CHAPTER 36
I do not own Merlin or Doctor Who and I am making no profit off of this.
Thank you for all of your reviews, favorites, and follows!
ONE THREAT ENDS AS ANOTHER BEGINS
"What do you mean 'what took you so long'? Yeah, that's right. I heard what you said to Alice. You knew about this! Didn't you?" Nimueh asked Sophia in a furious voice.
Nimueh glared at her friend in anger now as she entered the battle alongside her and Alice by creating a powerful wind that sent both Morgana and Koschei flying halfway across the room. Sophia instantly sighed in relief after gaining a momentary respite from the constant mystical bombardment that she had been enduring ever since Nimueh had been knocked unconscious.
Nimueh now grimaced as she saw the look of pure anger on Morgana's face while she was pushed away from them by the wind. It was like looking into a mirror at her own past self.
Her worst nightmare had now come true at last because this Morgana was no longer the sweet, kind person that she had been only yesterday anymore. Now she was just as dark, heartless, and cruel as Nimueh herself had once been.
"How could you let this happen to her? If you knew, why didn't you try to stop it?" Nimueh demanded from Sophia.
"We didn't know everything. Alice and I only knew part of it because we only saw just a little bit more of your vision than you did. We knew that someone was going to warp Morgana's mind somehow and turn her against us, but we didn't know who or when. That's why I made that deal with Morgana for her first child. It wasn't a part of the spell that I used to fix you at all. I made that part up because I didn't want her future daughter winding up as twisted as Morgana is now. The vision showed us that her daughter would be used as a pawn against Camelot as well if she wasn't protected somehow," Sophia said.
"It will still wind up being an exercise in futility in the end though because you're all going to die now. Then all of your plotting will be proven to be completely useless won't it?" Koschei said as he began attacking them with powerful blasts of mystic energy that instantly set everything that they hit on fire.
Soon the entire room looked like a scene straight out of Dante's Inferno as everything in it slowly burst into flames the moment one of Koschei's blasts hit it. The three sorceresses now realized that they only had moments left before they were caught in the inferno as the flames were coming closer and closer to them by the moment.
"Uh, can anyone else teleport because I can't? Something's blocking me," Sophia said as she tried to take the fight to safer ground.
"It's Koschei. He's cast a spell on the room that prevents us from leaving it magically. He's going to burn us alive in here," Nimueh realized in horror.
"Oh, this is not good. That's mystic flame. It's going to take some powerful mojo to put that out if it winds up hitting one of us, and I'm not quite up to snuff anymore. Not like I used to be," Alice said as she did her best to deflect the mystic flame away from them with a force field.
"Mojo?" Nimueh asked with a frown.
"It's slang from the future. You'll find out all about that . . . eventually," Alice said with a wink.
Sophia now looked at her in surprise as she wondered if that meant what she hoped it did. Would Nimueh become immortal like she was or was she already immortal somehow? Was it possible that she wouldn't wind up alone someday after all?
"I'm afraid that she won't because she's not going to have a future. None of you are," Koschei suddenly said before Sophia had a chance to question Alice about that.
He then began to attack them even harder than ever now as he pummeled them with a massive shockwave of energy from his hands that sent them all flying so hard into the stone walls of the room that it instantly knocked the breath out of all three of them. The only thing that saved them from catching on fire once they hit the floor was the fact that somehow Nimueh's force field was still up around all three of them protecting them from the flames that were now covering every inch of it.
"I must say that this plan of yours is working out really well so far, Soph," Nimueh said in a weak voice as she struggled to regain her breathe even as her force field continued to be simultaneously hammered by both Koschei's attacks and the flames from the floor.
"How did I know that he would be this powerful? I thought you were supposed to be the Lady of the Lake now anyway. What good's having all of those fancy new powers if you can't even beat one little immortal sorcerer with them?" Sophia joked as she began to start glowing with power while she prepared to go on the attack.
"She'll be able to crush someone like him under her boot eventually just not today. It's still too early for her yet," Alice said as she too started to power up now.
"I'm not sure that I want that much power. I don't trust myself with it," Nimueh admitted with a frown.
Nimueh now realized that both Sophia and Alice were about to try a new attack together and added even more power to her force field in preparation for that. She was sure that whatever was coming next that they were about to need it.
