I had a little break from school and I was feeling particularly inspired, so I managed to write one of the stories I was planning.
This one-shot is an AU to 4x06. The mercenaries don't find Merlin and Arthur, and they're not separated by the rock fall. But Morgana doesn't capture Merlin and doesn't heal his wound.
Rated T for character deaths. Reveal!fic. No slash. Some Arthur/Gwen and Merlin/Freya. Mentions of Gilli/Sefa (blame Adelina Le Morte March for this new ship!)
Thanks to my beta Lolaangelbunn. She's amazing.
Thanks to AlxM for her support, too. She helped me a lot!
Thanks to Turnabout Writer for being always there for me when I need her. That girl is fantastic.
DISCLAIMER: Merlin belongs to BBC Network. I only own my ideas and my stupid brain.
I hope you'll like it!
"A night's rest and you'll be polishing my armor. They could definitely do with a scrub," Arthur joked, panting from the fatigue of having to support a half-limp and injured Merlin.
He eased Merlin down against a fallen log and took off his glove to check Merlin's wound. The young servant looked at his chest and up at Arthur, his eyes asking a silent question to which he already knew the answer.
Arthur looked up at the sky, trying to hide his wet eyes. The left half of Merlin's chest was covered in a big purple bruise, with five puncture wounds in the center, blood oozing out slowly, but constantly. "I've seen worse. I've definitely seen worse."
It wasn't a lie. Merlin's wound wasn't necessarily fatal, but it could be if not treated soon.
"On a dead man?" the warlock joked. After many years of being the physician's ward, he had seen a fair amount of wounds, and he understood the severity of his condition.
Arthur carefully covered the wound. "You're not going to die, Merlin. Don't be such a coward."
The real danger wasn't the blood loss, and it wouldn't be for some time, but the king feared that the wound might get infected if kept without treatment. And he knew that Merlin had some bruised ribs-maybe broken ones, too.
And that wasn't good.
That wasn't good at all.
Merlin wasn't stupid. He understood his master's fear, for he had felt the same weight on his stomach every time the king got hurt. He tried with all his might to cover the pain he was feeling with their usual banter.
"If I do die, will you call me a hero?"
How could Arthur admit that he thought of his manservant as a hero already?
The young man scowled. "But whilst I'm still alive, I'm a coward?"
Arthur hid the fear he was feeling under his mockingly serious tone. "That's the way these things work, I'm afraid. You get the glory when you're not around to appreciate it."
Merlin feigned annoyance, casting a sideways glance to the blonde knight. "Well... Unless you're the king..."
"Come on, it's got to have some advantages," Arthur replied, trying not to roll his eyes at his servant's antics.
"You have a very good servant," the warlock joked, almost laughing. But his smile fell when the movement caused his wound to throb painfully, and he tried to calm down his racing heart by inhaling and exhaling slowly.
His movements didn't pass unnoticed by the king, who sobered quickly. "You're right, I do. A servant who's extremely brave. And incredibly loyal, to be honest. Not at all cowardly," he said, diverting his eyes soon after.
They shared a look that seemed to communicate everything they couldn't say. Merlin knew how hard it must have been for Arthur to open his heart, but he also understood that the king didn't regret doing it.
"Thank you for saving my life," he said quickly, trying to interrupt the tension.
The blonde swallowed. "You'd do the same for me", he said. "Come on, we need to rest. We have to leave for Camelot at first dawn."
Arthur woke up to the sound of birds chirping and to the light of the dawning sun. He looked over at Merlin, still lying on the ground in pain. He took a moment to listen to any eventual sign of bandits in their surroundings, and once sure that the way was clear, he got up. He helped Merlin on his feet, draping the servant's right arm over his shoulders to support his weight.
"Come on. We need to keep going."
They walked for what seemed like years, when Arthur heard a twig snapping and ducked behind a bush, covering Merlin's mouth with his hand, while the other appendage flew to his sword's hilt. The sound of heavy footsteps neared and they both stiffened in tension.
The mercenaries were still searching for them, most likely obeying to Morgana's orders. One of the burly men stabbed his sword in the bush where Arthur and Merlin were hiding. It scraped the king's arm, but they managed to stay silent and the mercenaries, disappointed, went away to continue their research.
Arthur waited until the only noise heard was his and Merlin's heavy breathing, and he relaxed, removing his hand from Merlin's mouth.
The servant looked at his master's arm, where a tiny patch of blood was visible. "Are you alright?"
The king scoffed. "It's just a scratch."
Yeah, leave it to Merlin to be concerned about someone else when he himself was severely injured. "Can you walk?"
Merlin shifted, hissing when the movement jostled his wound. "Yeah, I think so. But you'll have to help me."
The king got up, gently helping the servant on his feet. "You do realize that I'm the king and that I shouldn't have to help you, don't you?"
Merlin grinned. "If you want to leave me here, no one's stopping you. Just remember that my ghost will come back to haunt you until the end of your days," he joked, leaning on his master's shoulder.
"Well, we better arrive in Camelot soon, then. Wouldn't want an idiot's ghost to annoy my people to death," the king said, shifting to better hold the young man, and beginning to walk.
Merlin let out an overly dramatic sigh, shaking his head in mock sadness. "I was sure you were fond of my lovely chatter."
"I'm fond of your 'lovely' chatter as I'm fond of a stomach bug," Arthur replied, the angles of his mouth twitching, trying not to laugh.
Merlin smirked. "Oh, you really must love stomach bugs, then."
The king rolled his eyes. "You're delusional, Merlin. As your master, I order you to..."
"...Shut up?" the warlock continued, grinning.
Arthur had a smug smile, but his eyes were far away. "See? You're learning."
It had been so easy to fall into their old banter, that he had almost forgotten his friend's condition. He just hoped they would make it to Camelot in time.
They had been walking for hours without stopping, when Merlin fell. Arthur would have laughed, if it wasn't that the servant hadn't tripped. His legs couldn't handle his weight anymore. The warlock was weakening fast, and they both knew it.
"Should we stop, Merlin? Are you tired?"
Merlin raised himself unsteadily on his feet, shaking his head. "Not here. There's a place, not far away, where we can rest. There's a lake and we can refresh ourselves, it's safe and it will keep us hidden."
