I don't own Merlin, I am just playing with the characters.
Morgana sat in the hut that Ade, The man she and Merlin had been told was the chief of the village they were in. After Budiwati had cast the translation spell there had been no problem under standing what everyone was saying. Morgana was still getting used to there being people who had never heard of Camelot.
Her mind flashed back to the conversation with Ade and Perwira.
...
"come, sit inside" Ade said moving aside the blanket that doubled as a door "we will talk"
Ade motioned to a couple of mats on the floor indicating they should sit down. Morgana and Merlin sat beside each other and Perwira sat near Ade.
"thank you, for helping us" Morgana said to the two men "We probably would have been lost for days if your men hadn't found us"
"It is we who should be thanking your Mambabarang" Ade said "our Village has been being attacked by that monster for many weeks"
Merlin and Morgana gave each other a confused look and then turned back to Ade and Perwira.
"What is a Mam-bab-a-rang?" Merlin asked
"a man who is gifted with magic" Perwira told him "Very rare, if you had not been there I hate to think what would have happened"
"but you were hunting it" Merlin said "didn't you have any plan of how you would stop it"
"I had hoped the beast could be killed with weapons reenforced by Budiwata's magic" Ade said
"yes" Perwira agreed "unfortunately the beast knocked the weapon out of my hands and broke it"
Morgana looked back and forth between the three men, she looked around for Budiwata.
"where is Budiwata" Morgana asked
"She is helping to prepare celebration" Ade answered "do you wish to speak with her"
Morgana nodded,
"I would" Morgana told him "I would like to know where she learned magic"
Perwira and Ade let out a soft chuckle as if Morgana had just said something jestful.
"what?" Morgana asked
"We are not Mambabarang, but even we know you do not learn magic" Ade told her "Magic is gifted from Gods"
"yes but she had to learn that spell she cast allowing us to speak to each other" Morgana pointed out
"ah" Ade said as if understanding something "you want to know were she learned spells, there is a difference"
"If you would like I can take you to Her" Perwira said starting to stand
"But first we talk" Ade said motioning Perwira to stay sitting.
"while we are grateful of your help "Ade said "I must ask what had brought you to our Village, besides Perwira and his men, and where are you from? You do not look like any of the people that have visited from other villages"
"It's" Merlin said glancing to Morgana and then looking back at Ade "a long story"
"We're from Camelot" Morgana told them
Perwira frowned "I have never heard of this Village"
Morgana and Merlins eyes widened in surprise, They had never met any one who hadn't heard of Camelot.
"Camelot is not a Village" Morgana said, "It's a kingdom"
"it's ruled by King Uther" Merlin said "and his son Arthur leads Camelot's Knights"
Morgana worried at Ade and Pewira's lack of having even heard of Camelot. From the look on their face's at the word city She didn't think they'd even heard of one let alone seen one. What did that mean for getting back. Did she even want to go back?
"where did Morgause send us?"
"who is Morgause?" Pewira asked her confused
Morgana's face blanked, she hadn't realized she had spoken out load.
"She's uh "Morgana wasn't sure what to tell them, She wasn't sure what Morgause was to her any more. Morgana's eyes started to tear a little as the last time She had seen Morgause came back into her mind.
"oh god" Morgana breathed turning to Merlin "with all that's been happening I forgot"
Merlin quickly pulled His friend into his arms to comfort her realizing what she had just remembered.
"I know I shouldn't be upset after what she did but" Morgana almost sobbed
Merlin looked at Ade and Pewira over Morgana's shoulder. Seeing there confused and concerned looks He explained.
Morgause had been a Sorceress that had secretly befriended Morgana. However she hadn't been honest with Morgana about her motives. She was actually Morgana's sister, having been sent away as a child. Ade questioned why she had been sent away. Merlin explained about Uther and the ban on Magic.
Ade and Perwira were both shocked, Magic was part of the natural order. You can't banish something people are born with.
Merlin continued explaining about Morgause placing the spell on Morgana and the dragon telling him that the only way to save Camelot was to kill Morgana. But that He not wanting to kill Morgana was able to think of another way.
"and I am glad you did" Morgana said softly "If you hadn't given me the fake poison which allowed me to hear Morgana confess her true purpose with me, I hate to think what I would have thought"
"So you gave Morgana fake poison to trick the S or-cer-ess" Ade said "then what?"
Morgana continued where Merlin had left off explaining about drinking the potion and finding her self unable to move but she could hear everything. She heard the proof that it was Morgause that was leading the attack on Camelot, that she cared nothing for the innocent people and she considered Her a pawn. Merlin pointed out that Morgause hadn't actually called her a pawn, Morgana asked what else He would call it. Any way Morgause had made to take her away and Merlin had jumped into the spell.
They had argued, Morgause had revealed her true intentions. Then Morgana had finally been able to open her eye's and sit up in time to see Merlin use Magic to stop a fire ball, Morgana glared at him as she told Ade and Pewira about the fire ball.
Merlin gave a small sheepish smile to Morgana explaining to the two men that He hadn't told Morgana He had powers.
"I argued with Morgause about what I over heard" Morgana told them" She became angry and tried to attack Merlin"
"what did she do?" Ade asked
"I'm not sure what she was trying to do" Merlin said "Morgana tried to tackle me out of the way just as my Magic was reacting to try and protect me" He glanced over at Morgana who had adjusted her self back onto her own sitting mat "and Morgana's magic reacted causing some sort of Magic explosion"
"The last thing we saw before we got pulled away and landed in your forest was Morgause being consumed by fire" Morgana started to tear up again "I know she betrayed me, but I would not wish that on anyone"
Ade considered the story he had been told, they had been through so much. The chief told the two stranger's they could rest in the village as long as they needed. Although He could not direct them to this Camelot, they could perhaps travel with the trading parties in a months time they might find someone who know the way.
Merlin and Morgana agree'd. Merlin didn't like not being able to start trying to find their way sooner but accepted there wasn't much of a choice. Morgana wasn't sure if she wanted to return to Camelot.
End Flash back
...
Ade gave them each use of a hut and introduced them to Budiwata, Who immediately was able to read Morgana's magic and tell she was gifted to be a healer. She had offered to teach her so Morgana being eager to learn became Budiwata's temporary apprentice.
