User blog comment:Longlivemerlin/Theories on the series 5 finale!!!!/@comment-5484578-20121206182846

i got a feeling it's going to be a condensed version of Dicken's A Christmas Carol, where morgana is scrooge and emyrs is the ghost of xmas past and arthur is kind of like tiny tim and gwen is kind if like bob cratchit

so...my theory... (please read)

the battle rages on camlann against the saxons who they dont know are obeying morgana and sefa, mordred is with arthur for the moment. then when they are in the middle of battle, mordred sneaks off to morgana and says he wants to kill arthur. he switches armour and joins the saxons. once most people but arthur are dead, mordred appears in front of arthur and strikes him down. merlin appears as emrys and kills mordred, he asks arthur to hold on ( merlin hasn't revealed himself yet) and emrys goes to morgana and says the line 'is this really what you wanted morgana?' (morgana's nearly dying from battle wounds) after realising all the stuff she has done, morgana uses the last of her strength to give her magic to emrys, morgana then dies and emrys goes back to arthur, emrys uses all of that magic to heal arthur, in doing so, he switches back to merlin. arthur is extremely surprised and slightly angry about merlin being a sorcerer but arthur knows he owes him a great deal. merlin is dying because of the amount of strength and magic he has used but arthur takes him to the lake of avalon where freya appears and uses her magic to bring merlin back. arthur and merlin then return to camelot where gwen and gaius are waiting for them, all are delighted to see each other. Arthur tells merlin he now knows he is a sorcerer, and merlin fills in all of the gaps from the countless number of times he has saved arthur (then and awful lot of sped up flashbacks happen at the same time). The people gather in the main square and celebrate. Back in the main hall about a few hours later, arthur informs everyone of what's happened and about mordred being a traitor and the stuff about merlin being a sorcerer, the crowd are shocked, but arthur declares that magic is no longer outlawed. they start chanting Long Live The King!' and they end the show zooming out.

thankyou everyone who read that! i was going to do a blog post, but not anymore.
