Imagine if Mordred had never turned evil and over the years Merlin's suspicions that Mordred's going to kill Arthur became more of a running joke
Arthur: *knocks Mordred down during training*
Merlin: Watch out Sire, he might kill you for that
Arthur: *laughs* Oh? I'll make sure to watch my back then
Mordred: *rolls his eyes*
Leon: We have reason to believe someone is planning to kill the king. We're searching every room for evidence
Merlin: Have you checked Mordred's room yet?
Leon: *amused* Not yet but don't worry Merlin, it's on the list
Mordred: *sighs*
Arthur: I swear Merlin you'll be the death of me someday
Merlin: No I'm pretty sure that's Mordred
Mordred: What did I do?!!!
love the difference in tone when homer narrates about zagreus vs melinoe. he's like the lazy ass prince blunders on and on. oh the splendor of the princess as she moves in darkness......... he has a favorite
is hypnos just. in a coma. or in some sort of stasis. asleep for actual ages. because he was asleep when melinoë was little during that flashback. HYPNOS WAKE UP
