Takes place more or less after the very last ep of Merlin.
They were connected to the end. Just like how Merlin and Arthur are two sides of the same coin, Merlin and Morgana are also two sides of the same coin, albeit a different coin. Their relationship was definitely a unique one, unlike the one Merlin had with Arthur. It was probably more. Maybe love. The first time Merlin set his eyes on Morgana, he thought she was a beautiful goddess. The first time Morgana set her eyes on Merlin, she thought he was kinda cute and maybe bring Excitement to her life. Never in million years would they think their life would be tied like that of Merlin and Arthur. As life would have it, they became enemies, always fighting, yet never letting Arthur know about Merlin's magic. In the end, they still fought each other even when it seemed hopeless.
"I finally found you Merlin... or should I say Emrys," Morgana's eyes was filled hatred.
"I won't let you kill Arthur! I WILL kill you if I have to!" Merlin yelled with so much anguish in his eyes.
"Doesn't matter. He's dying. You won't save him in time. Give up already."
"Never! He's my friend and Albion needs him. It's also my destiny and I will make sure he lives!" He yelled but tears were streaming down his face. Even as he said it, somewhere in him Merlin knew he wouldn't make it in time.
"Still the noble servant to the end," Morgana smirked. "I think I will let you go. It's more fun watching you cry when you finally realize you can't save him. We'll meet again soon Emrys." With a laugh Morgana left. Merlin was hoping Morgana would be wrong but few days later Arthur died. Even calling the Great Dragon Kilgharrah didn't work.
"In Albion's greatest time of need will Arthur rise again. Yours and even Morgana's destiny are not yet over," Kilgharrah said.
"What do you mean mine and Morgana's destiny! What does she have to do with my destiny!" Merlin yelled.
"By not killing her at this point, you guys have changed your own destinies. For better or for worse. It has been a pleasure Merlin and never forget the great deeds you have created." And Kilgharrah flew off never to be seen. Merlin hated the way the Great Dragon was being cryptic, but he also knew the words held some importance. Still he put it behind him until years and years later on a cold wet day, Merlin and Morgana was lying next to each other with fresh wounds on their bodies.
"Well..this is certainly unexpected," Morgana was panting hard, looking at Merlin.
"Give it up...Morgana...you cannot win this..." Merlin lied next to her panting, eyes on Morgana.
"Never...I will...always be after you...whether in this...life...or the next."
"Doesn't have...to be this...way. We can...do great things...I love you Morgana..." Merlin cried out.
Morgana smiled. "I know but...you're too late. I'm dying...unless Aithusa saves me," but then they both heard a crack. Morgana looked up and saw a large tree branch falling. With her last strength she pushed Merlin out of the way. Merlin was saved but Morgana was crushed instantly...but she had a smile on her face.
"No! Morgana, I will find you in the next life!" Merlin yelled. Slowly though Merlin was losing his breath. What Morgana hadn't realised when saving him was that days earlier, a poisonous snake had bit him when he went looking for her. He should've been more careful but he was desperate to look for her, to end it once and for all. His magic couldn't save him since it wasn't magical and he didn't have the antidote. Merlin was going to die either way, he just didn't think it would this soon. Still, for what it's worth, he'll die knowing Morgana still had some good in her.
"It's a promise..." Merlin whispered and took his last breath, but also with a smile. Even when he died, it was a promise the he was determined to keep. After all, they were also two sides of the same coin.

I do not own Merlin
I own any original characters you see here (though I highly highly doubt there will be any).
If there's any grammatical errors, let me know and I'll fix it. I'm usually good about it but the lack of sleep is making me see things lol.
.
First Merlin fic and hopefully I did okay. I know there's lots of reincarnate fics but mine won't necessarily connect. Each chapter is more like stand alone so you can skip around. Haha and oh man I seriously have to ask. Who's a Big Bang fan here? If you're a fan then big news! G- Dragon will have A WORLD CONCERT! WOOOOO! So...when I found out GD was going to have a concert...I kinda forgot what I wanted to say XD XD XD When I remember, I'll come back and edit this XD If not, then I'll just leave this as it is (which is very highly likely) XD This is seriously big big BIG NEWS. VIP FOR LIFE! XD *ahem* ANYWAY! Hopefully I got Kilgharrah right. I actually stopped watching Merlin after series 2 and watched the very last ep of the series. Sad Arthur died and very surprising at the end too! Oh yea and Merlin dying from poisonous snake...well, I gotta do something lol. Let's just call it artistic license XD

I hope you like this chapter and leave a review! It lets me know if you guys love or hate this and it is good for motivations!
