Arthur has been crowned King of Camelot, but his kingdom is under threat from the dark forces that lurk outside its borders. In the season 4 premiere of Merlin, titled "The Darkest Hour – Part One of Two," we see the beginnings of one of the most ambitious story arcs in the show's history.

The episode opens with Camelot besieged by a group of monstrous creatures known as the Dorocha. These ghostly entities are immune to weapons and are impossible to stop once they set their sights on a target. They are said to be the spirits of people who died violent deaths, and they have been summoned to Camelot by an unknown enemy.

Merlin is summoned to the throne room to meet with Gaius and Arthur. The young warlock has a feeling that something terrible is about to happen, and he is right. Gaius informs him that the Dorocha are approaching Camelot, and they are close to breaching the castle walls.

Arthur is visibly shaken by the news, but he refuses to leave Camelot and abandon his people. Instead, he decides to lead his knights into battle against the Dorocha, hoping to find a way to defeat them and save his kingdom. Merlin is determined to help his friend and king, but he knows that magic may be the only weapon that can stop the Dorocha.

Merlin sets off on a perilous quest to seek the help of the legendary sorcerer Emrys in defeating the Dorocha. He travels deep into the forest, where he encounters a mysterious druid woman who warns him of the dangers ahead. Merlin presses on, determined to uncover the truth about Emrys and his power.

Meanwhile, back in Camelot, Arthur and his knights venture out into the darkness, knowing that the Dorocha could strike at any moment. As they journey through the forest, they encounter a group of people who are fleeing from the Dorocha. Among them is a young girl named Elyan, who is searching for her father.

Arthur and his knights join forces with the refugees, hoping to find a way to avoid the Dorocha and reach safety. They make a shocking discovery when they come across a ruined temple that holds a strange relic. The relic has the power to summon the Dorocha, and it is protected by a powerful enchantment.

As the night wears on, the Dorocha draw ever closer to Camelot. Merlin is racing against time to find Emrys, while Arthur and his knights fight to stay alive in the face of overwhelming odds. The fate of Camelot hangs in the balance as the Darkest Hour looms.

"The Darkest Hour – Part One" is a tense, action-packed episode that sets the stage for an epic storyline. It is a testament to the creators of Merlin that they are able to raise the stakes so high in the show's fourth season. Fans of the show are sure to be on the edge of their seats as they wait to see how this battle unfolds.