Arthur nodded and, following his manservant's indications, he found himself in a big clearing with a beautiful lake in the the middle. The tall mountains in the background framed the crystal clear water, giving a sacred air to the place.
His reverie was interrupted by Merlin's weak but slightly perky voice. "You should close your mouth, sire. You'll catch flies."
"How did you know this place?" the king asked, arranging Merlin against a tree in the most comfortable way possible.
"It was a very important place to someone I once knew. It's stunning, isn't it?" the warlock answered with a reminiscent smile and faraway eyes.
"Yeah," the blonde murmured, replenishing his almost empty water flask. He took a handful of water in his hands and splashed it on his face, trying to gather his thoughts.
Just how many things did he not know about his servant?
About his friend?
It was useless not to admit their friendship now, even to himself. But how could a friendship as strong as theirs be based on so many secrets? He had always known that Merlin was hiding something, since the first time they had met. He had just taken for granted that one day his young servant would open up to him. He had been wrong, and now it could be too late.
He removed his armor to be more at ease, and sat down near Merlin, still musing. He glanced at his friend, who had his eyes closed and was panting slightly. He was pale and shivering, and Arthur hadn't missed the increasing heat of his skin or the rattling sound of his breathing. He was ill, probably due to an infection. The king removed his cloak and covered the trembling man with it. Merlin opened his eyes, startled, and looked at him with questioning eyes, glassy with fever.
"There's something about you, Merlin. I just can't quite put my finger on it," he said. How many times had he said that?
"You never fathomed me out?" the warlock replied tentatively.
"No. There's something more. What are you hiding, Merlin?" the king asked, more to himself than anyone else.
He didn't expect an answer. Seriously, he didn't. That's why he was so surprised when Merlin, more focused now and with an air of determination around him, raised his head and locked eyes with him, the calm blue of the sky meeting the tempestuous one of the sea. "Do you really want to know that, Arthur Pendragon?"
The seriousness of the question scared him. But he had to take advantage of the moment, or he might never have the chance to know this strange man's secret. He nodded slowly, making his decision known.
Merlin lowered his gaze and sighed, resigned. He took a heavy breath and met the king's eyes again.
"Do you ever wonder about what would have happened had you done something differently in your past? I mean... Would your life be better or worse than how it's now?", he began. "Every time I ask myself that question, I always end up with the same answer: it's no use, those things have already happened. But sometimes, at night, when I can't sleep, I find myself thinking about my wrong choices and where they led me."
He sighed again. "What I... What I want to say is... It's hard. All my life, I've had to hide my true self. I've been treated as an unworthy, incapable and mindless fool. I've had to live between people who would call themselves my friends and yet, if they knew what I was hiding, they could choose to betray me at any moment. I don't easily give myself away, or give someone my complete trust. And then there are those who I trust with my life, and yet they don't know my secret. You are one of them, Arthur."
The king shook his head. "I'm not following you. What is this all about, Merlin?"
The warlock diverted his eyes. "I want to know if I can trust you with my secret. It's not that I'm scared of what might happen to me. I'm afraid of what you would think of me."
"Nothing could change the opinion I have of you, Merlin. You're the bravest man I've met in my whole life," Arthur replied, his heart holding no doubts.
"And that's where you're wrong, Arthur. I'm nothing but a coward. Always hiding behind the mask of someone who isn't me. Right now I want you to think about me not as a servant, not as a friend, not as a coward. I want you to see me as what I am. I'm just a man who's scared of losing everything just because of who he truly is. I want you to see me as who I really am," Merlin said. He looked at the sky closing his eyes.
"Arthur... I am a sorcerer," he finished, opening his golden eyes and creating a tiny flame in his hand. "I have magic."
The king gasped, backing away. He stared at the newly-discovered warlock, studying him. The young man was playing with fire, both literally and metaphorically.
"Why?" he asked, his voice breaking.
The servant locked eyes with him, gold turning back into blue, his hand closing itself in a fist.
"I was born like this, Arthur. Magic is part of me, as I'm a part of magic. I haven't chosen to be like this, I'm not that stupid. Who would ever want to be a sorcerer in a place where magic is outlawed? I always thought that my abilities were a curse, but now I know that they're a gift. I've been gifted with something wonderful, a power I can't even begin to understand. I can create and destroy things as I wish. I've been given a choice, and I've chosen to use my gifts for good, to protect what I hold dear. I chose to protect Camelot, my home, and my king. You, Arthur. You're the reason why I haven't left Camelot," Merlin explained, his expression showing the utmost seriousness.
Arthur was confused, shocked, but not angry or scared. This man was still Merlin, after all. "Me? Why me?"
The warlock chuckled and then winced.
"Destiny," he answered simply.
"Destiny? So if Camelot fell, it wouldn't mean anything to you?" Arthur asked, frowning.
Merlin shook his head, a soft smile forming on his lips. "I meant that it started with destiny and prophecies. And see where it's brought me. See where it's brought us. Camelot has become my home, where I have a family and friends. I've never been as happy as I am since I live in Camelot."
"I... I understand. You said you were... protecting Camelot. Protecting me. How is that?" the blonde inquired, still keeping his distance, but letting himself relax slightly.
Merlin tilted his head to the side and grinned, before launching himself in a tale of destinies and prophecies, warlocks and witches, kings and queens, dragons and wyverns, joy and sorrow, smiles and tears.
The king listened carefully, his mind overflowing with informations and his heart throbbing for the man in front of him, who had vowed his whole life to help him to become the long prophesied king of Albion. How could he get angry? Merlin was half-dead, leaning heavily on a tree, and still he obeyed his orders of telling him everything.
At the end of the longest story he had ever heard, Arthur closed the gap between him and the man that now, more than ever, was his brother, enveloping him in a hug. "I'm sorry, Merlin. For everything I've said, everything I've done. I hope you'll forgive me, one day."
Merlin freed himself gently. "There's nothing to forgive. A wise friend of mine once told me that 'a half cannot truly hate what makes it whole'. I have never heard truer words," the warlock said chuckling, but stopped when he felt his chest throb.
"I guess this friend of yours was right. I wish to thank you for everything you've done for me and for Camelot. For the kingdom you helped me build," the king continued, not missing his friend's pained expression.
"You could have done without me," the servant joked, fighting to keep his eyes open.