"That's your whole problem in a nutshell now isn't it, Mother? You're far too timid these days. If I had that kind of power, I'd hardly be complaining about it. I'd revel in it," Morgana said as she finally spoke for the first time in a while.
"No, you wouldn't. The Morgana that I know would never want to pursue power for its own sake. He's got you under a spell, Morgana. You have to fight him because this isn't you. It's never been you. I've always been so proud of that fact that you were never anything like me. Don't let him change that," Nimueh pleaded.
Morgana laughed as she said, "You don't really know me at all do you? Then again how could you? You were never there! You just abandoned me and then stood by and watched while Uther raised me. You should have come for me, Mother. You should have taken me away from that man so that he couldn't spend years making me afraid of who and what I was. I should never have been made to feel ashamed of who I am!"
"Morgana, that's all over with now. All of that is in the past, and it's never coming back. Arthur's changed all of that forever by removing the ban on magic," Nimueh said.
"Yes, but Arthur is only a mortal man isn't he? I and all other beings of magic like you however are immortal. You didn't know that did you? I only just learned it myself from Koschei. Sorcerers as powerful as us can never die by ordinary means. We just go on living forever in a world where petty little mortals who live in fear of everything that's different and that they can't understand make the rules and far outnumber us. How long will it be after Arthur's gone before another Uther comes along to change that rule back and the Purge begins all over again? How long will it be before our kind will become the hunted once more? Camelot won't last forever. If I were in charge though, then I could make sure that our kind would be safe forever by ruling this world eternally. I would make sure that no one would ever dare to touch one of us again," Morgana said with a smile of pure, unadulterated pleasure on her face.
"Stop this! This isn't who you are!" Nimueh screamed in an upset voice.
"Maybe it should be," Morgana said as she continued to smile even while Koschei attacked the others without mercy.
"I won't let this happen to her! Do you hear me?" Nimueh said to Koschei in a furious voice.
"You have little choice in the matter. She's mine now that I've finally released her inner darkness at last. She belongs to me and my mistress until the end of time and soon so will Albion," Koschei said.
"I wouldn't count on it, Mr. Deathless. Now, Alice!" Sophia shouted.
Sophia and Alice now both started to chant the same spell in unison while Nimueh watched them in confusion. At first she had absolutely no idea what they were up to, and then as she listened to the words of the spell she finally knew.
They were using a spell that would use the bond between Koschei and his hidden heart to summon it from wherever he had hidden it so that they could destroy it. No matter where it was this spell would be able to get it for them.
If it worked that was because Nimueh could already tell that Koschei realized what they were up when he suddenly stopped attacking them. When he started chanting a counter-spell of his own, then she knew for sure that he was trying to cancel their spell.
She couldn't allow him to do that. Finding that heart was their best chance at destroying this monster, and she wasn't about to let that spell fail. It had to succeed so that her daughter would be freed from him once again.
So Nimueh did the one thing that she knew would help. She distracted him by doing something completely unexpected. It was something that he would never ever expect that she would do.
"Morgana, please forgive me," Nimueh said in a sad voice.
"For what, Koschei's having changing me? You still don't understand. You didn't fail me by preventing him from reaching me, Mother. He's freed me. I like what I've become," Morgana said.
"I'm afraid that's not what I was talking about. I'm sorry," Nimueh said through tear-filled eyes.
Then she summoned a powerful bolt of electricity down from the sky and sent it flying through the window straight towards Morgana! Morgana screamed in equal parts of surprise and pain just before she was blown completely through the bedroom door and into the hall outside.
"What?!" Koschei said in absolute shock as he looked at Nimueh in disbelief.
He wouldn't believe that Nimueh would attack her own daughter and therefore had never even considered it. This single moment of complete surprise did just what Nimueh had wanted it to. He was distracted just long enough for it to break his concentration on his counter-spell.
A wooden box suddenly appeared in Sophia's hands now that she knew must contain Koschei's heart. She smiled in triumph as she quickly threw the box into the heart of the inferno going on in what used to be Morgana's room.
"No!" Koschei screeched in agony as his heart began to be consumed by the mystic flames.
"Oh, yes. That's what will happen to everyone who dares to mess around with my family from now on, Koschei. Be sure and say hello to the Baba Yaga when I send her to join you soon," Nimueh said in a cold voice.
