Merlin had given up on Albion ever happening. But then surprising events began to take place and familiar faces returned, even if they didn't have any memories of Camelot or who they once were but one could only live in hope. A reincarnation fic, except for Merlin because well Merlin had always been around, and far longer than he cared to admit. No slash. Friendship. Some romance.

When Albion cries out under the strain of war and famine, Arthur Pendragon rises from the depths of Avalon. Fifteen long years after his demise the Once and Future King returns to his people. Post 5x13. No Slash.