Arthur put a hand on Merlin's chest, feeling his heart beating unevenly under his fingers, fluttering like the wings of a newborn bird. "Maybe... But I'm glad that you helped me. I'm glad that I got to know you."
Merlin leaned on Arthur, his head falling on the king's shoulder while his eyes slipped close. "I'm glad, too. Thank you."
The king glanced down at his friend's ashen face, while silent tears streamed down his face. He tried to keep Merlin awake. "Why did you chose this place?"
"I told you. This place was dear to someone I loved," the servant answered.
"Who?" the king asked, even if he already had an idea, after hearing the warlock's story.
"Freya. She's waiting for me, in Avalon. I can finally be with her," Merlin said softly, a dreamy smile on his bloodless face.
"You're... You're not going to die, Merlin. I forbid it," Arthur ordered, his voice shaking, betraying him.
"I'm sorry, Arthur. I never do as I'm told," the servant replied, grinning weakly. He opened his eyes, blinking tiredly, and murmured something.
Arthur watched in awe as his friend's eyes flashed gold and a familiar-looking ball of light appeared in front of them, floating just above the lake's waters.
"Don't I know it?" he said, voice thick with tears.
Merlin smiled, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly. His chest stilled, and his slight frame relaxed against the warm body of his king.
The blue light faded and Arthur's breath hitched as he took in what just happened: Merlin was gone. Forever.
He embraced his young friend's body and sobbed quietly, stroking the dark mop of hair in a brotherly fashion. He stayed like that for what felt like centuries, before getting up and wiping away his tears. He looked at Merlin's face: he seemed so young. He reminded him of a sleeping child.
The king gathered his servant in his arms and walked towards the lake, placing the young man in a boat he found near the shore. Merlin was still covered in the king's red cloak. Arthur adjusted the body in a more comfortable position, even if Merlin couldn't feel it.
He placed a hand on his friend's forehead and sobbed, looking up at the sky.
He hadn't noticed that the night had fallen. It wasn't dark, though, for the sun was beginning to dawn. He stepped back, and he was about to push the boat towards the center of the lake when an unfamiliar hand placed itself on his shoulder. He glanced at the new arrival, startled, and was surprised when he met the warm brown eyes of a beautiful young woman dressed in white.
She looked down at Merlin, a loving yet sad smile finding its way to her face.
"You'd think he was sleeping, seeing him like this. I haven't seen him so peaceful in a long time," she said, caressing the warlock's cheek tenderly.
Arthur swallowed the lump in his throat. "You'll take care of him, won't you?"
The Lady of the Lake looked up at him again and smiled. "Of course I will. I promised him one day I'd repay him. He saved me, making me feel loved for the first time in years. Now it's my turn to take care of him."
He gave her a watery smile. "I know he'll be in good hands."
She nodded and turned away, but Arthur stopped her, taking grasp her arm. "I'm sorry, Freya. I... I killed you, I'm sorry."
The young woman smiled and shook her head. "You have nothing to be sorry for, my king. It is I who should be sorry: I caused the death of many people. You just freed me of my curse. Thank you."
He kissed her hand and bowed. She curtsied in return and turned away. With a flash of her eyes, Merlin's boat was pushed gently towards the center of the lake. Just as the sun was rising above the mountains, she followed her lover.
Arthur had to protect his eyes from the blinding light of the rising sun, and when he was able to open them again, all he could see was the beautiful landscape of a lake surrounded by tall mountains. He smiled and exited the waters, making his way to Camelot.
To his home.
It had taken less than five hours for him to reach Camelot. The king was met by the cheers of his people and the concerned glances of his guards. He ignored them, and walked straight towards the two figures waiting for him in front of the castle's doors.
Gaius knew, as soon as he saw him, that his beloved ward, his son, wasn't anymore in the world of the living. He bowed quickly and walked as fast as he could towards his chambers, to grieve in solitude.
Guinevere was a completely different matter. She understood that something bad had happened, what with the king's red and puffy eyes and the physician's quick retreat. She probably knew even what had happened, but she just didn't want to acknowledge it.
He took her hands in his and met her scared eyes. "Guinevere... I'm sorry. I failed you. I failed him. Merlin's gone."
He saw tears gather in her beautiful eyes and he felt her hands leave his as they came up to cover her mouth, trying to stifle away the sobs that wracked her petite frame. She shook her head in denial, her eyes wide. "No... Not him. Why him?"
And he had to be the strong one, even if he felt as strong as a withering leaf. He hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry," he whispered, trying to hide his tears into her hair.
They didn't care if people were staring and pointing at them. They didn't care about anything. It was just them and their grief. Nothing else existed.
Arthur had climbed slowly the stairs that led to his chambers. He had thrown himself on the bed after getting rid of his armor and he had fallen asleep with tear-stained cheeks soon after.
He woke up at the voice of his new servant, George, who was announcing him his breakfast's arrival. For a moment there, Arthur had thought that those sticking-out ears and that red neckerchief were indicators of his friend's presence and wellness. His hope had been short-lived, though, because Merlin would have never made a joke about brass.
Arthur reached the council chambers where he had planned a meeting with the original Round Table, and sat down, trying not to look at the vacant seat near him.
They were all staring at him. Gwaine was probably hopelessly drunk, but his eyes held a certain angered glint that didn't please the king. At all.
He inhaled slowly. "As most of you already know, a few days ago our secret patrol was surprised by Morgana's mercenaries. We managed to hold them off, but we suffered some casualties," he began.
"And today I'm here to honor the life of the man who has lived and died for Camelot with a constant smile in his face. In his honor, I want to repeal the ban on magic. I want magic to be free as it was before the Great Purge."
Every occupant of the room gasped in surprise. The king raised his hand, not wanting to be interrupted.
"I've always been led to believe that magic was evil and dangerous, but I was wrong. There is nothing in this world that is inherently good or evil, aside from the very nature of men. And magic is not different: it's just a tool in the hands of men, and it's their choice if they want to use it for good or not. Today, I want to announce that every magic user will not have to be afraid of anything, as they will be considered equals to everyone else. I have gathered this meeting to know your opinions, but by no means I will change my choice. Tell me, what do you think?"
Everyone sat stunned for a couple of minutes, but then Gaius stood up. "Sire, I believe yours to be a wise choice. I have lived in a time when magic was considered as a gift, and I myself used to practice it. The persecution against the magical community has led to suffering and losses on both parts."
