- The Questing Beast is on the loose near Camelot, and Arthur, ignoring a warning from Morgana who has dreamed that it will kill him, is bitten by the creature before Merlin slays it. Arthur sinks into a coma and the Great Dragon tells Merlin he can only save him by traveling to the Isle of the Blessed. On arrival there Merlin meets the witch Nimueh, who gives him the antidote, water from the Cup of Life, but warns him that, to save Arthur's life, another must be sacrificed. Arthur drinks the water and recovers but Merlin discovers the witch was not lying - his mother is consequently endangered. This will lead to the greatest ever test of both his emotions and his magic powers as he returns for a last show-down with Nimueh.—don @ minifie-1
- Arthur's hunting party is surprised by a mighty monster, which Gaius knows as the Questing Beast, an ancient magic harbinger of dramatic change. Uther waves his warning and orders it killed, but Arthur gets bitten with a venom beyond Gaius's medical abilities. The dragon tells Merlin the only salvation for Arthur is a deal with the ancient pagan high priesthood on a distant magic island. Gaius warns Merlin they always demand another life in exchange, so Merlin goes to offer his own. The priest is none other than Nimueh, who accepts the deal but sends the fatal disease to Merlin's ma. Merlin returns and demands adherence to their original deal, but Gaius gets there first, offering his life to save Merlin's, which is accepted before the young warlock arrives. His indignant grief turns into unleashed fury.—KGF Vissers
- After Arthur is attacked by a beast creature, Merlin goes to the absolute limit to find a way to save him. After finding the solution, Merlin discovers that a price has to be paid. He must a way to balance everything to the right order for everyone.—RECB3
- At the order of King Uther, Arthur, accompanied by Merlin and a group of knights, hunt down and slay a creature called the Questing Beast, a mythical monster which is said to appear just before a time of upheaval. During their encounter, the venomous beast bites Arthur as he attempts to save Merlin. The beast is slain, but Gaius is unable to treat the mortally wounded Arthur, saying he is sure to die and that no remedy exists which can save him. Not even Merlin's magic has effect. In desperation Merlin seeks advice of the imprisoned dragon, who tells him that the beast was of the old religion. Merlin must travel to the Isle of the Blessed where he will find the means necessary to cure the young prince; but, as Gaius later warns the young wizard, by being bitten, the old religion has decided Arthur must die. If Merlin wishes to change this, then another life must be given in exchange for the prince's. It's a price Merlin is glad to pay and fully prepared to offer - his own - but on traveling to the Isle of the Blessed, he is confronted by the evil sorceress Nimueh, with whom he must bargain. In doing so, it comes at a personal cost greater than he ever thought possible.—Robert McElwaine
