Sometimes I like to think about the possibility of Arthur and Mordred having a sort of temporary immortality, as in nothing could kill them until they killed each other

That was how the Triple Goddess decreed it after all. Only the Disir could have changed it, only they could have killed Mordred to save Arthur.

And if you think about it, all that Arthur is saved from, all that Mordred escapes, I do believe in the webs of fate that they couldn't die. There was a path they had to complete, too bound to die in any other way.

Before they were born they had a set death. It's right there in the writings of the Catha, hundreds of years beforehand.

So it only makes sense that they could not die until that day came.

#bbc merlin #merlin #just thinking about it is like #it makes sense because of how fate and destiny work in bbc merlin #and i dont think other seers and such for example are awfully aware #Morgause does say that some futures are as clear as cut glass and others #are shrouded in mist which is like they are aware that some things are certain #while others are not but it just goes to show with how like Morgana did everything to keep #Gwen off the throne like she could not succeed #which shows how they were all baked into fate that nothing could have been prevented #the Triple Goddess was probably like lol lmao even whenever they try #to like prevent fate and the future from happening #even Finna and Alator are like this must be prevented and like could it have been?#at that point? no no only the Disir could have prevented the great battle #just interesting to consider #consider even more so that Arthur is actually immortal because if Mordred wasn't there to kill him could he die?#Merlin is his immortal soulmate it only makes sense to me that he's actually immortal - hence why he's the only #one said to return one day likeeeee it's because of Merlin like they're the only characters too to be #said to be born from magic im sure only a sword forged in a dragon's breath could kill either of them #and well like there's the immortality of Morgana and Nimueh (and Morgause?) could then Mordred have been immortal too?#i think these are interesting questions to ponder
