User blog comment:Dryuuu/Why Aithusa healed Merlin/@comment-4650675-20120113113127

I like your theory. However, there are some things that I have doubts on. For example, as you said, Aithusa being a wise creature contradicts the fact that he wasn't aware of Morgana's evil ways. Also, what Katie McGrath said in an interview was that it has to do with an Arthurian legend that not everyone is familiar with. I agree to the fact that it would be nice to have Morgana be a dragonlord, since the powers need to be balanced out a little between her and Merlin (Merlin did pretty much everything in the last episode, like sealing Morgana's magic, have Arthur think he pulled the sword out, call the dragon to kill a big part of Morgana's army and even directly using magic againist her when she was about to kill Gwen with a sword, whereas Morgana could only swordfight). Also, the crystal cave episode was really interesting, if you think about it Taliesin was the one that showed the future to Merlin. Because of that, Morgana did not only learn her birthrights but also was healed by a dragon. So, why did he show Merlin to the crystal cave? Maybe Morgana is a real important part of the future, since all magical creatures like Taliesin or Aithusa keep "forcing" her destiny to happen.
