Merlin – Sigan to power

Prologue:

Merlin's vision was blocked by the dense fog that surrounded him and the whole castle. The darkness of the night was not of help either. So he slowly mad his way through the yard. Then he saw it, the motionless body of Arthur Pendrakon and the dark creature that was going to kill him.

He held out his hand and mumbled "Astrice" to destroy the gargoyle. After that he ran to Arthur's side to check if the prince was still alive. Luckily he was.

That was when Cedric appeared from out the fog.

"Who would've believed it? You, a sorcerer, and a powerful one.", rang Sigan's cold voice through the silence.

"I won't let you hurt him!"

"And you are going to stop me?", inquired he.

That was the point when Merlin rose up and stepped before Sigan, blocking him from Arthur.

"I'll stop you!"

"He does not deserve your loyalty. He treats you like a slave."

"That's not true!", his voice did not sound as convincing as it should have.

"He cast you aside without a moment's thought!"

"That doesn't matter!"

"But it must hurt… so much, to be so put upon, so overlooked, when all the while you have such power.", Sigan's words were like poison.

"That's the way it has to be!"

"Does it? You're young, Merlin. Look inside yourself. You have yet to discover your true power. I can help you! Think, Merlin, to have the world appreciate your greatness. To have Arthur know you for what you are!"

"That can never be!"

"It can, if you join me. Together we can rule over this land. Arthur will tremble at your voice. He will kneel at your feet."

"I don't want that!", his insecurity turned into confidence. No, he would never want Arthur to kneel to him, let alone to be afraid of him.

"You'd rather be a servant?", Sigan's voice sounded sneering.

"Better to serve a good man than to rule with an evil one!"

Sigan's eyes narrowed and his expression changed to anger. "So be it. If you will not join me, I will become you and your power will be harnessed to my will!"

Cedric began to choke and his eyes rolled into his head before he close them. He reopened his eyes and reached out to Merlin before finally collapsing onto the ground. And after a few moments, Sigan's soul came out of Cedric's body and was moving to Merlin, who started to speak the spell the dragon gave him:

"Ic thin sawol her beluce. Abide thaet ic the aly-….", Sigan's soul ever so slowly forcing its way into Merlin's body.

As Cedric before, now Merlin collapses to the ground. Hid body began to jerk uncontrollably and he felt Sigan slowly taking control of his body and mind. With all the power he still has, Merlin tries to fight him, but when he reopens his eyes, they were blacker than the deepest night.
