After the battle there was a week of grieving. But now, it's time for the coronation. The throne room was filled with everybody from each village, sitting on the benches. Arthur and his friends were sitting on the guest seats. Merlin smiled, he wanted to be his coronation just like Arthur's.
The doors open and Merlin walks towards the throne. An air of excitement and anticipation filling the room. He kneels and one of the elders walked forward

"Nín huì zhèngzhòng chéngnuò bìng fāshì yào gēnjù yī mǎdīng rénmín de gèzì fǎlǜ hé fúzhuāng lái tǒngzhì tāmen ma?" (Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the Peoples of Imardin according to their respective laws and customs?) The elder of the mountains asked

"Wǒ zhèngzhòng xuānshì zhèyàng zuò." (I solemnly swear so to do.) Merlin answered and Arthur looked with proud at his boyfriend.

"Nín shìfǒu huì píngjí zìjǐ de quánlì shǐ nín de suǒyǒu pànjué dōu zhíxíng réncí de fǎlǜ hé zhèngyì?" (Will you to your power cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all your judgements?) The elder behind the waterfall now asked.

"Wǒ huì." (I will.)

"Ránhòu, gēnjù fùyǔ wǒmen de shénshèng fǎlǜ, wǒmen jiào nín jiào yī mǎ dīng zhī wáng méilín (Merlin)." (Then by the sacred laws vested in us, we crows you Merlin, King of Imardin.) The elders all now said.

"Wú huáng wànsuì!" (Long live the king!) Arthur yelled and everybody joined him.

"Wú huáng wànsuì! Wú huáng wànsuì!" Merlin smiled. This was the best day of his life. After the coronation there was a huge feast, outside. Everything was repaired and humans and creatures were once again together. And where the trolls and goblins are? They were feasting in their gold.
