"urn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere
Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
you're never there
And every time I sleep
you're always there
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
you might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh
And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
it's you I breathe
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?
"Why didn't anyone tell me Morgana had a twin sister." Merlin whispered in Arthur's ear, clearly he was hurt by the news especially from someone who he considered his friend, the man who's life, he had saved over and over. The person he swore to the Great Dragon, be help make king one day. It seems that Arthur may have not been the only one who knew the secret. His father the King, maybe even Gaius. Poor manservant Merlin was left in the dark and how did Elaine feel about all this. Obiviously it did not seem to have affected her the way it did Morgana. Maybe there was truth to the saying one make the choices themselves and deal with the consequences.
I looked at the two giving this exchange as the five us now sat on my bigger table thanks to the kindly Mary, who did not think twice about apologizing to me.
"You may look like her, but I can look into people's hearts and your is as pure as dove".
My three brothers couldn't had agreed more, making blush tomato red. I wasn't that sweet even Merlin couldn't argue with that comment. Funny how the men of the family proved to be more worthy than the women.
Although sometimes, I see compassion in Morgause eyes something that now lacks completely in Morgana's can my older sister be saved from herself. For how much I disagreed with their methods, especially Morgana snatching the throne from it's rightful heir. Uther brought down his own demise for chasing down all those of magic. No matter the reason. Wielding magic does not make a person evil. But how one uses it.
I've witnessed many a noble man act like a mercenary and a peasant act more nobly than a knight. Now I was getting a funny look from them as I took a sip of mead.
"Bernard was a great man, he didn't deserve to die." Arthur lamented. I tried very hard not to cry again, so I gave my best watery smile.
"He did not want to believe the stories about Morgana, how could one turn on their father like that, betray her very own blood." I still remember standing before her in the throne room. Finding some way to reason with her, but something told me she was beyond reason.
"Joining forces with a tyrant worst than Uther.." I caught the not so friendly gaze of Arthur, even if he didn't see eye to eye with his father on many things. Including treatments of Knights, friend and foe. He still cared about his father even when he learned the truth of his birth. "Sorry I meant joining forces with Cenard. He most have his men patrolling the borders looking for you."
Mary was also brave for allowing them in her tavern, but ever since the duo had stood up for her, they were more than welcome. They and who ever is willing to help them. Only those greedy enough would stand to help Morgana and Morgause. But also she couldn't control who came in either.
At that moment the doors of the tavern open in came Four of Cenard's men looking for the fugitive. The five companion stood up. Merlin taken my hand, giving it a squeeze.
"I won't let you down like I did her..". His words confused me. I was going to ask him this when all hell broke lose.
Tirre smashed his fist into a big man's face, the sound of a cracked nose residing around the place. Ouch!
I did my fair share of smashing faces the last was Morgana so it was like smashing my own face but what can one do. I snagged a sword from a belt of a fallen enemy and clatched against the sword of another. Not before putting the tip against the weasel throat.
"Give my regards to my sister, tell her. Tell her King Arthur is coming for his throne". I smashed his head, and like good ole Sir Malcolm. Went down like a rag doll.
Morgana and Cenard needed better suited idiots. I choke my head almost laughing to myself, when around the corner a wielding ax maniac came this close to smashing it against Merlin's back. An enchantation left my lips and it fell on the maniac instead. I turned my head for it did not wish to see the insides of that revolting man.
.
"Thank you." Merlin said with a big smile
"No problem." I answered shyly. When would be the right time to tell him that I have seen him many times in my dreams, and I could not make sense of them. Just as fate sent things in motion someone shoved me and I wided up someone how in his arms, causing us both to fall on to the tavern floor.
"Uff.." He said. As I looked down, I couldn't help but blush out our predicament.
"You know if this hand been on any other occasion, my brothers would scewer you alive." I was not going to admit, that it felt nice
"I just wish I knew you existed." He seemed almost sad, I smile down on him
"Now you do." Sadly I was taken off by Arthur, he did not look pleased
"Really Merlin, in public…" I smashed his foot with mine, "ouch..."
"We've better get out of here, where are you lot staying". At the moment Arthur opened his mouth more guards came into the establishment.
"We talk later..agreed".
"After them" said a big fellow, who tunic couldn't contain his belly. We both helped Merlin up, I gave him a wink. When our savior Mary called to us.
"This way!" Mary said pointing to a back door, leading to an escape Lavaine gave her a big wet kiss, that her set her cheeks flushing.
"We will repay for the damage."
"The only thing we want is that witch dead.. now go." I gave Mary a big, I feared for her. I looked at her big brown eyes.
"Why don't you come with us." I begged thinking of Bernard " I don't want else to die because of me.". She took my face in her hands
"Thank you child, but I can't live this place, the people are standing with Prince Arthur. Now we have more faith than ever. Now go."
Tirruh tugged at my hand and we were at the back where only four horses were waiting to depart. Where was my horse?
"Why are their four horses.?" I asked my kingly brother. He smiled wickledy.
"Since you two looked so chummy you ride with Merlin." He said this already astride his horse. Tirre and Lavainne were on theirs. Shrugging Merlin offered me his hand and I took it, placing my hands on his waist.
"I hope we don't fall off." I laughed
"Hold on tight princess" he said as we rode after my three brothers. "Where is it that we are going?"
He simply answered "The valley of the dead kings". Great
