User blog comment:Morganaforever/Is Kilgharrah a good prophet?/@comment-5674726-20121208001120

What I find interesting is the exact wording of some of Kilgharrah's prophecies.

One that stands out for me is after Morgana's return at the beginning of Season Three:

''But I fear that your futures are now joined forever. She is the darkness to your light, the hatred to your love.''

Perhaps the "now" is telling.

Kilgharrah says this after Merlin has decided against telling Morgana that he had magic, led Arthur to a group of people with magic shortly after Morgana made contact with them on two separate occasions, and poisoned her, leading Morgause to take her away to save her life.

If it's only after those events that Morgana and Merlin's futures became joined, with her as the darkness to his light, etc, would it not stand to reason that, had Merlin made different choices, that fate could have been averted?
