Chapter 1:

Morgana looked at Merlin. She smiled as she was handed the flask; Merlin was being so kind to her. Why? As she lifted it to her mouth, Merlin stared her down. After flashing him a brief grin, she took a few sips. She sighed as she set the flask down, but soon something was bothering her. Her throat was constricting- she couldn't breathe. Morgana looked at Merlin, mortified as her breaths were shallow and harsh.

Merlin darted forward as she fell, taking her into his arms. She gazed up at him in horror, shaking as she clawed at her throat. Her feeble attempts to breathe started to lose strength as Merlin looked at her, tears welling in his eyes.

"You're the source of the magic, Morgana. I had to." He choked out. In that moment, Morgana realized exactly what she had done. She had destroyed Camelot. As her last breaths of air left her body, Morgana gasped.

"I'm so sorry."

Merlin stared down at her as her last sigh left her lungs, her eyes glazing over, still staring at him. He stared down at Morgana, his tears spilling onto her cooling body. As he sobbed, Morgause slammed into the room. She caught sight of her dead sister in his arms, and her face twisted in grief.

"Call off the attack." Merlin choked out, staring at her. Morgause looked outraged for a moment.

"She would have wanted you to." Merlin said, stretching the truth. Morgause looked at the still Morgana in his arms, and conceded.

She muttered a few ancient words, and Merlin heard the warriors collapse. He heard a sigh of relief from Arthur, and heard the guards stirring. Merlin glanced behind him at Uther- he was twitching. Merlin's breath caught in his throat. What would he say to Uther? To Arthur? Gwen? Gaius? He looked back to Morgause, but she had disappeared. He was left alone, in the room, as Arthur walked towards him, and he heard Uther sit up. Fear coursed through him. What would he say?
