I'm no usually a fan of angst, but this was just beautiful.

Is the POV Nature or Merlin's Magic?

Whichever, this was a fantastic story. Poor Arthur. To lose him in a way that Arthur could not fight no matter how hard he tried.

Is there a sequel in the works? Merlin returning to Arthur?

Aw, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, especially as you don't normally like angst. x3
Yes, it's told from the POV of Merlin's magic. Cookies for you! xD
Yeah, that was mean. The prompt just made me think that if Arthur was going to lose him, there would be nothing he could do about it.
Uhm...there wasn't going to be. I could write one, though, I suppose. I don't know what it'd be like, though.

Oh, this is very lovely and I've a tendency not to notice that my prompts have been answered until I read them posted somewhere else *facepalms*

But this is exactly what I wanted: Merlin and his magic, seemingly untouchable, and wanted by the world because he is an integral part of nature, balance, Old Religion, etc.

I didn't realise it would feel so wrong, though - that while I read through, I started thinking 'NO NO NO HE BELONGS WITH ARTHUR DAMN IT; MIND, BODY, SOUL, MAGIC' and I guess that defeats the purpose of the prompt but whatever. I blame your amazing writing skills.

And okay, I peeked through the comments and saw that you said the POV is from Merlin's magic. Didn't realise that - thought it was from nature or some sentient form of the Old Religion - but I think it's brilliant. I have a weakness for this kind of POV.

Long comment is long :P

This gave me shivers, it really did. "Hauntingly beautiful" is the only way I can think to describe this.

[adeina_rhyddha]

Oh, wow. Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it.

xDD
Sorry, my mind is an exceedingly strange place.

[adeina_rhyddha]

The POV?
It's Merlin's magic. x3
Good guess, though.
Thank you - I'm glad you liked it.