Koschei never responded though. He was too busy dissolving into a pile of ashes to do anything by that point. As soon as the ashes themselves disappeared, the mystic flames in the room went with them. Apparently they were tied to the life force of their creator.
"What's going on here?" Sir Leon said in shock as he bent over Morgana in concern while several other knights were looking at the ruins of the room in shock.
"We just had an invader who tried to take over Camelot right under your nose, Leon. That's what. Now aren't you glad that you have someone as cute and sweet as me around to help fight the big boys for you?" Sophia asked in a smug voice.
"I never heard anything though," Sir Leon said in confusion.
"You obviously weren't meant to, Leon. That's why they call it magic," Sophia said.
"Is she alright?" Nimueh asked in a voice filled with guilt as she joined Sir Leon while he checked Morgana's vital signs.
Leon smiled as he reassured her, "She's fine as far as I can tell. She was just knocked out by whatever it was that hit her. We'll take her to Gaius to be sure though. Who attacked her?"
"I did," Nimueh said as she looked away from him.
"What?" Leon asked in surprise because he knew how much she loved her.
"Don't worry. She's not gone evil again, Leon. She was trying to free her from a spell that had been cast on her. I really hope that it worked too because I really, really don't want to fight an evil Morgana," Sophia said.
"I can't blame her if she does want to fight with me now," Nimueh said in an emotional voice.
"Nimueh, stop it. You didn't hurt her. Leon said so himself. I know you. You pulled your punch. You gave her just enough juice to knock her out but not to really hurt her. She'll be fine. You should be more worried about taking the spell off of her than that," Alice said as she put a comforting arm around her.
"What spell? What's going on?" Leon asked in confusion.
"I'll explain in a minute. Just take her to Gaius. I'll need to explain what's going on to him too," Nimueh said.
"I think I've already figured it out. Koschei tried to corrupt her didn't he?" Morgause said as she suddenly appeared out of nowhere startling the knights.
"Yes, and I'm afraid that he might have succeeded," Nimueh said.
"Not if I can help it. I don't even want to think about what kind of darkness that Morgana has inside of her with all of the pain that she's gone through thanks to Uther. I don't want to find out either," Morgause said as she looked at Morgana with a worried look.
"I'll take her to Gaius now," Leon said as two of the knights lifted Morgana up and carried her away with Nimueh and Morgause following them.
This left Sophia and Alice alone so Sophia finally started to ask her a question that she had been dying to for a while now, "Alice, I . . ."
"Yes, Sophia, what Morgana said was true. Everyone born with magic has the potential to be immortal especially when they're as powerful as she is. Before you ask that would include Merlin and Nimueh along with several others that you know so you won't be alone as long as they can manage to keep themselves in one piece. That's not always a given though with the kind of dangers that we face is it?" Alice said with a grin.
"You said that I would get to see the future though. You as much as said it anyway. Do you actually know, Alice? Do you know what will happen in the future?" Sophia asked.
"I know what's likely to happen, Soph. No one knows for certain though especially since Baba Yaga's still on the loose out there. We still have to stop her or we won't have a future," Alice said.
"Arthur's in trouble then?" Sophia asked with a sigh.
"Oh, yeah. I really think that we should join the party now that we finally can. They're going to need all of the help that they can get. Let's go," Alice said as she grabbed Sophia's hand and the two of them teleported away.
Meanwhile back at the 'party', there was an enormous battle for the very future of Camelot going on at that very moment as the knights were fighting and losing to the very children who they had come there to save. The children had now been changed into bloodthirsty lamias by the Baba Yaga and were doing their very best to completely wipe out Camelot's greatest defenders.
Even while this was going on, Merlin and Arthur were fighting with Sara who had been completely consumed by her own hunger to the point where she couldn't even speak any longer. All she did now was growl and hiss at the two of them as she did her very best to kill them.
The third battle going on that day might well have been the most important one of all however as the Baba Yaga fought with the Mother Goddess who had been joined by Gwen and Freya. They knew that if they could kill her that the children would be set free from her spell.
That was a very big if of course since the Baba Yaga had power such as none of them had ever seen before and was currently using it to fight them to a complete standstill.
It was unlucky for her then that the reinforcements were about to arrive.
"So far I'm less than impressed by the defenders of this land. Is this really the best that you can do?" Baba Yaga said with mocking laughter as she continued to more than hold her own against the three women.
