asked:
So quick question why would Merlin tell the others to find the original Dark One when they have no intentions but to destroy all of life itself?
answered:
Uh…Maybe Merlin didn’t know that? Or thought Emma could be stronger? After all he didn’t know he was gonna get tethered to a sword and stuff. So…yeah?
because he can’t see the finer details probably. He put his trust in Arthur but arthur became consumed by merlins words, something merlin didn’t see for himself.
