Disclamer I don't own Merlin
Okay this IS the last chapter no epilogue
I want to thank you all for reading
So here it is
Onwards
When Merlin opened his eyes he stood beside a alter in a courtyard and instantly reconized the Isle Of
The Blessed, the seat of power of the old religion.
"Mother gooddess are you here?"
"Always Emrys."
Merlin turned to the voice and was stuned by the beauty before him. She was tall, as tall as him with long
ankle lenght dark red hair that rippled as she approached. Her eyes were white with gold a center, her
skin a light bronze. Her small nose and blood red lips did nothing but bring out her sharp angular features.
Her very well endowed curves were reveiled by the skin tight dress that was the color silver of the moon.
The dress had no shoulders but long sleves to her wrists. The deep 'V'of the neckline diped to her navel
but revealed nothing. Her feet were bare but that did not matter she was hovering a few inches off the
ground. Now Merlin might love Gwaine but he was a hot blooded male and couldn't help but admire the
goddess before him. He fell to his knees and prostrated to his creator, bowing his head in respect he was
not worthy to gaze upon her.
"Do not kneel my son, I wish to speak to you as an equal not a follower rise Emrys and be at peace."
"Mother goddess I am not worthy"
"Hush, if there is one human in existance who is worthy its you. Now come walk with me I have a lot to
explain to you before you awaken."
Merlin stood up and fell into step beside the goddess as she floated slowly across the courtyard
"You are a wise man my son so most of this you already know. You are not human you are a creature of
magic like a unicorn ot a pixie. I created you from the weave with the half of the soul from the prince that
the priestess in her failure did not give him. What you do not know is Hunith is not your mother she is
just a vessel where I stored your half soul until she became with child. You belong to the dragonlord and
myself. The woman you call mother was simply a holding cell. You are human like your father but you
are also a god, the weave personified like me. You exist in both worlds. And now that you are of age it is
time for you to embrace your divinity. You are now a demi god, a god in a human shell. You no longer
require food or sleep you are truly Emrys, immortal, there are only a few things that can cause your
death. You will not age, you will not bleed, the power of the weave is your to command. You will no
longer require spells if you think it or wish it it will happen. Do you understand everything so far?"
" Yes, Your right some of that I already knew or guessed and even if Hunith is my real mother or not she
birthed me and raised me and will always be my mother. I realize i am immortal but I still want to be me.
I want to live my life as a human with the people I love is that still possable?"
"If that is what you wish then yes it is possable to live your life as Merlin Ambrose the last dragon lord. It
is a complex and intense process that would require you to accept the dragon within and reject another
half."
"That makes 3 halfs of a soul mine, Arthers and yours. So I have to choose between Arthers magic or my
divinity in order to live as a human."
I wish it was that easy my child you are a god no matter what you have to choose between dragonlord or
Arther one must go in order for you to live as a mortal."
"What! No thats not fair , I am the last dragonlord kigagarth and asuthua need me but without the other
half of his soul Arther will never fulfill his destiny. How can I choose between them?"
"There is always 3 paths to choose from, You are wise my son if there is a way to balance the 3 halfs you
will find it have faith in yourself, your king and me and everything will work out."
"Your just as bad as the bloody dragon with riddles you know that?"
The goddess smiled "Yes I know, who do you think taught him? Now it is time for you to wake up if you
ever have a need for me come to this place."
"Wait I need you to Explain something you said earler, what are the few things that can kill me?"
"You already know these things but one is a sword that can kill anything, one is assending, and the third
is if you choose to fake your death and start over anew. Now you really must go now but go with my love
and blessing I trust you will find the balance you seek you are but one side of a coin farwell."
With those parting words she started to fade like a dimming light until he was standing alone looking at
empty air Merlin sighed, sat down and closed his eyes.
"I think he is waking up"
"Merlin love can you hear me?"
"Gwaine back off and give him some air"
"Please it would help if all of you stoped hovering and allowed me to look over my patient."
"Baby? come on sweety open you beautiful eyes for me."
Merlin recognized the voices of his friends and family as well as Gwaines bed underneath him but
everything was fuzzy and distant. He did however feel no pain what so ever and was at peace. For the
first time in his life he actualy felt complete and free. He slowly opened his eyes to see Arther, Gwaine,
Gaius, Hunith and even Gwen surrounding his bed.
"Hey guys."
"Merlin how are you feeling my dear boy?"
"Im good Gaius ive never felt better the flair up is almost gone."
"Almost! what do you mean almost? the quest was ment to fix you."
"No prat. If you recall it was to be a stop gap until you could fix things, but don't worry I have another
plan that will fix everything."
"Thats wonderful love but I have some questions I need answered first before we go for another plan."
"Gwaine he just woke up leave him rest a moment."
"No no its okay, Gwen he deserves to have the answers he seeks, but im going to make it easy and kill
two birds with one stone."
"Baby are you sure you shouldnt be resting?"
"Yes mother im sure could you and Gaius leaves us please the four of us need to talk."
"Ok sweety I love you."
"Love you too mom."
He waited until it was just the four of them left the king, queen knight and warlock. Merlin shut his eyes
and reclined back on his pillows.
"You all might as well sit down for this. Gwen how much did Arther and Gwaine tell you?"
"They told me you were sick because you have magic and you can't use it."
"Anything else?"
"No nothing what is it Merlin?"
It a crazy story Gwen I hope you ready. The first thing you need to know is I am not better not yet.
