Chapter Fourteen - Turning Point

'I need to tell you…'Morgana started but stopped as the doctors sent by Merlin got inside the room and bowed slightly to the patient and the visitor.

'Your majesties,' the main doctor greeted with formality and the two royalties smiled uneasily as all they needed was to talk to each other but first the doctor had to check on Morgana. Arthur stepped aside for the examiner to make sure Morgana was fine and he nodded with great appreciation.

'Your highness, your vitals look good and your temperature is back to normal, it's as if a miracle happened here…' the doctor said and looked at Arthur in question.

'I'll fill you in once I have spoken to her majesty for matters of state that have been brought up ever since the accident of an Avalonian jet within Camelot's grounds.' Arthur said, signaling to everyone to hurry up so he could be with Morgana again, he couldn't tell them about Merlin either so he had to think of something, telling them a citizen of Camelot possessed magic could mean his death and up to that moment Arthur still needed time to realize something about his friend before deciding to their kill him with his bare hands or not. They took off Morgana's tubes and left only the serum for her body was still a bit weak even if healthy.

'We'll arrange everything so her majesty can be moved to one of the suites within minutes, there is no need for her to be in the excessive care anymore.' The doctor said before they could exit the room and Arthur return by her side.

'That was quiet a dismissal,' Morgana said and Arthur gave a smile and nodded his head, he needed to be alone with her more than ever, more than the night he saw her dancing like a sensual spirit in the meadow, more than when he saw her in the ball, even more than in his own dreams, where she carries or holds his children, Albion's heirs.

Morgana saw his sober eyes and felt like stepping back again, she knew she had to speak to him the soonest but she couldn't imagine his wrath, would she do things worse? Maybe she had to learn the facts first, before she could have his world crumbling down, she had been lied to by Morgause and Uther had lied to Arthur, both royals had the right to stick with each other and find some solace.

'You tell me first what is going on,' Morgana asked and Arthur was ready to comment on her postponement but against her tired, pleading eyes, he just gave in.

'From where to start…' he wondered as he looked down at the hands they had linked together again the moment he had sat back down. 'Merlin saved you, he's magical and I just learnt about it… I caught him performing magic on you, Gaius knew,' Arthur started and Morgana frowned, she knew Merlin and Arthur were friends ever since they were children, during the years she had seen Merlin from the tv, always next to Arthur, she could imagine how he felt over this. 'He healed you because you needed magical help from someone or we had to send you to Avalon to get help there but my father refused to grand us that because he has spread out that you're dead, Morgause thinks you're dead… and so far I don't know what she's planning…' Arthur went on and Morgana's eyes changed, from her frown, an expression of shock and terror appeared, you didn't need a degree on politics to know her sister was probably already starting the drums of war against Camelot, a war that would mean the downfall of the Isles.

Arthur sighed and looked around before he could rub his face with his free hand, through the glass walls he could see Merlin and Gaius were already gone as he commanded them to. He sighed and looked back at Morgana's shocked face.

'My father knows about us, along the jet's black box, they retrieved your mobile phone and he took all the data from inside it in reports, probably commanded the secret services to grand him mine as well… he knows.' Arthur added and Morgana couldn't be that surprised this time, of course the bubble would burst sooner or later. 'He had asked me to spy on you, even bed you and learn what Avalon could want from us after so long… and at first I did exactly that but soon my heart changed, or it actually worked… I couldn't spy on you… the night of the full moon rite… I knew you were different, I knew I was in big trouble…' Arthur added the rest of the truth that he had confessed before the accident anyway. Morgana nodded her head and sighed, it was time for her to speak.

'What do you know about prophesies? There are two…' Morgana started and Arthur looked at her with a frown, showing he didn't know. 'There is one about a Le Fay marrying a great king and having a son who will unite the realm, but there is also one about a Le Fay who will somehow manipulate the Heir to bring down Camelot…' Morgana finally said, she hadn't heard the prophesies clearly, not both at least but she had to inform him and starting from the prophesies would help. Arthur waited for her to continue and rubbed her hand with his as she sighed before she could keep up. 'I was sent here by Morgause because I know something that could turn you against your father and there for harm Camelot…' Morgana said and Arthur frowned and waited, truth was his relationship with the King wasn't ideal but he couldn't imagine himself hating his father. Morgana sighed and lowered her eyes before she could turn them back on him.

