A/N: Part seven out of eight
Arthur/Gwen and implied dark themes.
Enjoy!
It had been seven years since Merlin had vowed to claim the throne, and Arthur had been King for three.
He'd married Guinevere shortly after his father's death, as well as lifting the ban on magic.
Six months ago, they'd been blessed with a son, who they'd named Christian.
Arthur was in the Throne Room one night when Gwen entered, carrying their sleeping son.
He smiled. "You should be in bed."
"So should you," she smiled back.
Rubbing the old scar on his cheek absentmindedly, Arthur saw the colour in Gwen's face disappear.
He heard someone whisper, "I have returned."
