Duel between Merlin and Tauren

When Morgana decided to betray the king, forging and evil alliance with the renegade sorcerer Tauren, she asked Uther to go with her to visit Gorlois’ grave. When they approached the gravestone of Uther’s former friend, Morgana asked for some privacy and Uther dismissed the guards. When Merlin, who had grabbed his Sidhe staff from under his bed and run after the patrol in the woods, arrived, he found that the king’s men had been killed by the renegades. As soon as the young warlock approached the renegades, he raised the staff and used Sidhe magic to strike the first assassin with a deadly bolt. The second one drew his sword but Merlin shot him before he could react.

In the meantime Tauren was spying Uther and Morgana from behind a tree. He heard Merlin climbing up the hill and turned around to confront him, taking the Mage Stone out of the bag he had bound to his belt. Merlin raised the Sidhe staff and fired another bolt of energy but Tauren absorbed it with the Stone and sent it back at the young warlock, who was knocked out.

Luckily, while the sorcerer was fighting with Uther, Morgana changed her mind and decided to save her guardian, stabbing her former ally to death (To Kill the King).
