As Arthur and Merlin enbter the glade, the upcoming sun shines with a soft light. The whole place is brighting. The two men are facing the dragon. Aithusa lowers his head and bows. Now the king and the dragonlord reply the gesture. How pretty she is! Merlin stands there and watches her beauty. She is perfect. The sun turns her white body golden. Arthur takes heart. Carefully he raises his hand and walks towards her. The dragon lowers her head down to him. As Arthur touches her head, he smiles blessed. He hardly believes what he is doing. "You are so beautiful!" Merlin watches both, king and dragon, stunned. His king is blown away. Merlin sighs. He walks over to his friend and puts his hand on his shoulder. "Arthur? Arthur? We should go now." His king nods and looks up to Aithusa. "Will we see you again one day?" "That is in the responsibility of the dragonlord." This is the moment when both men are speechless. Aithusa is speaking! The cave and its magic recoverd not only her body, it recovered her whole skills. And with sweet but strong voice she adds: "But I'm sure, we will." She opens her wings and flies up into the sky. The master and his servant watch her leaving. Together side by side they walk back to their horses.
Arrived there, Merlin's view catches the destroyed cave. Nothing is left. The cave is completely collapsed and covers the crystals under the rocks. Stunned he stands in front of his birthplace of magic. Arthur looks compassionately at him. "Merlin, I'm sorry. I know how important this cave was. I know what it meant to you. The power of this place , is it now lost?" Merlin sighs. "The magic is still alive here at this place. The crystals are deep down under the rocks. I just can't reach them. Maybe this is the way it should be. It saved Aithusa. And Aithusa spreads the magic on earth. And nobody else can use the power of the crystalls for evil." He sighs again and turns around to prepare their return to Camelot. Arthur watches him silently.
