Or the dark one we saw was Nimue. she wouldnt trap him after he claims herself is the woman he loves most? Merlin could not bring himself to kill that Dark One, and the same is probably in reverse.... why else would the Dark One not kill Merlin? Merlin specifically says the Dark One (or maybe he was talking to the Darkness itself) destroyed the woman he loves most. We know that the Darkness seeks out and finds a person's own darkness and amplifies it, twisting their actions in spite of their intentions. I think that would qualify as "destroying" someone. So it is possible that Nimue was that particular Dark One, but until we have definitive proof, this is still speculation. If it was Nimue though, the question would be whether she was the first, and if she was the first DO, why did Merlin choose to tie the darkness to her soul? Was it Merlin's choice, or did she do as Emma did, taking on the Darkness to save someone else?
