Drumming her fingers over the crystal table Morgana let out a content sigh. She could hear the sound of water in the distance that almost seemed to be singing to her. As a child she often swam in lakes or rivers and imagined herself to be a mermaid from fairy tales, but she didn't know she was part of a water element. Then again, it did make sense. She closed her eyes and let the sound of the wave's sooth her mind, almost sending her into a trance before she felt something crawling on her shoulder.
Her eyes snapped open and she turned her head to see a flash of a white wing which startled her. "What the-" She was cut off by looking into a pair of dragon eyes and for some bizarre reason she felt oddly attracted to it - Of course magically and not any other way, that was just wrong.
"This is Aithusa." A familiar voice whispered just behind her, and she turned on her heel to see Bane there. She smiled gently and looked down towards the floor. "Shes a beautiful little thing." She admitted and slowly stroked her scaly back. Aithusa nuzzled his head against Morgana's neck making her chuckle and give her even more attention.
"She is a beauty isn't she? She's been looking forward to meet you." He said with a flash of a grin appearing on his lips. He stepped closer so the gap between them closed which made her feel uneasy. He raised his tanned fingers and slowly ran them over Aithusa's body and laughed softly.
"Your mother has kept her here until you returned." Bane admitted in a quiet tone.
Morgana smiled softly and watched Aithusa crawled upon Banes arm and slowly curled into his shoulder and seemingly fell asleep.
"I can't stay here, you know that." Morgana pointed out in a soft tone and sighed gently
Bane slowly looked up at Morgana with sadness now clear in his eyes. "But...Your my Fiancé." He whispered in despair, his golden eyes looking deep into Morgana's. It was clear that he truly Loved Morgana, arranged Marriage or not he had already imprinted on her when she was a baby.
He raised his hand and pushed a strand of hair behind her ear and lent in to press a soft kiss to her cheek. He pulled back a little and inhaled her sweet scent. Oh she smelt divine, like strawberries.
Morgana looked up at Bane looking very uneasy and she took a step away from him. He was such a gentleman he always knew that but she was in love with Merlin, the wizard was her lover, nothing could ever change that. However what was she to do? Turn her back on her own kind? Or turn her back on her lover and friends? She felt torn, stuck. She truly didn't know how she was going to get out of this one, she was usually lucky but this... She did not know what to do.
"Tell me you're joking?" A dark haired woman spoke from a dining table, her eyes upon queen Mab all the time. She had pale skin, dark raven curls and beautiful silver eyes (Much like Rosemary's, might I add) - She was a demon, not any ordinary demon though, she was a hell queen. Lucifer used to rein many years before but after becoming his apprentice and learning his strengths and weaknesses she finally defeated him by eating his heart and becoming the hell queen. She now ruled over hell and was married to Queen Mab.
Mab, who was sat at the other end of the table sighed softly and shook her head. "Once again Viviene somehow messed with my plans. First she won't help me fight for our religion now she's trying to stop me!" She hissed bitterly, her wolf coloured eyes upon the Hell queen. She looked absolutely furious and usually everyone avoided her when she was like this, but not this woman.
Her name was Alexandra Dockley, she had family but alot of them were deceased, the ones who were not was Lillith Dockley, a dancer many years before until Alex broke her ankle on purpose and sent her child to her death, and Rosemary Dockley, who she often reminded that she had a womb that was corpsed. Everyone marked her as a horrible, cruel, manipulative woman.
"Oh Mab, dont you worry, I promise you that we will get our revenge and they will wish that they never denied your request." Alexandra whispered in a eerie whisper, which immediately calmed Mab.
"What is it you have planned?" Mab asked in a rasping tone, causing Alexandra to grin.
"Oh you will have to wait my dear." She said with a single nod.
She widened her eyes and turned her head to see the frightened Gnome standing there, cowering before Queen Mab so it was obvious he was there to give her bad news, which caused her to narrow her eyes. "What is it...Frik." She said coldly, relaxing against the chair and heard Frik stumble forward and Alexandra cruelly used Magic to make him trip up, which he did and dropped all of his notes along the way.
Alexandra laughed under her breath, looking up at Mab who also tried to contain her laughter. Frik shook with fear and gathered all of his notes together and stood up, looking at Mab who gestured him to continue.
"I-I'm afraid Master Merlin escaped your majesty... H-He said he was going to find Morgana and ask her for her hand in marriage." He said fearfully and cowered away expecting a hit from his mistress.
"Wait for the moment Mab." Alexandra said firmly looking at her queen, knowing she would have acted before she thought. Mab was patience, and if the outcome was good, she was going to wait.