He paused, his gaze intense. "Arthur, I'm proud of calling you my king. I'm sure that Merlin would be, too," he said, bowing, with a soft smile on his face.
Gwen was next, and took the king's hand in hers while speaking. "I've seen the evils of magic many times already. I grew up fearing it, and I continue to fear it now. But I know that if someone has a good heart, no matter what abilities they have, they would do no harm. I believe in you, Arthur. If you think that repealing the ban won't harm us or Camelot, I trust your judgement."
One by one, they all stood up.
Elyan said that he trusted his king's and future queen's judgement, not to mention that they were his friend and sister and he would have followed them to the gates of hell itself.
Percival explained that, having lived near a Druid's camp, he had grown to admire magic and to accept it.
Leon, who grew up in Camelot, said that he always feared magic, but after being healed by the Druids with the Cup of Life, he had begun to have doubts.
Gwaine, who no longer seemed to be on the verge of killing him, smiled slightly and explained that, having travelled a lot, he had seen both the goods and evils of magic and considered it no more than a tool.
Arthur smiled, his heart warming at their words. They all agreed with him and had sworn their loyalty to him. And while he tightened his grip on Guinevere's hand, his smile got wider, knowing that a certain friend of his would be overjoyed could he be there.
After the repeal of the ban on magic, Arthur had been busier than ever. He had to send messages to his allies and he had to explain to the rest of his people his motives, and he hadn't had the chance to stop for a minute.
That was why, after an overtiring week of work, he was alone near the balcony of the tallest tower in Camelot, admiring his kingdom's beauty. The calm of the moment was interrupted by a strong hand on his shoulder. He had to stop himself from jumping, turning to face the new arrival. "Gwaine," he greeted.
The tavern-loving knight grinned. "Hello, princess. Enjoining the view, are we?"
He turned again, smiling. "Camelot is in its greatest days."
"Yeah, it is. And that is thanks to you and Merlin. You know, he would be proud of you," he said, seriously, but then a grin found its way on his face. "And then you'd act like the princess you are and he'd call you 'a prat'," he joked, laughing. But he sobered quickly. "You know what? I miss him. Sometimes I see something he would have found funny, and when I think about telling him, I remember he no longer is with us," he continued, sighing. "And I know you miss him, too. You may act as strong as you like, but I know you're the one who misses him the most. Am I wrong?"
Arthur nodded, his eyes far away. "No, you're right. I do miss him. Every day I wake up, waiting to hear the noise of someone tripping over their own feet; waiting to be blinded by the sudden light coming from the window; waiting to hear someone shouting 'rise and shine!' or 'let's have you lazy daisy!'. And every day, I have to bear with the disappointment of not seeing him shuffling around in my chambers. It's really hard. But then I think that he's fine, that he's happy, that he's been reunited with everyone he loved, and I can't help but feel selfish. And then I smile, thinking that, as you said, he'd have called me 'a prat' could he hear me."
He sighed, shaking his head. "It's been just a week. A week, and the world already seems to have lost all its colors. Will this... weight at the pit of my stomach ever go away?"
"That's called grief, princess," Gwaine joked, as if he was explaining something to a child.
Arthur scowled, throwing his hands in the air. "Yes, thank you, Gwaine," he said, shaking his head. "I meant... After my father's death I was broken and depressed, but this is different. Gaius says it's because we're 'two sides of the same coin', because our souls are bound. Is that so? Or am I just grieving for the friend I lost, the constant companion of my happiest days?"
Gwaine thought about it for a moment, and then he gripped the king's shoulder.
"I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff. That's why the pain never goes away, because friendship is the strongest bond. Stronger than the one you have with your family, because you have the chance to choose your friends. Stronger than love, because a lover may betray you, while a friend will always stay by your side. The pain will never go away, but you'll learn to live with it," he explained. They stayed there, watching Camelot,until Gwaine turned back. "C'mon, princess. We have some knights to train. Wouldn't want you to get fatter than you already are."
Arthur laughed, chasing after his friend. "I'm not fat!"
A year had passed, and it seemed that Camelot really was in its happiest days.
Morgana had disappeared short after the return of magic back to Camelot. Someone said she was trying to bring the Isle of the Blessed back to its old greatness. And someone said that the witch, seeing the people's happiness, had given up on 'her rightful place on the throne'. And someone said she had died saving a child from a Questing Beast. But those were just rumors. Camelot didn't hear of the last High Priestess ever again.
Arthur had appointed as the Court Sorcerer a young man, whose name was Gilli, an old friend of Merlin's. Someone said he was in a relationship with the queen's maidservant, Sefa. But those were just rumors.
Agravaine had escaped, and the king hadn't bothered with following his treacherous uncle.
Gaius had contacted the Great Dragon, Kilgharrah, and the young one, Aithusa, and he had referred that the creatures had pledged their loyalty to Camelot and to its king.
Five months after Morgana's disappearance, and almost six months after the lifting of the ban on magic, the great King Arthur had married the Lady Guinevere, a beautiful and clever young woman who used to be a lowly servant. Not soon after, the kingdom was blessed with the birth of the heir to the throne, Prince Amhar, who was the joy of the two royals.
The news of a newborn dragon had reached Camelot, and Arthur had been overjoyed at seeing the little and clumsy blue creature learning to fly and to breathe fire. The king himself had acted as a catalyst for the dragon to be born, being the other side of the late dragonlord's soul. Someone said that the prince, Amhar, had inherited his father's friend's powers as a dragonlord. But those, too, were just rumors.
Many years had passed since the Great Purge, and now, sorcerers and Druids alike lived in harmony with peasants and nobles. Albion was reunited, and someone called it the 'United Kingdoms'. The long-prophesied Golden Age had become reality, thanks to the incessant work of a young clumsy warlock and his king.
The latter of whom, the great king Arthur, was now lying in his bed, in his late fifties, with a soft smile on his face. Queen Guinevere was holding his right hand, sobbing her heart out. Alongside her was the Crown Prince, who was crying silent tears. Arthur's faithful knights were standing at the foot of his bed, their eyes wet and their expression a mix of respect and sorrow.
The new physician, a young woman he had appointed after Gaius' death, had diagnosed him with pneumonia, and his old body hadn't had the strength to fight it.
