Morgana couldn't sleep, Merlin had left her early to return back to his room and to talk to Gaius and she found without him holding her or her hearing his heart beat she couldn't drift off. She kept tossing and turning but finally gave up and sat up

"How can one man change my life so much where I can't even sleep without him? Who are you kidding Morgana you love him and feel secure in his arms, I wonder if he's still awake"

She rose from her bed and walked over to the vanity and sat down on the chair.

As she was looking at her reflection she couldn't help to not recognise herself, she radiated with happiness, no longer were there eyes that were filled with hatred and looking tired but now there was happiness and love, her hair was brushed and tied back instead of the messy curls she had and she was wearing one of her old night gowns instead of the black dress she had been wearing for a few years. She couldn't have wished for more, the people would still hate her but she understood, she hated herself for doing all the terrible things but hopefully over time they would learn to accept her, after all she was being punished. She looked down at the bracelets that she wore around her wrists, she felt her magic being blocked and hated it, magic was a part of her and she didn't know if she could last for so long without it, but she would try, she wanted to prove how she changed and because Merlin would be there to help her along the way.

She was brought out of her thoughts by a few quiet knocks on the door. Who would be up at this hour and come to her chambers. She walked over and opened the door slightly just in case; she had a huge smile on her face as Merlin gave his goofy grin

"May I come in?"

She opened the door fully as an invitation and walked back over and sat on her bed

"What brings you this late hour Merlin?"

He walked over and sat on her bed next to her

"I wasn't sure if you were awake; I wanted to know if you would come with me so I can show you your surprise"

"At this late hour?"

"Yes we need to leave Camelot and you're not allowed out"

She nodded her head and went for her wardrobe; she chose to wear a simple but practical dark dress and went behind her screen. Merlin waited patiently on the bed before he heard her

"Merlin could you help me lace the back?"

"Of course" he walked behind the screen and took the laces; her neck was on show and her upper back so thought he would tease her by kissing her skin as he did up the laces.

"Mmm Merlin as much as I want you to continue I really want to know my surprise"

He stopped kissing and finished tying up her dress "if you say so but I still owe you pleasure"

She spun round to face him and wrapped her arms around his neck "and I look forward to it" she give him a quick kiss before moving back towards her wardrobe where she took out a dark blue cloak

"Okay I'm ready"

"Good were going to be going through the old passages to the clearing just outside Camelot"

He took her hand and led her out into the corridor; luckily they saw no guards so they could move quickly. They reached the dungeons and noticed the two guards at the table.

"I've got this" she whispered and tried using her magic but to no success "I forgot" she looked so upset so he squeezed her hand "its okay I'm used to distracting these guards"

They were playing a game so using his magic he sent the dice rolling the opposite direction, both guard went to get them as over time they learnt sticking in numbers was wise when weird things happened. Merlin and Morgana hurried quickly towards to passage and it only took them a few minutes to get to the exit.


They walked through the forest holding hands, Morgana was curious to why Merlin's surprise had to be outside. She shivered from the cold air and using her free hand wrapped her cloak around her more. Merlin saw this and stopped; he took her cloak of her holding it in one arm then took his jacket off and placed it around her before replacing the cloak back around her

"Thank you" she gave him a kiss on the cheek then took his hand back in hers and continued on, she felt bad since he would be cold but he must have been fine since he was smiling the rest of the way.

They entered the clearing and she saw nothing, Merlin let go of her hand and stood in front of her just smiling. "Merlin what are you doing?" he didn't reply but held his hands behind his back with his smile on his face while rocking on the balls of his feet. She looked up and down of herself and saw nothing was different. "Merlin what are you smiling AHHH" she was thrown forward and Merlin caught her and brought her back up to stand then she turned around.

"AITHUSA"

There was the white dragon that had been with her to hell and back, she looked better than when she last saw and she seemed happy. Morgana wrapped her arms around her loyal friend and Aithusa responded nuzzling her neck. They stayed like that for a few minutes while Merlin watched over; there was the love of his life reunited with dragon he hatched. Things couldn't have been more perfect. When Morgana finally let go she quickly stood and turned to Merlin and give him such a passionate kiss, he happily returned and soon both were carried away, Morgana parted her lips allowing Merlin to snake his tongue in. they were both brought out of their haze when Aithusa made a strange noise trying to get their attention, they both broke apart panting heavily and looked at her, her head was cocked to the side as if waiting for both of their attention which made them both laugh.

"Thank you so much Merlin"

"You're welcome"

Aithusa then walked up to Merlin and nuzzled him as well "hey it's good to see you too"

Morgana smiled "did you hatch her?"

