Morgana was aware that she was lying on the castle floor, up ahead she could see Merlin wiping tears away from his eyes. He was saying something but it was inaudible to Morgana's ears. The hemlock that morgana had consumed in the water Merlin had given her, was traveling through her body paralysing her a little at a time, Morgana did not know this and was only aware of lying on the castle floor. She looked at Merlin's sad eyes and blinked her own emerald green eyes. She was surprised by the emotion she was feeling,
Forgiveness.
Of course Morgana understood Merlin's motives and knew deep down that she would have done the same thing. She was dying and knew that it would be better to forgive him, in her last minutes instead of condemning him, anyway there was nothing she could do to and she was almost lifeless. Then came a voice and she could feel her head being raised onto a lap. A conversation arose between Merlin and Morgause.
"What has he done to you? " Morgause stated to Morgana, who could not reply.
Merlin faced Morgause "I had to."
"You poisoned her!"
"You gave me no choice." Merlin replied bluntly
"Tell me what you used and I can save her."
"First, stop the attack!"
"You're nothing but a simple servant! You don't tell me what to do!"
"If you want to know what poison it is, you will undo the magic that drives the knights!"
"Tell me the poison or you'll die!"
"Then she'll die with me. I don't want this any more than you, but you give me no choice. Stop the knights and you can save her."
Morgause was distraught she couldn't let Morgana die, she just couldn't, morgana was too precious to her. She started chanting a spell "Astýre ús þanonweard! Cnihtas Medhires, éower sáwla. Rid eft ond forsliehð eft." Outside the knights went still. Merlin showed the bottle of Hemlock to Morgause, who gave a slight nod.
Prince Arthur ran in, "Morgana," he cried out but it was too late, Morgause was already casting a spell
"Keep away from her! Bedyrne ús! Astýre ús þanonweard!"
And then they were gone, with a puff of smoke.
Dear readers, I hope you enjoy reading this fanfic, I've never really focused on Morgana and Morgause before, so hopefully you will enjoy reading it as much as I am enjoying writing it (which is a lot XD)
