Merlin 2012
The early morning sun was casting shadows through the leaves of the trees, Merlin didn't mind though, he was used to being up early, and he did it at least once a week to pick herb's for Gaius. He looked around the base of an old Oak tree, seeing several button-cap mushrooms around its base. He picked them and put them in the small basket he was carrying, then stood, looking around and moving over to pick some of the Belladonna growing nearby.
"Well, I didn't expect to find you of all people" her voice floated across the clearing, Merlin turned watching as Morgana stepped out and moved towards him.
"How nice, my new friends didn't even have to go to the city for their first victim" she said.
"What do you want Morgana?" Merlin asked, feeling his magic beginning to swirl up.
"Oh, just a small favour from you" she said. "Like your death" she added as her eyes narrowed, and around her several large savage looking beasts appeared. Merlin looked at them.
"They're called the Skree" she said. Merlin stepped back, causing her to smile. "I see you've heard of them" she said.
"Morgana you're playing with powerful magic here" Merlin warned her.
"Really? Oh I guess I should send them away then" she said as she stepped forwards. "Merlin, when you have an inch of the power I do, perhaps then you can lecture me" she sneered. Merlin looked at her, then at the Skree, before suddenly hitting her with the basket and knocking her slightly off balance. He ran forwards, even as behind him Morgana turned and held out her hands.
"Corflaugs!" she yelled, A moment later Merlin went flying to land roughly against a tree. Slowly she walked over to him.
"I take it back Merlin. I'm going to enjoy killing you myself" she admitted, holding up her hands.
"Shontas" she intoned, as a second later Merlin looked up, and she could have sworn for a moment his eyes had glowed, but then it was gone, instead there was a brilliant flash and then there was nothing except two wisps of smoke where Merlin had been laying and Morgana had been standing. The Skree for their part slowly looked at each other, then turned towards Camelot.
Merlin landed with a thud on soft grass, Morgana in a similar state not to far from him. Quickly, he got to his feet and moved away from her, through the nearby trees, his neckerchief becoming caught on a branch. He removed it and quickly moved forwards, as behind him he heard Morgana beginning to stir. Only one thing mattered at the moment. Arthur. He had to warn Arthur.
