Previously….

As Emrys and Le Fay showed their love for one another physically for the first time, neither of them realised their eyes where shinning a pure electric gold. Their magic was crackling and thrumming through the bodies adding to the pleasure they were feeling.

Their moans eventually started to increase, and their bodies started to move more quickly in perfect unison, until they both suddenly cried out one another's names as they fell over the edge of pure pleasure and landed in a realm of pure ecstasy.

And when that happened, their magic combined together flooding out of their bodies. And while the lovers looked into one another's eyes silently, their love shinning for one another, they didn't realise what was happening around them and further into the distance.

Their magic spread and danced in joy across the kingdoms, trees grew taller and stronger while flowers showed their stunning colours. Their magic continued to flow; crops that needed help started to grow.

People within a mile of their position smiled for no reason, while people who were ill instantly felt better. One house in Essitier rejoiced the most though as they started to hear their new-born cry for the first time, tears of relief flooded the parent's eyes as they heard the sound. Little did they know that because Emrys and Le Fay had shown their love for one another, their child's heart had started beating once more.

A need for information

Chapter 33

Essitier forest morning ….

Merlin awoke with a pleasant feeling running through him; he knew he shouldn't feel this way after everything that had gone on recently but he didn't think he had ever felt this content. And it was all do with a certain someone who was lying atop of him, her naked skin causing a tingling to run through his body.

Making love to Morgana had been the single most amazing feeling he had ever experienced, everything had been perfect, exploring her beautiful body and expressing his love for her was something he would happily do until the end of time.

Looking down upon his sleeping love, he couldn't help but run his fingers through her long perfect hair. Her surprisingly loud snoring, for someone so petit was something he could listen to forever , as he continued to run his fingers through her hair she eventually started to wake .

Morgana slowly opened her eyes to the sight of Merlin looking at her lovingly god I could wake up to this forever she thought. After last night, and her and Merlin's expression of one another's love she couldn't help but feel even more connected to him , even more so than their normal magic connection . She had heard stories of sex, but she knew what she had experienced last night hadn't been sex, it was two people showing how much they truly loved one another and it had been perfect. Her heart beat rapidly just thinking about it.

Slowly she started placing kisses upon his chest, and each scar upon it. The action sending shivers of pleasure down both their spines this is how it started last night was the thought running through their minds , but they knew now the sun was up they needed to start their journey home as there was lots to do , not only that they had Anna ,Ella and Gili to look out for .

" You know Morgana" Merlin said getting her attention , her emerald-green eyes peering up at him " While I would give anything to make love to you all day in this forest , and believe me I would , I mean I hate myself for even saying what I'm about to say"

"But we need to head back to Amatas" Morgana finished what Merlin started causing the warlock to nod.

Slowly Morgana crawled a little up Merlin's body, placing her hands either side of him and looking down at him with a smirk on her lips.

"Just so you know my love, when we get back to Amatas I don't care if it's under attack, where spending the first few hours in our room"

Merlin smiled up at her "definitely" he said a growl in his voice as he rolled her over onto her back causing her to giggle.

Looking down at her, staring into her eyes and the happiness radiating from them made him fall in love with her even more.

"Last night was perfect Morgana" Merlin said softly as he raised a finger to her face and brushed a stray hair out of her eyes.

"It really was my Emrys" Morgana replied before pulling Merlin into a fierce kiss.

Eventually they got up and put their clothes back on before heading back to the others, hand in hand they wandered through the woods, both noticing the fact everything in the woods had grown , or at least blossomed overnight . The once dank woods know looked breath-taking, and that wasn't the only strange thing that they noticed on their way back to the campsite. Because on the way they were being followed by a different array of animals, all of them seemed to flock around their feet.

What was the strangest occurrence of all though, was when they arrived back at the camp. They had expected three tired and down looking people, instead they found two young girls giggling as Gili tickled them as they tried to squirm free of his hold .