'When Albion was united in that fragile treaty created by the leaders of the kingdoms, there had been an agreement upon who would become the High King, since they couldn't beat each other, the first one who would have a son would take the High Throne…' Morgana started and Arthur nodded, he knew that, and he knew this was the reason he was the Heir despite Cenred and Lot's sons.

'My father had already an heiress, Morgause, so he hoped for a son, like the rest of the kings,' Morgana went on, mostly hesitated with the extra addition of her father's part in all this, Arthur waited, Morgana finally sighed and spoke the words that would change everything.

'When Camelot still had magic allowed in here, there was a sorceress Nimueh, a great one, the next most powerful to my own mother who was the high priestess, this woman was the ambassador here in Camelot and the religious leader for the ones who believed in the Ways of my people. Your father asked of her to have him and Queen Igraine conceiving a son since your mother had been childless for years of marriage…' Morgana went on and Arthur frowned, he knew people in Caerleon called his mother Igraine the Martyr and there were rumors and whispers of folk tales and lies over his birth… he waited for Morgana to speak.

'Magic can give you children, children of the sex you want, children born of magic… but the price to that "gift" is great, one life is created but one must be taken… Uther asked of Nimueh to have a son but Igraine didn't know… she was unaware of what would happen when she learnt she was finally pregnant… Your father condemned your mother to death so he could have first the son everyone desired… I don't know if he expected Igraine to die but she did and Nimueh had warned him the price would be high, he didn't listen, after her death and your birth, in his fury he imprisoned Nimueh far away from Avalon, in Caerleon and started the Purge that ultimately destroyed the Treaty as well. From there we had the Separation day and the wars between us, in one of these wars, my father was killed.' Morgana finally revealed and watched as Arthur remained frozen before her, she could read the disbelief, the terror and the agony in his eyes. 'I swear in my mother's bones I am not lying to you.' Morgana rushed to add as she felt his hand tightening around hers until he broke completely the hold and stood up, she remained silent so he could react, she could imagine his fury, his world was crumbling.

'I…' Arthur tried to say but what exactly could he speak of? He knew people in Caerleon thought things but he always believed they were wrong and pained because of the Queen's demise, he knew people from other kingdoms believed other things over the heritage and the rights of his upon the throne. He remembered Morgana once telling him history is differently written from country to country… he also remembered his father's refusal to go to Caerleon or allow Arthur to get there without escort. He remembered Uther's madness every time he learnt Arthur had sneaked to the kingdom, the censorship on every kind of book that spoke of the Separation, the trials of people who tried to teach things differently, the blindness he had been inflicted in for years from his tutors and the hatred Avalon showed every time the Separation day was approaching over the years. It hit him hard and mercilessly, he wasn't the rightful son to be the Heir, he wasn't born rightly, all the years of being brainwashed as the heir were a lie, and above all, his very birth was the doom for another human being, his own mother.

He slowly sat back on the bed and hid his face in his hands and Morgana tried to reach for him with a frown of physical pain from her position on the bed, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders from her position by his side.

'Do not blame yourself, I know you do but don't do this to yourself. It wasn't your fault, you're an amazing man, and you have proved that, I know you feel like everything is falling apart but it's not your fault,' Morgana tried to whisper to his ear but she wasn't sure he listened, he finally raised his face and looked at her, his face was a mask of fury.

'You swore in your mother's bones,' he stated and Morgana nodded solemnly. 'You're right, it's not my fault, he condemned my mother, my own life, he betrayed everyone as to have a son, he killed your father, he killed so many in the Purge, I'm just the vessel for his glory.' Arthur whispered as his hands trembled in agony. He was ready to stand up, leave the hospital and do what Morgause wanted him exactly to do but Morgana held him back.

'No, Arthur, I'm begging you, do not do this, I know you're infuriated, I know it's hard to consider it all but do not do what they want us to do, we need to know each other's truth and work together. Killing your father right now will only have you in jail and me in chains. They know you're here and they know I'm alive, they will believe I enchanted you against your father, they will believe you killed an innocent man. We need to work together in this if we wish to survive…' Morgana tried to reason with him and after a moment she felt him relaxing under her touch, for a moment more he remained immobile and then he hugged her as tightly as he could, she could only hug him back.

'I want to kill my own father,' he whispered and he finally felt a wave of angry tears filling his ocean blue eyes.

