Morgan felt a scream go through her head.
"Mordred." she said out loud her voice filled with panic, he was suppose to be safe with their father. She knew stopping at Camelot was a bad idea, she quickly hid her packs deep within a tree and quickly made her way to Camelot where her brother needed her. She pushed her way through the crowd to see her father, Cerdan about to be executed . He spotted her in the crowd as he addressed Uther Pendragon. He spoke to her through his thoughts;
"Protect him, Morgan and do not show your feelings, wear a mask and do not let it slip."
Then the executioner brought down his sword, she felt her brother scream in her head showing that he was near but she starred at her fathers head, without emotion.
If she was truthful she felt free, free from him and the thing that was her mother, who created her to destroy Uther Pendragon on her own personal vengeance mission. She searched the lower town up and down and even dared to use magic which kept pointing to the castle. She searched for days through every part of the town before in her desperation she found herself at the door of Gauis, Camelot's physician. She knocked three times before the door opened.
"What can I do for you?" an old man asked
"Gauis?" she questioned
"Yes who are you?"
"May I come in and I will tell you what I can."
Gauis stood aside and allowed the girl in, she froze where she stood when she saw him in grubby clothes, his messy black hair and those ridiculous ears. She felt herself blush causing him to look at her in confusion. She bowed her head and greeted him
"Emrys."
Gauis looked in shock at the girl, who removed her hood completely, her dark curls fell freely round her heart shaped face, her bright blue eyes filled slightly with fear.
"You have nothing to fear here." Merlin said softly to her moving towards her to try and calm her.
"It is not my life I fear for but my brother's." she replied "He is but a child and he is all I have left, my father is dead." she spotted a flash of recognisation in his eyes.
"You know of whom I speak please tell me where he is, he must be kept safe, my life is worthless without his light."
"Merlin." Gauis said in anger "I told you not to get involved."
"Please just give me my brother, and we will never darken your door again." she pleaded tears filling her eyes as she clung to his shirt.
"What is your name?" he asked
"Morgan, Morgan Le Fey." She replied hiding her tears, Merlin lifted up her head to meet his eyes.
"I will take you to your brother Morgan, but you need to leave Camelot." she nodded, he took her hand and led her to Morgana's chambers.
He knocked and said "Its Merlin." a maid opened the door and almost denied her entry but she pushed past her and ran to her brother.
"Mordred." she said softly in his head, she got no reply she looked at his wound and saw it to be seeping with infection.
She began chanting in the words of the old religion. Morganna and Merlin watched as her eyes glowed gold and the boys flesh emptied the poison and then began to knit back together, then his fever broke. Merlin grabbed her as she sagged with exshaustion.
"I'm alright." she said to him, as the boy began to wake.
"Morgan." escaped his lips in a hoarse voice. Morgan pulled him to her as she cried with joy.
"I'm here little brother, I am here." she cried into his shoulder as he returned her embrace.
Morgan broke away
"Thank you Lady Morgana and you Merlin."
"We will help you escape." Morgana said feircely
"I cannot ask that of you." Morgan replied slipping her hand in Mordred's.
"But we will still do it."
"I can get out of Camelot, but getting him out will be a lot harder." she turned to Mordred kissing his forehead.
"Of course, you are only young, we will help you."
"My Lady , I am almost sixteen but I have felt far older than that since I found out my path that I much follow and the death that lingers there." she said softly.
Merlin looked at her shock, he needed to ask the dragon about her.