Merlin and Morgana looked at one another confused about the sudden change overnight, both wondering why the forest bloomed beautiful, and three previously terrified and scared people where know the picture of happiness. Both had their suspicion's why, but neither wanted to say it aloud, it was just too strange to voice.

It wasn't long after that a previously sad and scared group of people went into Essitier and collected some items before heading back to Amatas, smiles adorning their faces.

Darkling woods….

Galloping horses and birds chirping happily was all that could be heard as Uther and his knights rode through the darkling woods and ever closer to the city walls off Camelot. It seemed as though these woods once dark and dank had blossomed overnight into a beautiful and lush assortment of flowers, and greenery. No one seemed to pay attention to the strange overnight change, as most where still lost in thought over there failed mission to capture the lady Morgana, one knight was paying attention to the changes though, and that was the night Sir Edward.

He was getting nervous, well worried was more the word. So far his plan had gone well, he had one part of the trinity crystal, a king who listened to his every word, although he didn't care if Uther lived or died he wasn't hugely essential to his plan but he didn't think he could wait any longer and he didn't quite feel like manipulating another king, Uther Pendragon would just have to do. He had followers who lived all over the different kingdoms , followers who like himself waited in the shadows for when the time came that he needed them , he was so well hidden no one thought anything of him , he was just the kings boot licker whose bark was worse than his bite . The only threats he could think of, where only enemies of Camelot not him. But that thought changed in one moment outside Kanens Keep.

He had never felt such powerful magic, when he had sensed it, it worried him. He was also sure whoever it was, had turned theme selves invisible and had stared straight at him. He had mastered spells like that many years ago , he knew what you saw when you used an incantation like that , he was well aware of the dark smoke , the dark aura that clouded around him , it was almost like a beacon that screamed evil .

He had his suspicions that it was Morgana Pendragon, or at least someone she associated with now. After Uther announced she had magic he had been surprised, but when he thought about it, her sister Morgause was as well, so it must have ran in the family.

As the group continued on and edged closer to Camelot, Sir Edward plotted his next move, first he need to send a message, and second he needed to find out everything he could about Morgana Pendragon.

Amatas...

Gwaine looked around as everyone dug into their dinner. Well everyone apart from Merlin, Morgana, Leon and Morgause. With Merlin and Morgana gone on an errand for Balinor , an apparent super-secret one no one could know about and Leon and Morgause not leaving their room both of them in an emotional turmoil , Gwaine couldn't help but think That dinner in Amatas had become a morbid and a boring affair . Everyone seemed miserable; he even felt a little miserable himself.

Gwaine had to admit he really missed Merlin and Morgana. He knew everyone did but wouldn't come out and say it; their personalities really lit the place up. They also loved to wind-up the princess of Camelot, something he enjoyed to do as well. He remembered the last dinner they had when the two where here and could help but smile to himself. They had made it almost unbearable for Arthur, especially when Morgana used magic and made Arthurs chicken dance before he could eat it or when Merlin had whispered a spell and frozen Arthur's drink so when he tried to take a sip all he got was a block of ice fall out of his cup. He was sure Arthur was about to cry when that had happened, something that Gwaine found hilarious.

When Gwaine looked towards the future king he noticed something though , unlike the others who ate quietly with no real expression on their faces , Arthur had an almost shit eating grin plastered on his face why is he so happy? Gwaine wondered until he looked at who Arthur was staring at. The person Arthur's gaze was locked on having an almost identical expression on her face , really Gwen, really Arthur, ogling each other at the table? Deciding he needed to interrupt the eye sex that was going on, Gwaine picked up the slice of bread he had on his plate and threw it at Arthur, the bread slapping him straight in the face.

"Stop drooling over each other when where at the table princess" Gwaine said, a smirk appeared on his face when he heard a growl come from Arthur, it was Hunith who spoke next though.

"Gwaine stop playing with your food or they'll be no more" her tone serious.

