They hit a crevasse, and Arthur moves to jump over it.
#Merlin season 5 episode 1 light creature free#
Through fighting and magic, Merlin and Arthur free themselves, grab as many weapons as they can, and run. As he moves to kill Merlin, Arthur cuts him across the face. The lacky tells them that he’ll rest, forever. Head lacky yells to know who did it, and Arthur indicates it was Merlin. Merlin causes some of the lackies supplies to fall of their cart. He nods to Merlin to continue their plan. Merlin and Arthur continue to trek through the snow, Arthur holding the dagger out of sight. Guinevere states hat he is Sefa’s father, so she has to believe he will. Gaius reminds the queen that the execution is set, and what happens if Ruadan does not show up. Gaius tells Guinevere that this is a dangerous game, and Guinevere states that wars aren’t won without taking risks. Guinevere states that if Ruadan ( finally, a name) has one spy in Camelot, he may have others. Guinevere agrees, revealing that her plan was to lure Sefa’s father to Camelot, not to have Sefa die.

Gaius tries to advocate for Sefa, stating that she was foolish, but does not deserve to die. Guinevere acknowledges that Sefa had been used by her father, but states that the sentence stands. Sefa begs for her life, saying she wanted to make her father happy. Sefa tries to say that she was just trying to help her father, while Guinevere argues that she cannot change the law and men died due to Sefa’s betrayal. As Merlin props Arthur up to stand, Arthur looks at Merlin and winks, showing him that Arthur had managed to steal the sword from the lacky.īack in Camelot, Sefa has an audience with the Queen, and they address each other quite cordially, given the severity of the situation.

One of Morgana’s lackies picks Arthur up from the ground and taunts him until Merlin says that he’ll take care of Arthur. Merlin and Arthur march on, until suddenly Arthur falls to his knees in the snow. Morgana marches back out, leaving Sefa’s father with the distinct feeling that Morgana may just be on the wrong side of crazy. Morgana says that that is a cruel fate, and that Sefa would be remembered, but there was nothing he could do for Sefa now. She demands he talk to his spy in Camelot, but Sefa’s father gravely tells Morgana of his daughters fate, stating that she had proven to be a worthy daughter. Sefa’s father states that he could be dead, but Morgan knows her brother far better than that. Morgana marches to the throne room in Ismir, whining to Sefa’s father that the key has still not been found, and that Arthur could be on them any day. Merlin tests this new found loyalty in Mordred, asking what Morgana is searching for in Ismir, and Mordred tells him that it is the key to all knowledge. Mordred admits he has seen what happens to magic users, and has also learned to hide his talents, and that Merlin’s secret is safe with him. He asks if Merlin fears him (to which Merlin gives a little nod). He tells Merlin that he owes Arthur, and that Merlin should not be so quick to judge. Mordred slowly approaches Merlin with some bread, asking if Merlin wants it. Some how, Arthur sleeps on the snow covered ground, while Merlin keeps watch. It hides when some men march through the caves, where Gwaine, and the glowing thing, go undetected.īack with Merlin and Arthur, Morgana’s lackies sleep huddled for warmth in a snow covered land. In Ismir, ET’s glowing cousin sits with the still unconscious and still shirtless Gwaine. The lackies tease Merlin with food, but Mordred tries to negotiate for food or some sort of respite for Arthur and Merlin. Night has fallen, and a freezing and hungry Merlin watches Mordred and Morgana’s men eat and laugh around a fire. Sefa begs Gaius an opportunity to speak to the Queen, to let her beg for her life. Gaius arrives, offering Sefa a potion that will ” make it easier”. In Camelot, Sefa watches as a noose is prepared for her. Arthur gets punched in the stomach for talking. Merlin and Mordred keep exchanging glances, and Merlin uneasily tells Arthur that they have to plan an escape. Arthur bitches that their capture is due to Merlin thinking with his stomach, while Merlin angrily tells Arthur that he had told Arthur to go back to Camelot. Merlin and Arthur are being taken, in chains, to Morgana by her lackies and Mordred. Morgana promises her dragon that all will be okay, that they will soon know Arthur’s bane, and she will rule Camelot. The white dragon, so cute before,but now kind of decrepit looking, limps to its mistress’ side. Morgana wakes, panicking, and calls Aithusa’s name. She sees herself, chained, and a white dragon, curled around her, that calls out in distress. Morgana dreams, a dark dungeon filling her mind. Review by OBS staff member Karolina Avalon
