Hi there! This is our first story so feel free to point out any errors or suggestions for the story. We've got a vague idea but we are open to ideas! Enjoy and please review, it makes us write faster! :D
This story is set at the beginning of Series 2, so at this time Morgana is not evil and currently is unawar of her magic.
Disclaimer: We don't own Merlin, but if we did Merlin would have been turning into a girl loads more times XD
Chapter 1
"Forbearnan," he whispered. He loved the way his magic sprang to life within him and pulsed through his veins, making his eyes burn a ferocious gold. He opened his previously closed hands and marveled at the flickering flame looking almost as if it was growing from his palm and felt such pride in knowing that he had created something so gracious, however easy it seemed to be.
Merlin was sitting on his bed in his room. Gaius was away visiting the innkeeper, who had fallen ill (again) and Arthur was at training with his knights. Merlin had finished all of his chores for the morning (with a bit of help from his magic) and he had now decided to relax and learn some new spells.
As the flame burned in his hand he decided to try out something. Letting out a deep breath and staring at the flickering flame in deep concentration Merlin gently whispered,
"Upastige draca,"
His voice, though quiet, showed his power as did his eyes as they once again burned gold. He watched in surprise and elation at the little dragon that arose from the flames. Its little body reminded him of Kilgarrah, and he smiled as he saw the majestic creature fly around the room before settling back on the flame and promptly disappearing. Merlin jumped as he heard a sharp gasp outside his door, and his magical flame was blown out. As he turned he saw the person staring at him, their eyes wide with shock and confusion.
It was the Lady Morgana.
Sorry it is a bit short, but it is just to get into the mood of things. Hope you liked it! Please review!
