I loved the original story and felt you had done a great job with tying the lose ends of the character assassination the script writers had made with Arthur in the fist half of S2.

This was a lovely tye in and as I am particularly fond of Fairy tales the prose and quests fitted that imagery perfectly.
I kept thinking of the old addige about people in glasses house all the way through. It was interesting that Arthur never fully got that aspect but somehow knew that he couldn't allow the loss of his friend, even if he wasn't exactly sure that it was Merlin.

Really great work, I kind of would like to see a final part to this verse to really bring it all together. I don't think it really needs it, I just like this verse and want more that's all :)
