Chapter 2 : In a Land of Myth

Camelot

700 ad

In the land of Camelot, currently a time of turmoil was happening. Cornelius Sigan, the greatest warlock the land of Albion ever knew, had managed to find a host body and was attacking Camelot by reanimating the gargoyles. One of the Gargoyles was coming after Arthur Pendragon, the Crown Prince, right now. Luckily for him, and unknown to him as well, he had a guardian angel. "Astrice!"

Merlin's spell easily shattered the gargoyle and he rushed to inspect his master/ friend. Merlin had come to Camelot a year ago, and had been serving and protecting Arthur with his magic since he was under the belief that Arthur would one day allow magic to practiced freely in Camelot again.

A chilling laugh filled the courtyard. It echoed in time to the pulsing energy that had become a second, sickening, heartbeat.

"Who would've believed it? You, a sorcerer, and a powerful one." Cedric's voice was different now, resounding with power. The power of Cornelius Sigan. "I felt your power, little one, even as I lay so cruelly entombed."

"I won't let you hurt him." Merlin said with determination as he stood between Cornelius and Arthur.

"And you're going to stop me?" The voice was mocking as Sigan stepped closer, a shuffle at a time.

"I'll stop you." Merlin said.

"He does not deserve your loyalty. He treats you like a slave." Cornelius said.

"That's not true." Merlin denied, even though it was kinda true.

"He cast you aside in favor of this host body without a moment's thought." Cornelius reminded him.

"That doesn't matter." Merlin said as he tried to deny it.

"But it must hurt so much to be so put upon, so overlooked, when all the while you have such power." Cornelius said, remembering the days when he all but ruled Camelot. Hell, he had built the place.

"That's the way it has to be." Merlin said stubbornly.

"Does it? You're young and inexperienced, Merlin. Look inside yourself. You have yet to glimpse your true potential. I can help you." Cornelius urged him, "Think about it, Merlin. To have the world appreciate your greatness. To have Arthur know you for what you are."

"That can never be." Merlin said.

"It can, if you join me. Together we can rule over this land. Arthur will tremble at your voice, he will kneel at your feet." Cornelius said, as normal humans were not meant to rule over his kind.

Merlin seemed tempted for a moment, but he quelled the desire, as it wouldn't be right to do that. "I don't want that." Merlin said with finality.

"You'd rather be a servant," Cornelius said in disbelief. To Sigan, who had been the greatest sorcerer to ever live, it was unfathomable. The boy clearly had no self-respect, if he was willing to serve someone who treated him like a slave.

"Better to serve a good man than to rule as a evil one," Merlin said and this seemed to anger Cornelius. Cornelius was not evil, at least, not according to Cornelius.

"So be it. If you will not join me, I will take your body and your great power will be harnessed to my will," Cornelius declared as Cedric's body shivered and a blue mist left Cedric's body, killing the host body as Cornelius moved to take Merlin's body. Unfortunately, Merlin's natural power plus the ancient spell the dragon had taught him, were just enough to put Cornelius back into the heart-shaped diamond that housed his body in the first place.

Yet, while Uther celebrated this 'triumph' over magic, the Cornelius Sigan that Merlin thought he had defeated was not the true Sigan.

Somewhere in Japan

Naruto woke from his bed in a stir, having sensed what was happening with Sigan. 'hmm, feels like someone broke into my vault.' Naruto thought as he sat up, thinking about the British Isles. For over 700 years, he had traveled all over the land's of Europe, Africa, and Asia. During his travels, he had done as he had promised his wife Qetsiyah on her death bed, using his great power to protect witches and warlocks by killing those that would oppress them, and teaching them as well. 300 years ago, he had traveled to the Isle of Britain and met a man named Bruta Pendragon. Back then, Britain was engulfed in an endless cycle of bloodshed and war. Both men saw this. Bruta and Naruto wanted the land to be at peace, but for different reasons. Naruto saw the constant warfare as detrimental to the culture of the witches and warlocks who lived in Britain and Bruta wanted the endless war to stop so innocent people did not have to suffer for the bloodlust and ambition of a few people. So together, they put an end to it when they gathered together the elders of each tribe and drew up plans for the lands to be divided in a way that each would rule over their land as they saw fit and respect the boundaries. And so, Bruta became Camelot's first king. Naruto worked under the name of Cornelius Sigan, and served as Bruta's advisor for 40 years, advising him on magical matters and building the Citadel. After 40 years, Naruto decided to leave to continue his travels, but not before sealing all the wealth he had acquired as Sigan inside a vault, leaving a small piece of his power to protect that wealth should it one day become discovered. He also intended to come back for that wealth one day, as Naruto had learned over the centuries that money and precious stones become worth more as time goes on.

