I think that Arthur and Merlin never did fulfill their destinies. Morgana had a horde of fanatic magic users on her side, and even with her gone, they would never stop until Camelot had fallen. Not to mention that the other kingdoms would never leave a weakened Camelot be, since it is a rare chance to find such a kingdom this weakened. All those facts, along with the condition of the modern era Merlin, indicate that everyone did indeed fail.
