Arthur : Cedric's right. Arthur : I think that might have been the problem. Arthur : Looking for something? Arthur : There's more than one, Father. Arthur : This is lovely, Cedric. Cédric: Right, right. Drink up. Gaius : I know it's hard, but Camelot is in serious danger. Gaius : Where does he keep it? Gaius: His soul is. He said he would go back to the ground. He's a good servant. Merlin : That can never be. Merlin : When? Merlin : Who's he? Merlin : You think he could have succeeded? Thank you. The Great Dragon : In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom on the shoulders of a young boy. The peeper : Only the prince. This is foolish superstition, nothing more. Turn the tides, and legend has it, his spells helped to build Camelot itself. Well, I never. Where is he? You're a creature of magic, just as he is.

A: the prospect; Q: What does Merlin face when he is forced to turn to The Great Dragon? A: one; Q: How many creatures did Merlin swear he would never trust again? Summary: New servant Cedric muscles in on Merlin's position as Arthur's right-hand man, and turns the prince against his loyal friend. Merlin is convinced the slippery newcomer is up to something, and he is right -Cedric is a conman and a thief who is after a magnificent jewel, recently unearthed in a tomb far beneath Camelot. Little does he know, his precious prize is more dangerous than he could possibly imagine. Camelot has never been more vulnerable, but how can Merlin make things right when, thanks to Cedric, he might have lost Arthur's friendship for good? Merlin faces the prospect of turning to the one creature he swore he would never trust again - The Great Dragon.
