Summary:
There’s another world where Arthur is an exiled prince for committing treason against the crown, for stopping Merlin’s execution, for not letting the sorcerer be killed to further the king’s blind crusade against magic. With Excalibur and magic on their side, Arthur and Merlin escape to a different world when the king’s men catch up to them.

It’s lucky that Excalibur can do more than strike men down in battle…

Chapter 3: Merlin receives a warning and realizes that he can’t hold off on telling Arthur about what he fears most. They spend some time in the Shadow World, where spirits of the dead dwell…

A/N: A bit of a His Dark Materials crossover where Arthur and Merlin both have daemons (their souls are outside of their bodies and are in animal form).