'I destroyed my friendship with Arthur…' Merlin whispered as both he and Gaius were reaching the gates of the castle in a black limousine, the older man sighed as he looked at Merlin with pity.

'You destroyed far more, Merlin, he knows you're of magic, I don't care about me knowing as well, but you're young, you did a grave mistake, a mistake that can cost your life.' Gaius said and Merlin looked at his mentor as if he had two heads, no, Arthur could never condemn him in such fate. He shook his head and looked outside the window of the car the moment they got in from the central gates.

'I need to be alone for awhile,' Merlin whispered and pressed the button signaling for the driver to stop, he got out of the car before Gaius could say a word more. The young man started for the gardens of the castle with his head bowed and his mind full of what had happened, he had saved Morgana and he had hoped things would be better for Arthur and all he achieved was to turn the young prince against him… Arthur was feeling betrayed and lied to, and Merlin knew, he was right to feel in this way.

As Merlin kept moving around, he found himself past the gardens and close to the emergency exit of the castle at the end of the line of the forest that ran behind the royal property. He frowned when he noticed movement and hid behind a small fence when he saw royal jeeps moving closer to the always sealed exit. His face turned blank with shock when he saw the gates opening and a jeep getting inside, the jeep stopped before the other two and the driver exited and opened the back door, bowing as none else but Morgause Le Fay exited it with her sunglasses on her head holding back her hair wavy blond hair and an expression of disgust plastered on her face as she looked around.

She was received in another jeep and they all took off for the castle, Merlin didn't hesitate and started running towards the place as well, what Queen Morgause was doing there? There was the newly lifted embargo, how could she sneak in Camelot's capital castle and most importantly why Camelotian jeeps of the Knight Guard were escorting her?

He knew the entire castle like the back of his hand so it was easy for him to sneak inside the castle from a side door that wasn't heavily guarded and move up some stairs that gave him the privilege of seeing the convoy but not to be seen.

Morgause was escorted from the back of the castle to Uther's office and Merlin was only more confused as she watched her intimidating figure in a royal blue gown that she had chosen to wear, her hair looked like a sea of gold on her back. Merlin moved through a portrait hole he and Arthur had discovered when they were teenagers and moved within a corridor that led right behind the great portrait of Queen Igraine's in Uther's office. Medieval castles helped you when you needed to spy on someone, even if that was your own king.

'She's here, Sire,' a guard was heard and Merlin thanked the God for having just the canvas keeping him from listening. He could hear a door opening and then footsteps, the door was closed and a chair was drugged on the floor.

'Pendragon,' Morgause's rich voice was heard and Merlin waited.

'Le Fay,' Uther replied in the same cold tone he had been addressed.

'Where is she?' Morgause asked curtly and Merlin heard more footsteps on the floor.

'At the hospital, she's alive,' Uther replied after a moment and Morgause sighed deeply before she could speak again.

'I want proof, I won't even play with you and your motive over why you declared her dead, I want proof of her life being out of danger, I have summoned my best healers for her.' Morgause spoke and Uther spoke right after her in angry voice.

'She's alive and that is enough proof for now, we must speak about the prophesies.' Uther said and Morgause chuckled to Merlin's surprise, he waited for the queen to speak again.

'Is the mighty Uther Pendragon afraid of folklore?' she asked and Merlin could hear Uther almost growling.

'You know it's not folklore and you know we both don't want either of the prophesies fulfilled!' Uther almost screamed but Morgause was heard chuckling.

'Actually I would love to have the second prophesy proven right, Morgana making Arthur turn against you… too bad my little idiotic sister has a crush on him.' Morgause replied but this time Uther laughed cruelly.

'You read the prophesies in the wrong way, Morgause, you would love to see my son turned against me but you do not think in more than one ways, both prophesies talk about the union of a Le Fay and a Pendragon… not the destruction of the one because of the other.' Uther replied and Morgause made a mocking sound.

'Since when do you read so much into prophesies? Are you reading the cards as well?' she asked and this time Merlin jumped as he heard a glass shattering against a surface.

