I think this is my favourite chapter (although I haven't read the next one, but this is going to be hard to beat). Absolutely loved it.

Loved how you've weaved more of the Arthurian legend in here with the tree and Merlin (*cough* that did happen in the legend, right? I'm not just making it up?)

And, LOL, Arthur cracked me up in this. These lines in particular "Yes. And maybe even a pony. I'll let you pet it." and"Merlin, you know perfectly well how I feel about buses." Hee.

And then with Merlin dying and Arthur being all upset. And then finding Merlin again. Just ... aww. So, so good.
