Here we are. On the last chapter.

To catherine10, I am sorry for my really bad translation. I will try harder next time.

See you at the end.

Never One To Complain

What once lost can now be found
You were the lost but now you found
What once lost can now be found
Never One To Complain by Night Terrors of 1927

Merlin walked up to her. Aithusa was clinging on to his back like she was some backpack. The dragon flapped her wings as they got closer. He stopped in front of her and sighed before he started to talk.

"I had … I had always hoped that if I escaped the Sarrum, I would go back to Camelot and regain Arthur's trust and complete my destiny. I hoped that I could still help Albion come about. I so still believe in him and it hurts to think that way. Camelot became my home like it did yours and I think you understand what I mean. But I cannot go back there. I know that I will never regain Arthur's trust and that's only if I get through the gates in the first place.

"So I am here to tell you that I am leaving. I am leaving Camelot and my destiny behind. I should have seen that it was never going to come about to begin with. I cannot go back to the castle. I knew that it was never going to be easy and that my destiny was a big one, but I never expected it to be so difficult." He paused. "There were more than one reasons why it has been difficult. I have lost friends and family along the way. I have made enemies out of friends. I betrayed … someone … who turned out to be the only one to understand everything I have been through. The loneliness of magic.

"So let's not be lonely any more. We can go together, somewhere far away. So far away that Camelot will become a distant memory. We can find somewhere that … where magic is accepted and we can be ourselves. Somewhere out of the five kingdoms. We can head north and not stop until we reach the end of the land. Do you think you can leave your plans for revenge and the throne and come with me?"

Morgana smiled up at him. This was the side of him that she had missed. This is the side of him that she had always thought that she would see. She never really expected another side of him.

"It's a nice dream." She said.

"It doesn't have to be a dream."

"Do you know of a place then?"

"No but I am sure that if we cannot find a place then we will make one of our own. We won't turn anyone away. We will accept anyone, magical and non, who just wants a place to be themselves. I don't want to hide any longer. The Sarrum showed me how horrible it was to have my magic locked inside me. It is naive of me to still want to complete my destiny. I just have to do it another way than through Arthur."

"Then tell me about this place."

"Haven't I already?"

"Maybe I don't understand where I come into this all. We could complete your destiny in Camelot. We could easily take over Camelot. We could show Arthur how powerful magic is."

"But that isn't how I want to do it. Look, I know it is a big ask but … I don't think I could find the right place or make the right place without you."

Merlin looked down at his feet and cleared his throat. Morgana allowed herself to smile at his awkwardness.

"I want to do this how we should have done everything else in the first place." He looked up and held out his hand. "Together."

She did look at his hand for a bit before she took it. The moment he had told her that he was leaving, she had made up her mind that she was leaving with him. Their friendship may still be a little fresh but she was sure that they would fall back into what they were like before he poisoned her and Morgause took her away.

"So tell me more. What are you looking for exactly?" She said as she held onto his arm and they started their journey away from Camelot.

I have this really big feeling that most of you expected more from this story than I have given you. So I have been thinking over the last few days and I think I could come up with a sequel, but that is only if people want it.

So there is a poll open on my profile and I would love it if you could answer it and if you guys want one, then it will probably be out in the next few days.

Update: Someone pointed out a spelling mistake, to which I apologise for. Not to sound like a whinny little so and so but I was exhausted yesterday when I first published this. I was struggling to stay awake after getting up at 4:40am for the third day in the row and not being able to go to bed until 10pm.
