Last chapter. Thank you all who reviewed,..

Enjoy this!


Merlin threw men into one another, taking out most of Morgana's men. The ogre that he had created just continued to smash and throw Camelot's enemies all over the place. As helpful as it was though, when he threw Morgana's men about, they had a habit of landing on Camelot's knights. Arthur had joined the battle a while back and Bruce realised how hard Merlin's job was. Keeping this guy from killing himself was hard! Several times, he had almost been killed. It was getting annoying to have to keep checking on him. Merlin hadn't seen Morgana yet and continued to wonder where she could be.

"Arthur," Merlin called. "Will you be alright out here? I'll see how many of Morgana's men inside I can take," Arthur nodded and Merlin moved towards the steps. Gwaine followed him. Merlin ran up the steps and turned a corner. A man jumped out of nowhere and went to stab Merlin from behind, but Gwaine got the man from behind. Merlin turned sharply as he heard the man drop to the floor.

"You might want to be more careful in future," Gwaine advised, flicking his hair back. Merlin groaned.

"Oh god, it's you, why you," he said and then continued walking; knowing that Gwaine had his back.

Knights and servants rushed around and Merlin scanned them. None looked suspicious and so he continued walking. The deeper they walked into the castle, the less people he found. At a cross road Merlin stopped. He wasn't getting very far at all. He inhaled, exhaled and then closed his eyes. Snapping them open, his eyes flashed red as his mind wandered every corridor in the castle. His mind expanded rapidly as he took every route and every turn until he found Morgana's men.

"Dungeons," he said.

"They've got sorcerers down there that'll be willing to help Morgana," Gwaine explained. Merlin nodded and started to run in right direction.


Arthur was more than thrilled that Bruce had decided to be on their side and help them out. Even though he was breaking the law, his magic had helped them out incredibly. The ogre had taken out most of Morgana's men. Arthur finished off his last man before he looked around the courtyard. The ogre sat down and caused the earth to shake slightly. He yawned satisfied. Arthur smiled satisfied that they had defeated another threat to Camelot.

Arthur wondered how Gwaine and Merlin were doing.


Gwaine kicked the man in the chest and watched him as he tumbled down the dungeons stairs backwards, tripping two more of Morgana's men in the progress. Sighing happily, Gwaine charged down the stairs fighting the rest. Bruce looked worried as he watched Gwaine start to fight. He shrugged it off. If it makes him happy, what's it to him to complain?

Grabbing the railings, Gwaine lifted himself up and over them. He fell on top of two men and brought them down. Another raised his sword to strike, but Merlin threw him backwards into two other people. Gwaine made his way towards the cells. Three more men started to run down the stairs towards them and Merlin positioned himself in plain sight. As the first one came his way he whispered some words under his breath, threw his arm forward and watched as a large snake came out of his sleeve and attacked the man. Merlin then ducked under the second one's attack and blew the one behind him backwards. Turning round he then kicked the one in front of him in the backside and watched him stumble forward, his face colliding with Gwaine's fist.

They jogged towards the cells and looked around. There was no one left.

"Ha!" Merlin said to the sorcerers in the cells. "Looks like you suckers are staying here a little longer," he said gleefully and turned to leave.

A sword was driven into his gut.

Merlin shouted in pain and Gwaine reacted by killing the man. Merlin removed the sword and fell backwards into Gwaine's arms.

"Do a healing spell," Gwaine instructed as Merlin struggled for breath.

"Last time I did that I ended up in someone else's body! No... Take me to the old man," he shouted.

"Gaius!"

"Yes! Take me to Gaius!" His words didn't need to be repeated twice. Gwaine lifted the light man into his arms and ran. "God I fell like a Princess... Not good," Merlin muttered under his breath.

Back in the dungeons, the sorcerers talked among themselves.

"If he'd asked I would have healed him!" one declared.

"Me too!" said another. "That was Emrys for crying out loud!" they all nodded and muttered in agreement.

"They only had to ask and we would have saved him."


"Gaius, where's Merlin and Gwaine? I haven't seen either of them," Arthur asked as he watched the man and Gwen tend to a wound on Elyan's shoulder.

"I haven't Sire –" Gaius started but did not finish. Gwaine came charging into the hall of wounded and placed Merlin down. Gaius rushed to him. "What happened?"

"He got stabbed," Gwaine said as Gaius started to clean the wound. Merlin shook slightly and gritted his teeth.

"Arthur," he said and the king came closer. "You, all of you, are lucky to have Merlin... Don't ever let him go. Forgive him for anything and everything he has ever done or will do wrong for the very reason that he will always forgive and fight for you... He truly is...a good... man," Bruce said, and then took his final breath, his eyes glowing red, before closing them. Gaius froze and then tried to find a pulse. He couldn't find one. He put his ear to Merlin's lip and couldn't hear the Warlock's breathing... He was dead.

The five people around Merlin stood in complete silence.

"Looks like I win after all," Morgana said, suddenly appearing at the door. "Looks like little Merlin's dead and gone to me," she in a patronizing tone and then smirking. "Looks like –" Morgana didn't finish her sentence as a dagger zoomed across the room and skimmed her side, burying itself in the door. Arthur looked round and saw Merlin sitting up slightly.

"Leave Morgana," he said and the witch gave a cry of frustration. In a whirl of smoke and wind, she disappeared. Merlin slumped back and let his body hit the table. He breathed.

"You're alright Merlin!" Gwen breathed in delight and Merlin gave her a smile.

"Bruce did something... I don't know what, but... He died to save me," he said and suddenly looked a little hurt. Arthur placed a hand on Merlin's shoulder.

"I guess he was a hero after all," he said and Merlin nodded. Bruce would never accept it, but he was... in the end, he was a good man, he was a hero.

"Arthur," Merlin said.

"Yes?"

"Can we keep the ogre please?"

"No."

"But –"

"We're going to release it into the woods Merlin. We are NOT keeping the ogre," the king of Camelot said firmly.

"Oooohhh! But Arthur!" Merlin whined and everyone smiled at how the two were. Bruce may have been gone, but he certainly left something behind that caused a stir.

That up stir just so happened to come in the form of a giant, clumsy, loveable, yet incredible smelly and oh so ugly ogre; who sat happily in the courtyard picking its nose mindlessly.