"Seems I need to make a trip back to Britain." Naruto thought as he made to get out of bed, but was stopped as the two women in his bed woke up and pulled him onto his back. The regent of the witch community he was currently in and her sister were quite beautiful and he had slept with them a number of times during his 2 month stay. While he protected and taught witches, he also bedded them. His wife would have wanted him to continue living, and resisting the pleasures of the flesh was impossible for Naruto, as he enjoyed having sex far too much to give it up. He had taken other wives, countless lovers and sired thousands of children in those 700 years since Qetsiyah's death, and his children did not inherit his immortality though they did live longer than the average human.

'Hmm, maybe in a few more days, I'll make the journey back,' Naruto thought as the Regent moved to suck his cock while he kissed her sister.

3 months later

Camelot

AREDIAN'S GUEST CHAMBER

Aredian, Merlin, Arthur, Uther, and Morgana watch the guards tear the room apart, trying to find evidence of sorcery. Aredian was a 'witchfinder' and had been called on to find the sorcerer's in Uther's kingdom, after Merlin had been dumb enough to practice in the open. Aredian was actually a charlatan and faked most of it for money. He, in reality, had never actually found a sorcerer, until he discovered Merlin and Morgana. Once Gaius was dealt with, and Merlin's accusation's debunked, Aredian planned to pay the boy back.

"You're wasting your time."Aredian said.

"Check the cupboard over there." Arthur said and the guard obeyed. The second he opened the cupboard, dozens of amulets drop out, and a stash of Belladonna tincture was found inside. Merlin had used a spell to multiply the amulet that Aredian used to frame Merlin and the Belladona tincture to exaggerate the 'threat' of magic in Camelot.

"These things don't belong to me! This is a trick! *cough* That boy plots against me!" Aredian shouted in anger before he hunched over and spits out a toad, caused by another spell Merlin had cast the previous night.

"Sorcerer!" Uther exclaimed as he, Arthur, and the guards drew their weapons. Aredian grabbed a dagger and the Lady Morgana, holding the dagger to her throat and backing up, using her as a hostage..

"Aredian, think carefully about what you're doing. You will never escape from Camelot alive." Uther warned him. Uther did not want his secret daughter to die.

"I will if you value the life of your ward. Hmm?" Aredian warned as he backed up further, hoping that Uther cared about Morgana enough that he would let Aredian escape.

Merlin was about to cast a spell on Aredian's dagger, but just as he was about to, everyone was stunned when a blur passed through their line of sight, and suddenly, someone appeared in front of Morgana and Aredian, his hand on Aredian's dagger, holding it and his arm away from Morgana's throat.

Morgana was able to see her savior for herself. He had a mane of spiky hair that reached his upper back and was so blonde that his hair appeared to be golden, his eyes a brilliant sapphire blue. He had a powerfully built figure and his black leather boots, black linen breaches, gray tunic and black leather trench coat did little to hide it. On his right ring finger, he wore a simple silver ring with the of a raven embossed on it. His most prominent feature though, was the 3 whisker birth mark's on each cheek.

"You tried to kill one of my own, witchfinder," Naruto growled, not that Uther could hear it, as he gripped Aredian's throat with his free hand. "You're gonna regret that." Slipping his hand off of the dagger blade and onto Aredian's wrist, Naruto broke it with a twist before throwing Aredian into the far wall with one hand, the impact causing a visible spider-web crack to appear on the wall as the witchfinder felt his spine crack and fracture and he cried out in pain. Naruto appeared in front of him and extended his own out toward Aredian's chest before he incanted a spell. "Amach a cridhe!" Aredian cried out as the skin and flesh in his chest tore itself open, before he groaned as the arteries and veins connected to the heart were forcibly severed before his vital organ flew out of his chest and into Naruto's hand, leaving a sizeable hole in the witchfinder's chest as he died. Naruto licked the blood off of his hand, since as a True Immortal, he still needed to consume blood every so often so his body could function like normal.

