Episode 4.09: Lancelot du Lac Rewrite

Merlin du Lac

Prologue/Interlude 2

Morgana seemed to glide across a hazy gray surface, her dark cloak sweeping the clouds at her feet. She looked around, hoping to find anything recognizable, only to be greeted by the misty surroundings.

The fog began to clear and the familiar form of her sister walked up to her. "Morgana…" she hummed. Morgana stared, stunned as Morgause walked towards her, only stopping when there were merely inches between them.

"Sister," Morgana called to her, a sadness mingled within her voice. She reached out, gently resting her pale hand on her sister's now unmarred face. Morgause smiled in return, and held out her hands.

She opened her palm, displaying a large coin covered in runes and ancient scripture. "Go to the Dochraid. Arise the dead," her soft voice commanded the Witch. "Sister, Camelot will be on her knees. I have trapped a valuable soul." Morgause smiled triumphantly as if she already won.

Morgana gazed at the bronze coin before reaching out and grasping the cold metal. Morgause's smile flickered slightly as she continued to speak. "Use this wisely sister, and Camelot will not fail to fall." And with that, the High Priestess faded into oblivion, leaving the dark-haired witch by herself. "Do not fail me, sister."

Morgana stared at the spot where her sister once stood. "I will not," she promised.

The bright green eyes flickered open as they evaluated the hovel surrounding them. The eyes slowly drifted down towards the hands.

Because, snuggled between her pale palms, was the same coin that Morgause had given her in her dreams. The emerald eyes flared with rejuvenated anger.

It was time to make Camelot pay…

A/N: I said that I would update every friday, but I don't really consider this as a chapter, so here's an early update!

Nice short beginning, just as a prologue should be.

I read somewhere that Morgana got the coin as a gift from Morgause from the Spirit World (a deleted scene or something)… so I decided to keep that scene. If I'm wrong, still fine with the scene ;)

This story is actually 'Lancelot du Lac' Rewrite, but there is more to it than that… I like to think of it as two episodes mash-up… Guess which two (really, it's not that hard… again, I'd be surprised if you didn't).

Next chapter's one of my favorite! So stay tuned! It'll be up on Friday! :D

So, Reviews, anybody?
