I'll Be

by Valkyriexx

"She means everything to me... I can't lose her; not now." "We'll get her back, Merlin. I promise." It's been two years since Merlin returned, but Morgana is stirring once more. With both his heart, and his destiny on the line, Merlin will have to find the courage to face her one last time. Sequel to "Against All Odds" No slash! I don't own Merlin!

1. Prologue

Happy New Year! I'm back! This is the sequel to Against All Odds! If anyone has any title recommendations, please let me know. I'm still not sure on it...

Slightly off topic, I know I'm not the only one who is heart broken by the finale. That really wasn't fair... Poor Merlin. And poor Arthur. So, to make up for it, there's going to be lots of Arwen and Meyla (thank you to Dobby134 for the name) romance, and lots of Merlin/Arthur bromance.

This is just the prologue for now; I'm halfway through my January exams, but I've taken a break from revision to write this. The rest of the chapters will come later on, once I have more free time.

Enjoy!

Prologue

The witch let out a frustrated scream, slamming her hands down on the table. Behind her, the druid narrowed his eyes, glaring at the window.

'He got lucky.'

'He's been lucky for six years!' she snapped, whirling around to face him. 'Six years, Mordred!'

Mordred said nothing, moving away from her and seating himself by the extinguished fire. 'We need to get rid of him.'

Morgana let out a disbelieving laugh. 'Because that worked so well last time!'

'Then we try something different!'

She growled, swiping her hand across the table, the tarnished plates colliding with the wall. 'Then what would you have us do, Mordred?' she snarled. 'We've tried everything to kill him... Everything! But he just won't die!'

Mordred rolled his eyes. 'We've been taking this in the wrong direction; spending years trying to kill Emrys, when we should have been focusing our attentions somewhere else.'

Morgana looked up from the table, a frown creasing her forehead. There was a glint of something in her companions' eyes... The same look she had seen when he'd first approached her with Emrys' identity over two years ago. 'What would you suggest?'

And Mordred smiled.

Very short, but it is just the prologue. The rest of the chapters will be much longer.

Please leave a review! Reviews are amazing motivators! And yes, I know this prologue is similar to another of my stories... But it fits.

Until next time...
