Arthur woke up the next morning and went to check on Morgana. He walked to her chambers and knocked on the door. He shouted her name but there was no answer. Then Guinevere popped up next to him. She was out of breath.

"What's wrong, Guinevere?"

"I-I can't find Morgana sire. She's not in her chambers and I've searched the whole castle", Gwen said in a frustrated tone.

Arthur scowlled. Guinevere could tell he was extremely worried.

"Maybe Merlin knows where she is", she suggested.

"Merlin never came to my chambers this morning. I had to get dressed without that prat."

Guinevere smirked but then realised the seriousness of the situation.

"We should go check with Gaius. Maybe he knows what is going on."

Arthur nodded and lead the way to the physician's quarters.

Once there, he promptly asked Gaius where Merlin was.

Gaius replied, "He went out last night, and I haven't seen him since."

Arthur sighed and said, "We can't find Morgana either."

One of the servants informed Arthur that two horses were missing. This raised more alarm to the young prince. Afraid that something was seriously wrong, he made a plan to find his two missing friends. He told Uther he was going to look for Morgause and that he was taking Merlin and Morgana with him. But instead he sent his best men to look for the enemy while he and Guinevere searched for Merlin and Morgana. He had no idea where they could be going but he assumed they would head far outside Uther's reign. But what if they didn't want to be found? Or what if they had been captured?

"Merlin, you know Arthur will come looking for us."

"Oh let that dollop head look all he wants. He won't be able to find us anyway."

Morgana smiled. She'd never felt this free, not even when she was with her sister. She actually felt happy. She gazed over at the ebony haired boy that she'd ran away with. How could she not have seen that he had these powers. Was she really so blind? No wonder he felt so much remorse for the druid boy. All those battles won unexpectedly? It must have been Merlin.

She piped up and asked Merlin, "How have you been able to serve Arthur so faithfully and not even know if he would accept you for who you are?"

"It's hard, but I have faith that he'll restore magic to this land." Merlin stopped his horse and dismounted. Morgana was confused about what he was doing exactly. He pulled out a note and tied it to the horse's bridle. He asked Morgana to get off her horse too. She got down and help on to her horse to keep him steady. Merlin then said something under his breath as his eyes flashed, and that made the horses run back the way they came.

"I'm just sending them back with that note so Arthur knows we're safe."

"Well how do you plan to get to where ever it is we're going? I really don't feel like walking."

"Well lucky for us, I'm a dragonlord."

Merlin took a deep breath and called out for Kilgharrah.

This impressed Morgana, but what impressed her more was the sight of a real dragon swoop in.

"Merlin what do you need?"

"Can you take us somewhere where magic isn't banned?"

"Of course."

They climbed onto the dragon and he took them far away.

Morgana was so excited and yelled out, "Merlin! This is amazing!"

Merlin smiled and held a little tighter onto Morgana. Kilgharrah swooped up and down and the two friends screamed and laughed. They flew over villages and kingdoms. Merlin briefly saw Eldor and thought of his mother. Would she be proud of him? He hoped so. He also thought of his father. He knew he would be proud of him. Morgana saw that Merlin seemed upset and she leaned closer to him. She laid her head on his shoulder. She thought about asking him what was wrong, but figured it would be better to not bring it up.

The dragon started to slow down and land. He had brought them to a land that neither had ever been to.

"Where are we Kilgharrah?", Merlin asked.

"This is an abandoned village. I believe it was called Venzor. No one will find you here."

Morgana stayed calm but then suddenly wrapped her arms around Merlin's neck and smiled. She looked up at the powerful dragon and thanked him. Merlin thanked him too. They then watched as Kilgharrah flew away into the sunset. It was a beautiful sight. Then the two of them walked around the village and saw that there were only a few houses standing. They walked through the first one they came to. It had no bedrooms and was just open.

"This place must have been ransacked. There's not a price of furniture or a tool in sight", Merlin observed.

They went to the other houses and noticed the same thing. But then the last house was actually nice. It have an upstairs and a downstairs. They split up and looked through the rooms. There were at least ten.

The first room Morgana looked in must have been the kitchen. It still had the essentials. She was walking to what looked like a bedroom when she heard, "Morgana come look in here!"

She rushed to come look at what Merlin had found. She was simply amazing. It was a library!

"Look Morgana", Merlin said barely containing himself, "it's a spell book… we'll definitely need that."

Morgana looked through the hundreds of books on the shelves. There were stories. There were recipie books. There were even history books. "Who had lived here before?" she wondered.

"Well Morgana, I'm starved. We should find something to eat." Merlin jumped down from the ladder he was on and headed out of the library. The ebony haired girl followed him.

Merlin found rabbit traps in one of the rooms in their home to be. He set them in hope of catching something. In the meantime, Morgana looked for berries and then Merlin started a fire. She came back with strawberries. They were so sweet. They hadn't eaten in at least a day.

"I almost forgot!", exclaimed Merlin. "I have bread in my satchel."

"Merlin no we need to save it. We'll use it for breakfast tomorrow."

He saw her logic in this and agreed. They ate their berries and looked up to the sky

The sun was going down now. It had been a long day, but an enjoyable day. It was getting really cold do Merlin made the fire a little bigger and gave Morgana his coat. He went to sit back down across from her but she stopped him.

"Merlin sit by me."

Merlin was surprised even though they'd been together this whole trip. He sat down by her and she smiled the sweetest smile.

"I'm so sorry for everything I've put you through Merlin. I just never thought that you would have magic. And I'm just so happy."

Merlin grabbed her hands and pulled her even closer. He took one hand and caressed her face.

"It's okay. I forgive you."

Morgana knew what Merlin was about to do and she was more than okay with it. She leaned in in unison with the dark haired warlock. Their lips met and the power of the kiss surged through her. The magic was literally visible around them. It was meant to be. It felt so right. Merlin started to pull away after this perfect passionate kiss. But Morgana pulled him back in for another.

She then morphed it into a hug and whispered thank you in Merlin's ear. She turned around and walked back to their new home.
