Hengist? Bah! It's not Hengist. The arm is OBVIOUSLY Will from The Moment of Truth! Freya felt so bad about all of Merlin's friends dying (including herself) that she transported Will's spirit to Avalon ASAP after she became the Lady of the Lake. Sadly, she forgot that Merlin had RUN OUT of Avalon water and the fisher king was dead and thus could not give him any more. So, to make up for the fact that he didn't get to see his friend again, because she hogged the scrying super magic puddle Avalon-style skype in The Coming of Arthur, she allowed Will to be the one to take back the sword!