"Another sorcerer!" Uther shouted in anger. Naruto turned to Uther, Arthur and the guards who were about to rush him.

"I have nothing to say to you, monster, only that the days of humans murdering and oppressing my people in these lands are coming to an end. Now sleep," Naruto commanded and everyone aside from Morgana collapsed to the floor due to Naruto's compulsion.

"Worry not, my Lady, you're safe now." Naruto said with a smile.

"Who are you?" Morgana asked. Not that she wasn't grateful but he was a stranger.

"My name is Naruto, although in this land, I am known as Cornelius Sigan." Naruto said as he fingered his old signet ring, causing Morgana to back up in fear. "Relax. I'm not going to hurt you."

"You're an evil sorcerer, who tried to overthrow Camelot's first king. You attacked my home only months ago. Your supposed to be sealed back in your tomb." While Morgana was a witch herself, untrained though she was, Sigan's attack had put her life in danger.

"Who told you that I was evil? What lies have been spread about my origins these last 3 centuries? Bruta Pendragon was a good friend, and I helped him break the cycle of never-ending warfare in Albion, and establish the kingdom you know today. Hell, I built this very Citadel with my magic. I left Albion after Bruta died and journeyed to other lands, while I left a shade to guard the vault that held my wealth. It only attacked Camelot because the idiot king broke into my vault and tried to steal my riches." Naruto said as his presence calmed Morgana, her magical instincts telling her she was safe around him.

"Now then," Naruto said as he sat on the desk, "I've been back here for 1 month and the land of Albion has fallen into ruin. In every single kingdom, witches and warlocks, our people are oppressed, outlawed from practicing their craft, and in some Kingdom's like this one, Amanta, and Odin's kingdom, our people are burned, raped, executed, and tortured. The order of the High Priest's and Priestess decimated down to maybe 2 members across both orders. Our people cry out for deliverance. And I'm going to give it to them."

"I could kill Uther now, but that wouldn't solve the problem. It's not just him, after all. But this started with him and make no mistake, he will die." Naruto said as he stood up. "And on that day, you will not have to hide who you are anymore."

"What?" Morgana asked.

"I'm not a fool dear. I can sense your magic." Naruto said. "Magic is not something that one can just gain. We who possess magic, are born with it. Some just unlock the ability to use sooner that others. I come from a line of witches whose origins lie in lands southeast of Albion. I was born with it, as were my parents, and their parents before them. They were fortunate to live in a land of prosperity and not one where the land's king's declared war on sorcery."

"I, too, have known Uther's cruelty. Even before I awakened my magic. He threatened to kill me once when I helped a druid boy escape Uther's wrath. And every day for the past few months, I have lived in fear because if he discovered I have magic, he would kill me without a moment's hesitation." Morgana trembled in fear as she looked at Uther, hoping he wasn't hearing this.

"Magic is not a crime. It is a gift. A blessing." Naruto said as he concentrated his magic as causing a white rose to grow from the stone floor, before he plucked it from the ground and handed it to Morgana, causing her to smile. "Our people deserve to live freely to practice their craft without fearing reprisal of those who have no place or right to judge us, of those who are beneath us."

"I can't stay much longer. Our people's deliverance won't manifest by itself. Before I leave, I have a gift for you." Naruto as he reached his hand into his private pocket dimension and pulled out a book.

"What is that?" Morgana asked, as was fascinated by what it was.

"A grimoire," Naruto said, to her surprise and excitement. "A book where a witch or warlock records all knowledge of their spells, hexes, rituals, recipes, and magical knowledge. This particular one belonged to a High Priestess that I'm told recently passed away. It will help you learn to control and master your power, while at the same time, help you appreciate what all of our people are not allowed to do. But hide it well. I don't need to tell you what Uther will do if he finds out."

