(Arthur's head lolls and goes down. (Merlin steps past Gaius and looks out into the forest.) A lorry rushes by, and an aged Merlin is seen walking on the road along what was once the lake of Avalon. Aithusa screeches and comes back to attack again. Arthur is dragging Excalibur. Arthur: For the love of Camelot! Arthur: Gaius... Gaius walks up to Arthur as Merlin walks away. Arthur: Merlin ?! Gaius: You cannot send Merlin. Gwaine and Percival race through a forest. Gwaine catches up to her. Gwaine? Gwen is helping tend to the wounded. Gwen: The sorcerer in the battle. He then lowers Arthur to the ground. He turns to leave as she turns around. He's my friend! I thought I was in time. In the midst of the Lake Of Avalon there is an ancient isle. Kilgharrah arrives. Kilgharrah: 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 andfuture King. Merlin holds Morgana as she dies. Merlin puts Arthur's arm over his shoulders and helps away. Merlin sets the bowl down. Merlin takes the reins of Arthur's horse and grabs his horse and walks away. Merlin then throws Excalibur into the lake and it is caught by Freya's hand and drawn back under the water while he watches resignedly. Merlin uses magic to 'see' the way to the fire. Merlin: I'll deal with them. Mordred smiles at Arthur and dies. Morgana: Emrys! Morgana: Position lookouts for the king's approach. Percival: Gwaine. She goes to the table that has the bandages. Take heart, for when Albion's need is greatest, Arthur will rise again. Tell me. Thank you. We need to reach the lake before dawn. Without you, Camelot's nothing. [SCENE_BREAK]

Summary: Emrys arrives at Camlann, and uses his magic to knock Morgana unconscious, order Aithusa to leave, and strike down many of Morgana's men. The battle culminates in Mordred dealing Arthur a fatal wound, only to receive one in return. While tending to Arthur, Merlin confesses that he is a sorcerer. Arthur's only chance of survival is the powers of the Sidhe (pronounced "Shee") of Avalon, so Merlin sets out to reach the lake. In Camelot, Morgana's spy is discovered by Guinevere, Gaius and Gwaine and she is hanged, leading Gwaine, along with Percival, to hunt down Morgana. However, she overpowers them and magically tortures Gwaine into confessing Arthur's whereabouts; Gwaine dies shortly afterwards in Percival's arms. Morgana catches up with Merlin and Arthur and drives their horses away, but she is killed by Merlin wielding Excalibur. Without horses, Merlin cannot get Arthur to the Isle in time, and the King of Camelot dies in Merlin's arms, after thanking his friend for everything he has done. Merlin beseeches the Great Dragon to carry Arthur's body to the Isle, and the Dragon does so. As Merlin desperately tries to drag Arthur's body to the lake, the Great Dragon tells Merlin he has succeeded, and that as the Once and Future King, Arthur will rise again in Albion's greatest hour of need. As the Dragon departs, Merlin flings Excalibur into the waters of Avalon and sends Arthur's body after it. Guinevere ascends the throne of Camelot. In the present day, it seems an immortal Merlin still waits for the Once and Future King to rise again.
