Chapter One- It is no coincidence.

Morgana moved swiftly, her gown sweeping along the forest terrain. The deep, dull sky as dark as her mind. Although she had ensured it was safe in her pockets, the dagger dug into her skin causing a small bruise.
"My lady, is that you?" A familiar voice called from behind her. Morgana's lips grew into a smirk as she paused in her steps, smoothing her fingers along the blade. She spun on the heels of her matching red shoes.

"Oh, Gwen! I have been so terrified, what has come over me these past years? What are you doing here?" Morgana asked, lying through her teeth. I watched from behind the tree. My breathing was heavy. I was well aware of what Morgana was capable of.

"I followed you, my lady. I thought you may have needed me?" Gwen spoke with her kind heart shining through her words even though she knew Morgana was not all good.
"Go away, Gwen!" Morgana growled, I watched, from behind an uncomfortable bush, as she stroked her dagger more firmly before she slipped her fingers to clasp around the handle then pointing it at Guinevere. Her eyes flashed a devilish orange as the blade sliced through the air.

I muttered a small enchantment on the dagger and watched it fall to the ground, just before it had reached Gwen's innocent face. Morgana span around looking for me. She knew someone had stopped it on purpose. "Emrys," She whispered, with a small cackle. Morgana's small voice rose into a loud shout, "Emrys, come out, come out wherever you are! EMRYS, I know you're here!" As Morgana burst into tears, Guinevere seized her chance to run. I kept up with her, hidden behind the trees, I watched as she walked back into Camelot, unnoticed. I was about to sneak in after her when I was caught.

"I take it you used the time you was away to polish my armour, feed and muck out the horses, clean my shoes, clean my clothes and clean my chambers?" An arrogant voice spoke whilst tightly holding the collar of my brown jacket. I shut my eyes for a few moments before reopening them to be met by a pair of two very angry blue eyes.

"Arthur, sire, I was..." I attempted to gather an excuse.

"You were what, Merlin? It's late now so I'll let you off the hook...Oh, wait, I'm a clot pole remember? And clot poles don't forget things like letting their servants off. Night, Merlin."

"Good night, sire." I sighed before dragging myself to my room but of course not before getting a lecture from Gauis. I lay in bed thinking things over, it was not by chance I was lying awake; the Great Dragon was continuously calling my name furiously. I decided its better I get it over with so I hung my jacket around my shoulders and headed back out to the forest, escaping the eyes of the Camelot guards, to our usual spot. I soon reached the dragon but he tilted my head at me, curiously.
"Merlin, why do you do this?" He asked.

"Do what?" I replied, confused by the amount of description he had to his question.

"You keep letting the witch free. What happens if you are not so lucky? You may have missed your best chance."

"I was just there to protect Gwen not to kill Morgana."

"You should have killed her!" The beast roared.

"If I did then Arthur will go hunting for who killed her, even though she's betrayed us all he still thinks there is some good in her." I sighed.

"She believes what she does will be good for all sorcerers and creatures of magic but she is wrong. That is your destiny." He then flew up into the air hovering around, signalling the time to talk was over, but I stayed. I sat down on the flat grass. Waiting, watching, wishing. "Why are you still here, young warlock?" He asked, landing in front of me.

"I'm always told what I'm going to do. That it's written. That it's my destiny. But what if it isn't? What if I'm the bad guy? Surely killing a witch isn't good if I'm meant to protect all those with magic."

"Merlin," he chuckled. "You cannot help everyone. Some people you have to let go."

I sighed. Perhaps he was right. I heaved my way back through the unlit forest before I clambered back through Camelot, exhausted, and back into my bed. It was a surprise to me that I had gone about unseen. But then again, a lot was a surprise to me in Camelot.
