GWEN

Why are you treating him like an animal?

ARTHUR

An animal is better than Merlin. At least it listens to me.

MERLIN

No, you' re wrong. It won't listen to you. Even an animal will understand that you're prat.

ARTHUR

You know, maybe I am prat but at least I'm not as lazy as you. Your works are waiting for you.

Men of  Morgana bring her a girl.

1st MAN 

My lady we saw her in the forest and we thought that she looks suspicious. Maybe, she is useful for you.

MORGANA 

Well, well, why a girl like you wondered alone in the forest?

THE GIRL

My lady, my name is Elena. I do not have any family. My mother died when I was born and my father was executed by Uther Pendragon, because he had magic. I don't want to do you any harm.

MORGANA

Do you have magic?

ELENA 

Yes, my lady.

MORGANA 

And your father was executed by Uther?

ELENA 

Yes, my lady.  I always wanted to take my revenge on Uther, but now, he's dead.

MORGANA

Yes, but his son is alive.

ELENA 

He isn't different  from his father. I can't kill him with on my own. I wanted to find someone to help me. 

MORGANA 

Well, you found the right person.

CHAPTER 2

GWEN

Elena.

ELENA

Yes, my lady.

GWEN

Can you pick me my night dress?

ELENA

Of course.

GWEN 

Thank you.

ELENA

Do you want anything else, before I leave?

GWEN 

No, you may leave.

ELENA

Good night, my lady.

While she was leaving she saw Arthur came.

GWEN

She is a very good girl.

ARTHUR

I'm glad she pleases you.

GWEN 

And she is doing very well her job.

                             -----------------------------------------------------------------------

MORGANA

How was your first week in Camelot?

ELENA

Wonderful. Our plan is going great.

MORGANA

Did they suspect you?

ELENA

No, they trust me.

MORGANA

And Merlin?

ELENA

He believes I am a good person.

MORGANA

Perfect. Soon you will take your revenge and I will take the throne of Camelot.

ELENA

Yes, but now I must go. They may suspect me.

MORGANA

You are right. Go.

She leaves. Merlin was watching her but she noticed him.

ELENA

I know you're watching me Merlin but at least do it right.

MERLIN

Why are you doing this?

ELENA

Arthur's father executed the only person I have in my life.

MERLIN

He is not like his father.

ELENA

Really? Because I can't see him any difference from Uther.

MERLIN

You're wrong and I won't let you to kill him.

ELENA

I believe you are the one who's wrong. Ablinn ou forlaete ou!

Merlin was knocked .Elena smiles in relief of her success and then leaves when  Merlin lied on the ground.

CHAPTER 3

Merlin wakes. Next to him was The Great Dragon.

KILGHARRAH (smiles)

Good morning young warlock. I am glad I see you again.

MERLIN

What happened? The only thing I remember is when I was knocked by Elena.

KILGHARRAH

I knew you were in trouble so, I came and I saved your life.

MERLIN

Thank you, but how did you know?

KILGHARRAH

Oh, Merlin. The bond between a dragon and his dragonlord is a strong one; I can feel the pain that had been done to you, as if it were my own.

MERLIN

Where am I?

KILGHARRAH

A few minutes from Camelot.

MERLIN

I must go. Gaius will be worried and Arthur must be angry.

KILGHARRAH (gently nudge Merin's head with his snout)

Be careful young warlock. Morgana is even more powerful now, then she was before.

Merlin leaves and moves to Camelot.

GAIUS

Where have you been?

MERLIN

Well it's a long story but the important thing is that Elena is going to help Morgana killing Arthur.Have you seen him?

GAIUS

Arthur,Gwen and Elena were going for a walk in the forest but now Morgana will take advantage of your absence.

MERLIN

I must hurry.But wait what did you tell to Arthur about me?

GAIUS

I didn't tell him anything but now he thought that you are in the tarvern.

MERLIN

Great.When I save him he will kill me.

GAIUS

We don't have time for that .You must leave.

MERLIN

You're right.

GAIUS

And Merlin.

MERLIN

Yes.

GAIUS

Be careful.

MORGANA

If you do another step you will see your Queen dead.