He was dying, and they all knew it. But he wasn't sad, because he knew he had accomplished everything he had to, and that his wife and his son would reign over Camelot with wisdom and kindness.
He smiled at all of them for the last time. His eyes grew heavy and slipped close, while his rattling breaths stopped.
His vision was blinded by a bright light, and he found himself in a huge clearing, surrounded by trees. He raised a hand to his face, not finding the wrinkles signaling his old age, but smooth skin. He felt a renewed strength he hadn't felt in ages and smiled at himself.
A voice startled him. "Are you going to stand there, smiling like an idiot to God knows what, for a long time?"
Arthur's head whipped up at the familiar tone, and his gaze was met by the smiling face of his friend. Merlin was dressed with dark blue pants, a white shirt and a red neckerchief (the last particular made him smile). The Lady of the Lake, Freya, was standing on his right side, holding his hand. And behind them were Gaius and Alice, Balinor and Hunith, Will, Ygraine and... was that his father? Uther was smiling, looking happier than ever. And on Merlin's left side was Morgana. The old Morgana, the one he had grown up with. His sister, who was smiling at him.
They were all waiting for him, and Merlin extended his free hand. Arthur took it with tears in his eyes, and hugged his friend tightly. Merlin returned the embrace with the same eagerness, laughing. They released each other, standing the one in front of the other.
"So this is the end, then?" Arthur asked, giving the warlock a watery smile.
Merlin shook his head. "No, you prat," he said fondly, turning away and motioning for him to follow. He turned his head towards him, his grin widening.
"This is just the beginning."
"There is no real ending. It's just the place where you stop the story."

New York Hotels to Issue "Panic Buttons" to Some Workers
Perhaps there might be some positive outcomes from the Dominique Strauss-Kahn fisaco after all. In a direct response to the case, the newest version of the New York Hotel Trades Council union workers' contract calls for some employees to be equipped with "devices to be carried on their persons at work that they can quickly and easily activate to effectively summon prompt assistance to their location." In other words, panic buttons that function exactly like the ones that elderly folks sometimes wear in case they fall down and can't get up again.
But! Joking aside, such "panic button" devices like this could help maids and bellhops avoid a situation similar to the one that maid Nafissatou Diallo said she found herself in with Strauss-Kahn last summer. Diallo accused Strauss-Kahn of attacking her in his hotel room when she arrived to clean it.
Although prosecutors eventually decided that Diallo's claims were not credible, the incident shed enough light on the risks of maid work that the hotels decided to do something about it. Many hotel workers are often by themselves for long shifts of time, and measures like this are one way to ensure their safety.
The seven-year contract also calls for a 29 percent incremental increase in wages, benefits guarantees, and a better pension plan. Union members are expected to ratify the contract next week.

Worringly, poor advice was one of the top reasons given by people to explain why they made mistakes when taking out financial products such as mortgages, pensions and investments.
But the figure is a savage indictment of the financial services industry as a whole, which has been dogged by a series of mis-selling scandals over the past few years.
Those aged between 35 and 44 years were the most dissatisfied with their financial decisions, with 44% saying they were misled by providers or advisers or blaming poor advice for making a mistake.
Paul Davies of market research analysts Mintel, which carried out the research, believes the widespread dissatisfaction revealed is due in part to the number of people who have been victims of pensions and endowment mis-selling.
'In many ways such a high response rate is perhaps not too surprising, given the spate of high-profile mis-selling scandals that have dogged the financial services industry in recent years.
'These have all severely tarnished the industry's image and left millions of customers dissatisfied with the perfomance of their products,' he said.
Despite many people admitting to having regrets about products or services bought at some point in the past, more than 70% were confident they now held the right products for their needs.
But it's not all good news. Around 9% of people said they thought they held the wrong products or services for their needs, while nearly 20% did not know whether or not they were suitable.
And, as Davies points out, about 13m consumers in the UK either don't know whether their financial requirements are being met or are unsure that they are adequate.
This will alarm politicians, who are anxious to ensure that people make enough provision for their old age.
But the high number of people who don't know whether their savings are going to be enough is a reflection of how difficult it is to understand products.
Mintel found that nearly three-quarters of people said they did not know how complex financial products such as pensions and investments worked. Worryingly, 75% said they had gained any knowledge they had of financial matters through trial and error.
The report highlights the need for a greater level of financial education in the UK. This is backed up by consumers, with 94% of people supporting children being taught basic financial skills at school. Top of the academic list would be lessons on how to avoid debt, followed by managing household accounts and the best ways of saving.Reuse content

Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi is commenting on the controversy surrounding the resignation of former health C-E-O Vicki Kaminski.
Nenshi claims it may have to do with the health authority's plan to centralize the 9-1-1 call centre for paramedics.
He says Kaminski told him the plan was going ahead despite his concerns about it leading to increased response times, and when he brought up the issue with Health Minister Sarah Hoffman, she put a stop to the plan.
In Kaminiski's resignation letter, which just came to light today, she claims she left her job due to political interference.
Here is Nenshi's full written response to the issue..
In a story published by the CBC today, former Alberta Health Services chief executive Vickie Kaminski alleges that she resigned due to undue political interference related to a plan that would ultimately reduce the effectiveness of EMS dispatch for Calgarians.
As I have expressed many times before, a plan to split up Calgary's 911 call centre to have a separate EMS call centre is a bad idea that would lead to increased response times and inefficient use of tax dollars. AHS's proposal would require citizens-during an emergency call-to provide information about the emergency to The City's 911 operators (for first response dispatch by the Calgary Fire Department) and then be transferred to an AHS call centre to repeat the same information to an AHS operator. All our analysis at The City of Calgary indicates that this would put our citizens at risk. The City has had an offer on the table with both the previous and current provincial governments for The City to continue to provide integrated EMS dispatch to AHS for the Calgary region.
I raised this issue with successive health ministers including former Health Minister Stephen Mandel who advised me that he was putting the entire project on hold due to his concern about the lack of evidence supporting AHS' position. The City of Calgary believed that this issue had been solved. Immediately after the election, I wrote to Health Minister Sarah Hoffman stating our understanding of the situation. AHS then claimed they had no evidence of Minister Mandel's earlier position, despite his having done media interviews on the issue.
