I watched the newest episode of Game of Thrones last night...

As the great horn sounds a cold dawn at Camlann. The prophets do not lie. There Merlin will meet his end, upon that mighty plain.
Let's Go On An Adventure
Arthur slipped into Gaius's chambers. The physician looked up in surprise. "Ah, Sire, I wasn't expecting you, come in."
Arthur sat down at a bench. "How is Merlin doing?"
Gaius sighed. "He's resting. Thank you for bringing him home."
"Hmm." Arthur glanced away. "What do you know about seers?"
Gaius looked at him funnily. "Well, seers can see the future. What they dream will most surely come to pass. It isn't exactly magic, but the two are often connected. Morgana was a seer, for one. Why do you ask?"
Arthur solemnly looked towards Merlin's room.
-This takes place post "Arthur's Bane." Mordred was still knighted, but it was probably Arthur who spoke to the Diamir after Merlin was knocked unconscious.
-You can presume that Arthur told Gaius what he was told by Dochru about Merlin. However, he isn't going to tell Merlin that he is destined to die.
-Later, in the future, Finna tells Arthur that Merlin will die at Camlann. However, in this, Morgana is Merlin's destiny, and she is his doom. Mordred's going to be fine.