Morgana clutched the book to her chest, as this was a magnanimous gift, greater than any she had ever been given before. Overwhelmed by emotion and feeling safe in his presence, she surged and hugged the immortal to his surprise. "Thank you. This is a greater gift than I have ever been given."

"I'm grateful you like it, Morgana. But please, you must not be discovered. Worry not, We will see each other again someday." Naruto said as he sent her on her way, with her wrapping the book in a cloth. Naruto thought of leaving then, but he decided he wanted to talk to Merlin real quick, so he kicked him awake.

Merlin groaned as he felt like he had a headache. "Get up, boy." Naruto said as he looked down on Merlin. Merlin scrambled to his feet.

Naruto inspected him and said, "Hmm, so you're the one who stopped my shade." Naruto was referring to what Merlin thought was Sigan.

"Who are you and what have you done with Arthur?" Merlin demanded.

"Calm down, your prince is just sleeping. You are the one I wanted to speak with." Naruto said as he eyed Merlin. "I don't get it."

"Don't get what?" Merlin asked.

"Why would a warlock with your level power serve Uther Pendragon?" Naruto demanded.

"I don't serve Uther Pendragon. I serve Arthur." Merlin said.

"And Arthur serves his father, so by extension, you do serve Uther. I ask again, why?" Naruto demanded, compelling Merlin to tell him the truth.

"I believe in a fair and just land, where magic is not outlawed. The Great Dragon told me that it was Arthur's destiny to unite the land of Albion and that it was my destiny to help him." Merlin admitted, before he widened his eyes in shock.

"The Great Dragon? Why would Khilgarrah help you?" Naruto thought out loud while Merlin panicked.

"Why did I tell you that? What have you done to me!?" Merlin demanded.

"I don't have time to answer questions, boy." Naruto said as he sped forward, slamming Merlin into the wall, his hand on Merlin's mouth. "Hope you don't mind if I take a peak." With that, Naruto used his telepathy to read Merlin's mind, looking specifically through his memories concerning Camelot; Merlin tried to throw him out, but Naruto was stronger by far. A few moments later, Naruto angrily threw Merlin to the ground.

"You…are…despicable." Naruto said as he glared down as Merlin. "You would betray and murder your own kind? IN DEFENSE OF HIM!?" Naruto shouted as he pointed at Uther.

"It wouldn't be the right way. No matter what he has done, he doesn't deserve to die!" Merlin exclaimed, only for Naruto to punch him to the ground.

"THE HELL HE DOESN'T! UTHER AND ALL THE RULER'S OF THESE LAND'S ARE AMBOMINATION'S! MONSTER'S!" Naruto shouted, "HE WIPED OUT THOUSANDS OF HIS OWN PEOPLE, JUST BECAUSE HE LOST HIS WIFE DUE TO MESSING WITH FORCES HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND! HIS MEN BUTCHERED INNOCENT MAGIC USERS, RAPED THEIR WIVES AND DAUGHTERS, DROWNED INNOCENT'S AND BABIES! BURNING MY PEOPLE AT THE STAKE, JUST FOR BEING DIFFERENT AND BETTER!"

"Yet, no matter how bad Uther is, your worse!" Naruto as he lifted Merlin to his feet, choking him with one hand. "You are in a position to end Uther's reign, and instead of doing that, you save his life! More than once! And kill your own people in the process! Yeah, some of them did abuse their gifts, but the other's? The one's who wanted revenge for what that monster did to their families? So what!? He deserves a thousand death's for what he has done!"

Naruto threw him back down to the floor and towered over him, causing Merlin to cower in fear. "I'm gonna let you go this time. But if you kill another of my kind or try to, there will be no saving you."

Naruto sped away at a speed that Merlin, even with his enhanced eyes, could not track. Merlin feared for Camelot's safety with someone like him running around.

The Castle of Idirsholas

Naruto arrived in the castle of Idirsholas an hour later. HE was here for the Knight's of Medhir. Medhir had been one of his students while he had been Cornelius Sigan. Her plan had allowed him to escape but he had learned that Medhir became corrupted by the dark magic she used to turn the Knight's of Medhir into her unkillable puppets. Medhir was innovative and intelligent, but she lacked willpower and discipline.