It was at that point that the sky began to light up with enormous bursts of lightning which caused Merlin to smile. He didn't even have to look up to know that Nimueh was there. He could already feel it.
"Actually, it's not. Are you ready for more?" Nimueh said as she suddenly attacked the Baba Yaga from behind with a massive mystic blast that immediately caused her to scream out in pain.
"What's all the screaming about? I thought that you wanted this!" Nimueh screamed as she continued to attack her without mercy with a look of pure rage on her face.
"I think that we arrived just in time if we actually wanted to get to do anything because it looks like Nimey decided to come early," Sophia said as she and Alice now arrived at last to see Nimueh relentlessly assaulting the ancient witch.
"Yes, and it looks like she isn't wasting any time demolishing Baba Yaga either," Alice added.
"What happened? Is Morgana okay?" Merlin called out to them across the field even as he continued to fight with Sara.
"Hopefully she will be but that doesn't make Nimueh feel any better. They corrupted her, Merlin," Sophia said.
"She'll be alright. She'll shake it off soon. I know she will. She's too good a person to let any spell change who she is forever," Merlin said confidently.
Even as he said that though he suddenly remembered how Kilgharrah was originally violently opposed to Morgana finding out his secret and couldn't help but wonder about that. What would have happened to Morgana if Jenny hadn't changed things?
He really hoped that they weren't about to find out soon.
Nimueh continued to hit Baba Yaga with everything that she had even as the other Ladies of the Lake joined her. Nothing they did even with the help of the remaining members of the Triple Goddess seemed to make any difference however. Their attacks hurt Baba Yaga immensely but nothing they did seemed to be able to do any real damage to her.
Baba Yaga continued to laugh at them as she said, "I have to admit that you're all much better than I thought, but in the end you're still going to lose, dearies. I can't die except at the hands of someone pure and innocent. I'm pretty sure that I can safely say that that doesn't describe any of you."
"She's right," Sophia realized with a sigh.
"Someone pure and innocent," Merlin said to himself even as he continued to fight with Sara.
"Merlin, aren't things bad enough without you having to subject me to your mumbling? Even now you're still finding new ways to annoy me," Arthur said with a groan as he continued to do his best to finish this quickly by stabbing Sara through the heart.
He wanted to do this as painlessly as possible because he knew that this wasn't Sara's fault. She had never asked for any of this after all.
As Merlin saw the look of reluctance on Arthur's face, this just cemented what he was thinking. Could it really be that simple though?
"Arthur, what if Sara is the key?" Merlin suddenly said.
"What are you talking about now? If you haven't noticed, I'm in the fight of my life here," Arthur said in irritation.
"Just shut up and listen to me for once. Sara was able to resist the hunger of the Lamia for a long time, right? Well, what if it was because she was so pure and innocent to start with that it took the curse a lot longer to affect her. In fact, maybe it wouldn't have affected her at all thanks to that if the Baba Yaga hadn't intervened. Maybe that's why she intervened, Arthur. Maybe it wasn't as much to make Sara her ally but because she knew that she was one of the few people who could kill her," Merlin said.
Arthur's eyebrows went up as he said, "You might actually be right for once, but what good does that do us now? We can't exactly reason with her now can we? Her mind's gone."
"We don't have to reason with her. We just need to maneuver her into position," Merlin said with an evil smile.
Arthur grinned too now as he said, "I see what you mean. This plan might actually work even if you did suggest it. Let's do it then. Start slowly backing up and in the direction of Baba Yaga."
"Got it. We'll lead her straight to her," Merlin said.
Sophia grinned after having overheard this hushed exchange between the two men with the advanced hearing of a Sidhe and said, "Nimey, let's see if we can push the Baba Yaga towards Merlin and Arthur."
"What? Why?" Nimueh asked even as she continued to fight just as hard as ever.
"Just do it," Sophia insisted.
"So you think that those two can help you? Ha! It's not going to matter how many people that you bring into this fight. I'll still win in the end because no one here can overcome me," Baba Yaga bragged.
Slowly but surely Arthur and Merlin slowly led Sara closer to Baba Yaga even as Nimueh pushed her towards her on her end. Finally when the two of them were within arm's reach of one another, Merlin suddenly ducked one of Sara's attacks, and her tentacle touched the Baba Yaga on the back instead.
