The curse had been meant for Arthur. It had been meant to kill. But when Merlin had shoved his King out of way, jumped in front of it to save the life of the man he loved, what happened was so much worse. What had been designed to kill grew instead. It festered, and rotted, and wrapped slick, oily tendrils around everything deep inside him, leaving Merlin feeling dirty and unclean.
