Here is the Knights of Idirsholas part 2 and I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 14

Merlin ran through the castle before realising he had no idea where Arthur and Morgana were. "Where are you" he asked Morgana through their link and waited until he heard her echoing reply of "the throne room" and then he disappeared and reappeared behind a pillar in the throne room.

He looked round the pillar and saw Morgana looking worriedly at Arthur who was yawning and looked as if he was just about to go to sleep. Arthur was leaning against the door through which Merlin could hear the knights of Idirsholas trying to get in.

He watched as Arthur finally closed his eyes and went to sleep. Then Morgana began to run forward to wake Arthur up; as she did this Merlin stepped out of the shadows. "Leave him Morgana" he said and she turned around to face him.

"This is your last chance to choose what side you are on; Morgous's or Arthur's." Merlin told her. Morgana looked at him terrified. She looked round to the door then her gaze slid down to Arthur. She took a deep breath then said "Arthur's"

Merlin relaxed slightly and stepped towards her, "Then you must trust me. Morgous put a spell on you to make those around you sleep, we need to break that spell. There is a way, but it is dangerous and you may die." he explained.

Morgana bit her lip "Is there no other way?" she asked. "To kill you" replied Merlin with his eyebrows raised. Morgana hesitated before saying "then I choose the first way" she said.

Merlin smiled at her "first we need a way to leave Camelot without threat from Morgous." He said. Merlin thought for a moment before saying "I need to knock you out." Morgana stared at him "What?" she asked. "I need to knock you out. You won't be harmed I promise." Merlin Replied.

Again Morgana hesitated before nodding. Merlin then raised his hand toward Morgana and she fell into his arms. He then transported her to the edge of the lake of Avalon and laid her on the ground before transporting back to Camelot.

Merlin then made a connection with Morgous. "Morgous" he said. "Who are you?" came back a question in reply. "I am a protector of Camelot you will leave now and release your control on the knights." commanded Merlin.

Merlin heard laughter echoing through his head before Morgous said "Why should I leave, you won't you even face me" Merlin frowned "I don't need to face you, I have morgana, she will be returned to Camelot safe and sound as long as you leave Camelot safe and sound under Pendragon rule." He said.

"You're bluffing" replied Morgous. "You think so? Try and sense Morgana then if you don't believe Me." answered Merlin. There was a moment of silence before Morgous asked "What have you done with her?"

"I have merely taken her away from the castle. She will be returned when you have left" Merlin replied. "Why are you doing this? Magic is outlawed under Pendragon rule." said Morgous. Merlin sighed and answered "No, Magic is outlawed under Uther's rule, Arthur will be a much better king"

"Then why not let me kill Uther?" asked Morgous. "Because Arthur is not yet ready to be king" replied Merlin. Morgous then became angry "I will find out who you are and you will pay for defying me." She shouted threw the connection. "Remember, I have Morgana" replied Merlin dangerously. There was a moment before Morgous said "very well, I am leaving" before she cut the connection.

Merlin felt her magic leave and heard the knights go limp. Just to check he went over to the door and opened it; outside were the seven knights lying on the floor. Before leaving Merlin took one of the knight's swords and turned back to Arthur.

Merlin paused while looking at the prince; he then snapped his fingers and a pencil and paper appeared. He quickly wrote a note and left it by Arthur. Just then Arthur began to stir and he opened his eyes. Merlin stepped back before quickly disappearing.

The prince shot bolt upright "Merlin?" he asked loudly before looking around and realising the room was empty. He then looked to his side and saw the note; he picked it up and read it.

Right so firstly; don't be angry, I have just about single-handedly saved all of Camelot. Secondly, you might have noticed that morgana is missing. That is because Morgous had put a spell on her that made everyone fall asleep, I have taken her to break that spell.

Your father should wake in a few hours and if Morgana is not back by then, please distract him so he doesn't notice that she is missing. At the latest she should be back by tonight. Or she's dead, but I probably shouldn't have mentioned that. She will be fine; probably.

I told you I hadn't abandoned you

Merlin

Arthur sighed and looked around again. He noticed his father and decided to take him back to his chambers, how he was going to explain all this, he had no idea.

At the shores of the lakes of Avalon, Merlin had just appeared and was now crouching over Morgana. He woke her up and said "Are you ok" Morgana nodded and stood up. "Where are we?" She asked. "This is the lake of Avalon" Merlin replied "We might be able to break the spell here."

Morgana turned to him "Are you sure that I'm the source; you're not falling asleep" she asked. At that moment Merlin yawned "I am falling asleep and I am sure; I have good sources of information." He replied.

Morgana nodded and turned to the lake "How does it work then?" she asked. "Last time I was here, the person had to go into the lake, alone" Merlin replied. Morgana nodded and without any more questions walked into the lake.

