It was Freya, not Arthur. If it was Arthur, their last scene would be kinda ruined and unimportant. Not to mention that, if Arthur was able to come back so quickly after he was sent, then in "The Lady of the Lake" Freya would have done the same, to show Merlin that she is alive and have him stop crying.

In addition, Arthur would have no reason to catch Excalibur and take it with him, but Freya does. She is the Lady of the Lake and will guard Excalibur until Arthur returns. She is the one who gave Merlin his sword, so it's only natural for her to get it back. In addition, we know that she is immortal, as all magical beings are, but we do not know that for Arthur...
