Hlelloooo! :D heres the next chapter, thanks to everyone again for the reviews...I know I say this very chapter but they really do mean alot to me :D Enjoy! :D
Elysia grinned as she waited for the dragon to turn up. She could feel his magic in the clearing where he must have used often as a home…or maybe where he and Emrys kept meeting? She didn't care really, she just wanted him to show up. Which wouldn't happen unless she did something.
"OI! Kilgreen or whatever your name is! Get your scaly arse back here so we can chat!"
She giggled as she sat down on a fallen log and smoothed her red skirts down…Morgana certainly had taste in clothes despite living in the middle of nowhere, but she also wanted to have a colour change…red was rather striking for her (even though she did have red tips on her hair but that was different in her view) and being noticed was something she wasn't used to or particularly fond of. Her musings were cut when she heard the sound of wings beating and she looked up to see a dragon landing in front of her.
"My name is Kilgarrah. And who are you to call me little…oh, but you aren't a witch from here are you little one?" Kilgarrah said with a air of caution.
He could feel her magic which was so much different from anyone's, even the warlocks. So why was she calling him and why did he even bother to answer her rather rude call? Many sorcerers had tried calling his kin in the past and none succeeded…the Dragonlords were the ones the dragons answered to in the past.
"Nope, I am from somewhere far away from here…and a lot quieter. I mean, how the hell do any of you even manage to sleep without a fight breaking out?" Elysia replied with a pout…she hated fighting. Well that wasn't quite true, she liked play fighting…
Kilgarrah just snorted and cocked his head slightly. He couldn't fathom this girl and he couldn't sense her place in the currents of time like he could with anyone else. It was how he had gotten Merlin onto his destiny line by seeing how…wait a minute.
"What's happened to the time streams?" he said quietly.
"Oh I just messed around a bit" Elysia grinned.
"Elaborate"
"UGH…I hate big words…well, basically, Emrys and Morgana Le Fay are shall we say…having a tumble? Oh and they love each other now even though there's a loooong way to go and…."
"WHAT?"
Elysia hid a grin. That was a response she wanted.
"Your hearing gone from old age? Well, I said that Emrys…that's the cute big eared warlock, and Morgana Le Fay….that's the stunningly gorgeous witch with an amazing smile and great hair…they are…"
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?"
"Yes, Isn't it great?"
Kilgarrah roared into the night and Elysia laughed. Oh teasing and shocking anyone was always fun but this old dragon was really too easy to wind up…even though she was telling the truth.
"You have messed around with the currents of time and the destinies of some of the most…"
"Exactly" Elysia yelled loudly and Kilgarrah shut up at the excited magical creature in front of him. "even you have to admit that their stupid destinies were rather nasty…Arthur being mortally wounded, Morgana taking him to Avalon and being trapped there…Emrys being alone after everyone else is gone…for a THOUSAND YEARS! I mean, he's a bit naïve and rather soft sometimes but he doesn't deserve that…which is why I came here"
"You're from another world…one I keep having thoughts about"
"Syrax" Elysia clarified with a nod "Because I am here and everyone is beginning to go down their own paths, you are able to see more than any dragon has ever…Awwwww he's CUTE!"
Elysia squealed as a white dragon around 3 feet long appeared from behind Kilgarrah and squeaked as it ran over to Elysia and she giggled as she hugged it and it began to press its head into her stomach.
"Aithusa, you're a dragon…show some restraint when meeting someone new"
Aithusa stuck a tongue out at Kilgarrah and Elysia laughed louder as she allowed the baby dragon to sit on her lap.
"I think he's been taking tips off someone" she sniggered.
"The warlock isn't exactly a good influence on him" Kilgarrah said before trying to get the original topic back on hand. "Their destinies may not have been pleasant but they were important"
"Yes but you know how long it will be before the legends are spawned Great Dragon" Elysia said, suddenly using a respectful tone for Kilgarrahs benefit. Dragons loved being complimented and respected.
"I do" Kilgarrah said softly, wondering where she was going with this.
"So let everyone have some fun and when the time of Albion is nothing but a myth, let me, Emrys and Morgana change the facts and blur them up so no-one knows what really happens…maybe get Nimueh as Emrys' lover?"
Elysia grinned…she loved that idea. The blue eyed High Priestess was someone described by her dragons as the most 'conniving and sneaky person you would ever meet'. So that was why she really wanted to meet her. She was dead yes, but she could get her back…
Kilgarrah rose an eye at the suggestion. It could work but it went against everything he understood. Without the future available to him, then everyone would be blind….only Seers could see anything into the future then. Aithusa might be able to adjust but Kilgarrah knew his time was coming…he was a thousand years old now and was tired.
"Oh you can have some fun as well" Elysia grinned as if she knew what he was thinking which surprised Kilgarrah a lot as well "You may be old but I could always bring my dragons here…they could stop your aging like what will happen to the lovebirds"
That got his attention back fully.
"Why do that though? They hate each other"
"Only because you made them" Elysia pouted "But anyone who's been in a room with them can see the underlying sexual tension they share…even Arthur Pendragon, Mr I Cannot See Merlin Using Magic himself, saw it a few times"
Kilgarrah almost smiled at the slur on the Once and Future King…and the other thoughts would stay hidden in the part of his mind where he never went for good measure. He sighed. He knew it was too late now to change anything. The fates of everyone were their own now because of this girl.
"You will watch over them with your life little creature…that is your responsibility now" Kilgarrah warned.
Elysia shrugged as she stroked Aithusa under the chin and it made a soft squeak which made her grin like Emrys would.
"Fine by me…oh and could we keep this little bundle of cuteness around? I'm sure you are being rather stressed out with looking after him all the time. Let the Dragonlord look after him like he should be doing?"
Kilgarrah nodded readily before he could stop himself. Aithusa was very active…and maybe the warlock would finally meet some…thing that could match his clumsiness at the same time. The Great Dragon grinned now and Elysia laughed. She had overcome a really big obstacle here…but she wouldn't go back yet…
She wouldn't want to walk into an Emrys/Morgana tumble after all.
Merlin slumped back as Morgana fell on top of him, both of them completely exhausted. He smiled as her fingers trailed along his chest and onto his face and he looked at her.
"Phew!" Merlin exclaimed.
Morgana smirked.
"Seems you are rather good at other things too Merlin" she teased.
"Right back at you"
He pulled the covers over them as Morgana hugged him closer to her, her nightdress covering his legs as she lay more comfortably on him.
"Although if you snore you will end up on the floor" she added.
"As long as you don't burp or something"
He yelled as her fingers dug into his ribs and she straddled him, pinning his arms under her knees to keep him there.
"But you also have a lot to learn as well Merlin" she added as she continued to tickle him mercilessly "and your first lesson is this. I don't burp like you do. In fact, I don't burp at all…repeat that"
She stopped and put her hands on her hips to let him speak.
"Morgana burps like a horse after three jugs of ale!"
Merlin couldn't help it…anytime he saw an opening for banter he took it. He blamed Arthur for that.
Prat.
Morgana tickled him again and she laughed. She loved him. He loved her. And he was at her mercy again…she loved it.
