Merlin, in his attempts to save Arthur and change his fate, discovered that there was no way to prevent the fateful events that would lead to Arthur's death. despite his magic, his sacrifices, his unwavering loyalty, Merlin was powerless against the forces of destiny. He then realised that no matter how hard he tried, the course of events had been set in motion long before he had come into Arthur's life and that there was no way to alter what was set in stone from the beginning - lol - #merlin #
