Hey, I have just one more chapter coming up and it is the epilogue. I hope you like it.


I woke up to a loud noise. I stood up and went to my window to see what was going on. They were already building the balefire. It was true. I was going to lose him. Unless I made a plan to save him. I was always told I was smart woman so I quickly figured what I should do. When they light the fire I will make rain and that will save him. He can possibly run away. May be it was not our faith to be together.

There was a knock on the door. I was still in my night gown. My hair was still loose on my back, my eyes were still a little blurry from the sunlight that was shining directly at them but I answered the door anyway.

"Good morning my lady! Can I come in?" Gaius stood there with expression that is hard to be described. He looked like he had not slept in the last 24 hours and he had been crying all night. I assumed I was right because of the big red circles under his eyes. That was much for his old but very kind looking face. I knew that Merlin was like the son he never had to him. It was horrible to see him go through all that. It was horrible for all of us.

"Of course!" I said and let him in, closing the door behind him. I swallowed the hot tears that were now trying to escape my eyes and sat on the edge of my bed.

"How are you Morgana?" he asked me sitting next to me. I couldn't hold it anymore. The tears just started streaming down my face.

"I'm sorry Gaius. I should have been more careful. I can't believe it is happening because of me. He is going to lose his life to save me."

"Don't think it is your fault dear child! It is not your fault. Uther hates sorcery and we knew sooner or later someone is going to fight for his life. But I know you can help him. You have powerful magic Morgana. And you have an extraordinary faith. It is supposed to happen that way." He said putting his hand over mine. I have to admit his words were comforting.

"What are you talking about Gaius? What extraordinary faith could I possibly have." I asked. He knew something I didn't. it was something that may turn my whole life upside down.

"Long ago, when Merlin was born, a girl was born too. He mother died soon after the birth. I knew the mother and her baby. The little infant was Nimueh. I took her to Hunith, Merlin's mom. She took care of her and Merlin until she turned three. Then her people decided to take her away. But they didn't knew Merlin had magic too. Nimueh is …was his foster-sister. Years later Uther asked Nimueh for help when queen Ygraine passed away and he started chasing down sorcery. From that moment Nimueh turned into a monster. But I knew what her fate was. I witness how the ancient druids wrote their destiny. Nimueh was dued to die from the hand of powerful with that has her power from love. It was you who we destined to kill her. And it is you who is destined to be with Merlin on his journey." He said.

That was something that really took me by surprise. It was so logical because of the things that were happening and yet it was so scary to hear it was actually predicted by someone as ancient as the magic itself.

"What are you telling me Gaius?" I asked him not really sure I was understanding what he was telling me.

"He is the light to your darkness, Morgana. He is the love to your hatred. He is destined for great things but he is not destined to die today. You can save him. But be careful. That is all I am trying to say. Now if you excuse me I have to go." He said , excused himself again and left the room.

So I was really about to betray and save him at the same time. I heard the drums being slammed and the crowd went crazy, shouting and screaming and even throwing things at him. They were putting him up on the balefire.

The look on his face was already like his soul has left the body. Uther simply waved his hand and the guards tied Merlin up. He was about to be set on fire. I saw how Arthur quickly brushed away a single tear hoping that no one saw him. Gaius was trying to hold it together too. Gwen was in the crowd crying as well. I started crying too.

I closed my eyes for a second. In front of me appeared the first time I saw Merlin when he arrived in Camelot. I remembered all the times he helped me and he saved me. I remembered his soft words and gentle touches. I remembered the night he spent in my chambers and how he held me tight. In that moment I felt like nothing can hurt me. We were infinite in this moment.

I opened my eyes and the reality hit me like a heat wave. The fire was spreading already. I took a deep breath and murmured a spell under my breath. My eyes went gold and suddenly a rain started falling down. It extinguished the fire in the matter of minutes.

Gaius saw me looking from the window and nodded his head. Suddenly everyone started screaming again. I turned my head towards the balefire and saw no other than Arthur cutting Merlin's rope. I couldn't hear what he was telling him and he motioned to Merlin to run. And Merlin didn't hesitate. He took off running towards the town's gates. I was so hoping he would make it but suddenly he fell on his knees. I saw how one of the knights stood behind him in a position like he just threw something and he did. He threw his sword and stabbed Merlin in the back.

"No!" I screamed through the window and run down the hallways to the yard. Gaius ran to Merlin and Arthur did too.

"Why did you do that?" Arthur screamed at his knight. "You killed my friend." Arthur said now crying and holding Merlin's lifeless body in his arms. Gaius was crying too trying to catch Merlin's pulse.

I went outside and ran towards Merlin. I fell on my knees and buried my head into him.

"No!... Merlin wake up! Wake up! Don't leave me! Please!" I was crying and screaming until I lost my voice. "It is your fault! You did that because of you stupid fear of sorcery. You used magic before and now you destroy it. I hope someone destroys you Uther Pendragon. Be damned even in you next life Uther." I screamed.

I wasn't realizing what I was doing. I screamed a curse and my eyes went gold. In just a mere second me and Merlin's body disappeared from Camelot. This time I wasn't coming back. I took us to the woods. Deep into the woods where no one would find us. When Gaius said Merlin will die I didn't realize it was going to be by Uther's hand. I had this man as a father for all my life. And now he killed the only man I have ever loved and hated at the same time. Nothing will be the same anymore. No one could make me feel the way Merlin did.

I tried to stop crying. I took a deep breath and took the sword out of him. The sword actually stabbed his heart. I felt mine was stabbed too. I turned his body so he was facing me and left him there while I dig a grave with my own hands. I buried him and covered the whole grave with white flowers, the ones he loved the most.

Kneeling down next to the grave, I took the sword and slowly and painfully cut my hand. Blood started to gutter drop by drop. "I will revenge for you my love. I swear to you! I will! I couldn't save you but I will make sure you are revenged. You were not the one that had to die. Uther Pendragon will pay for taking you away from me. I will not leave this like that. I will not!" I said through my tears. Tears of pain, both physical and from heartache.

I meant it. I was going to kill Uther. He always have taken away people I love from me. First he killed my father and then Merlin. This time his actions were going to reflect on him. The blood vow was never to be broken. Never!
