User blog comment:Merlaa/Where did Merlin go?/@comment-4650675-20121226203602

Here's how I see it:


 * They understood the king is dead because of the king's seal. Arthur had it sent to Gwen because he knew he was dying. Since it reached Gwen, it meant he made her his successor.


 * Merlin was reborn. It would make no sense his 80 year old self looking exactly the same as his 1500 year old self. Besides, Balinor says that magical beings, like him, Merlin, Mordred, Morgana e.t.c. cannot die, but he was dead with the literal meaning of the word, wasn't he? That's why I think that the magical beings are reborn after their deaths.

Those are the conclusions I've reached! Of course, they cannot be confirmed...but better than being left over with questions, right?