Second, the magic inside me is Arthers he owns it. It is for him to use as he sees fit I am a weapon or
sheild or armor to be used. Third I am no longer in need or food or sleep the magic will sustain me. Are
you all with me so far?"
"Yes keep going." all three replied
"Alright now Gwaine, Gwen you need to focus on the fact that Arther and I love you very much, please
don't question or doubt that fact. Now Arther and I are figures of a profacey that we will unite the
kingdoms under one rule with peace, freedom and equality for all. We are also soulmates. I am his and he
is mine we are bonded to each other in a love that is unequaled by anything else in the universe.
Technically Arther and I are the same person just in 2 bodies, I am a king and he is a magic user and as
much as we love you both im sorry but we love eachother more. Not romanticaly or sexualy you guys
have our hearts and bodies but not our mind and soul. Do you guys understand.?"
Merlin looked to Gwaine who looked like a cross between angry and heartbroken and Gwen who looked
resgined and sad. Arther must had seen this and decided to step in.
"Unfortunately Merlin speaks the truth. There was always a connection between us even from that first
day I just never had a name for it. Nothing has changed we just now know the name. I still love you
Gwen with all my heart I love you. You have seen mine and Merlins connection over the past four years
and it never has been an issue before there is no need for it to be now. Please tell me you know this my
Gwen, my Queen, please."
Seeing Gwen nod and throw herself across thd bed and into her kings arms Merlin figured it was his turn.
He cralwed across the bed and sat on his kinghts lap, he placed both hands on the sides of his face in the
same way as used in the woods last night.
"Gwaine, love, I need you to hear me and understand. I love you so very much and I am so sorry for all
the pain I have caused you. Please know that I did not choose this, I never wanted to have Arthers magic I
never asked to be born like this. My entire life has been maped out for me without my say im nothing
more then a tool for a spoiled prat of a king to use. But know this my love, my knight, my strength, all my
life I never had a choice but now for the first time I do and I choose you dear heart my one choice that I
was given and I choose you. I love you, want you, need you so please sir Gwaine of Camelot would you
do me the honor of being my husband?"
"Husband? yes oh god yes yes!" Gwaine grabed Merlins waist, stood up and spun him around the room
"Gwaine, Gwaine, Gwaine I need you to put me down so Arther can make me all better then we can
celebrate. Gwaine I need you to repeat this phrase for me over and over while the spell is complete can
you do that?"
"Yes love whats the phrase?"
"Merlin loves me and wants to marry me" keep repeating that please."
"Um okay I guess merlin loves me and wants to marry me, merlin loves me and wants to marry me."
"Alright now that he is doing that come here Arther I need to cast the magic on you."
Merlin placed his hands on Arthers shoulders and storm blue and sky blue met. With a nod to make sure
they were ready Merlin lunged forward and smashed his lips into Arthers in a very crude kiss and held
them there.
Arther found himself by a beautiful lake with Merlin beside him, eyes gold and a smile on his face
"Merlin? What is the meaning of this? Were are we?"
"We are inside my mind I pulled you in using our magic and as to the meaning im going to give you your
soul back."
"What my soul but don't you need it?"
"Okay bad phrasing. I am giving you access to your soul the kiss I gave you reconnected the halfs. Now
anytime you feel incomplete, unsure, scared or unsetteled in any way all you have to do is touch me and
you will feel whole again. Also we now share feelings even kingdoms apart we will know if the other is
sad, happy or hurt."
"What about the magic?"
"Thats the best part you now have access to my magic. All you have to do is think or say 'Emrys I wish
that... 'And then fill in the blanks and it will draw the energy from me without my say and make whatever
you wished happen. You no longer need to fear magic when you have it at you beck and call."
"Thats amazing Merlin but we should be getting back im surprized Gwaine has not run me threw yet."
"You don't have to worry about it to Gwaine and Gwen its been just a moment. Time is frozen where we
are but you right we should get back I want to thank you one more time for accepting all this, close your
eyes prat and we will leave."
When they came out of the trance Arther opened his eyes first and pushed Merlin away quickly and took
2 steps back at the same time.
"Merlin loves me and wants to marry me, Merlin loves me and wants to marry me, Merlin loves me and
not Arther."
"Gwaine I think its safe to stop now im sure Merlin can explain how kissing my husband is a magic spell
right Merlin?" Gwen asked in a low calm voice
"Actually I think I can explain it better. Emrys I wish I had some purple and white flowers for my wife."
Everyone watched as Merlins eyes flashed and a handful of flowers appeared in Gwens hands.
"Holy crap! Did that just happen? You saw that right?"
"Yes Gwaine I saw that Arther just gave me flowers arn't they pretty?"
"Not as pretty as you my queen come lets retire to our chambers ill wish for whatever you desire see you
later guys don't do anything I wouldnt do. ( thank you Merlin you are amazing) (not an problom Arther
enjoy your magic just use some restrant im still the one doing it. Oh and remember we share feelings so
ill know what your doing behind closed doors) ( Merlin!)
Once they were alone Merlin turned to his fiancee who was doing a wonderful impression of a fish.
"Don't think ive forgotten about you I have an early wedding gift for you do you want it?"
Gwaine shook his head and closed his mouth and hid a smile
"Well if this gift involves you in our bed under me moning my name sure I want it."
"Later love but this could be just as fun."
Merlin pulled the vile of magic out of his belt pouch.
"Would you be interested in having magic?"