Minister Hoffman then wrote me saying she had instructed Ms. Kaminski and the Deputy Minister to meet with me to address my concerns. Instead, Ms. Kaminski called me to inform me that AHS was going ahead with the transfer and this was not up for debate, even though they had not addressed our concerns and despite our previous communication with Minister Mandel.
Given Ms. Kaminski's refusal to listen to our legitimate concerns, I raised these issues directly with the Minister, who took immediate action. Minister Hoffman, to her great credit, put the transfer on hold and has repeatedly promised that she would get answers to The City's questions about the 911 service change-questions which AHS had refused to answer over a period of many years. Minister Hoffman did the right thing for Calgarians and she should be applauded for her actions.
As for Ms. Kaminski, her admission in her letter of resignation that she was planning on delaying an announcement until after the provincial election and then betraying Calgarians by ramming it through is nothing short of shocking.
This is not how AHS should be run and not what the citizens who pay the bills expect from our public servants. Minister Hoffman's putting a stop to these games is not "political interference," it's proper governance of Alberta's largest expense.
We look forward to ending this misbegotten experiment with 911 once and for all and working with the new AHS board and management to ensure the best possible health care for Albertans.

Sunderland winger Adam Johnson has admitted that he intends to capitalise on Theo Walcott's recent knee injury by replacing the Arsenal forward in the England World Cup squad.
Walcott is expected to miss out on a second successive World Cup after suffering knee ligament damage in Arsenal's recent FA cup win over Tottenham.
And Johnson - who has been capped 11 times by England - is hoping to profit from the Arsenal man's harsh luck.
Speaking after scoring a hat-trick in his side's 4 – 1 victory over Fulham, the former Manchester City man said: "I was disappointed for Theo, he's a good friend of mine. I came a long way in the England ranks with him, I was gutted for him when I found out he was going to miss the World Cup.
"But these things happen in football and one man's downfall is another man's gain. So if I can be the person that's gaining then I'll be delighted."
He added: "I want to get back to being a part of the squad, if I can keep playing well you never know about the World Cup."

CardFortune's Manifesto - Chapter 1 - The TAROT
The CardFortune's idea of Tarot has nothing
to do with wild predictions or augury or
fortune telling but more like used
as a divination tool to tap in
your own intuition to
indicate what's going on
in the present which predicts
the future events.
It is a method of understanding
the current rhythms of one's life
and working with them rather
than against them.
These problems can be worked out
or avoided.
The reading of the cards is used
to analyze a given situation
in a person's life and by
diagnosing them and examining the past;
you can empower your life which
has created the present.
Remembering the archetypical images
in your head (as the psychologist
Carl Jung has suggested), and the facts
and knowledge that
they represent; can be applied
to your current situation and
make better choices based upon it.
This is a way to gain access into your unconscious which has stored the images of the Tarot.
By understanding what these cards stand for and being able through your own insight to correlate them to what is happening currently in your life, is the key to how your specific phase should be confronted.
Carl Jung also called this synchronicity; the coincidence of events that appear to be meaningful related but cannot be explained by accepted mechanism of cause and effect.
Since the cards symbolize one's life phases and circumstances through life, it is also logical that everyone will pass through them at some point and time.
The technique here is to consider all of life's problems junctures with an approach of an instinctive perception that the card's symbolism allow for you to interpret.
There are times in life for beginnings and ends, times for departures and arrivals, times for choosing and contemplating, and if you can interpret the energies that come along with it, then you are more likely to succeed.
Here a famous quote by Einstein comes into mind, "Everything is energy and that's all there is to it.
Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality.
It can be no other way." It has all to do with trying to find the most comfortable seat of existence as we are all looking for.
is here to assist you by providing the needed guidance.
Soon we will launch the automated Tarot Readings page and our own complete "Mystic Potential Energy" Tarot Deck...by a famous French artist.

Bach-Loving Bassist Pays Tribute to Mexico, Puts Beauty Before Bush
"Nostalgia" and "De Siempre (Forever)," which follow each other midway through Charlie Haden's Land of the Sun and are among the CD's most beguiling tracks, make it easy to hear what drew Haden to the music of José Sabre Marroquin (19091995)beyond the prayer-like lyricism they have in common, their shared love of Bach. Although primarily a TV and film composer, Marroquin also wrote on commission for Henryk Szeryng, a Polish violinist and Bach specialist. Both pieces were spawned from that collaboration, and both pivot on an intricate style of counterpoint that has always been Haden's forte as a bassist. It's a little misleading to single these out, though, because everything on Haden's salute to Mexico is of a piece and hauntingeven a version of Armando Manzanero's "Yesterday I Heard the Rain" that becomes a different song spared Gene Lees's bombastically sensitive English lyrics. Joe Lovano, Miguel Zenón, and a few others solo buoyantly, but next to Haden and Marroquin, the real stars are Michael Rodriguez, whose trumpet leads sing the heart, and Gonzalo Rubalcaba, whose economical arrangements and piano interludes are the antithesis of his busy CDs as a leader. This is one to reach for after Maria Schneider's Concert in the Garden. And just in case you've been waiting for Charlie to get angry again, he and Carla Bley have recorded another Liberation Music Orchestra for release next year. Stay angry enough to vote while you're waiting.

