After Arthur was bitten bby the Questing Beast, Kilgharrah advised Merlin to go to the Isle of the Blessed, where Nimueh lived. Merlin was given the Cup of Life by Nimueh and used its waters to heal Arthur. Unfortunately, the life on the line was Merlin's mother, Hunith instead of him. Gaius bartered for his own life when he reunited with Nimueh since the twenty years from their last encounter. Enraged, Merlin killed Nimeuh after striking her with a lightning bolt. Because of Nimueh's death, Gaius was revived by Merlin.