'If the prime prophesy is fulfilled, we both lose our thrones due to the Heir that could be born by Arthur and Morgana…. Nimueh will be freed and then Hell will break lose.' Uther screamed and Morgause was heard sighing. 'And do not tell me that Nimueh will be happy to see you… she knows you're in power now and you were promised to be in power for years yet you never did a thing to free her as she had requested from Avalon due to the treaties for the human rights, you all ignored the requests… and she's furious about it, having her out of the jail I locked her in will be as bas for as it will be for me!' Uther this time said calmer and Merlin couldn't take the frown away from his face.

The day Camelot's blood is taken to the magical Side

The Sorceress will be Free and that will be the Time

For the Royal blood of the Isles to have

Camelot's blood spilt in the name of the Craft.

Merlin remembered the prophesies from the day Gaius had told him about them. If indeed Morgause had misread the prophesy… could it mean that the royal blood would be taken in another way? Arthur had given blood for Morgana just a few hours ago. The thought hit Merlin like a punch in the stomach, right after that.

Was the prophesy already fulfilled? Could it mean such an incident as giving blood for her was enough? How else blood would be spelt in the name of the craft? Merlin rubbed his face in bewilderment as he waited to hear more.

'Fine, what should we do?' Morgause was finally heard asking.

'You will heal and take her away to Avalon, I will keep Arthur back by any means…' Uther said and Morgause asked shortly after.

'What means?' she asked slowly and Merlin could almost imagine her frowning.

'Your sister almost killed herself with her try to escape Avalon, she didn't even mind the Druids, and so my son defied me and my straight orders… we need to make them stop wanting to see each other… you said Morgana has a crush on my son, you're wrong, they're in love with each other… your stupid plan backfired on both of us…' Uther accused Morgause but the woman only sighed.

'Cut the speech and tell me what you think we should tell them, what could it make them stop wanting to see each other?'Morgause asked and Uther paused for a moment before he could say the words that had Merlin gasping.

'We'll lie to them about their heritage, we'll tell them that Morgana is my daughter… that they are half siblings… that your mother grew lonely while your father was away in war with the Saxons.' Uther said and there was a thudding sound as if Morgause had smashed something on a desktop.

'Have you lost your mind? I could never disgrace my parents like that! Morgana is the next priestess in Avalon after me and before the eldest daughter of the line.' Morgause exclaimed and Merlin heard Uther sighing.

'You prefer to have her and Arthur's son next in line? You prefer to lie to your sister or have Nimueh out? Arthur is at the hospital right now, crying over her dying body, go there, have her healed and take her away. Explain to her like a good sister why you're so against this union and I will do the same with my son. I had urged him to take advantage of her if he had to when you wanted to send her here and I'm sure you told Morgana to be closer than normal to Arthur, but we'll keep them away now, we'll tell them that we were never sure but now that the countries came in contact again after years we took samples from the blood we all have in storage for time of need and ran the tests to see if it was indeed true. It's the only way for them to stop trying to reach each other, it's the only way for them not to fulfill the prophesies.' Uther said and Merlin could feel the cold sweat running down his back, this was insane.

'This is much better,' Arthur said as he pushed the wheel-chair Morgana was on, the nurses and the doctor was close by as they moved the princess to her new room. The suite was more like a luxurious hotel room than a hospital chamber. The doctor and the nurse were ready to help with the serum but Morgana was already standing up with effort, not wanting to be so helpless, however Arthur was there to help her sit on the bed and take the serum to the stand by it.

'We'll manage, we'll summon you when we're done with our talk over the state matters that arose,' Morgana said as the nurse and the doctor could only nod and leave them be, closing the door and finally giving them privacy the glass walls of the previous room couldn't give.

'Quiet the dismissal,' Arthur murmured with a small smile, the first he gave ever since the truth was out, Morgana smiled and touched his cheek with her hand as he stood before her and she was still sat on the bed with her legs surrounding him.

'I learnt from the best,' she whispered and he smiled more warmly. 'Are you ok?' she asked then softly and Arthur sighed and kissed the palm of her hand.

'I don't know… I need time to realize what has happened… first I almost lost you, then I had Merlin and his lies… now my fath- Uther and his own lies… I need time.' Arthur confessed and Morgana nodded and placed her other hand in one of his.

'I can imagine how you feel…' Morgana whispered and Arthur sighed and nodded as he looked into her eyes. 'It's not my place to speak of this, but you should forgive Merlin, he exposed himself to save me.' Morgana said and Arthur frowned at her.

'He lied to me,' he pointed out coldly, Morgana smiled.

