Time of Need

Main Points:
Merlin, somewhat universe optional but with the BBC Merlin in mind, with The Secret World crossover.  No knowledge of The Secret World needed for this drabble.
Summary: A renewed sense of purpose.

            For the first time in forever, Merlin’s not all that unhappy about the world needing him.  He’d have to be discreet, as usual, but he’d had practice with that.  I’ll just have to keep the world in one piece until Arthur returns, he thinks, feeling somehow renewed, ready for the challenge.

            For the first time in a long time, it’s not a matter of if Arthur will return, but when.  He can feel the world’s need, a call of magic stirring the waters of Avalon.  Before the end, the Once King will become a Future King, and the end is not tomorrow, but it’s not long off, either.  This crisis is the catalyst.