So, the year that will forever be known as #worstyearever is over, and a lot of us are pretty happy about that. I am too, even though for me 2o16 actually wasn't half bad. I had my best ever work year, and managed to make more than ever before without having any regular clients as in previous years. I felt creatively loads more fulfilled due, in part, to the fact my aforementioned avoidance of working for regular clients. I should qualify that statement a little – all I mean is that I have been working for whoever I want on a totally freelance basis as opposed to any kind of contract work which dominated by 2015.Read More
Imposter Syndrome
I was recently on a press trip, and I was the only blogger in the group. Everyone else worked as an in-house journalist, except me. I was introduced in the same way everybody else was, by my name and who I wrote for with the exception of being called a travel blogger. And every time I heard that, my automatic reaction was to correct this and say: 'Oh, I am a proper journalist too……I have written for…….'Read More
Digital Detoxin'
I really struggled to sit down and write this post for some reason. I think it's because I don't quite know whether anyone wants to read it. But it's something I've been thinking about a lot, so it makes sense to put it down on digital paper, as it were, and tell you what I'm thinking. How often do you check your phone? I think I check mine hundreds of times a day. You probably do too, without even realising.Read More
Making Changes & Living Contentedly
Well, 2016 has been a truly bonkers hear both personally, and professionally. I got married, adopted a rescue dog, planned a refurb on our flat, changed my career and went from freelance to….well, not freelance anymore. And that's not even touching on the insane rate of celebrity deaths, British exit from the EU, Chilcot enquiry results and a whole load of governmental madness. I'm actually not even sure where that leaves me right now. I feel strange, kinda in flux. Life has changed a lot, and challenged me this year — but for the better. Working in an office wasn't a plan I thought I wanted, but I love it. And marriage? Well, that's awesome. Can't fault it, and it's not nearly the 'difficult first year' I thought it would be. Having said that, I'm only five months in!Read More
The Worst Week
Unless you've been sat under a rock, or have far worse things going on in your won country (so, that's quite a lot of the world then), you'll have heard the news that Britain have voted to leave the European Union. Yep, that happened. And you may also have heard some other things, like the fact the pound is at an all time low, the Prime Minister has resigned, and our Government is in tatters. Oh yeah, and Boris Johnson — the leader of the leave campaign, and favourite to replace David Cameron as the next PM has decided he's not keen on the task of running the country. You may also have heard that London voted in their droves to STAY in the EU, and are now begging our Mayor (formerly the position old Boris held), the very newly appointed Sadiq Khan to agree conditions whereby we remain in the EU. And that Scotland, and Northern Ireland — who both also voted to remain in the EU — are calling for referendums to decide whether they remain part of the UK, and therefore can rejoin the EU.Read More
Career Change Advice: It Can Be Done
This weeks post, on how to change your career, is brought to you by a lovely friend of mine, Ellen Lloyd. Enjoy 🙂 "Pee into the wind" Lucy and I have little in common. She is diminutive and slim (Ed: Thanks mate….but diminutive, I ain't) I am tall(ish) and have few extra cheeseburger-shaped bumps around my mid-section. She has an infectious smile and amazing laugh, whereas I came out of the womb with RBF (that's Resting Bitch Face to those not yet down with the kids). If we were famous people, Lucy would be Natalie Portman (Ed: Ellen is somewhat visually impaired….;) ) and I would be Lena Dunham (but with less aggressive feminist views and bigger boobs).Read More
Follow Your Own Path
Not a lot of people know this, but I started a blog about 8 years ago….and the again – couple of years later. Both languished and died along with the defunct blogspot platform, and the few people that knew about it have long forgotten. The reason no one knew about it? Fear. It was 100% about fear. This isn't even the first iteration of the blog. It's the THIRD. The first, was born out of necessity and something fun to do while we travelled, then the second came about as the first name didn't make sense anymore (it was a time related name). The third, is http://wanderluce.com/what-happened/" target WanderLuce When I rebranded and changed the name to WanderLuce, I asked people in the travel blogging community for guidance, and the answers were overwhelming and, quite frankly, unhelpful. Because everyone wants to sell you the 'rules' that got them to where they are. Let's face it, when we are asked a question, the advice comes from our own experiences, loaded with subjectivity. Which is fine, until you forget these nuances and take the advice blindly. This is when you start to let the noise in, instilling fear into your heart when you re trying to create something scary. The thing is though, those people with their big opinions? I shouldn't have asked them. I shouldn't have encouraged doubt and allowed space for fear to rush into the space where courage and intuition should have lived. It's not a mistake I want to make again. I http://wanderluce.com/blogger-freelancer-work-from-home write for myself, and for my readers. And rules? They don't matter. Genuinely! We all follow our own paths, and what works for one may well not work for another, so copying someone else's isn't going to work. believe me, I tried to mould myself to the many, many 'rules' of http://wanderluce.com/what-do-travel-bloggers-actually-do- travel blogging that so many of the bloggers I respected seemed to follow. Without stopping to think of all the other things they had done along the way to create their own unique identity. All of this sounds a little airy fairy, but I have been doing a LOT of http://wanderluce.com/how-to-be-happy-today-depression-mental-illness self reflection since coming home to London and these are the things that I've taken to heart and found to be comforting. It's why I have made the decision to take down all adverts on the blog, and why I only use affiliate links to…Read More
An Introduction to Psychotherapy
If you're a regular reader, you won't be uber surprised to learn that I know a thing or two about therapy, counselling, psychotherapy…whatever you wanna call it. Talking therapies are one of the best ways to help you through grief, relationship issues, mental illness and of course, self development. I studied Psychology & Counselling as a youth, and have a pretty solid degree in it too. So I know a thing or two about how to navigate your way through the therapy maze. If you've made the decision to start therapy, you are taking control of your own happiness, and peace, which can only be a good thing right? The problem I have found when people start therapy blindly, with no research and a healthy dose of confusion, is that if they have a bad experience, they decide that 'therapy's not for them'. Despite the fact that not all therapists are created equal, and not all models of therapy are right for all. So, what I want to do is share a few things to think about before you start your journey of Psychotherapy. Cheese on toast, sure, but I hope it will help you find your way through the maze to see a bit of a clearer path forward. There's also a FREE checklist for you to print off too. Different Types of Psychotherapy There are hundreds of variations of therapy, which are known as models of therapy, or frameworks or theoretical approaches…..you should get an understanding of a few main types, so that you can decide what is going to be the right road for you. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): It's likely you will have heard of this, and will also have been told that the NHS only offer this. That's not true, but it is true that CBT is a very effective model of therapy. It works by challenging identifying unhelpful thought patterns, and giving you the tools to change them. You need to out the work in too, though, and it isn't the quick fix people presume it to be. You can be in therapy for as little as 6 weeks, but realistically, if you have severe depression, CBT won't work it's magic in such a short term. Psychoanalysis (and the deeper Psychodynamic) therapy is my personal favourite form of therapy. I believe that delving into your childhood, and formative years is the key to unlocking unhappiness and…Read More
