILL ARTHUR – THE HOPE OF PEACE, THE MESSIAH, THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING?

The answer in the show: `He is just a little bit angry, because of his imprisonment.´ That is the simple answer for uncritical reader. For everyone else, here is a little thought experiment:

Let´s take a dragon, which burns down Camelot´s population to exact his revenge on one single person (Uther). Next step, take a woman, who accepts civil victims in her fight to free magic people – we call her Morgana. And now the Million Dollar question: `Who is evil and who is good?´

The answer of the show: Morgana: evil witch; Kilgharrah: trusted friend and advisor

Does anyone feel that there's something fishy going on here? This logic is called: `to have double standards´. It`s the basic concept of the show and the true reason for the classification in heroes and villains.

At the end there is only one possible conclusion. The entire prophecy/destiny thing was either a gigantic lie or Kilgharrah used the self-fulfilling prophecy to extend his revenge. It´s quite fitting that Uther and everything he stands for is destroyed by Morgana – his own flesh and blood.

But what is about the other characters?

Morgana and the magic people: she lost everything she loved; was killed; almost the entire magic community is eradicated or dispelled; the old religion is destroyed - TOTAL LOSER!

Merlin and Camelot: a huge amount of Camelot´s population and knights is killed during the war; Arthur and half of the round table members are dead - LOSER!

So, the only character, who did actually win is the dragon. His revenge worked pretty well - when two people quarrel, a third rejoices!
