Disclaimer: If you actually thought for one second that I owned Merlin, you thought wrong. This fanfic wouldn't even exist if I did.
Hey, this is Cina Paradox. This is my first fanfic, and I hope that it will be as good as I hoped. I made up all my own spells using ordinary words spelled backwards and sounds from Merlin that I happened to like. :D The story is set sometime between 4.4 and 4.11. ENJOY!
Chapter 1
Morgana peered into the depths her scrying bowl and smiled with pleasure, her hands sweeping circles around it. It rippled, and Morgana smiled to herself with pleasure. Images emerged; much like wood did when it was thrust into water. She leaned forward, searching the water for clues on how to weaken Emrys.
Morgana's eye caught on a picture of Merlin. She winced, thinking of the young man who had helped her for once, and how all of a sudden he became devoted to protecting Arthur and spoiling her plans. She put away her thoughts and continued to scour the water.
A thought occurred to her—why was Merlin always showing up in the water? Maybe he was the key to finding Emrys! She changed the wording to her spells, incanting, "Pleh em drif eht Emrys hguorth eht thevres Merlin, ode ont tel mih woend." The waters rippled once more, showing the heartfelt that would break Merlin to reveal Emrys. She had no idea what a small, white lizard, no, dragon, was doing on the face of the waters, but she didn't question it. She only fingered the dragon, murmuring, "Yoc dra dael ne..." she searched her heart, "Aithusa."
Aithusa, eh? Morgana pondered this a bit and chanted again, to her scrying bowl, and saw the little dragon romping in a nest made of dirt atop a high cliff. She smiled, and resting one hand on the water and one stroking a bit of paper, and incanted a spell, immediately after, flinging drops of the scrying water. They scurried around the paper, making a pattern that would function as a map. The lines burned red-hot for a second, then died down, creating a map that dark but not quite ink. Morgana smiled. At long last. A map to a dragon's den.