Unlike Freya, she only had to go in waist height before something happened. The world around her seemed to freeze and a little blue pixie appeared. "Do not shame us, we are no pixies; we are Sidhe." It said.

Morgana frowned and it smirked at her mockingly "We can read your thoughts lady Morgana, I know what you are thinking." The Sidhe said. "Then you know why I am here?" Morgana asked. The Sidhe nodded "We know a lot of thing, you are her to break a spell, but I ask why we should? You were willing for this dark magic to be placed on you, why should we take it off?"

"Because I am not the same person" answered Morgana "I realise that I was wrong and know that the near ally I made was evil. I no longer follow that dark path into shadows, please I ask you to help me" The Sidhe tilted it's head "A valid argument and I can see that you speak the truth; at least you think you do. Prove it to me"

"How" asked Morgana. "Throw away the last tie to that side of you that you possess. Toss it into the water and the spell will be broken." replied the Sihde. Morgana frowned in confusion but then she remembered. She lifted her wrist up in front of her and looked at the bracelet that was on it; the bracelet Morgous had given her.

She took it off and was about to throw it into the water but she paused. The bracelet was so pretty and it was the only connection left to her sister. Then she remembered why she was there and she turned to look at Merlin. The look of caring on his face was enough for her and she whirled back around and tossed the bracelet into the lake.

There was then a bright light and when it faded she found that she was back on the shore standing next to Merlin. "Are you ok" asked Merlin. Morgana steadied herself and nodded "I hope I never have to do that again" she said. Merlin smiled at her and said "I'll take you back to Camelot." She smiled back before they suddenly appeared back in her chambers.

"How did you do that?" she asked in awe. "Magic" Merlin answered obviously. "Will you teach me?" Morgana asked. Merlin hesitated "I would but there is no time, if I ever come back then I will teach you" he said.

Morgana frowned sadly "What's wrong" asked Merlin. "I just feel that sometimes, the magic gets to strong, like I will lose control again like I did when I first found out I had magic. I don't want to lose control of my magic. What if I get found out or hurt someone? I don't want that to happen" Morgana explained.

Merlin sighed "When I was little, it was like that me too." he said "I didn't know anyone with magic and I didn't have any friends. I used my magic and nearly killed my best friend, but he survived and I stayed his best friend but it haunted me forever. At the start of each week I would put a load of energy into one thing so it didn't have a chance to lose control again. I did accidently blow up some trees but that didn't matter." Morgana laughed when he said this.

Merlin walked over to Morgana's dressing table and picked up a ring with a white gem in it "You might not be able to blow up a tree every week but if you ever feel like you need to get rid some energy you can use this ring."

Merlin closed his eyes and muttered are words in the old religion. "I have enchanted it so that you can store as much energy as you like inside it and if it is ever needed you can draw the energy from it, though it is hard and I haven't managed to find a way to control the flow out of it so it may be dangerous to try but it will be safe to put any energy you want inside it."

Then he gave Morgana the ring and she slipped it on and smiled, "Thank you merlin" she said. Then before he could leave she hugged him again. Then he stood back and disappeared; just as Arthur came in through the door.

"Morgana, you're all right" he said thankfully. Morgana laughed "Why wouldn't I be?" she asked. "Merlin told me that there was a chance you may die" explained Arthur. "Well I didn't, wait, Merlin spoke to you?" Morgana said. "No, he left me a letter" replied Arthur bitterly. Then he looked up "He spoke to you, didn't he." He said. Morgana paused before saying, "Yes, I spoke to him"

"What did he say?" asked Arthur eagerly. "He gave me a way of controlling my magic." replied Morgana. "Is that all?" asked Arthur, downcast. "Yes Arthur, I'm sure he'll talk to you when he's ready." comforted Morgana. "Sure he will" Arthur said sarcastically; Morgana just shook her head at him.

Meanwhile in the village of Eriswell, Merlin walked back into his house; where he found a not so pleased wife. "Where have you been?" cried Freya. "Hunting, we need more food." replied Merlin. Freya put one hand on her hip "And you couldn't tell me first?" she inquired. "It was a spur of the moment sort of thing" answered Merlin. Freya raised her eyebrows "You've been out ALL day" she said. "You know how bad at hunting I am" was merlin's excuse.

Freya hummed disbelievingly "did you catch anything?" she asked. "A deer and two rabbits" he replied, laying his catch out on the table. "You used magic" Freya said. Merlin nodded. Freya sighed, not quite believing Merlin but deciding to drop the subject "Ok, if you say so, let's go to bad" she said.

I hope you liked the second part. If you have any questions then feel free to ask. THANKS
