User blog comment:Adelina Le Morte March/Avalon supports Arthur's army in final battle?/@comment-4683199-20121115222140

I actually thought something like this would happen for a long time (but that's mainly because i confused 'Albion' and 'Avalon', which caused me to think they were related)

And who says that Freya has to return as a girl (or even human)? Maybe she could transform (by her own will) into a good form of the Bastet.

"when they lose the battle?" I know in most (or all?) versions of the Arthurian Legends, they do, but these writers were never known to write it strictly based on them. Your probably right though, but it sort of sounds like you KNOW it will happen. If there is a Series 6, then I think they will win, but i actually don't think there's gonna be one (but I can hope!)

Returning to the main topic, that type of ending would be epic! (although if they do take him to Avalon (this season), that means that there could be no Series 6, or any movie trilogy.) This is my version: Arthur gets badly wounded, but defeats Mordred, Merlin, Aithusa, and Gwen make Morgana good at the end of the battle ( "Help me, Emrys.."), and Morgana heals Arthur, but he's already lost to much blood. Arthur, the Knights of The Round Table (including Lancelot and Elyan, returning from Avalon), Merlin (Arthur finds out about his magic shortly before the battle), Gwen, Freya and Morgana got to the Lake of Avalon. There, Arthur dies, and with Freya, Lancelot, and Elyan, enter Avalon, while Gwen, with the help of Merlin, Morgana, and the Knights, governs Camelot, finishes Arthur's mission of uniting Albion and Magic returns to the lands. (i'm a Mergana shipper, so we know what happens there...) (This might actually be the ending of my Merlin fan-fic, if i ever write one)

The main problem with both of our theories is that if Arthur dies in the battle, then he is not going to be the one to bring magic back to the land, and Kilgharrah keeps saying so. (we all know about Scumbag Kilgharrah's prophecies... but this one is consistent throughout the show.) The synopsis for 5x10 is already out, and assuming that 5x12 and 5x1313 is the battle itself, there seems to be no possibility of magic returning. I don't see how the writers will pull it off either, unless there is an X-year gap between episodes 11 and 12.

Or maybe Arthur doesn't die/get wounded in this battle. Or maybe the battle will not be The Battle of Camlann, but a different one. Or maybe there will be no battle. Or maybe we're right and Arthur dies and the show ends (*starts crying*.) I guess you never know with Merlin writers.