'Hope you don't mind if I borrow them, my old student' Naruto thought as he entered the room where the knights were centered around the brazier and used a spell to reawaken them. "Cnihtas Medhires, éower sáwla sind min sáwla. Onwác and cóm hér eft. Rid eft ond forsliehð eft. Gehðu, Albion!"As the old bones of the knights cracked and they reawakened under his command, he smirked as with them at his side he will have a much easier time ridding the land of those who would oppress his people.

Amanta

If there was one kingdom that stood as a testament to the hatred of magic, it was Amanta. The kingdom was led by Sarrum, a fat ball of lard that looked like someone took an egg, painted it, and then put hair on it. Sarrum was a vicious sadist, seeming to enjoy impaling women and children. Particularly those with magic. He was also much worse than Uther. While Uther had killed several thounsand of witches, Sarrum had murdered nearly 10,000 in brutal and sadistic ways.

Currently, some of Sarrum's men were undergoing a weekly purge in one of the villages on Amanta's border, participating in a orgy of rape and murder. The men that followed Sarrum were completely loyal to him, because they were as depraved and monstrous as he was. They terrorized their own people with glee on their faces. Poor young Mordred had somehow found his way here, after Arthur had attacked the camp of Druids he had been staying with some months back.

"Come here, you fucking druid whore!" Shouted three of the soldiers as they pulled on Mordred friend and crush, Kara.

"Kara!" Mordred cried as he tried to reach her, but he was pulled away and punched in the face by a solider, and then thrown to the ground.

Two of the soliders pulled Kara's arms apart and ripped off her dress as the 3rd one started to unbuckle his pants. "We are gonna have some fun with you before you die!" He shouted with glee as he and his fellow soldiers were so inhuman that they were going to rape a 10 year old girl.

That all changed when a sword pierced him from behind. The soldier gurgled in shock as the sword was pulled from his chest, and the air shimmered as Naruto appeared, dressed in black clothes and all black armor. Naruto carried a very special blade with him. The blade was typical knight blade. The pommel was a blood red studded bevel. On each side of the bevel was the black three-headed dragon. The grip of the sword was made of pitch black leather and blood red metal cord was wrapped around it several times. The blood red crossguard bent towards the blade some. Along the half of the blade that is close to the crossguard, blood red letters in the language of the Old Religon are engraved on a black setting on each side. The words say, "Fire and Blood". This was Dark Sister. The legends about what a sword brandished or forged with dragon flame could do had begun with him, as he was the first to ever receive one. It had been a reward from Kihlgarrah when the dragon was much younger and more brash, and lost in a duel between them.

The 100 soldiers raping and abusing the village stopped what they were doing. They were so used to their victims never fighting back, that they could not even fathom one of their own being killed. "Maraigh na Saighdiúirí! Cosain an tuathánaigh!" Naruto shouted as he gave his knights orders. As one, the Knight's of Medhir emerged from the shadows, and began killing the soldiers of Amanta with ease, while leaving the civilians alone.

Naruto then sped at superspeed to the two guards that were holding Kara, decapitating them both with a single stroke of his blade. Naruto then looked at the soldiers holding Mordred and incanted,"Forbearne!" The two guards then it up as they were engulfed in blue flames.

While they burned, Naruto turned the naked and fearful young girl, and unclasped his cloak, and wrapped it around the afraid girl. "I'm so sorry I wasn't here to stop this, my child. This should never have happened." Naruto said as he rose to his feet. "Just stay here. I'll fix this." Naruto then moved off to slaughter the rest the soldiers.

Seeing one of their own control the Knights of Medhir and use them to save the villagers own lives, and seeing one of their own fighting back gave these people something that had been beaten out of them, something they had given up on. Hope. Hope for a better life. And the courage to fight and die for it, as some of the men and women picked up arms and began fighting back or blasted the soldiers with spells of their own.

Later

As the piles of corpses burned, Naruto turned to address the 50 or so survivors of the attack.

