The Hanged Man is…Gilli! I love Gilli. He's so cute. (Plus, as he's played by the same actor as Dudley from the Harry Potter movies, he proves that Duddy-kins ain't a muggle!)
WHY. ISN'T. GILLI. IN. THE. CHARACTER. FILTER? Helios is. Gorlois is. We've not even seen Gorlois. Why no Gilli? No George or Trickler either. Why are all my favourites not in there? =(
Also, morbid grammar fact: Did you know that a person can't be 'hung'? They must be 'hanged.' 'Hung' is for objects, 'hanged' is for people. Weird thing to have a rule about.
Thanks to the electric phantom for reviewing! Hmm, there seems to be less interest in the fic as I keep going. Maybe I suck.
Enjoy!
XII – The Hanged Man – Gilli
Key Phrases – Transition, anticipation of progress, seeing life from a different angle.
Gilli knew he owed a great debt to Merlin. The warlock had saved Gilli from himself and stopped him from making a grave mistake. If people were ever to see magic as a force for good, magic-users needed to stop seeking revenge. Hatred begat more hatred, and it would be a vicious circle. Things needed to change, and Gilli had no doubts about who would be leading that transformation.
For now, Gilli would continue travelling, spreading the word. Merlin was changing Camelot, whether he realised it or not. And when the day came that magic was legal once more, Gilli would seek Merlin out and thank him.
For Merlin was right, they were kin. And Gilli looked forward to the day when he could stand by his brother's side as he ushered in a New Age.
Shadows no longer.
One of my all-time favourite scenes in Merlin is when he reveals his magic to Gilli. That piano music and the expressions on their faces…I love it. =')
I really hope Gilli comes back.
Thanks for reading! Next time is Death! *Evil laugh*
dannic38, I know you were looking forward to it! Who could it be? Clue: By bringing life, they brought so much death. Go on, have a guess!
