Summary: Morgana's point of view between season 2 and 3.
For my people, that is why he must die. Uther Pendragon has condemned my people to die in agonizing pain. We live in fear of his power; we spend every day of our lives oppressing who we truly are just to survive. I spent endless days suffering alone, repulsed with myself, and afraid of my own abilities. I was terrified that one day, I would fail myself, and be burned like the ones before me. I would be left out on the stake to rot; used as a symbol of fear amongst the subjects of Camelot. I fear all of my friends would leave me, terrified of who I truly am. This is no way to live.
My time with Morgause has altered my view. She counseled me when I thought no one would listen and understand my troubles. She felt these same fears, yet she has grown to accept herself. She has shown me how to be strong and use my gifts to their full capacity. Now I know. Magic is a force that should looked upon with respect amongst the people of this land. Uther is just a selfish and stubborn old fool, too consumed by his hate and loss to see true justice. He is blind to the tragedy he has caused to those around him. I have seen his merciless persecution of those who practice sorcery, even those who are simply accused. Too many innocent men, women, and children have been slaughtered at the hands of this cruel king.
This kind of rulership is a plague, and must be rid of. Uther must die for his toxic views, and Arthur… the poor boy has no chance. He is too susceptible to his father's will. There is no doubt he would continue to condemn my people to death in the name of his father. He must be rid of as well.
I know who I am. I know I am a Pendragon, and it is I who will take the thrown.
I am destined to become Queen of Camelot.