Gwaine lowered his head and looked at his plate defeated "sorry Hunith". -

As Arthur started to smirk at Gwaine being chastised by Hunith, he stopped as soon as he caught Huniths stare now trained on him; Merlin's mother was seriously intimidating.

"And Gwaines right Arthur" Hunith said still staring at the future king" you and Gwen do need to stop drooling over one another , that's not how we behave at the dinner table ".

This caused both Gwen and Arthur to blush, which in turn caused Balinor to laugh.

"You tell em dear" the Dragon lord said smiling -

After being embarrassed by Hunith, Arthur tried not to stare at Gwen, but he just couldn't help it, not after what she had told him yesterday, not after she had made him the happiest man in all the kingdoms.

Camelot nightfall...

When Sir Edward along with Uther and the other knights finally entered Camelot's courtyard, Sir Edward wasted no time as he jumped of his horse and made his way to Gaius's old physician chamber. It was a place he spent a lot of his time as the old man was now on the run from Camelot.

As he entered he quickly grabbed hold of a small scroll of parchment and began to scribble a message in black ink.

ADB

Be ready for a visit anytime soon, much to discuss.

From whom that you serve.

Rolling the parchment up, Sir Edward then walked to the physician's chamber window and whispered a small spell. Not long after a raven appeared upon the windowsill, flapping its wings and cawing. Attaching the rolled up letter to the raven's foot, Sir Edward then whispered another spell, not long after the raven flapped its wings and flew off to its next destination.

With his message now sent, it was time for Sir Edward to something he truly dreaded. But if he wanted information on whether Morgana was a threat he only had one place he could go. Sighing he quickly threw on a black cloak and put the hood up so his face would be covered for when he made his trip. Because to his annoyance, he was going to visit someone who held a grudge against him and had for many years, he was going to visit an old hag who lives under a tree.

Amatas nightfall….

Leon looked upon a now sleeping Morgause, her light breathing bringing massive relief to him. Ever since she had found out about Mordred she had been desperate to find him, she didn't sleep, rarely ate and when her scrying didn't work she stopped talking altogether. He hated seeing her like this, he was hurting inside about his missing son but he knew he had to be strong, knew he had to be a rock for Morgause.

He didn't know what had changed, but it seemed like in a matter of moments the night before, Morgause had gone from a sobbing mess to sleeping soundly , something that had carried on to the next day where she had slept on and off. She was also looking a lot healthier, Leon just hoped she would awake clearer headed and less emotional because it was the only way they would be able to work out how to get their boy back.

Unknown location…

Sir Edward took in a deep breath as he got his bearings, using a teleportation spell always did that to him, it annoyed him to no end that a suffered a little motion sickness from performing that spell .

Looking around his surrounding and taking everything in, he knew most people would be intimidated by where he currently stood. The large amounts of fog, and old leafless trees along with the smell of death would make most people weary, not to mention what dwelled in these woods but he knew, and after an incident centuries ago he couldn't help but hope what dwelled in these woods would actually talk to him. Sir Edward let out a laugh when he remembered what the incident was oh well she got what she deserved he thought to himself smiling darkly.

"Best get this over with then" he muttered to himself as he started moving through the lifeless woods.

Eventually he came to a large oak tree in the center of this area, a large opening in the side of it. Moving confidently, Sir Edward entered the opening that led into a cave, he continued through the darkness until he reached an open area where he knew an old friend of his dwelled. Waiting patiently for what he knew was to come; he decided to amuse himself with a cheery whistle. Not long after he heard movement and a gruff voice ring fourth.

"Who dares enter the home of the mighty Dochraid?"

Sir Edward let out a laugh, Mighty? She surely thinks a lot of her self

Eventually an ugly old woman with burnt out eyes, ratty hair and rotted teeth walked out. Sir Edward stood unfazed as she grabbed his hand and started to smell it only to pull back with a hiss and a growl.

"YOU!"
