AUTHOR NOTE: WOW! This is my first fanfic I've written for this site, and I'm really nervous/excited! This is a Morgana redemption fic and follows the story up to the end of the fourth season, with Mergana and Arwen as the main pairings. I hope you like it. I'm going to update it again hopefully in a week or less! I normally swear a lot, but I'm going to try to limit this and only use a few. I SADLY DON'T OWN MERLIN OR ANY CHARACTERS.
"Come on," Merlin muttered under his breath. The Amulet was hanging half an inch above his outstretched hand, just slightly to tall for him to reach. He himself was grabbing onto a crevice in the rock, dangling into an empty chasm below. He dangerously wobbled, his entire body falling another few inches down.
"Damn," he whispered as the necklace now lay further above him. A creaking sound echoed through the cavern, stopping 20 some feet above him. He glanced up to see a cloaked figure, standing at the edge of the rock, glancing down at him. A deep laughing resonated from their chest.
"It looks like you are in a tough situation, Warlock," He boomed, and with a flick of his wrist the Amulet soared up to him. "The Amulet doesn't respond to petty magic, I have put countless charms against that." He laughed again and without so much as a backwards glance, turned and walked away.
Morgana's heart thudded with anticipation, the Amulet would finally be hers. The only thing in her way was that sorcerer, who always wore the cloak. But she would take care of that, soon enough. She knew the location of where he lived, and in a matter of hours, would hold the key to power. All she had to do was get the Amulet.
Merlin was in trouble. He had tried climbing, and eventually had to use his magic to help him get out of the ravine. The amulet or the sorcerer was nowhere to be seen.
Swearing under his breath, Merlin broke into a run trying to catch up to him. When he reached the edge of the cage and hadn't seen the man, he swore again. He slumped his shoulders and head in defeat, making the long trek up to Camelot, awaiting a very worried Gaius, Arthur, and Gwen.
Morgana couldn't believe how well the plan had worked. After Agravaine's death, she had placed a spy in Camelot, a young girl. And it was right before she was about to leave that the young girl told her.
"Merlin has gone in search for the Amulet," Morgana repeated, shocked by what Sefa had just told her. She nodded, and walked outside to wait while Morgana shoed her away.
Writing a note with a smirk, Morgana sealed it, and sent it with Sefa back to Camelot.
SORRY! I know it's REALLY SHORT! This is basically the background setting, and from now on the chapters should be longer. I'm going to try to upload the day after tomorrow, so Thursday, but if not for sure by next week. Thanks for reading it! Feel free to give constructive criticism if you want!
