Disclaimer: I still don't own Merlin.

A/N: This is the first part of a three-parter, it's not so much a series as it was just too long and there was no way to shorten it down to 100 words or even 200. It is also the first AU drabble in this story, concerning what Mordred might have seen if he had been able to use the Crystal of Nemeth.

Characters: Mordred, Alvarr, Morgana

Genre: Suspense, maybe? Angst?

Rating: K+

Time frame: During "The Witch's Quickening"

Visions: Part 1

"Try it, Mordred, look into the crystal," Alvarr's tone was filled with suppressed excitement.

He grasped the Crystal of Nemeth in his hand and looked into it, feeling his gaze drawn into the depths. And he saw.

Himself, several years older, looking down at Morgana, who gazed up at him with an expression so full of shock and betrayal that it made Mordred's breath catch in his throat.

What could he have possibly done to make her look at him like that? His stomach churned with guilt for something he hadn't even done. I'm sorry, Morgana….whatever I did…. I'm sorry.

Hope you enjoyed! A review would be great! I should be posting the other two parts right after this one.
