Merlin's POV

This can't be happening. No. I refuse to let you die Arthur!

"- No. I said to my best friend

- All your magic, Merlin, it can't save me. Said Arthur smiling

-  I can. I am not going to lose you. I said strugling to stand and help Arthur while he patted my hand

- Just, just hold me. Please. He said and I stoped trying. There's something that I want to say. He added

- You're not going to say goodbye. I said wiping my tears away

-  No, Merlin.... Everything you've done. I know now. For me, for Camelot. For the Kingdom you help me build...

- You'd have done it without me.

- Maybe. I want to say... something I'd never said to you before. He said turning his head looking at me. THANK YOU! Arthur added patting my head...

- Arthur! No... Arhur. Come on! I tried to move him

- O drakon! E male so ftengometta tesd'hup'anankes!

I summoned my dragon hoping that he will help me save the King's life.

- Kilgharrah. I would not have summoned you, if there was any other choice. I have one last favor to ask.

- Merlin. There is nothing you can do.

-  I've failed?

- No, young warlock, for all that you have dreamt of building, has come to pass. said the dragon

-  I can't lose him! He's my friend!

- Though no man, no matter how great, can know his destiny, some lives have been foretold, Merlin...Arthur is not just a King-he is the Once and Future King. Take heart, for when Albion's need is greatest, Arthur will rise again. It has been a privilege to have known you, young warlock-the story we have been a part of will live long in the minds of men.

I woke up all sweaty and realised that I was crying in my sleep. But why am I crying? I have him back now, well sort of. Maybe it's because I saw that woman, Amber...

- Can I come in? i heard Olivia's voice behind the door.

- Of course, sweetie. What's wrong? I asked her

- I had this dream. Oh, daddy I had no idea. She said hugging me.

- What? I asked confused.

- I knew that you suffered when you lost Arthur all those years ago, but I never felt it like I did now. I-I saw in my dreams how you tried to save him and even what Kilgharrah told you.

- Oh, Livy. I am so sorry that I had to put you throught this.

- It's ok, daddy. Can you please tell me what happened after, maybe it will help both of us to calm down. I know that you've been having the same dream. My sweet daughter said

- In that moment I said goodbye to a very good friend, Kilgharrah and I realised with much pain in my heart that I had to let Arthur go. He's going to come back. I said then to my self. At that moment I never tought I could ever feel greater pain than I felt when he died. That day all those years ago, broke my heart in so many pieces and in so many ways. I never felt this pain until I lost your mother. I said and she just hold my hand.
