As Gaius pointed out, the egg would have remained safe for centuries had Merlin not interfered. Merlin's choice to hatch the egg at a time when he was in no way ready to assume responsibility for a baby dragon ended up costing him dearly. If he had not done so, Morgana would have died at the end of Season Four and maybe there would have been a chance that Arthur would have gone on to rule over a golden age.
