It was a perfect day, the sun was shinning. It was one of those days where it seemed like nothing could go wrong, but for the knights of Camelot there was always something bound to go wrong.
It was noon, when they stopped by a stream to take a break. Merlin and the knights were laughing because, Sir Gwaine had managed to fall into the river.
"It's odd." Leon said, when they had all stopped laughing, "It's a perfect day, yet, it's really quiet."
"I was thinking the same thing." Arthur said, unsheathing his sword, "I suggest you keep a sword close to you."
Merlin looked at Arthur, then to Mordred. Mordred gave Merlin a look, they were thinking the same think. Morgana.
"Do you feel it?" Mordred's voice echoed in Merlin's head. "There is strong magic here. And it's not yours."
"I know, I feel it as well." Merlin said back to Mordred, "I knew something didn't feel right."
"Be careful, Emrys." Mordred said, standing up. "She still doesn't know that you have magic."
Merlin got up and walked over to Arthur, who was petting his Blue Roam mare.
"Let me guess Merlin. You have a funny feeling." Arthur said, not turning around to look at Merlin.
"Yes, Mordred and I both do."
"Merlin. I'll be fine." Arthur says, turning around to face Merlin, "It is you who needs to make sure Morgana doesn't figure out your secret."
"And she won't" Melrin replies, "And plus, I can take care of my self you dollophead."
All the sudden an arrow hits the tree above Arthurs head. The knights grab there swords and are ready to fight, when the attackers come out of the trees from all sides.
"Merlin!" Mordred yells, "Behind you!"
Merlin turns just in time to see two bandits, with swords coming at him.
"Flêogan bæc cwide" Merlin says, with his eyes glowing yellow. His attackers fly back and hit a tree hard.
"Myntan ðæge pro frêosan." A familiar voice says. All the sudden the knights and Merlin are unable to move. Merlin tries to think of a spell to help. Until the voice speaks again, "Stillnes ðæge pro hnot faran importantsprec wordlian".
Merlin closes his eyes, hoping that this is all a bad dream, but when a women comes out from behind the tree's, he knows that this is all real.
"Well if it isn'tmy dear brother." Morgana says evilly, "and his nights, and pet sorcerers."
Morgana looked over at He men and gave them a small nod. Soon the knights were being chained. As Merlin was being chained, he felt that something was off. His magic was slipping away from him. He looked over at Mordred, by the look on his face he knew
that the same thing was happening to him.
"Not so powerful now are we Merlin and Mordred." Morgana says smiling, "your magic can't aid you now."
"Forl¯ætan ðâsm¯ælan spellian" Morganasaid, "tie the knights to the horses, only the knight."
"Morgana! What do you want!" Arthur says as he was being dragged off by three guards. Then he noticed the two sorcerers weren't being taken as well. "What do you want with them!"
"I don't have to answer any of your questions." Morgana says, and then Arthur and the knights are gone. "I should have known you had magic, Merlin." She walks over in front of them as they were pushed on their knees. "You of all people. Well sadly, I'm
not alone. I did some research, I learned how to bring the dead back."
"That's not possible." Was all Mordred said.
"But it is, I think you have some unfinished business with them. Am I not correct?" As she said this Cenred, Morguase, Kanen, and Agravaine came out of the tree line. Merlin tried to struggle from being held down, but had no avail. "Poor Merlin, doesn't
want to play our little game."
"What ever sick game you have going on Morgana, I don't want any part in it." Merlin said coldly, that sent a chill downMordred'sback, "I will never betray Arthur or Camelot."
"Not even for your mother?" Merlin looked shocked at Morgana, she wouldn't dare to threaten Hunith. "What about Gwen? The knights? Arthur? I will kill them all, if you don't do exactly as I say."
"And what makes you think I will. If you kill them you will have no more leverage over me."
"Take them to the castle. I think our little game will begin."
With that Merlin and Mordred were gagged and thrown over a horse. They rode for almost a day when they arrived at the seaside castle, that Gwen had been captured in once. They were dragged into the large throne room that the Arthur was also in.
"Well, i think we will begin." Morgana says with a wicked smile on her face, "oh but first, Arthur do you want to say hello to your uncle." Agravaine walked out from behind the throne. Arthur was in shock as Merlin and Mordred were shoved on their knees
next to Arthur. "No hello uncle? Didn't Uther teach you not to be rude?"
"How?" Arthur said, staring at his uncle, "You died."
"Thanks to Morgana, I'm alive again." Agravaine said, taking a step towards Merlin, "Your troublesome servant may have magic, but with those cuffs on. He doesn't have any power." As Agravaine was talking Arthur looked worried at Merlin. Merlin tried to
give a reassuring smile, but Arthur could tell thru Merlins facade that,he was worried.
"What do you want Morgana?" Arthur said, in his kingly voice. "Why don't you go ahead and tell us what you want."
"Oh dear brother. I don't plan on telling you everything at once." Morgana said, walking till she was inches away from Arthur's face, "I think I night in the dungeons should do you all some good."