'So did I with you for weeks while I was here…' she retorted and Arthur sighed.

'You're different.' He tried.

'No, I'm not, if I lived in a place that condemned magic I wouldn't expose myself either, the fact that he did so as to save someone you care about shows what kind of person he is… and you shouldn't lose such a person now that we're losing so much…' Morgana replied and Arthur sighed as he paused and looked at her, maybe she was right, maybe he had been too hard on Merlin when he would do anything for another magical being that now smiled at him in triumph.

'I'm not sure I missed our arguments,' he finally said and Morgana chuckled.

'I'm not sure you will ever win one so I understand.' She replied and he grinned and kissed her lips as he cupped her face with his hands, her own hands moved close to his arms as the two enjoyed the kiss.

'I would sacrifice my place on the throne for you to see another sunrise…' he whispered as they rested their foreheads against each other, Morgana sighed and pecked his lips.

'Arthur…' she whispered and he looked at her as she moved further on the bed but held his hand… 'I think we're ready,' she whispered and Arthur knew what she meant, they were honest with each other, they almost lost each other, of course they were ready. He climbed up on the bed as she lay on her back and they met again on a tender kiss as her hands moved to his shirt and started unbuttoning it until she opened it completely and ran her hands up and down his toned torso. He moved his own hands to her gown and he almost thanked whatever God up there for the hospital and its large gowns that didn't have buttons and laces…

The deepened the kiss and their hands started roaming on their bodies and soon Arthur was helping Morgana take off the nightdress, his own clothes were soon following in a heap by the bed and lastly she pushed off his shoulders the shirt. The two looked at each other deeply in the eyes as their naked bodies grinded against each other.

'I've never before…' Morgana trailed off in a whisper and Arthur nodded and caressed her cheek and jaw with a tender hand, she had teased him about a boyfriend in Avalon when she had first arrived and he could remember the jealousy, the churning feeling in his stomach, he could remember the desire the night of the rite and his dreams awoke, and now he was the one for her, always knowing there wouldn't be anyone else…

'I love you,' he whispered against her lips as she wrapped her legs around his waist and helped him find his way home, with a gasp of pain from her and a small sigh from him, they became one and they captured their lips in another kiss as they remained still for Morgana to adjust.

'Please move,' she gasped after a few moments and Arthur was more than glad to obey at her wishes as he was dying slowly within her warm body.

They danced in the most ancient of rhythms, the rhythms of love and passion, they whispered and moaned each other's names, caressed and grasped, kissed and bitten on each other's skin until the pleasure was too much and Morgana was the first to fall over the edge, screaming his name and taking her lover with her as Arthur pushed two more times hard within her and finally climaxed with a whisper of her name in his lips.

'I love you too,' Morgana said softly as he laid next to her and they struggled between tired chuckles and kisses so they could get under the covers. Arthur noticed her blood on the sheets but Morgana reassured him with a look that she was alright. After the plane crash, the pain from their first time was nothing and she was a strong woman. He hugged her tightly as they lay naked in their embrace and he kissed her forehead as she closed her tired eyes.

'Sleep, my Morgana,' he whispered against her skin as he sighed in momentary calmness.

He wished no more blood would be shed from either of them, he wished he could sleep now with her in his arms and when they would be awake, everything would be to normal. He wished his father wouldn't have betrayed him, he wished he wasn't so confused about Merlin or worried over Morgause and the war that could be just outside the door.

Little did he know his father and Morgause were already in an agreement against them, Morgause was on her way to the hospital to take Morgana away and Uther was waiting for him. Furthermore, Arthur and Morgana had no idea they had just fulfilled both the prophesies with his blood taken within her veins a few hours ago as to preserve her and that same blood, Camelot's blood just spilled in the name of the union between a witch and a man born of magic… a union that resulted to the escape of a powerful sorceress out there and the creation of another magical being within Morgana's womb… her and Arthur's son.

OH! Bingo! that was a turning point wasn't it? Morgana and Arthur finally cleared everything between them but another Pendragon and a le Fay are ready to raise hell... and merlin listened to the whole deal, will he speak? and we have MORGANA AND ARTHUR HAVING THEIR SON! oh how much I wanted the prophesies to finally become true... I hope you all enjoyed it guys, let me know what u think over the armor scenes and the deal between morgause and uther... these two can be seriously mean if they want to...
