A/N: Wow. Long day. Busy day. Lots of people. Yikes. Family went out for sushi tonight. NOM! Umm, what else? Not much, I guess. Oh, yeah. GUYS, THE FINALE'S TOMORROW! (Or today, technically, I guess.) Words do not describe how excited I am! Waiting until after Mass and presents is going to be absolutely torturous. Have faith in me. lol
Okay, so this is a sequel to Winter. It wasn't quite what the reviewer (can't remember your name; sorry.) requested, but the muse wanted dark!Merlin, so dark!Merlin is what you get. Enjoy!

99. Banishment Part 3. Autumn
Arthur hadn't seen Merlin in months. Not since he had condemned and banished him for practicing magic.
The last place, then, that he expected to see his former manservant was where he was right now; staring him down, alone, in the Darkling Woods, a foul and twisted expression on his face.
"Merlin!"
The sorcerer raised his hand, sending Arthur flying backwards.
"You," he spat. "You did this to me!"
Arthur had never been afraid of Merlin, but seeing him like this; angry, bitter, physically and emotionally scarred, it scared him.
Suffering death at his best friend's hand scared him, too.
Cheers!
