124. Finale Part 1. Light

They say the darkest hour comes just before the dawn. I believe the saying also works in reverse.

Peace had been upon Camelot for forty years before she fell. A blitz attack that I should've seen coming.

The Great Dragon had been right all those years ago. I was a fool to allow Mordred to live, young though he may've been.

In the Druid tongue, 'Emrys' means immortal, and not for the first time, I'm desperately hoping that it's not intended as an omen.

Sealed in a sea-cave far below Camelot's dungeons, I'm forced to live. Live, and hopefully die.


Cheers!
