They sat on the wall side by side, looking at the training field. Elyan was bickering with Leon.

"It's because Kilgharrah's and mine connection to each other. I'm more magical creature than normal human." Merlin tried to explain. It was hard, because Arthur didn't knew pretty much anything real at magic. And Merlin didn't like to yell aloud how powerful he truly was.

"We make our last effort those three days when Lancelot and Gwaine waited. It was cruel, but I though that I couldn't offer meaningless hope to them. Our last hope to survive was that spell."

"And it worked." Arthur said quietly. He couldn't really understand even if he tried really hard. But he understands that the spell was some kind of ultimate healing spell and that's it.

"But I almost lost myself. When Lancelot came to the lake, he awaked my memory. And then I felt Morgause's presence. Then I was able to bring myself back and raise Kilgharrah with me."

"Because your bond each other."

"Yes."

"That's it?"

"If I but it in simple way, yes."

They looked how Lancelot won and helped Gwaine up and how they laughed.

"Why you didn't kill Morgause?"

"I... I come back alive Arthur. I really not wanted to kill anyone. I never want to kill anyone if I can avoid it. But back then, it was important to me that I avoid killing anyone."

"What if she hasn't retreated?"

Merlin shook his head. "Then I would have killed her."

"So simple?"

"So simple."

They watched how Percival fight one against two. Percival was winning of course.

"You are terrified person Merlin. And you are absolutely idiot, you know that." Arthur wrapped his hands around his neck and ruffled Merlin's hair.

"Never, never again Merlin. You promise me that you never do anything like that."

"Do what?" Merlin tried to escape.

"Die."

"We all die someday Arthur. Let me go!"

"Someday, but next time, without secrets. Promise?"

"I promise, I promise. Just let me go I will hex you..."

"You dareā€¦"

Their bickering reached through the training field and everyone looked up the wall.

People smiled.

Everything was now like it should be.
