Camlann battlefield
It was early before the crack of dawn when Merlin reached the future battlefield. The battlefield that had been poisoning his sleep for such a very long time.
The Dragon Lord passed by the sleepy Saxon guards that were supposed to protect the headquarters of Morgana's territory. Well, he was dusguised as a bird so he should give them some credit for their mistake. He stopped at the entrance of the "queen's" tent. It was hardly fit for a queen, but she was hardly a queen. Merlin didn't want to know what she'd done to gain the authority over such an army. Yet he didn't stop there. He cast a glance over her sleeping body and then he left the tent. Morgana wasn't his priority in that moment.
He found Mordred not far from that place. He was sitting around the fire. His fury was mixed with grief. For a moment, Merlin felt sorry for the boy. Merlin knew pretty well what meant to lose someone dear to you, but it didn't excuse Mordred's betrayal, did it?
Yet he didn't want to kill him. He simply want to stop the boy from killing Arthur and going to his own death. The warlock's eyes shone amber and soon instead of a dark-haired knight there was a ginger fox. The fox glanced at him for a moment then he ran deep in the forest.
One problem solved, time for the next problem - Morgana.
The witch was still asleep. He hadn't seen her so seren for such a very long time. She looked so innocent just like a little girl. Merlin tried to rezist the temptation of taking her in his arms and caressing her. Yet he stopped. Instead he casted a spell on her and soon she was replaced by a dark kitten. She rolled playfully while still asleep without realizing she'd been changed.
Now he finally took her in his arms and headed towards Arthur's tent.
She woke up in the arms of the knights who couldn't rezist her charm.
As soon as they saw Merlin they hurried to him. They'd been worried for him. Even those who hadn't had the chance to spend much time with him had ended up caring for the clumsy servant. Then the stopped as they noticed the cute little cat. And they started to fight for the cat which didn't make Morgana quite happy. She tried to run away. She used her claws and she wasn't able to do much. Her face was precious. That plus the fact that only Merlin could understand what she said. Not that it was something interesting. For the rest it was all just miaws and miaws.
Eventually they let her go and Merlin had to climb a tree in order to get her back.
"If you don't come back I swear I will turn you into a worm." He threatened her mentally completly aware she could hear him. Finally she surrendered for fear of him keeping his promise, but she was unable to climb down. In fact little did she know how she'd managed to get there.