"I know that many of you have suffered for years. Some of you, your entire lives, you have known nothing but persecution and violence at the hands of those that claim to be your betters. Some of you have prayed for a savior, to deliver you from this torment. Some of you have prayed that the savior would be Emerys. But, my children, Emerys is not the prophesized savior you hoped he would be. Emerys is currently in Camelot, masquerading as a servant and protecting Uther Pendragon, a man who is almost as bad as Sarrum!"

"My people, my children, you cannot wait for someone else to deliver you from torment. You must fight for it yourselves, for we deserve to live freely and practice our craft without being judged for being different. And if you follow me, I promise you, you will see that day come!" Naruto shouted as his eyes glowed purple with power, which was mirrored by 50 sets of glowing golden eyes as the rebellion against the oppression of magic began.

2 weeks later

In the capital of Amanta, the fat tub of lard known as Sarrum was sitting on his throne in fear while outside his palace, his whole country burned. But not as it used too. 2 weeks ago, one his raids on his people was stopped and 100 of his men were killed. Rebellion swept across the land like a plague as thousands of Amanta's oppressed magic users formed an army to oppose his rule, uniting under the banner of a red tree on a black field. The red tree symbolized the Rowan Tree, a very important symbol in the Old Religion. And against an army that could use magic, Sarrum was shown the futility of fighting such a force as his army that was 5 times bigger was wiped out with barely any casualties on the magic users side.

Sarrum jumped in fright when the doors to his throne room cracked and creaked under a great force, before they were blasted open, crashing to the floor and killing some of his soldiers. In strode Naruto with the Knight's of Medhir at his back.

"Your majesty," The Immortal mocked as his knights killed the other Amanta knights, while Naruto sped over to Sarrumm and gripped him by the throat. "I'd like a word."

"I want to show you something." Naruto said as he tossed Sarrum into the courtyard, and the fat king was met with the glares of thousands of magic users as Amanta burned around him. "These are the people you were supposed to protect."

"No. No. You can't do this." Sarrum weakly pleaded like the wretch he was.

"Actually, I can." Naruto said as he ripped Sarrum's clothes off until he was in his underwear.

"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT! I AM THE KING!" Sarrum shouted, though his bravado was false and everyone could see it.

"Not Anymore." Naruto said as he crushed Sarrum's crown to dust in his hands. Naruto then used his magic to cause a tree to grow around Sarrum, leaving only his head visible.

"This is your moment of triumph, my children. This man allowed your husbands and sons to be murdered and tormented, allowed your wives and daughters to be raped. Take your vengeance." Naruto urged them on and the of magic users where overwhelmed by the desire for vengeance.

"P-P-Please," Sarrum pleaded pathetically but his pleas for mercy fell on deaf ears as 20 witches cast a Forbaerne spell, igniting tree and gleefully watching the fat king and the final tormentor burn to ash as he was slowly incinerated with the tree.

Next morning

The capital city of Amanta was a ruin as Naruto stood on the steps of the palace, his army filling the courtyard and the streets, along with other witches and warlocks that weren't in his army. There were no non-magical's left in the kingdom, as Naruto and his army had wiped them all out.

"My children," Naruto spoke in a loud voice that reached the ears of everyone in his army, "All of you have suffered at the hands of a man who believed himself to be your better, and treated you like you were less than dirt. Now…you are liberators! Together, we have freed Amanta from the grip of a tyrant and those that would help him oppress you!" His army and even the civilians witches and warlocks cheered for him.

"But! The war is not over!" Naruto continued as they all were enraptured by his charisma. "We will not lay down our weapons and calm our magic until we have liberated all of Albion! From Uerturio to Cornwall, from the Western Isle to Kent, and North-Umbria to Camelot itself. Women, men, and children have suffered for too long under the wheel of oppression of those who do not have magic."

"Will you help me break the wheel!?" Naruto asked his people, and resounding cries of approval filled the air. After what these people had suffered at the hands of Sarrum and non-magicals, a land filled with only those with magic seemed like paradise.

Naruto waved his hand's and as if time was being reversed all the damage previously done to the city was reversed, returning the city and palace to perfect conditions.

Inside

Naruto sat on a throne forged from the swords of the defeated enemies of his people as he plotted his next move.

"That was a rather rousing speech," came the voice of a woman in a red dress, and he turned to Morgause, the last High Priestess of the Old Religon, entering the throne room from behind his throne.