Baba Yaga screamed as Sara immediately started leeching the lifeforce out of her. This time around Koschei wasn't there to save her, and the Baba Yaga quickly started falling to pieces. The witch only had time for one last anguished agonizing scream before Nimueh kept her promise to Koschei and she joined him in the afterlife.
As soon as the Baba Yaga was dead, all of her spells were immediately broken. The children instantly reverted back to normal with no idea what had happened to them and so did Sara. She just looked at Merlin and Arthur blankly as she tried to figure out what was going on.
"Did I hurt anyone?" She finally asked in a frightened voice.
Merlin smiled as he sighed in relief and said in a reassuring voice, "No one human."
"I don't remember anything. The last thing I remember was trying to kill Baba Yaga and being knocked out from behind. Then I woke up here," Sara said in an upset tone.
"You're alright now though, aren't you? You're back in control again with her gone now, right?" Merlin asked hesitantly.
Sara smiled as she realized, "Yes, the hunger's gone. Well, it's not gone but it is back to an acceptable level where I can control it again anyway. Don't worry. You're safe."
"Who was worried?" Merlin asked with a nervous laugh.
"Yes, it's not like you almost killed us or anything," Arthur said with frown.
Sara looked at them in horror as she said, "I'm so sorry."
"Don't worry about it. It wasn't your fault and you saved the day anyway so there's no harm done," Arthur said.
Sara nodded but still looked sad because her curse was far from gone. Now things were even worse because she finally knew what would happen if she was pushed too far.
"So I suppose I'll just leave Camelot then. It's better for everyone that way," Sara said as she turned to leave only to be stopped by Arthur.
"If it wasn't for you there wouldn't be a Camelot, Sara. You're not going anywhere. You can stay right here," Arthur said.
"But I . . ." Sara started to protest.
"Sara, I will find a way to undo this curse somehow. I promise," Merlin said as he saw this.
Sara smiled at him briefly as she said, "That's sweet of you to say but don't make promises that you can't keep."
"I don't," Merlin said in a firm tone.
Sara then hugged him in appreciation as Nimueh said, "Don't get too used to that, Sara. He's going to be a married man soon. In fact, it's happening tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Merlin asked in surprise since the wedding date was still days away.
"Tomorrow. I'm tired of waiting. I need for something good to happen for a change, Merlin, or I'm going to lose my mind," Nimueh admitted.
"Please don't do that again, Nimueh. I just got used to this new personality," Merlin joked.
"Very funny. You know what I mean," Nimueh said in a depressed voice.
"Yes, I know. Morgana's going to be alright. Baba Yaga's gone now so I'm sure that her spell over her broke too like it did with the children," Merlin said confidently as he gave her a tender kiss.
"I hope so, Merlin. You didn't see her. It was like she wasn't even the same person anymore. She was . . . just like me before I became Cara," Nimueh admitted causing both Merlin and Arthur to look worried.
"I'm sure the spell broke on her too. All of her spells seemed to be tied into her life force from what I saw," Sophia reassured them.
"You'll all be happy to know that she's right. Morgana woke up just now and she's completely back to normal. She was also very upset because she remembers what happened," Morgause said as she suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Did she tell you what happened?" Nimueh asked with a guilty look.
Morgause smiled as she said, "Yes, she did and she's fine, Mum. She isn't hurt and she isn't angry at you. She understands exactly why you did it. She was upset because of what she did not because of you. Don't worry so much. Gaius gave her something to put her to sleep and is looking after her. She's going to be fine, alright?"
Nimueh nodded and began to smile with relief now as she began to feel happier than she had been in a while now. Now maybe that Morgana was safe again she could get Sophia to break her contract with her as well. That along with the wedding would make everything in her life perfect right now.
"You know I actually remember the day when I didn't have people just appear out of thin air around me on a constant basis," Arthur said.
"I never heard you complaining about it before especially when I'd pop up in the middle of one of your battles to give you a helping hand, Pendragon," Morgause said with a grin.
"I don't mind it really. It's just that I've realized that I've actually gotten used to it. That's more than a bit scary. Not that I mind it much in your case. It's always good to be able to get a visit from you no matter how far I go," Arthur admitted as he kissed her.
"You might not think that one day when she's angry at you, Arthur," Merlin said with a chuckle.
"Shut up, Merlin, or I might take that personally," Nimueh said.
"I didn't mean . . ." Merlin said nervously.
