Plot Points:

  • Merlin tells Arthur he knows both his and Arthur's future after Merlin sees the woman who he knows will kill him
  • He then tells Arthur a few bits about his future and gives him some advice about the future
  • Then, knowing full well this lady is gonna kill him, Merlin follows her as she leaves the castle
  • Enamored by her beauty and completely entranced, he tells her anything she wishes to know, including all of his magic
  • She, not having any feelings for him in any way, kills him as soon as he tells her the last bit of knowledge he had
  • He did this all out of love, even though he knew the outcome and the exact means by which she would kill him
