[ merlin drinks. the walls tremble. ]

MERLIN : 

…I see.

Let’s not tarry. 

AGLOVALE : 

What are you doing?

MERLIN : 

I’m looking for the spell’s source.

It’s not her. She’s only the energy source the spell uses to function.

The true source is somewhere in here. 

…

…Oh no.

AGLOVALE : 

What is it?

They’re only will-o'-the-wisps, aren’t they? They’re harmless. 

MERLIN : 

Yes, but…

…I’m not keen on what having so many of them flitting around means for us.

AGLOVALE : 

…? 

[ merlin cages the creature with a spell. ]

MERLIN : 

Sluagh.

They’re scavengers. 

They have to rush into any little breach they find to leave the Otherworld.

Don’t worry, Aglovale. 

You’re with me, so you’ve got nothing to fear. <3 

But we’d better hurry and find the spell’s source quickly.

If she dies, the spell will be complete, and the sluagh

will take her to bolster their own numbers. And believe me, fighting sluagh is beyond unpleasant. 

GUINEVERE : 

…Can she hear us?

MERLIN : 

Probably. 

GUINEVERE : 

Let me get close to her.

I will make her see reason.

MERLIN : 

I’ve always loved your determination, my queen. 

GUINEVERE : 

I remember you, you know.

I didn’t forget the young boy who cared for me

when I was a prisoner in Malduc’s home.

He never gave me his name, but

he helped me so much.

MAGE : 

But not enough to come for him?

…I’m not that boy anymore. 

And I have no name to give you. 

I am a weapon now. 

A weapon, and an instrument of vengeance. 

MORDRED : 

( Damn.

He’s holding his own! )

BRUNOR : 

WATCH OUT! 

MORGAN : 

…Thank you, my boy. 

DULLAHAN : 

You. 

Your blood.

Smells…

The same. 

BRUNOR : 

( It can talk?! )

DULLAHAN : 

Same smell…

Same knight… 

That blood…so good…

So good good so good so good so so so good!! Good so good!! 

So good so good so good!! So good so good so so good!! Good so good so good!! 

[ u got the message i’m not doing this forever ] 

MORGAN : 

WATCH OUT! 

MORDRED : 

Mother! What’s going on?! 

MORGAN : 

It’s the dullahan’s magic… 

When its blood touches its victim, it learns their name!

If it uses its magic to speak it…

Brunor will die! 

DULLAHAN : 

Your name.

I know.

Your name. 

ROUND TABLE TRIVIA

Sluagh are a conglomerate of human souls who could not find eternal rest.
