I tell what I see, and you either believe me or you don't. I can't prove anything, but if you don't believe me and allow this to pass, it's your burden to bear as someone who can actually do something about it. Don't try to put the responsibility of inaction on me, I've been trying to do something about this since I learned of it despite hundreds of years of "precedent" knowing most futures can't be fought by one person alone and that there is no way to prove anything until people are begging you not to say "I told you so." Morganna, this is just as annoying as the crap Cassandra had to deal with.

Do you know what comes with great power and thousands of years of living? Wisdom at some point, yeah. Paranoia that keeps you alive fades, and you just want to live in the moment and do whatever keeps life fresh and fun and even when you know it's important, sometimes that little urge to make something spark kicks in and you do something dumb. I'm the same age he is; I may not have seen him in a long while, so I can't speak to recent "precedent" for Merlin, but being old and powerful doesn't make you as careful as people think.
