The Great Dragon and Gaius in “A Remedy to Cure All Ills”

How old a man can become and yet change so little.

You have not changed either.

Twenty years. Almost a lifetime to make the short journey back to where you began.

I'm not here for myself.

The boy?

You know about Merlin?

You have struggled against his destiny but you can no more prevent it than he can.

So it is true then?

Oh yes. He and the young Pendragon one day will unite the land of Albion.

But he is in danger.

No, it is my jailer who stands in peril.

Must Uther be sacrificed for the boy?

Their time cannot come until his is past.

But is that time now?

(chuckling) That is of your choosing.

I will not choose between them.

Then turn a blind eye. That is, after all, your talent.