ARTHUR

MORGANA

Oh Arthur.How much you love her?Love to others destroyed you.Me,Agravaine,Elena.I can't believe you are so weak.

ARTHUR

MERLIN

ELENA

Yes ,ally with Morgana but first Arthur listen to me.Yes I wanted to kill you.You know why?Because your father killed the only person I had in my life.I thought you were like Uther but I was wrong.I lied to Morgana.

ARTHUR

ELENA

Magic saved your life.

ARTHUR

Magic was trying to kill me.

ELENA

Someone who is a knight he can use his skills for good or bad.To save people or kill people.The same thing is with magic.I don't want anything from you just I want to understand that people who have magic aren't necessary bad.

ARTHUR

Don't worry I understand that.

ELENA 

Yes,her bumb was too strong .

ARTHUR

ARTHUR

Merlin your works are waiting for you .Don't take a break and go to the tarvern.

ELENA

He is getting you mad?

MERLIN

I am putting up with him.

ELENA

I didn't want to knock you Merlin. If I told you the truth I will ruin it and Arthur will be dead .Also I knew you will be alright.A great sorcerer like you won't be caused any harm.

MERLIN

How..?

ELENA 

My father and I were Druids but we learned that Uther wanted to kill everyone who had magic so we left.That was a big mistake.

MERLIN

I'm sorry.

ELENA

It's ok.I didn't tell anything to Morgana .I had changed when I visited her.We arrived. Thank you. I'm glad I see you young warlock.

MERLIN

Me too.

ELENA

MERLIN

Bye.

ELENA

Merlin you know that Morgana has a dragon?

MERLIN

No. You think that this dragon will save her?

ELENA

I don't know but if you are right the evil called Morgana is alive.

MERLIN

What can I do for that?

ELENA

The only thing you can do is to kill this dragon.

MERLIN

No.

ELENA

Merlin if Morgana lives Arthur will die.

MERLIN

I can't.

ELENA

You have no choice.

CHAPTER 6

Merlin and Arthur were walking in the forest and they arrived in the lake of Avalon. 

MERLIN

Are you sure it's the right place for a picnic with Gwen?

ARTHUR

Of course .She will love to spend our day there.Now prepare the picnic and I will bring Gwen to surprise her.

MERLIN

Don't you think that these are dangerous lands ?

ARTHUR

Merlin let me care about that.

Morgana's men appeared.

MERLIN 

Ok  let's see you now.

ARTHUR

Shut up Merlin.

Arthur was fighting with them . Merlin was using magic to stop them . When Arthur killed the men who attacked him he was going to help Merlin.Merlin without seeing that Arthur was behind him and  watching him  ,he used magic to kill the last man who was still alive.Arthur saw that.

ARTHUR

You have magic .

MERLIN

Arthur, let me explain you.

ARTHUR

What? You want to explain me that you lied to me all these years into my face.

MERLIN

No. I didn't want you  to learn like this .

ARTHUR

Really?When will you tell me ?I can't  believe that  Merlin.I thought you're my friend.

MERLIN

I am your friend.It's not make any difference because I have magic.

ARTHUR

No Merlin .I thought I know you. But I was wrong . You lied to me .

MERLIN

Arthur I was afraid if you knew the truth.

ARTHUR

What?You're afraid because I'm the King and I'll execute you ?

MERLIN

No, I was afraid  because if you knew the truth you won't accept that I have magic and our friendship will be over.

ARTHUR

I think it's already over Merlin.

CHAPTER 7

MERLIN

You can't mean that.Arthur please.

ARTHUR

First we must go to Camelot .Then I will decide what to do.Perhaps it's better to you to go to Ealdor .

MERLIN

Arthur...

ARTHUR

Do me a favor.Don't talk until we arrive to Camelot.

They arrived to Camelot .Merlin didn't follow Arthur.He wanted to let him think. There was nothing else he could do. He went to his room and wait Arthur's desicion.Merlin has never seen him so angry.

                                                       -----------------------------------------------------

ARTHUR

What?Are you ok with that?

GWEN

ARTHUR

He's not the same.He changed.

GWEN

Arthur came to his room.

ARTHUR