"Yeah she's the first and only dragon I've hatched"

"That must have been quite the experience, how did you name her?"

"It's hard to explain but that's how they hatch, you have to give them a name to call them forth from the egg. I named her for the light of the sun"

"Her names perfect. She saved me you know"

"Really when?"

"the second attempt of taking Camelot I was wounded by one of the knights and when I got to the forest I couldn't continue so I collapsed, next thing I knew I felt this warm breath that just felt like life flow within me and then I saw her. She flew off but returned maybe to make sure I was okay but ever since then we've taken care of each other"

Aithusa made another sound that sounded like a purr as if agreeing with Morgana. She looked back and forth between her friend and her dragon lord and could see they were right for each other, she could also see the pain in both of their eyes from the past but she knew that their future was good. She walked back over to Morgana and nuzzled her stomach which tickled making her laugh and patting her friends head. "I wish she could talk, but after the Sarrum imprisoned us I don't think she ever will"

"I'll teach her, or at least try. She's my dragon and I will do everything I can to help her although I'm going to have to ask for help"

"What do you mean ask for help, help from whom?"

Merlin gave her his goofy smile before looking to the sky and shouting "O drakon, e male so ftengometta tesd'hup'anankes!"

Morgana shuddered when Merlin shouted, his voice was so deep and sexy and she couldn't help but feel turned on. When he finished he continued looking to the sky "Merlin what did you just do"

Without breaking his contact with the sky he replied "I called Kilgharrah"

"Who's Kilgharrah?"

"He was the last dragon until Aithusa hatched, he's my kin and friend, but I have to warn you Morgana" he looked back at her staring into her eyes "he warned me against you and he knew you would go against Arthur so please if he is harsh it's just because he has known the prophecies for a long time."

"Okay I trust you Merlin but what if he tries to attack me?"

"He won't, I'll make sure no harm comes to you"

Just then he spotted a black figure in the distance coming towards them

"You might want to move back"

Aithusa was making happy chirping noises knowing her guardian was approaching.

Morgana held her breath as she saw the large dragon descend onto the field, he was massive in size she looked over to Aithusa and just imagined her becoming that size.

"Warlock why have you called me here and with that witch here?"

"DO NOT call her a witch; she's changed Kilgharrah I..."

"I HAVE WARNED YOU BEFORE WARLOCK"

"Yes you have warned me, but I'm telling you she's changed if she hadn't I would have stopped her even though it would have killed me"

"What are you saying Merlin?"

"Please just listen to me, she has changed, she came to me wanting to resolve peace with Arthur. I love her and will do anything for her, your my kin Kilgharrah please just trust me"

Morgana stepped forward to face Kilgharrah, she was shaking from fear of the size of the dragon but she held her ground "Kilgharrah, I don't want to fight any more Merlin has helped me, I love him and since you are his kin I'm hoping we can at least get along"

"If what you say is true wi..." Merlin shot him a look that made him reconsider his choice of word "high priestess, then surly you wouldn't proving to me"

"If I must, what would I have to do?"

"Kilgharrah no harm will come to her"

"of course not young warlock, i just wish to see if she has truly changed if she has then my fire will stay the same however if she has not then it will burn green i promise no harm will come however i cannot speak for your heart if she has not changed."

Morgana stepped forward away towards Kilgharrah, when she was a reasonable distance towards him she stopped and closed her eyes, she felt a warm feeling cover her and felt at peace. In Merlin's view he saw his kin breathe fire towards his love; his heart was beating rapidly for fear if something went wrong of if Kilgharrah did not hold true to his word. When the flame touched Morgana his heart was beating with happiness, it stayed the same colour.

Kilgharrah stopped breathing fire and stopped to look at the priestess, he may not have trusted her but she had proved that she had changed.

Merlin walked up to Morgana when he noticed that the flames did not disappear, he saw that her eyes were still closed and he took her hand, she instantly opened her eyes to look into his. As soon as her eyes made contact Merlin was also engulfed in the flame, to all of their shock the flame turned into a bright blue with hints of green.

"Kilgharrah what's happening?"

"The blue flame only happens when a dragon lord finds his true soul mate; it is also a spiritual bonding to make you as one"

Aithusa, witnessing her dragon lord and friend bond was making happy noises which made Morgana turn her head and small, Merlin looked at Morgana, seeing her engulfed in the blue flame which showed they were true soul mates made his heart swell with happiness so he gave her a quick kiss, Morgana instantly made the kiss deeper and they only parted when they were out of breath, they then noticed that the flame was gone from around them.

"High priestess I'm glad you have changed and I am sorry for calling you a witch, you must understand that..."

