"Live!" he urged her silently.

Morgana was still slowing dying. He tried his magic again, for Merlin could no longer deny it. He loved her, had loved her for a while. Some guilt plagued him because of Freya but all he could do to save Morgana was release his true feelings.

"Merlin?" she said groggily.

"Morgana, thank goodness."

"You kissed me?"

Merlin froze, speechless for a moment. She had been unconscious, dying, yet she knew.

"You saved me."

"I had to. I could not.. I would.. I…" he sputtered.

"I love you too."

Merlin's heart skipped a beat. Before he could try to speak, react or all other ways, she kissed him.

"It cannot be!" cried Denar, astounded.

"The most pure magic." Smiled the King.

Denar roared and flew at Merlin, but Morgana was too quick for him. She cast the most powerful binding spell she knew. However she was still weak so it didn't have the desired affect.

"Merlin," she groaned.

"Yes."

This time, they did it together. Denar shrieked.

"Well done!" exclaimed the King, "We should aide the others."

"Indeed." Said Merlin.

"I will watch over them, you go to your companions." Odair said to Merlin.

Merlin nodded and went to the others. Percival was better, but Brynn was supporting his weight, and Elyon was still unconscious.

"You are a warlock too?" gasped Percival.

Merlin nodded grimly. Brynn looked at her husband, her face unreadable.

"Did you know Brynn?"

"Yes dear. He kept my secret it was only fair to protect his, I know I should have trusted you, but…"

"Brynn, it is ok. I trust Merlin, I trust you, with my life. We need to aide Elyon and hasten to Gwen."

"Do we have the herb?" inquired Merlin.

Brynn opened her hands gently and presented the herbs.

"Excellent. Brynn, will you assist me with Elyon?" Merlin said to Brynn.

Brynn looked at Percival, who nodded. She gently let her spouse sit down and recover while the two assisted Elyon. He opened his eyes.

"Wha, what happened?" he murmured, weak and dazed.

"All in good time Elyon." Said Percival.

"Right now we need to get to Gwen. She does not have much time!" said Merlin.

"Yes indeed." Elyon agreed.

Brynn and Merlin hoisted up their companion. Percival regained his strength.

"Where is Morgana?" asked Brynn.

"She's recovering, she saved my life."

Brynn's eyebrows contracted.

"Long story, and one we do not have time for." Said Merlin.

Brynn nodded solemnly.

"I will keep my eye on her." Said Brynn.

"There is no need."

Brynn nodded. She was, after all, the one who helped change Morgana's heart. She felt ashamed of herself.

"Come friends!" said Percival.

They left the cave, silent, No more distractions were allowed or Gwen would die, if she hadn't already.
