Chapter Two- The Warning

Merlin and Morgana danced for the remainder of the party. After an hour or so they retired and went back to their own groups of men and women.

Isolde hadbroken the news to her friends and her husband that she was pregnant, Tristan was overjoyed and ran out screaiming his joy throughot the citadel. Merlin thought it was rather amusing to watch and was about to break down and laugh but a glare from Morgana had changed his mind instantly.

"Merlin dear boy, how has your night been so far?" Merlin sat next to his old mentor Gaius, he hadn't seen much of him as much as he wanted to. After his return Merlin had been more keen on spending time with his children, Gaius had been busy as well so they had not seen each other ever since he had arrived.

"I am still adjusting to this holiday."

Gaius chuckled loudly. After all those years Merlin's old teacher and closest friend had not changed a bit, He did not seem to have grown any older. "I am so proud of you my boy," he exclaimed, "You have brought peace and prosperity to Camelot. You have brought about Albion."

As Gaius listed those achievements, Merlin smiled to himself. The old physician had been more of a father to him. He had taught Merlin a lot when he was young, had helped him to understand his magic and had guided him though the tough times in Camelot before Ablion. And hearing his pride for the warlock was a big deal in Merlin's view.

"Do youb want anything Gaius?" Merlin asked.

"No, no my boy that won't be necessery," Gaius got up and patted his once ward on the shoulder "I think I might however, turn in and I'l see you in the morning, Merlin." Before disapearing into the citadel along with some other knights.

Merlin spotted his wife talking with a now showing pregnant Isolde and made way to the ladies. The two were talking vigurously, he saw his wife and Isolde look his way before broke out in snigger, "Evening ladies," Merlin decided to greet.

"Ah Merlin dear," Morgana gave him a rather seductive smirk, "it's getting late and I was hoping to go to my chambers for a while, want to come?"

Merlin smiled mischieviously and nodded, leaving a giggling Isolde at a table as Tristan came to join her.

Merlin and Morgana ran through the coridors of the magnificant citidel hand in hand and laughing like children. Their moment of glee had caused them to bump into corners and as they were pressing against each other Merlin made an effort to kiss his beloved on the lips. Morgana sighed into the kiss. It had been a long time since they had any sexual intercourse and they were both longing it so much. Ever since he had returned from the war against the Saxon incursion Merlin had thought it would be nothing but usual parenting stuff. He was wrong. Treaties needed to be signed, strategies and plans for the kingdom's future needed to be made, and then there were the many request for medical aide, or magical from every corner of Albion who looked to the great Emrys.

Merlin had not had even a glimpse of his wife without clothes on since his departure to Hadrian's Wall and was now wanting her. They stumbled giggling into their personal chambers, mouths still attatched and onto the bed.

Once they were on, Morgana being on top started to peal away her husband's tunic, layar by layer in between kisses. She felt his need for her and smiled, he had no idea how much she missed him. Morgana, after successfully taking off Merlin's clothing stood on the bed in front of her gasping spouse and began stripping. Morgana slid out of her gown, letting it drop down to her feet as Merlin's eager eyes followed the silver material. He then adjusted his eyes to hers as she sat back down on his lap and smashed her mouth onto his warm lips.

Merlin enveloped his arms around her small frame, his lips had broken off of hers and started down her neck. He devoured her scent and skin, kissing every inch of it as he made his way to her breasts.

Morgana moaned in satisfaction as Merlin's mouth took her left hardened nipple and his right hand had begun to cup and play with her other one. "Oh, I love you," she gasped, "Oh I love you Merlin."

Merlin ran his other fingers over her spine, sending in tickles of shuddering feelingd to her brain. This was going to be a great night...when...Knock, knock, knock... "Merlin," Came Arthur's voice from outside their chamber doors. "Merlin!" it came again but more louder. Merlin and Morgana were about to pull out but decided to prolong their state. "MERLIN!"...that did it. The infuriated warlock got up, appologising to his wife and put on his trousers. "MERLIN!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming you fucken prat!"

Morgana wrapped herself with the white bed sheets and watched.

Merlin opened the door to the High King Arthur standing there, arms crossed nd frowning. "Sometimes I wonder if you're deaf, Merlin."

The court sorcerer sighed impatiently, "Well? What did you want?"

"Oh, I hope I'm not interrupting anything," Arthur said in mock concern. From outside he took a look arounf Merlin's room and saw his half-sister sitting on the bed, covering her heavily naked body behind the covers, "Apperantly I was."

"Yes,"Merlin snapped, "Yes you are Arthur Pendragon. Now, what is so God-damn important that it couldn't wait until I had made love to my beloved wife for at least one night?"

The High King's face then suddenly became more distressed and worried. "There is a big problem that has come up, Merlin."

They had gathered in the throne room; Highnesses Arthur and Guinavere, Court Physician Gaius, Mage King Merlin and Queen Morgana Emrys, and the Knights of the Round Table. The room was rather dim, not a lot of candles lit. Arthur and his queen sat at their thrones, Merlin stood by Arthur and Morgana by Gwen. In front of them were the knights and Gaius, but there was someone else. A little ginger heaired girl in a cloak stood in front of the court, everyone were all eager to know what was so important. "What is it that you so wished to bring into the court at such a late hour of the night?" Arthur addressed the girl.

"Sorry for the lateness your Highness. My name is Gallia, I'm originally from Scottland but had gone on a journey with my brother Ewan to Jerusalem in search of an artefact that my brother thought could destroy a very bad enemy of Albion." The room's attentions were suddenly turned to full. "It is called the Staff of the Kings."

The room became shrouded by gasps to the name, "You refer to the wooden stick that Moses had used to perform the many miracles in his Exodus from Egypt?" Merlin knowledgably said.

Gallia nodded, "My brother thought to quest for it in hopes that he could help you," she gestured to Merlin, "fight and defeat Albion's worst enemy."

Everyone then began to try and guess who she was talking about. An enemy to Albion? What could pose such a threat. There have been threats for the Britainnia land, but Albion? "Who is this foe you speak of child?" Arthur inquired the girl but it was Merlin that answered his king.

"Mordred."
