I was wondering if I do next the epilogue or do you want little bit more something? If you want; tell me what you want to read.

When the light disappeared, only Merlin and Iseldir were wake.

"Is he dead?" Iseldir asked when he came closer and looked Allan motionless body.

"Yes, he killed himself. His own life was the payment." Merlin sighed and Iseldir helped him up. "But I'm afraid that his soul will never rest." Merlin looked the pendant. "Ãberstan." He commanded and the pendant broke until there was only dust left. Then he looked around and walked at Gwaine.

"Wake up my friend. Weccan." He touched Gwaine's head. Merlin watched him little bit worriedly.

"Are you alright Gwaine?"

"Did I drink too much again? I though that I saw Merlin. That he was here. And he was actually Bleddyn, the next court sorcerer. But he said to me that he didn't want to be." Gwaine was holding his head.

"Arthur maybe chances his mind after this." Merlin noted when their eyes finally met.

"Merlin? What…? How…? You?" Slowly Gwaine rose, staring at Merlin.

"I'm sorry Gwaine. I will explain later. Now we are bit of hurry." Merlin felt himself uncomfortable.

"You are alive? Really?"

"Yes Gwaine."

"You sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Did you really died?" Gwaine demanded.

"Yes."

"But still you are now alive?"

"Right."

"Alright, I need something to drink." Gwaine's hand searched the cup.

"Not now. Later. Could you please go outside with Iseldir? Alator is there and I think he needs your help with the guards."

"Sure." But before Gwaine left he hugged Merlin. "You scared us. Never again Merlin, never again I'm not going to bury you." He whispered.

"I promise. Now, go before they break in. You really have to move Allan's body away."

They could hear some loud knocking from the door.

Merlin watched after his friend. It would be Gwaine someday who he has to bury. Merlin looked around when he walked toward Arthur and Gwen. He would be saying goodbyes to every one of them, and their children, and their children. He would bury Arthur and Gwen someday.

First he woke up Gwen who burst to cry. She didn't wanted to left Merlin go.

"I'm not going anywhere and we need Arthur to wake up." Merlin said gently and finally Gwen let him go.

"Arthur, you sleepy head, wake up."

"Too early, let me sleep." Arthur murmured and actually turned his side. Then he yelped when he felt the wound on his side and was fast up. "Merlin?"

"Yes?"

Arthur hit him. Merlin slumped on the ground holding his chin.

"You damn fool! You liar! You, you…" Arthur tried to find the words but gave up. "Idiot." He muttered watching his friend.

"Feel better?" Merlin asked and rubbed his chin.

"Yes." Arthur admitted with satisfaction.

"Arthur, that was unnecessary." Gwen scolded him.

"No it wasn't. He really deserved it. Was your death fake?" Arthur demanded to know. Merlin shook his head.

"No it wasn't. I explain later, when you have calmed down and can actually listen me."

"I'm calm." Arthur denied.

"No you don't." Merlin and Gwen both noted. "But this will bring up some questions Arthur." Merlin said and looked around.

"What?"

"I. Your servant. Friend. Magic. You. Chancing the law of magic." Merlin listed.

"And everyone here heard you, and saw you, remember?" Arthur pointed and Gwen smiled.

"He is right Merlin. There will be some questions but, I think people can move along. This whole week they have saw the goodness coming from magic. And lot of people know you Merlin. All these years you haven't been so invisible than what you may think for yourself. All these people know how loyal you are to Arthur. And to me." Gwen clinged herself to Merlin's arm and pouted her lips. "I think you better start to wake people up."

"Wake Leon and the other first. And Annis. I think it would be good if she say the truth about you. I mean that you are her grandchild. What about your mother? "Arthur asked.

"I visited with her earlier in the morning, I spoke at the same time with Alator. How you discovered that I'm Emrys? "Merlin asked. Arthur grinned.

"I saw you, or do I say Bleddyn and Isilder later in the afternoon. From his behaviour toward you told me who you maybe were. I wondered full day, who Emrys is and tried to found some signs. And then I got it."

"How wonderful to you sire. You actually used your brains." Merlin complimented.

"Merlin, just do your job will you? If I remember right, here is the feast going on." Gwaine yelled from the door. "And if Arthur would be come here for a sec. Please? Here is one dead body, lot of druids and no king. Just hurry!"

"Right. So, next Leon?" Merlin asked.

It wasn't half bad eventually. Arthur confirmed Merlin's position and said casually that Allan was out the agenda. Arthur and Gwen pretended like nothing really serious had happened and the rest of the people followed the example. Bit by bit Merlin relaxed and finally also his mother came up when the whole Annis-Hunith-Merlin relationship came up. It wasn't until small hours when Merlin and Arthur walked side by side through now quiet castle.

"Someone have to tell Gwaine to stop singing when he is too drunk." Arthur grimaced.

"What about Leon? I never though that he would sing along with him. "Merlin laughed and Arthur smiled.

"That was just too much. I noticed that some of the Camelot's ladies really enjoyed your company."

"Why you sound so surprised?"

"You and women? I mean, you are so, you are girl."

Merlin hit him on the arm angrily and Arthur grinned.

"Stop that. You really don't know me at all."

"There you're right. There must be lot what I don't know about you. Dragonlord. Warlock. Emrys. Ambrosius. "Arthur listed. "We are actually related Merlin."

"Without that information I could live." Merlin sighed and started to run when Arthur tried to hit him.

Their path led them up the northern wall, and they were greeted with the cool wind and the weak glowing light from the east. They stood there in a long time just watching the landscape what spread out below.

"When I first time arrived here, I never though anything like this could happen." Merlin said.

"When I saw you first time, I can say the same thing. Merlin."

They laughed but then Arthur went silent.

"What it is Arthur?" Merlin asked finally.

"Will you forgive me?"

Merlin looked at him with surprise. "Of course I forgive you."

Arthur just nodded and Merlin suddenly realized. "But, do you forgive yourself?"

"It may take little bit longer time." Arthur admitted. Merlin turned away.

"I know the feeling." his voice full of regrets. Arthur put his hand over his shoulders.

"We have lot to talk about." Arthur reminded him.

"Yes we have. But, not until tomorrow?" Merlin begged and Arthur ruffled his hair and laughed.

"I promise, not until tomorrow. Then we have a long talk and you will explain everything and I promise to listen calmly."

And there they stood, side by side, and welcomed the new morning coming to Camelot.
