Disclaimer: I can dream, but I do not own Merlin. *Sigh.*
This time, Merlin's a Seer, he tells Morgana about magic, throw in another freaky character and what d'you get? THIS STORY! YAAY! (I hope, anyway.)
The quality will be quite bad at first but it gets better as I go on and starting a story is always hardest; I manage to mangle it especially well
Set in series 2 episode 3, Morgana is feeling lost and looks to Merlin for help but gets more than she bargained for.
Morgana felt slightly sorry for Merlin. She had just burst in, quite late at night, and started venting her suspicions about magic and demanding to see Gaius. He let her blab for a bit, then, when she took a pause, said, "Gaius will be back soon. He'll be able to help you."
"He won't. I don't want any more remedies. They don't do any good!" Morgana burst out before she could stop herself. Trying to preserve some of her dignity, and feeling that, for some reason, she could trust him entirely, she said in a calmer tone, "It's magic, Merlin."
The boy froze for a second. Though Morgana couldn't see it from his body language, his mind was racing. She has nightmares like me, the same ones as me some nights. She could be like me, a Seer and a Sorcerer. But can I trust her?
Something decided for him, for the words escaped Merlin's mouth without consent, "Can I trust you, Morgana?"
Clearly, this was not what Morgana had expected, for she paused before regaining her composure and managing in a small voice, "Of course you can."
Merlin hesitated, but then thought, No going back now, and, looking at one of the candles he had just put out, he said in a clear voice, "Forbærne." The candle lit instantly. Morgana gasped and stepped back once, shock clear on her face.
"Magic..."
"Magic."
There was a moment's silence between them. Neither wanted to speak first, but Morgana felt that she should let her friend (for she was now sure that's what he was) know that his secret was entirely safe with her.
"All this time, they took you as a clumsy fool who couldn't keep a secret to save his own neck, and that's exactly what you've been doing."
"So it would seem. You have to understand that magic does not twist your soul or make you evil. Magic is neither good nor evil, it depends on what you use it for, Morgana, and I couldn't imagine you, of all people, turning evil."
Another silence lapsed between them. Again, it was Morgana to break it.
"Merlin?"
"Yes?"
"Thank you. Your secret is safe with me. Could you….. could you teach me about magic? How to control it? You don't…." Morgana trailed off hopefully.
"Of course Morgana, providing I survive telling Gaius that I've told you."
My first story! YAAY! Review and tell me if I'm rubbish or not please! I know it's a little…. Bad but it will get better (or maybe not). :P
