This is a crazy idea I had while watching some Morgana/Damon videos on YouTube. Since these two characters have always fascinated me, I thought, why not try to write a fiction about them, together? So, here I am. I really hope you like it. This is just the prologue. If enough people like the idea, I'll continue writing the story, otherwise I'll abandon the idea because I have already started a lot of stories. Tell me what you think and if it's worth it.

LEGEND IN THE FLESH

The Vampire Diaries/Merlin Cross-Over. TVD Season 3, episode 5 'The Reckoning', ending scene between Katherine and Jeremy. Merlin after season3 finale - but Morgana is already a High Priestess by the end of season3 -.

Summary: When Katherine and Jeremy entered in the 'Pickett' crypt to awake Mikael, they unintentionally wake up someone else first, someone more than one thousands years old: the Lady Morgana Pendragon of Camelot.

When Morgana loses the throne, after finally being able to become Queen, she flees the castle with a dying Morgause in her arms. Morgause tells her that as long as Arthur is alive, she won't ever be able to become and stay Queen of Camelot but that killing him is more difficult than either of them had anticipated. Morgause is dying so she won't be able to help her sister. But she can still do something for Morgana. There is a spell that can put her in a deep sleep and preserve her body so that she can wake up only when what she desires most can become possible. At that point, Morgana won't need to kill Arthur herself, time will do it for her. Once woken up, she will finally be able to take what's rightfully hers with no Arthur getting in the way. Unfortunately Morgana wakes up much farther in time that she was anticipating and in a different Continent entirely. So now the question is, what is it that she desires the most and that she can obtained there?

Pairing: Damon/Morgana. A little Damon/Elena and Morgana/Elijah probably too, but just a little because I'm not a fan of love triangles. However, since Damon is definately in love with Elena at this point, it will be really weird for him to suddenly fall in love with someone else. So, yes, a little Delena is necessary and Morgana needs to have another love interest in the meantime. Hope it's okay for you. The rest of the couples are canon. So Stefan/Elena too unfortunately.

Disclaimer: I'll say this only once. I don't own 'The Vampire Diaries' (books or TV Show) or 'Merlin' nor do I make money by writing this story.

Prologue

A Cemetery in Charlotte, North Carolina.

"How do you know that Anna wasn't tricking you?" Katherine immediately asked him as soon as they arrived in front of the crypt they were looking for. It was not different from all the other crypts in the cemetery and Jeremy wondered why someone would choose this particular one. Jeremy refrained from rolling his eyes at Katherine's paranoia and answered her question.

"This is the place." He said, while looking through the bars of the crypt's door. He could see only a tomb in the centre of the crypt even if he thought there was another one behind, but he couldn't be sure. "It's the oldest wing of the largest cemetery in Charlotte." He explained to Katherine while they made their way inside. "She said that a witch entombed him here in the nineties."

They looked around once inside and as soon as they notice the tomb in front of them, they went closer to it as one. They didn't see the one against the wall, hidden in the shadows.

The tomb in front of them was pristine white and seemed strangely old, with carvings all over it. Jeremy's instincts were screaming at him that there was something wrong with this picture. After all, the tomb they were supposed to be looking for, should be no more than two decades old. This one seemed centuries old.

But before he could warn Katherine of this fact, she moved the lid of the tomb with her vampire strength and looked inside. Jeremy looked too and widened his eyes.

"Hum, I don't think this is Mikael. Unless Mikael is a beautiful, raven-haired woman dressed in medieval clothes." Jeremy couldn't help but comment, his tone heavy with sarcasm. Katherine turned to glare at him.

"Obviously. But if he's not in this tomb, then where is he?" She started to look around frantically and finally noticed the other tomb present in the crypt. She walked up to it but Jeremy couldn't move from his position. He was stacked, staring in wonder at the figure in front of him.

How was it possible that she was so well preserved? It was obvious that she had died a long time ago but her body appeared untouched by time, like she had died just a few minutes before.

"Ah, here he is." Katherine exclaimed aloud. Jeremy barely spared her a look before turning his gaze once again towards the tomb in front of him.

This time, though, he noticed something that he hadn't noticed before. While before the carvings in the tomb had been completely unintelligible, now they were written in perfectly understandable English.

The writing said: "Here lies Lady Morgana Pendragon, Queen of Camelot, High Priestess of the Triple Goddess, daughter of King Uther Pendragon and sister of King Arthur Pendragon. May one day return to us and continue what she has started".

Jeremy widened his eyes and called out to Katherine in a frantic voice: "Katherine!" Katherine didn't even turn around, too intent to awake Mikael who seemed completely unresponsive besides his wide open eyes.

"Katherine!" He tried again. Katherine turned around to glare at him before asking in an obviously irritated voice. "What is it little Gilbert? Can't you see that I'm a little busy right now, trying to wake up Mikael. You know, our only chance of survival against Klaus." She finished sarcastically.

"You need to come here right now." Jeremy said, ignoring her words. Katherine sighed in annoyance but did as she was told. Jeremy didn't say anything else. He just indicated with his hand the writings of the tomb.

Now, there wasn't a lot that surprised Katherine Pierce, but this was definitely something that even her wasn't expecting.

"Morgana Pendragon?" She asked in a whisper. "That Morgana? The Morgana of the Arthurian legends? The Evil Witch? King Arthur's half-sister/lover/sworn enemy?"

"It seems so." Jeremy replied, stunned as much as she was.

Katherine began to laugh at that. "Who's going to tell Damon now?"

Jeremy wondered the same thing. Then with a sigh, he picked up the phone and called him. Damon answered as the third ring. "Please, tell me you found him. Because I just finished telling Klaus that we knew where his Dear Daddy was and I would really like that to be true or we're totally screwed."

Jeremy breathed deeply and looked at Katherine one more time before answering Damon's question. "Yes, we found him. And we found something else too. You better come here as fast as you can."
