Line 31:
Merlin storms into Gaius’s chambers, dung still all over his face. Gaius quietly begins to wash it off.
 
{{quote| '''Merlin''': I'm not an idiot.<br />
'''Gaius''': What happened?<br />
'''Merlin''': I just want Arthur to trust me. And to see me for who I really am.<br />
'''Gaius''': One day he will.<br />
'''Merlin''': When? Everything I do is for him and he just thinks I'm an idiot.<br />
'''Gaius''': Not everyone thinks you're an idiot. Although, looking at you now...Now is not the time to be questioning these things, Merlin. I believe that you and Arthur are destined for greatness, and that your calling is to serve and protect him. }}
 
Line 52:
Having been knocked off his feet and semi-unconscious, Arthur opens his eyes to see a gargoyle plummeting down toward him. Just as he’s about to be crushed, someone grabs his arm and yanks him out of the way. Getting to his feet, he’s surprised to find it’s Guinevere, who almost immediately tackles him to the ground at the sight of another gargoyle swooping down behind him. Together the two of them retreat back into the castle where Gwen offers to get him some bandages. Still looking a little doozy, Arthur calls her back.
 
{{quote| '''Gwen''': I'll get you something to stop the bleeding.<br />
'''Arthur''': Guinevere. I wanted to say...just, uh...you always surprise me. <br />
'''Gwen''': Is that it, Sire?<br />
'''Arthur''': That's it. Oh, and uh...thank you. }}
 
Line 69:
Merlin bolts outside and sees Arthur lying unconscious on the ground. As a gargoyle hurtles toward him, Merlin casts a spell that pulverises it into harmless dust. Sigan emerges from the shadows, commending Merlin on his power.
 
{{quote| '''Sigan''': He does not deserve your loyalty. He treats you like a slave.<br />
'''Merlin''': That's not true.<br />
'''Sigan''': He cast you aside without a moment's thought.<br />
'''Merlin''': That doesn't matter.<br />
'''Sigan''': But it must hurt so much to be so put upon, so overlooked, when all the while you have such power.<br />
'''Merlin''': That's the way it has to be.<br />
'''Sigan''': Does it? You're young, Merlin. Look inside yourself. You have yet to discover your true power. I can help you. Think, Merlin. To have the world appreciate your greatness. To have Arthur know you for what you are.<br />
'''Merlin''': That can never be.<br />
'''Sigan''': It can, if you join me. Together we can rule over this land. Arthur will tremble at your voice, he will kneel at your feet.<br />
'''Merlin''': I don't want that.<br />
'''Sigan''': You'd rather be a servant?<br />
'''Merlin''': Better to serve a good man that to rule with an evil one.<br />
'''Sigan''': So be it. If you will not join me, I will become you and your power will be harnessed to my will. }}
 
Line 96:
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Merlin's promise to the Dragon that one day he'll free him from his chains.

{{quote| ''"Wha-hey!"''}}
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Cornelius is astonished to discover that Merlin is a powerful sorcerer.
* [[Dreaming of Things to Come]]: Morgana dreams of a raven, the symbol of Cornelius Sigan.
