0:26
remember before you judge
0:29
me it all seems so obvious now doesn't
0:33
it the right thing to
0:36
do it wasn't back then and you can trust
0:42
that we were on the brink of losing the
0:45
war and wars aren't won with wishful
0:50
thinking there was no clean path no
0:56
only the weight of reality pressing down
1:01
necks something had to be done or
1:04
everything we fought for would have been
1:08
vain and in the end the ones who stepped
1:12
forward who chose to pay the price made
1:18
possible and their deaths gave Merlin
1:21
the knowledge he needed to finish his
1:24
work to find something that could really
1:40
no justification is for those who have
1:43
the luxury of doubt and I had a kingdom
1:49
they were brave men who volunteered
1:51
their lives just as they did every time
2:00
battle needed one man's sacrifice could
2:05
have saved us all could have ended the
2:08
war before more blood was spilled if
2:12
sacrificing a few meant the survival of
2:15
all then there was no choice at all
2:21
justice maybe their real stories were
2:30
madness but if I'd done
2:33
nothing there would be no Avalon left to
2:37
over but the kingdom still stands the
2:43
live and that has to mean
2:53
did but this wasn't about pride it
3:02
survival the truth about all
3:05
this would have broken my people
3:11
that and a king doesn't get to
3:15
flinch if that meant carrying the weight
3:20
it i would make that choice again if I
3:28
to i told him to stop the experiments on
3:38
he started experimenting on the four
3:43
enemy if their bodies could be broken
3:47
down their power turned against them
3:51
wasn't that their own doing wasn't that
3:56
fair so he figured out how to twist the
3:59
Four Dweller's power into something we
4:03
wield i told him to conquer the
4:12
did he found a way to make me stronger
4:16
stronger than any man had the right to
4:23
magic it was something deeper
4:27
older a force that reshaped
4:32
me and with it we won
4:36
the war ended avalon was ours the
4:40
bloodshed stopped the banners were
4:43
raised and the kingdom stood
4:49
safe that's the question isn't
4:53
it i keep thinking about
4:57
Seawir he was ready to pay the ultimate
5:00
price for what we were fighting
5:03
for and I thought he did
5:07
him told myself his sacrifice had
5:11
meaning that he had given his life for
5:19
years finding him like
5:22
this I told myself I carried the weight
5:31
him I wonder if I ever truly did
