The very first chapter of LoB. In this chapter both Merlin and Morgana meet up with their respective, for a better word "love interest". But little do they know what they have planned. So read the first chapter of Love or Betrayal.
Merlin was looking over the highlands of Camelot. It was a silent place, and he could use his magic without someone noticing him. If King Uther found out, he would be instantly exiled or killed. Gaius and Morgana where the only who knew of his magic ability. He wanted to lift a branch from the ground but stopped when a shadow appeared.
The shadow was from probably the most beautiful woman Merlin ever saw. Her hair was straight, long and black like Morgana's. Her skin was pale but beautiful combined with her piercing blue eyes. Her dress was red like blood, with a great part of her cleavage exposed. Her slender legs where also partly visible trough her dress.
"Good morning milady" Merlin said politely. He stepped forward and as soon as he did the woman fell over her dress but Merlin was able to grab her in time. She looked up to him and smiled. "Thank you for catching me sir" she said sweetly. Merlin blushed and she smiled. She got up and said "I'm Adrianna. I came here to meet someone named Merlin" she told. "That's me" Merlin said pointing to himself.
Adrianna's smile widened. "Really. It feels like faith brought us together" she said. She leaned forward and kissed his cheek. She then took his hand and asked? "Would you like to show me the castle" Merlin gulped a little. "Sure" he said and took her hand and silently walked her to the castle.
With Morgana
Morgana Pendagron was sitting in her bedroom. She saw Merlin walking with a girl outside her window. She felt a sting of jealousy. She couldn't deny she liked him a little. Sometimes she dreamt of him, and sometimes it also went a little to far. She thought about him for a while. But her thoughts where interrupted when the door of her bedroom opened.
She turned around to see who it was. It was a tall and somewhat skinny man. He had white and flecks of a beard. He wore a green hooded cloak and a tight black shirt. And he wore also brown trousers and black boots. A bow and arrows where slung around his back along with a long sword.
"Oh I'm terribly sorry milady I hope I don't come in at the wrong time" the man said. Morgana looked at him, in her eyes it was quite a handsome man. "That's alright" she said fondling her hair. The man walked in and softly took Morgana's hand and kissed it "the name's Gareth I've been assigned as a guardian in this place to you lady Morgana" he said. "Nice to meet you Gareth" she said.
Gareth smiled "well my beautiful princess. I have to go patrol the tower. But I'll be back soon. Alright" he said. Morgana nodded as Gareth left the room. What a man she thought dreamily. But on the other side of the door Gareth thought like silly putty in mu hands.
Castle Dark World
Reverend Fain looked at the kingdom Camelot in the distance. While doing this he said. "It begins" while smiling devious.
So that was the first chapter. It might not be much, but its better then nothing. I hope you look forward to chapter 2, until then.