"I know. I just like teasing you especially now that I know that Morgana's okay," Nimueh said in a light-hearted mood as she gave him a kiss.
Even as she did so, the sun came out and sunshine streamed across the entire area. Everyone there was bathing in its warmth, and in a way it was almost as if they were experiencing Nimueh's happiness right along with her.
Back at the castle meanwhile, Morgana was laying on her bed in her new bedroom as Gaius slowly left the room for a while. He had other duties to perform or he would have stayed with her longer to watch over her more. As it was though, he was fairly confident that she was going to be alright now once she had had some time to rest and relax.
Nearby watching her through the window from a tree, a furious Blodeuwedd watched her lie there in disbelief as she said, "No, no, no! It's all fallen apart. You said that this would work. You said that I would finally get to see Nimueh suffer. Now I'll have to go on the run from her as soon as she remembers me. You tricked me. I never would have tried to help Baba Yaga and Koschei if I had known that they were just going to fail like everyone else has against them."
"Did they fail or did they succeed beyond their wildest dreams and just didn't get to live long enough to see it?" A voice asked with a chuckle.
"Stop speaking in riddles! What are you talking about?" Blodeuwedd asked.
A woman whose body was covered in an aura of energy that caused her to glow like the sun now suddenly revealed herself to the owl who was once human and smiled at her as she said, "They're so sure that Morgana made it through this unscathed, aren't they? What if they're wrong though? What if Morgana was what I was referring to all along and I made sure that the spell on her would stay unaffected by the Baba Yaga's death? How better to gain revenge on your enemy and mine than to have one of the very things that they both sought to keep from happening for so long occur anyway. One day Nimueh will have to face her own daughter in battle, and that's the day that your revenge will finally be complete, my friend."
Blodeuwedd began to chuckle now even as she said, "You never did tell me why you were doing this though. Who is your enemy? It's not Nimueh is it? I've already guessed that much."
"No, it's a woman named Rose Tyler and her daughter Jenny is the one who's responsible for this entire new timeline. How better to gain my revenge on my enemy than by helping you to destroy yours? Soon Morgana will achieve the destiny that was denied to her before in the original timeline and in this one. She will rule this world because no one will even realize what she's even up to until it's far too late to stop her. No one but you," The woman named Nightshade said with a triumphant smile before she teleported away.
"This will be sweet. Very, very sweet indeed," Blodeuwedd said as she continued to watch Morgana who now suddenly got up out of her supposedly sound sleep and walked up to her window while she looked directly at her.
Blodeuwedd started to fly away until Morgana quickly said, "You don't have to be afraid of me. In fact, we're about to become the best of friends. I could use an ally like you who can do things for me without being noticed and who can be my eyes and ears around the kingdom. In return, I'll make sure that you regain your body and your power. Do we have a deal?"
"Deal," Blodeuwedd said eagerly.
"Come inside then. We have much to talk about. There's going to be a wedding soon after all, and I must prepare for it. I want to give the happy couple a gift for their special day. I need your help for a few suggestions for it," Morgana said with a wicked smile.
"Oh, I'm sure that I have plenty of ideas for that," Blodeuwedd said with a cruel chuckle.
Then she flew into Morgana's window and the two began to conspire together far into the night. An all new alliance of evil had finally started at last that could potentially topple all of Camelot if it wasn't stopped soon.
Luckily for Camelot, Morgana and Blodeuwedd weren't as unobserved as they thought that they were that night. They were being watched by a young woman with long dark hair and green eyes who had a determined look on her face.
"I won't fail you, Mother. I promise. I will make sure that you don't stay this way for long. This time Arthur will not fall to you no matter what I have to do in order to prevent it. This time I'm going to save you from yourself," The young woman whispered to herself as she watched her mother with sad eyes.
Then she vanished as she jumped forward through time to the wedding the next day. She was going to make sure that it all turned out very differently this time.
This time she would not allow her mother's surprise to work. She was going to make sure that the reign of Queen Morgana never occurred.
Next: Morgana's future daughter (more on her next time by the way) has her work cut out for her it seems as Morgana springs her own very deadly surprise on the wedding guests. What will it be? Will it succeed or can the timeline finally be put back on track this time? No matter what happens to Camelot, Merlin and Nimueh definitely won't be spending their honeymoon like they expected that they would. You'll see what I mean next time.
