"Go on, Aurelia. Do it. Arthur could be here any second" Regina said. Nodding, Aurelia began taking everything she needed for the potion and pouring their contents into the vile.
"Now for the final ingrediant," Emma said, handing her the vile with her tear. But before Aurelia could pour it in, Arthur and his knights appeared behind them.
"Stop! Stay away from the tree" he said. "I won't ask twice. You and you're people have done nothing but lie to me ever since you got here. We welcomed you, celebrated you, and in return, you bring the Dark One into the heart of my kingdom. Endangering all who live here. Give me the dagger!"
"You want it? Come and get it" Regina said, holding up a fireball. "Now, Aurelia."
Nodding Aurelia turned and dumped the vile into the rest of the potion. Immediately a bust of light and dark magic came souring out, wrapping itself around Aurelia.
"It's working!" she shouted.
"Charge!" Arthur shouted but Regina and Emma used their magic to hold them back. Aurelia felt the magic push through her and used it to aim at the tree. With light magic coming from one hand and dark from the other, she held her ground.
Then, with a large gust of wind, the tree was gone. In its place was a man.
The man stood up, before pushing the hood of his cloak off, revealing his face. He looked at Aurelia and smiled.
"I've been waiting for you, Aurelia," he said before turning to Arthur. "And you. The boy who would be king. My great hope. How you've disappointed me."
"I disappointed you? You have me false prophecies. Sent me on an impossible quest. You ruined my life!" Arthur shouted, about to pull out his sword.
"Put it away, Arthur. We both know that broken sword can't hurt me" Merlin said.
"This is not finished," Arthur said as he led his men away.

Everyone watched in anticipation as Merlin stood in front of David and Mary Margaret, waving his hand over them as he pulled them from whatever spell Arthur had them under.
When they came to, they looked around, confused at how they got back to Granny's.
"There. That should do it" Merlin said.
"Lia, we're so sorry," Mary Margaret said, walking up to her. "If we would have known how bad Arthur was, we never would have confronted him on our own," David said.
"It's okay. I'm just glad we managed to get Merlin out of that tree" she said. David looked at the man standing in front of them, shocked.
