I'd be sad if my summary is too long for the story. By the way, it supposed to be Finna/Alator's message.

Disclaimer: You'd better be thankful that I don't own Merlin.

Prompt: From Riah021101: Prompt: What if Merlin was the one supposed to die in the battle of Camlann?

Rating: T

Genre: Angst/Tragedy

Characters: Arthur, Merlin, Dochru, Gaius, Mordred, Morgana, the Saxons

Time Frame: Season 5

Summary: Let loose the hounds of war. Let the dreadfire of the Last Priestess rain down from angry skies. For brother will slaughter brother. For friend will murder friend. 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

"Merlin, you aren't coming with me to Camlann."

Merlin looked at Arthur, confused. "What are you talking about? I always go with you."

"Not this time." Arthur looked down at his armour, unable to face his friend.

"And why not?!" Merlin demanded.

"Because you are completely useless and will only get in my way!" Arthur snapped.

Merlin stiffened in hurt. "Fine, if that's how you really feel..."

"It is," Arthur said without hesitation.

It hurt Arthur to say these things, but if it meant that Merlin would stay away from the fighting, then hell, it was worth it.

-I played around again with the actual dialogue. At least I didn't include "I guess I was wrong..."

Oh, yeah, my dad, step-mom, and brother are about to watch both parts of the finale (hopefully tonight). Wish us luck!
