Chapter 2: Dawn Of A New Age
The Diamond Of The Day
After a horrifying battle in Camlann with the future of Camelot at stake, Morgana Pendragon has finally succeeded over her life's aim to kill King Arthur Pendragon and can now take control over Camelot! However, little does she know, that Merlin (or Emrys) is not yet dead and will go to extreme lengths to END her dark reign of terror!
The people of Camelot dashed back to their houses, screaming and crying with shock and horror as their worst enemy, Morgana Pendragon, strode through Camelot's courtyard towards the Castle, HER Castle, with her remaining soldiers and her pet Dragon Aithusa following closely behind her.
The doors to the Throne Room flung open and without a second's hesitation, Morgana seated herself on the fine, golden throne at the end of the room. Resting her head against the top of it, she eyed her guards warily as they all respectfully knelt before her. She noticed Aithusa crawling around behind them, sniffing every scent that caught her nose, and signalled for her to come over to her. Without resisting, Aithusa strolled up to her and sat at the side of her Throne, her delicate, sky-blue eyes shimmering with joy that his mistress had achieved victory at last!
"Now, MY Knights Of Camelot. I need my crown, if I am to become the Queen Of Camelot, as I RIGHTFULLY DESERVE!" she demanded. The Knights bowed once more and left the room.
Morgana lovingly petted Aithusa. "I too am glad that we've won, Aithusa. For TOO long we've had to hide, to cower under Arthur and Emrys' shadows! But now, it's their turns to cower under ours' as we lead this kingdom into a new age and change its laws, its methods, its people...FOREVER! Magic WILL return into this land! The Old Religion will rise once again and all those who suffered at the bloody hands of Uther and Arthur Pendragon, WILL ALL be resurrected! I promise you! As long as we stick together, we will achieve ALL that and everything else we wish for!" promised Morgana. Aithusa grunted calmly.
Morgana smirked darkly as the moment when she killed Arthur continued to play through her mind like a stuck on repeat video tape. "I hope the Prince is enjoying his rightful stay in hell! He is after all, a bloody tyrant like his brutal father! Infact, the two will probably be meeting each other in hell as I sit here on my rightful throne! They'll also be regretting ever banning magic from this beautiful kingdom that now belongs to me! Well, they can watch over this kingdom and sob at their losses for as long as I care, which is forever! I'm certain the people of Camelot will welcome me as their Queen with open arms! And I was intending to make Mordred my King, however it seems Arthur had enough strength left within him to deliver one final fatal blow, that killed poor Mordred! When my guards return, I will have them build a special grave for my brave, soldier! A grave I will visit every day to pay my respects! Oh, and as for Emrys, well, I hope he dies in that cave! It's MORE than he deserves!"