"Kilgharrah there is no need to explain, if I had known the prophecies as long as you had I would have doubted me as well, although I'm not happy that you made Merlin poison me"

"It was to ensure Albion's future"

"It's okay"

Aithusa then walked to step to Morgana's side; Kilgharrah took notice of her and noticed that she looked deformed

"WARLOCK WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HER?"

Merlin then stepped forward next to her about to speak but Morgana beat him to it

"I can explain, we were both held prisoner by the Sarrum for two years, and the pit was to small for her to grow"

"Kilgharrah, I know I am the last dragon lord but I don't know how to help her speak"

"Hmm I might be able to help her" Kilgharrah breathed over Athusia with a cold breath, Morgana recognised the same feeling when Aithusa healed her.

"i have healed her warlock but you will need to teach her. First in the dragon tongue"

Morgana smiled and hugged Aithusa, she was glad to know her friend would be able to speak.

Merlin watched them until he heard Kilgharrah's voice in his head "Merlin I hope you know what you are doing, I know that she has changed but I'm afraid if she changes her mind again your heart won't be able to stop her without destroying you"

"Don't worry Kilgharrah i love her and she me, as long as were together I will give her no reason to doubt Camelot or the future Arthur will build"

"We must be off, before dawn and people notice Morgana gone"

"Merlin do we have to?"

"Unfortunately but do not worry we will come back"

Morgana gave Aithusa one last hug before walking back over to Merlin and taking his hand

"Will we see you again Kilgharrah?"

"Do not worry Merlin I have a while yet"

Kilgharrah took off with Athusia following him and left Merlin and Morgana staring at their shadows flying off into the distance.


After a while they walked back towards Camelot, they were lucky enough to make it back to her room without having any guards in their way. As soon as they reached the door Merlin kissed her cheek

"goodnight Morgana" he turned around to walk but he was grabbed by his top and pulled into her room, he had no time to think as he was pushed against the now closed-door with her attacking his mouth, which when he realised what was happening responded immediately.

Merlin took control and moved them towards her bed as they started undressing each other; his jacket was thrown to the other side of the room while he moved her dress off her shoulders. He started to undo the laces at the back but couldn't get them undone so he ripped it off her.

"MERLIN"

He didn't listen and started kissing her neck making her forget about her dress, she would yell at him later. They both fell when her ankles reached the edge making her fall back onto her bed, he moved his kisses down from her lips down her neck to her breasts "so beautiful" she blushed and he continued moving down

"Merlin wh..."

"I promised you pleasure did I not?"

He kissed her thighs the moved to her entrance, she was so wet and it made him smile knowing that he had made her like this. He licked along her entrance making her scream in pleasure; he enjoyed the taste so he continued licking plunging his tongue faster. Her hands moved to his hair encouraging him, he knew she would last much longer so he moved to her clit, as soon as his tongue touched she exploded

"Merlin yes YES"

Her back arched as she climaxed, and he licked her out, she tasted so delicious to him and he couldn't get enough.

She grabbed his shoulders pulling him so their faces were level and kissed him, she tasted herself but she enjoyed it. She felt him against her and couldn't take it anymore

"Merlin please I need you inside me"

He was happy to oblige and moved his tip to her entrance. He slowly pushed in and both gasped and the feeling of being complete.

"I love you Gana" he kissed her with all the love he has while he thrust in and out slowly, he released her mouth as Her legs wrapped around him making him go deeper

"Merlin fuck me hard"

He sped his pace and started pounding into her making her scream his name, he wouldn't last long but he wanted them to climax together so he held off.

As he continued pounding into her she held onto his shoulders for dear life. They were breathing hard and when he hit her sweet spot she exploded for the second time that night, as she climaxed her nails were digging into Merlin's shoulders drawing some blood, her walls tightening brought Merlin to his own release and she was filled with his warmth and his spilled inside her.

He rolled over to her side and laid next to her. Both were out of breath and breathing hard but Morgana managed to speak

"That...was...fantastic"

He grinned and held her close to him, she laid her head on his chest and he wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Why did you call me Gana?"

"I thought it was a good nickname for you, if you don't want me to call you it I won't"

"No no its fine I like it, I was just curious"

They fell back into silence for a while longer and Merlin thought she fell asleep and he was drifting of as well but she spoke bringing him back into his thoughts

"Thank you for tonight Merlin"

"You're more than welcome Gana"

Her breathing became even as she was falling asleep and he was also falling but he heard her speak just before he drifted off

"Night Merlin"

He smiled at her, loving the feeling of her next to him making him fell asleep; he was looking forward to his dreams and then waking up next to his other half.
