Title: Mistress of Power

Warning: Spoilers for season 3.

Summary: Sequel to Servant of Magic. Four weeks have past since Arthur, Lancelot, Gwaine and Merlin escaped the Isle of the Blessed, Morgana is finally back and ready to fight again, but what reason does Nimueh have for coming back to Camelot? And is it just a coincidence that they show up at the same time?

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin, just using it for some non-profit fun.

Author's Note: This is for all the people who asked for a sequel, I hope it can live up to Servant of Magic and everyone enjoys it just as much.

Chapter 1

Merlin's POV

Of course the royal prat of Camelot just had to jinx everything.

Four peaceful weeks had passed since escaping the Isle of the Blessed. No evil sorcerers, no backstabbing dragons, no run away druids, and most importantly; no Morgana.

With a lot of help from Arthur, Uther had been able to take back the throne, and now he was more or less ruling the kingdom on his own, only needing Arthur's advice on a few subjects; mostly about magic.

For once in my life, I was able to sit back and relax. Well, by relax I mean be at Arthur's beck and call all day and do all the chores, but afterwards I didn't have to do anything.

Then Arthur went and ruined it all.

We were in Arthur's chambers, I'd just finished polishing Arthur's armour and was about to start scrubbing the floors. The fabulous life of a servant.

"I wonder what happened to Morgana," Arthur said.

Brilliant. Goodbye peaceful life.

"You had to say it didn't you," I moaned, throwing the brush at him.

"What? What did I say?" He asked, ducking the brush.

"You just had to jinx it. Now she'll turn up demanding revenge for the death of her sister. Again," I groaned.

"What on earth are you babbling on about Merlin?" He demanded, looking severely confused.

"You! You wanting to know what happened to Morgana, I'm willing to bet my left foot she turns up in at least a week!" I said.

"Don't be such a fool Merlin," Arthur snorted.

"You just wait," I muttered, wandering over to retrieve the brush.

As it happened, we didn't even have to wait a week before news of Morgana reached us. It was only three days after our conversation that a look out knight reported an army heading towards Camelot, led by Morgana.

A/N: I know it's only short, think of it as a prologue if you want. Please review and tell me what you think, I'll try to get the next chapter up soon, and hopefully it will be longer. Review. :)
