Rage of the Last High Priestess
It' Merlin."
Morgana had a hard time to breathe because of the shock .For a moment, she froze. Her eyes were wide open. Icy green orbs of her looked poisonous. She looked like a snake ready to strike. She sent Mordred away but his words rang in her ears.
Her destiny and her doom.
He was always under her nose. All the times her path took an important turn, he was there.
The time she had became sure she has magic .Merlin was the one who advised her to see druids. Yet the meddlesome coward servant didn't tell he had magic when she was feeling terrified and alone.
When she had made a decision to join Morgause, the taste of the poison Merlin gave her was in her throat.
When she found out Uther was her father, he showed up out of nowhere and probably stopped her from killing Uther.
He thwarted her in every turn. Still, who would thought of ? A simple servant with all that power!
All the times she cursed her luck, he was behind the shadows.
In Fyrien Castle, Morgause's magic was unbelievably destroyed. Just like the enchantment she casted to restrain Merlin in woods.
Forget all that, that sneaky servant stopped an immortal army. For Triple Goddess' sake!
How could has she been so blind? How could she didn't understand he was using aging spell despite she used the same one to be not recognized?
Emrys' eyes were always familiar. From the moment she saw them, they reminded her someone else's.
Was that what fate planned for her? Arthur had Camelot which she borned to rule, knights' loyalty and Merlin's protection; her maidservant Guinevere had her throne, and Merlin had all the power she envied to have.
"No" she thought. "They are not going to have all."
She would burn the five kingdoms to make all of them pay. She was going to make sure that they will be left with nothing.
She wouldn't risk it this time. Merlin was the first. She would find a way to drain all of his powers from him and turn him into an empty shell. Merlin would pay for turning his back to her.
Then Arthur. With Emrys out of the way, he was nothing. There was no way he could get away from her clutches this time. She was going to take over Camelot and become the Queen. Righting the wrongs Uther and his son did to her kind.
And that wouldn't be over when she become the Queen. Guinevere who betrayed her and stole her throne, Gaius who drugged her, the knights who defied her, the Kingdoms which allied with Arthur- Annis-Rodor-Mithian-Odin, all would pay.
She was going to turn this world to ashes. Until it became her world alone.
