"Cousin to you back Alba!"
"To think you were part of the circle of the twelve elders that were under my command. Tsk you are as cunning as the descendants of the moon."
Merlin shakes his head as he turned to Look at Alba in his true heavenly beautiful appearance that he has been keeping under the mask of a middle age man:
"Don't act shocked Alba! Somewhere within me, I always knew that you were aware of my identity and presence all along."
Alba laughed heartily as he went to the glass table where a bottle of exotic wine was kept. He poured himself a drink and walked to were Merlin was standing. He swirled the content of the glass with a smirk. After a moment of silence between the two, he finally replied:
"Between being two rivals and half-brothers and you coming into existence, I really can't fathom how it all played out. By the way knowing how arrogant and prideful Loki is, how did you find out the identity of your father?"
