Arthur accepted the little tube, placing it between his lips like Merlin said. “I’m gonna light it for you,” Merlin said, leaning forward. “When it catches, just breathe in.” Arthur nodded, almost going cross-eyed as Merlin flicked the lighter and held it to the end of the tube. It started to smol

Merlin attempts to take his own life, but instead sets in motion a series of events the gods did not plan for. The gods are now scrambling to force a new prophecy. Faces from the past and present blur together as Merlin tries to save the world he wanted to leave.

After a hunt goes sideways, in a true Camelot fashion, Merlin gets stuck in a bedroll. Arthur is drowning in feelings he doesn't dare to say out loud. The knights won’t stop asking questions. And somewhere in the middle of all that, Merlin might be immortal. Overall a pretty normal day in Camelot.

But as Merlin helps him investigate the truth behind his strange new ability, Arthur begins to realise that magic, and perh
