   Summary

   The wind whispers to those who listen, as do the rain and the worms. They whisper of a foolish king and a merciless deity. They whisper about the slow decay of the world and the rebirth of all things.

   They whisper that, during the Great Purge, Uther trapped a being no mortal was ever meant to trap. He bound it in the deepest cave of his kingdom and atop the highest peak of his land.

   And the rain whispers: fear not, for only mortals remain bound forever. The seasons will come and go, the world will freeze and the snow will melt. And one day, Emrys will be free once more. Magic will walk the Earth anew.

   ◊◊ ◊◊ ◊◊

   Arthur is in love. Merlin is tired. And Mordred will free Emrys, no matter the cost.

   [Emrys revealed - Good!Mordred]
