A Collection of Drabbles

by Jillcb

This is a collection of drabbles. Some are prompts from a series of challenges from The Heart of Camelot website. But others are just ones than I came up with myself. They involve all different characters from Merlin, both from Camelot's perspective and also from those on the other side of the fence. But I wrote all of them with the same love and I hope understanding. Enjoy.

14. Chapter 14

As Morgana slumped dead at Merlin's feet he struggled to understand his emotions. While the overriding one was relief, that at long last the High Priestess was in no position to threaten Camelot anymore, he knew there was also something else deep down, that would never give him total peace of mind. As he looked at her it seemed she was at long last at peace. Her expression in death almost looked serene. Not for Merlin though.

He attempted to clear his thoughts but could only think of the young, frightened girl who had once begged him, to confirm that she had magic. If he'd given her the answer she craved would he of spared her and Camelot so much of the suffering that she wrought with her spite and hate? Would it all of been avoided, then he could have had the friend in magic that he so longed for. Instead of all the years of loneliness and isolation that he'd been forced to endure.

He sighed as he looked at her, with a wistful look on his face, peace had come to Camelot in the end, but for Merlin the price was almost too much to bare.
