(I am here again! I have no social life over break so I can update! And before you say it I don't own Merlin! That is slavery and slavery is bad…. Now let's pick up where we left off, shall we?)

First Meeting:

Morgana had barely any motivation to get out of bed this morning, only her maid Gwen could get her to leave the warmth of bed. She was being forced to meet her husband-to-be, the prince of Draconia.

In the main halls that lead to the front steps is where Morgana was forced to stand with her foster brother Prince Arthur and King Uther. She wore a straight face to show completely indifferent she was of meeting this prince. Oh, how the lady wished her maid was beside her but Gwen was with the other servants arranging the feast for the arrival of Camelot's new friend.

After what felt like ages the doors opened. A young man of the age of fifteen, like Morgana, with hair like the midnight sky and bright blue eyes that were as deep as the ocean, but the boy's eyes seemed so sad with the reflecting the terrible scenes that no one should have to see at his age came through the door. A woman with an aura of elegancy around her. She wore her brown hair in a bun and her eyes were a beautiful deep blue eyes like the boy next to her.

Uther stepped forward toward the woman "Hello Queen Hunith. How lovely it is to see you." He say

The woman curtsies to the king "The pleasure is mine milord. And this is my son Merlin."

Merlin bows to the king in grudging respect "Hello milord."

Uther then directs the two to Morgana and Arthur "This is my son Arthur and my ward the Lady Morgana. Children this is Queen Hunith and Prince Merlin of Draconia."

Arthur stares at Merlin like he has seen a ghost "I-I thought I killed you?"

Merlin says nothing only bows, though the boys eyes said he would like to run Arthur through with a sword

Uther nudges Morgana nodding towards the black hair boy

Morgana walks over to the boy wishing she didn't have to do this at all.

Merlin turns to face her with a kind smile on his face "Hello. You are Lady Morgana?"

She nods, not saying a word.

"It is a pleasure to meet you milady," he says leaning his head down to kiss her hand.

Morgana couldn't tell if he spoke in true sincerity or if he was disingenuous.

"The pleasure is all mine milord" she says, managing a small smile.

The two stand there for a moment to take in the person they have to marry.

Merlin then clears his throat "I'm sorry you will have to be stuck with me milady."

She looked up at him with a confused look on her face "What do you mean milord?" she asks

"I mean I can tell you don't want to be wed to a man you don't even know." He says

"It doesn't matter what I think milord. The only thing that matters is that our kingdoms are at peace," she says looking at him straight in the eyes.

Merlin opened his mouth to say something but was cut off short by Uther beckoning them to come.

"Children, the Queen and I wish to tell you there will be a feast in honor of this arrangement in a few hours. Why don't you show Prince Merlin around Morgana? You can get to know each other." The king says

Morgana nods "Of course sire,"

Merlin did a gesture for her to lead the way as they walked around for the castle. As the two walked together they were silent, neither of them knew what to say at all.

"Well, milady. We have been strolling for nearly an hour and haven't spoken one word to each other. If I may ask, how did you come to be Uther's ward?" he asks

"I don't wish to talk about it milord." She says. "May I talk to you about something though?"

He nods "Of course. What is it?"

"Well, I had this dream and you were in it. It was a battle, you and Arthur were in fierce duel and Arthur killed you. Yet you are here standing before me. How?" she asks

"My magic. It saved me from death," he explains

She nods, hoping it makes her look like she understands a thing of what magic does.

For an hour the two walked before Merlin escorted Morgana back to her chambers.

After an hour of getting ready with the help of Gwen Morgana was stunning and equipped to mesmerize the nobles of the court.

(In the Great hall)

Everyone was buzzing around like bees, the servants were circulating around the room with ale and food, and the nobles were chatting loudly with each other. But all the loud soon died out when the Lady Morgana entered the room. She wore a beautiful purple dress that made the men's jaw's drop.

She took her seat next to Uther which meant she had to sit next to Merlin, Uther probably had the poor boy sit beside Morgana to get the two to talk more.

They did talk for little moments at a time until Uther forced them to go onto the dance floor.

The two didn't dance they snuck off to a corner to get out of the hawk like view of Uther. It wasn't long before they each knew a fair amount of info about each other and they wouldn't feel like complete strangers when they wed.

Merlin was about to gather up the courage to ask Morgana to dance but a little girl probably four came up to them

"Sire? Would you dance with me please?" the small girl asks

Merlin smiles "It would be an honor,"

The little girl leads the prince out onto the dance floor giggling. From where Morgana stood she couldn't help but smile at the sight of Merlin dancing with the young girl.

When the two got back the little girl ran away probably to her mother and Merlin was smiling a little.

"You seem quite content milord" Morgana says

"Um, the little girl was fun to dance with," he says "Speaking of which. Would you like to dance Lady Morgana?"

"I would love to milord, but I cannot dance," she explains

He shrugs "Its okay. I can teach you. I'm a rubbish teacher but I can surely try."

With that they made their way to the floor. They began to dance to the music, Merlin was dancing while Morgana was tripping over her own feet and stepping on Merlin's feet.

"I am very sorry," she kept muttering

Suddenly the window high above the hall crashed and a figure stood on the frame. The person raised their hand toward the crowd and muttered something under their breath, a flash of light stuck down at the people but no one was hit as far as they knew. When Morgana looked back at Merlin he was on the floor blood soaking through his tunic.

(Please don't kill me for that cliffhanger! I'm sorry! Actually I'm not sorry! HAHAHA Please review!)
