ARTHUR'S P.O.V

As Arthur walked down the hall towards the balcony, he saw all the carnage of the battle had been cleaned, gone, as if the only thing that had happened there today was a few people walking down this hall as if it was anyother day. Even the dead from the streets below had been removed, along with the bodies of Alfric Wolvzbane, and the gards who had stepped in front of their King when the sorcerer had atempted to kill him, the ones who gave their lives trying to save Arthur. He felt gulity, that he was responsible for their deaths. He also wondered if they had familys, wives, children, and parents who would grive for their loved ones. Arthur wasn't just thinking about the gards ethier. The sorcerers who had tried to kill him, he felt sorry for them. A glance at Merlin, who was walking beside him with some difficulty, for his ingery still pained him, showed that he was also thinking the same thing. Arthur knew that Merlin had never liked killing, He used it only as a last resort, when persuading words failed him.

"The sadest thing about this," Arthur said, "Is that they all thought I would keep the ban on magic, if they had just waited, they would on known the truth."

Merlin nodded solomly before answering.

"It would be even better if there never was a ban."

Arthur agered with that, if his father had never baned magic, he wouldn't of made so many enimies. More people had wanted to kill him and Arthur when he started, and even after, The Great Purge, it was his fathers fault, if Uther hadn't been so blind to the fact that magic wasn't good nor evil, that it depended on the person, he would never of had problems with the sorcerers. It was because of his father that the people of magic had rebelled, Arthur was ready to bet that more then half of all the magic users that had ever atacked Camelot since The Great Purge only did so out of revenge, and anger caused by sadness. They would never of atacked if there was no ban, they probably even would of been asets. If only the ban had never exsisted.

But it had, and now after this day, it would be gone, and magic would return to Camelot.

Arthur walked on to the balcony, where Merlin had fought off so many sorcerers, and fallen, shown what he was in front of all of Camelot, and proved his loyalty. He looked at the crowd assembled before him, and he wondered what they had thought, during the battle, and about Merlin. The crowd was slient.

"My people of Camelot," he began, "I stand before you, not only as your ruler, but as someone who is willing to listen to you, and what you have to say." He paused, taking a deep breath, what he would say today would change the future of every man, woman, and child in the entire kingdom, "I care about all of my people, from the youngest serving girl to the oldest lord, and I will protect them all, and treat them farely." Arthur paused, the next part of his speach would change the lives of so many, "Allof them, even the ones who have magic. You all saw what happened earlier with my servent, but you didn't here what I heard. My servent, Merlin, was ready to give his life for me. Me! When own father had spent years trying to whipe out people like him. Tell me if you don't think that is true loyalty." Arthur stoped talking, waiting to see if anyone was going to dissagree, they didn't. He continued, "I have known Merlin for years, and I knew he was a sorcerer for almost half of those years. Why didn't I tell my father? Because he has saved my life more times then I can count, risking his own life, once even attempting to sacrifice himself for me! Merlin has also tought me a great deal about friendship, loyalty, trust, and magic. And no one can say I am lieing when I say that my father was wrong about magic. It is not evil in itself, but it depends on the person inside the power that counts. The reason my father my father thought it was evil was he was to blinded by hate. He only wanted wanted to see evil, and so that is what he saw, but I know that in every person's heart lies kindness, so this is the day that I, King Arthur Pendragon, Am casting aside the ban on magic, and in doing so, am allowing magic to return to the land, as long as it is not used for evil, or against the weak. Let magic return, so that no more inocent people have to die, let magic return as a force for good!"

The crowd cheered, Merlin walked up to Arthur and yelled,

"Long live the King Arthur!"

And he sent a golden blasts of lights into the multi-colered sunset sky. Arthur smiled to himself, what ever may come, will come, but right now, he couldn't be happier, surouded by friends and subjects alike. This was were his destiny awaited him.

GWEN'S P.O.V

As Gwen stood in the background, listening to Arthur she rembered what a prat he used to be, thinking himself above everyone else. Now she fully realized how different he was now, older and more mature, and he also developed a higher sence of caring and understanding. Yes, Arthur would be a great King.

MORGANA'S P.O.V

Morgana had never been happier, magic had returned to Camelot, and now she was free, no more did she need to live in constant fear of someone finding out she was a Seer, and sentenceing her to death. She didn't need to hide anymore.

MERLIN'S P.O.V

Merlin couldn't help but grin, his destiny had been fullfilled, finaly after so long, he didn't have to keep his life a secret anymore, and he could tell Morgana was just as glad as he was. then he heard it the voice of The Great Dragon.

Merlin.

Yes?

Well done young warlock, magic has returned to the land.

What should I do now? I've protected Arthur untill he became King like I was meant to, but now what?

Many people do not aprove of Arthur's desion to allow magic, and many more will try to take advantage of the young King. You must stay here.

Honestly, I was going to stay even if you told me not to.

Humpth.

Yes, whille there might be troble ahead, everything was going to work out eventully, and as long as magic remained in Camelot, the land was in balance and at peace.
