A/n. Alright here's the next chapter sorry it's a bit late but I got caught up in the festive season and watching the last episode of Merlin! (the death scene I may have used). Anyways, on to the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin. (Although if I did there wouldn't have been so many deaths!)

Chapter 2

The two armies faced each other neither daring to move, it was then that The Once and Future King, Arthur Pendragon walked forward, the warlock Merlin Emrys to his right and the Great Dragon Kilgharrah landing to his left. At the same moment Morgana Pendragon walked forward as well, the sorcerer Mordred stands to her left and the young dragon Aithusa cowering to her right. Arthur spoke first his voice was calm and quiet, but carrying to everyone on the field, like a whisper on the wind. "Morgana Pendragon, you have declared war upon Camelot, would you at least state your reasons why?" he asked smoothly.

Morgan's voice was also calm but cold and filled with malice, "Arthur Pendragon, we fight for the freedom of our kind, from the likes of you who would prosecute us for having gifts we were born with and did not choose. Our kind has been killed and we are here for vengeance," She stopped, as her voice almost reached a shout, but Arthur did not waver. Before he could reply she continued, "Do you know of the warlock Emrys?" She asked, but not giving enough time for him to answer she carried on, "He has been helping you for some time now, probably about eight years on my count, maybe even more. Did you know he is my doom, but unfortunately also my destiny," She almost seemed to purr," Would you like to know who he is? He is someone so close to, someone you rely on so much and trust so much and someone you would even call a friend! Imagine Arthur Pendragon with a friend," She laughed along with her army, "His name is-"

"Merlin," Arthur finished for her. Looking at her shocked expression it was his turn to laugh along with Merlin and Kilgharrah.

"You knew," She questioned disbelievingly.

"Yes Morgana, Merlin's secret was revealed last year, and he was banished for it. One week ago I called Merlin back to Camelot, and in that same moment repealed the band on magic allowing it back in to the land, also naming him my Court Sorcerer and first advisor to me." Morgana was silent.

"It is no matter; if there is no reason to fight for freedom, we now fight for the death of Emrys and if anyone who gets in our way, we will kill them as well!" Morgana yelled suddenly, turning on her heal she stormed back towards her army, Mordred and Aithusa following loyally. Arthur and Emrys turned also, walking back to the army of Camelot, while Kilgharrah launched himself into the air, preparing for the inevitable attack.

The Mighty Last battle of Arthur Pendragon raged on Camlann's plain for hours but for the two armies it seemed like decades. Most of Camelot's soldiers were no match for Morgana's men but some who had joined very recently had the ability to use magic to aid them throughout the battle. Morgana's men, although aided with magic, seemed unable to use it as an offence and Arthur wondered if it was Merlin's doing, it probably was.

The ever powerful warlock Emrys tirelessly protected and helped Camelot's army, while at the same time battling the never relenting Morgana, neither winning nor losing. Kilgharrah flew over the battle field spewing fire over the enemy soldiers and trying to talk sense into Aithusa, it turned out the young impressionable dragon was unsure why he was even working for Morgana, but who kept trying to knock him out of the sky. It was never going to be enough, both sides were beginning to tire, but neither would relent for fear of their lives and the future of Albion.

It was then that King Arthur came face to face with Mordred, neither spoke but both were breathing heavily and each of them could see how tired the other was. The field seemed to go quiet as the two men stared at each other, before Arthur could react Mordred raised his sword and plunged it into Arthur's stomach. Falling to his knees Arthur stared at the sword in Mordred hand, then raising his own sword Excalibur, Arthur with the last of his strength pushed it up into Mordred's heart. And he fell, still kneeling Arthur watched as his once loyal knight fell the ground dead, a man he had trusted and saved, but had betrayed him for Morgana. Arthur's thoughts turned to Guinevere; he had to see her to tell he was alright, forgetting the wound Mordred had inflicted and the battle still raging around him. Using his sword to prop him up, Arthur managed a few steps before he collapsing again, falling into unconscious.

Merlin watched as Arthur fell to the ground, not daring to believe his eyes, but when Arthur didn't move Merlin let out a roar of anger, hatred and fear. Morgana was so shocked with aw she did not have time to protect herself from Merlin's spell before it hit her and she crashed into the floor dead. As he ran to Arthur, the world seemed to go quiet and move in slow motion, Merlin's destiny was over, gone, Arthur was going to die, Morgana was dead and so was Mordred. It hit Merlin then, the truth of his destiny and he fell to his knees and let out an almighty cry, for this was the end Arthur's life, so it was the end of his.

A/n. This is not the end I still have one or maybe two more chapters left to write. Not a particularly good ending but I got a bit bored with it and wanted to move on. Anyway please review and hopefully the next chapter will be up sooner!
