User blog:Dryuuu/Why Aithusa healed Merlin

This is my theory. And if you think about it it's very realistic for the show.

Remember in Series 3 when Merlin accidentally put Morgana into a coma then regretted it and asked for the dragons' powers to heal her? Well, I think many of us may not be acknowledging that it was Kilgharrah who healed her. Indirectly, but it was still because of Kilgharrah's existence that she lived.

Okay, so Aithusa's flying through the forest, you know, going for a cruise. He comes across the dying Morgana. Being a dragon, he immediately senses Kilgharrahs' powers had been used a year ago to heal Morgana. Simple.

Now, if you think this is unlikely, then you're obviously not in the spirit of the show. Dragons are the most powerful magical creatures (apart from the goddesses). They are also extremely prophetic and most certainly would have knowledge of the past. They're also kin, so have a very deep connection with each other- no doubt Aithusa knowing Kilgharrah had healed the witch in the past would be a minimum to what it knows.

Yes, this sort of contradicts the fact that Aithusa didn't know Morgana was evil, but perhaps it just perceived it in a different but equally magical way. If that makes sense.

In other words, Aithusa happened to know that Merlins' and Morganas' destinies were to be intertwined forever, and that Kilgharrah had healed Morgana. So Aithusa made the same stupid mistake Merlin made- healed Morgana.

If you think this is all a crock of nonsense, then Morgana is a dragonlord (I don't think Kilgharrah knew Merlin was one until he controlle Kilgharrah), or Kilgharrah just coincidentally was being very charitable.

But I think it's the first one. The producers surely thought this out well. I think Merlin's mistake in the Crystal Caves episode is really going to come back to him in this year's series. Kilgharrah seemed pretty true to what he said, that Merlin made a great evil happen in the future, and surely this great evil couldn't have been just Morgana trying to kill Uther, then Merlin smashing the window and stopping her. There's more to it, I think.