Finding Balance
I have written and re-written this post so many times. I can't seem to work out what I want to say or, more accurately, I have too much to say (often the case) and I can't seem to contain it in something I can package into a neat little SEO friendly blog post. I am not sure that it's even something anyone will find value in, or want to spend hard-won free time reading, but I wanted to write it nonetheless. I have spend 32 years of my life being a wholly unbalanced individual. By which, I mean that I haven't even sought balance in my life. I haven't tried to see the calm as something I need, or the frenetic as a complimentary feeling either. I have dieted to distraction, and eaten to excess so whilst I am lucky that I haven't noticeably ballooned and shrunk down again, the toll on my psyche hasn't gone unnoticed. At least not to me anyway. I have taken stock recently, after a fairly tumultuous year with some of the highest highs and darkest lows of my life. I thought about what I had been striving for in work, health, life…..and realised that balance is what I was craving. I love what I do, and thrive when I'm busy at work but taking on too much became counter productive so I stopped and decided to refocus on what I want to spend the biggest chunk of my time on — that's not any of my freelance work, that's on this website. But, although I do monetise my blog — I don't make my sole income from it. I also work for a few other clients too, one of them I love and feel passionate about and the rest I don't. So my focus will be shifting to those two passion projects, despite the fact I will make less money as a result. Feast to Famine Until a couple of weeks ago I was exercising daily, yet struggling to feel that elusive 'runners high' or feel enough of a difference to make it seem worthwhile. So I stopped. From feast to famine is never the answer (or vice versa) but, as I have eluded to, I'm not great at the middle ground stuff. I do everything at 100 miles an hour, then burn out and do nothing….. And my social life is no different. I am an introvert, so social…Read More
Midweek Therapy – My Favourite Podcasts
Midweek therapy….ahhh, how soothing those two little words sound. How do you unwind on your morning commute, mid morning slump or stressful Monday morning? I used to listen to music, all the time. And consume disgusting amounts of sugar, drink tea by the gallon and generally feel grumpy through bouts of stress. For the record, I still eat feck loads of sugar and drink feck loads of tea….but now, I also listen to podcasts. I hadn't listened to a podcast for yonkers, not since the days of Chris Moyles and Russell Brand on the radio. Those were the only podcasts I listened to, and even then I didn't really get it. But since going travelling, and discovering that music isn't the only way to enjoy some inner ear activity on a twelve hour bus when doing anything aside from sitting still and listening stops you from projectile vomiting, the podcast has once again re-entered my psyche. These are some of my favourite podcasts at the moment. I am so keen to hear some of your suggestions though. This American Life http://www.thisamericanlife.org/podcast I only got into This American Life after listening to Serial, as both are made by WBENZ Chicago (Chicago Public Radio) and TAL. Each episode has a different theme, with a couple of 'acts' and it is just one of the dreamiest things to listen to. Themes cover all sorts of stuff, from the 'normal' to the abstract but one of my recent faves was 'Middle School' where Ira Glass and his team explored the hell that is the American middle school (from 11yrs to 14 I think?). At approximately 1hr long, it's a decent length to get your teeth into (important) and will leave you gagging for more. Serial https://serialpodcast.org/ If you have never heard of Serial you are MISSING OUT. Sarah Koenig (from This American Life) tells the story of high school student Adnan Syed convicted in 2000 of murdering his ex-girlfriend Hai Min Lee. Week by week, Sarah and her team explore various aspects of the case and talk to Adnan (in prison). Sarah is really charismatic, and the stories compelling so I promise you that you'll be as hooked as everyone else in the World! The second season has been criticised a bit for lower ratings, however I actually liked it as much, if not more than the first. It covers the fascinating…Read More

In the vein of Fringe or The Following, this summer We Have Thoughts will be spending a lot of time over-analyzing CBS' Under The Dome. But unlike the previous two original series, this one is an (albeit loose) adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name. So while Marisa and I will be dissecting the show and its characters, we will also compare the story points and character arcs and personalities to those within the book.
Only the pilot has aired so far (episode two tonight!!), but already there are a lot of notable changes. If you're reading the book along with the show, or if you have plans to read it eventually but have yet to start, this particular vodcast discussion will not spoil you on major print plot points. However, as we continue to check in with the series over the course of the summer, we will talk much more in-depth and therefore with potential spoilers.

A Guide Book of Mercury Dimes, Standing Liberty Quarters, and Liberty Walking Half Dollars Q.
Coin collectors seeking specific guides will welcome over three hundred pages of pricing, grading directions, history and collector insights to the mercury dime, standing liberty quarter and liberty walking half dollars, which were minted between 1916 and 1947 and can be found in many old-time collections.
460 Barber, Standing Liberty, and Washington Quarters, Mixed Dates
With the demise of the last standing Liberty Tree--a massive tulip-poplar in Maryland--AMERICAN FORESTS has undertaken a new campaign based on an old idea.
The Buffalo nickel, 1913-1938; Mercury dime, 1916-1945; Standing Liberty quarter, 1916-1930; Walking Liberty half dollar, 1916-1947; and Peace dollar, 1921-1935, all belong to a unique era.
The sale contained exceptional coins from collections like the Battle Born Collection, the Hoosier Flyer Collection, the Dorchester Heights Collection, the Philip Winston Pillsbury Collection of Flying Eagle and Indian Cents, the Just Having Fun Collection of Standing Liberty Quarters, the Werner Family Collection of 1796 Coinage, the Winecrest Collection, and more.
This nicely illustrated compendium with more than 200 high resolution images covers all the Standing Liberty quarters issues from 1916 to 1930.
But certainly the highlight of this session was for lot 747, the very rare 1918-S 8 over 7 Standing Liberty Quarter, which had active interest in the room and on the phones before hammering down for $82,800.
We gave away Indian cents, Liberty & Buffalo nickels, Barber and Mercury dimes, Barber and Standing Liberty quarters, Barber and Walking Liberty halves, and Morgan & Peace dollars, along with an explanation of different coin designs.

Comment Re:Smartphones are great driving aids. . . (Score 2) 344
Regarding Texas, I have the following points:
- The law specifically mentions "attached to windshield" but not "rear view mirror." It also mentions "Obstruction." Accordingly, the law would make for an interesting case for "rear view mirror" mounted devices. Would like to check case law when I have some time.
- The way the law is stated, if "rear view mirror" mounted smartphones are "obstruction" then so is every single rear window sticker, rear view mirror charm, and dashboard bob-head. . . I want to say that ~30% of the cars I see have something like this, so perhaps this is just another dumb Texas law that is almost never enforced.
- If they are actively enforcing this for people who are using apps like Waze, then they are killing people every year by their stupidity, and I feel morally obligated to resist this out-of-date and very stupid law. I hope I do get a ticket so that I can be the first to loudly fight it.
