VIVIANE : 

This place truly hasn’t changed one bit.

MERLIN : 

Go on, help yourself.

Take whatever you want.

VIVIANE : 

So you really won’t tell me why you’re so set on “bequeathing” all this to me, huh?

…O great seer, you know much but share so little…

Is it out of love for manipulating others, or merely a quest for entertainment?

MERLIN : 

…

I learned that revealing the whole truth only makes things more complicated, to my sorrow. 

I keep my secrets

so that my proteges may have hope. 

VIVIANE : 

Your proteges, hm?

So you don’t see Morgan as one of them anymore, I suppose?

If you did, perhaps she would be the heir to your…

…everything. 

So much time spent following your teachings, Merlin dear…

And she was such a studious pupil.

MERLIN : 

…She had passion, yes.

She has grown into an incredible mage.

What a shame to watch her drift away from what I taught her…

…as you have. 

VIVIANE : 

…

Why did you bring me here?

You must be aware that our proteges

are at war. 

MERLIN : 

[ sighs ]

…What a lovely blade. 

Was it forged by the previous Lady of the Lake?

Or did Nimue leave you more than her trinkets⎯

VIVIANE : 

She left me more than you know.

Don’t change the subject, Merlin.

I don’t know what you’re plotting,

but I will not let my children die because you kept your prophetic secrets. 

Tell me everything. Now. 

MERLIN : 

Knowing how the story ends won’t keep it from ending. 

I’ve been preparing too, if you must know.

VIVIANE : 

How so?

What do you mean?

MERLIN : 

You once asked me who my sire was.

Look closely, Viviane.

VIVIANE : 

What…? 

…

…The…

…horned god…? 

You’re his son?! 

( If he fights by Arthur’s side, then

all will be lost…

…He cannot be allowed to interfere! )

[ well. ] 

VIVIANE : 

( If anyone could crawl out of the grave, it’d be him. 

He must be scealed. )

[ cut to the war camp! ] 

MORDRED : 

…

Hm? 

ARTHUR : 

…Mordred, can we talk?