"Our people have suffered for too long at the hands of non-magicals. It's time to change that. I am not normally an advocate for genocide, but Uther and his ilk have made it the only recourse. There will never be co-existence with magical and non-magicals in Albion. Not after what they've done." Naruto said as Morgause to sit in his lap.

"And I will be there with you to rebuild our people from the ashes when this is all over," Morgause said to him as they shared a passionate kiss. When he had come back to Albion, Morgause had sensed his arrival and sensing his massive power, sought him out, hoping to gain a powerful ally to get revenge on Uther. Suffice to say, she was shocked at how old he was, as they exchanged information, with Morgause informing him what had happened to Albion since his departure, and Naruto explaining to Morgause who he was. Together, they had agreed to work together to restore magic to the land, and they had become lovers as well. Morgause, for the first time since her parents death, felt at peace when she was in Naruto's presence.

"How's your sister?" Naruto asked as he pulled away.

"She's doing well. I gave her one of our mother's bracelet's and enchanted it so her visions would stop causing her restless nights." Morgause said, "Her power is growing by the day. You gave her Nimueh's Grimiore, didn't you?"

"Well, she needed a powerful grimoire to learn from. Nimueh was one of the strongest Priestess's to ever live. Her knowledge will help Morgana become more powerful." Naruto said. "How did your plan with Arthur go?" At Morgause's grimace, Naruto sighed. "That bad, huh?"

"For a moment, Arthur was going to kill Uther, but the serving boy, Merlin, stopped him. Managed to talk him down so he wouldn't go through with it." Morgause said in annoyance as she was certain such a terrible secret would drive Arthur to kill Uther. Yet Merlin was able to talk Arthur down by lying his ass off.

"Arthur killing Uther would have weakened Camelot and kept them distracted while we dealt with the southern kingdoms, but it is no matter. We cannot be stopped." Naruto said wrapped an arm around Morgause's waist.

"Now then, what do you say we celebrate this victory in our new bed?" Naruto suggested as he sped them to his new bedroom, to celebrate their first major victory.

3 Months later

Morgana and Merlin were running through the halls of Citadel, trying to escape the Knight of Medhir chasing after them and the sleeping king they were carrying. The entire city had been put to sleep, thanks to Morgana being the vessel for Morgause's sleep spell. Morgana was fully aware of it, in fact, Morgause requested permission to use her for the spell and Morgana agreed. The long 3 or so months of studying and practicing her craft as a sorceress had made her feel for her people that were oppressed and only magnified her desire to bring Uther down. It also helped that the army of the Old Religion, the Army that Naruto and Morgause created, was already invading the Kingdom. They had conquered all the Kingdoms south of the Camelot and were now moving North to take all of Albion back for the Magical folk. Morgana tripped and fell down, but Morgana was, in reality, keeping up her act until Arthur and Merlin finally fell asleep.

Merlin, seeing this and being none the wiser of her true intentions, hesitated when she called out for him to help. He still cared about Morgana as a friend, but the Dragon's words rang too deeply in his ear. He could not, would not risk the life off Arthur and since she was the source of the sleep spell that had Camelot asleep, she needed to die so with a heavy heart, Merlin continued to drag the sleeping King Uther away, leaving Morgana to die.

Morgana, for her part, could not believe that Merlin, someone she still somewhat considered a friend, was leaving her to die. As the Knight of Medhir drew closer and raised it's swords she was filled with a righteous anger and that anger fueled her magic as she dropped her act for a moment and lashed out in anger at the Knight, even though it wouldn't actually hurt her, since all the knights were under orders not to harm her. "Forbearne Ácwele!", Morgana exclaimed her eyes glowing golden as a fireball came to life in her hand. To Merlin's shock as he had only ever seen Nimueh do that. The former High Priestess had nearly killed him with that spell. The blast hit the Knight, leaving a gaping burning hole in it's armor and sent it flying across the hall. And as Morgana rejoined him to drag Uther away, he was filled with fear at how strong she was becoming and more certain than ever that the Dragon was right about her.

Later

The Throne Room

"You left me to die, Merlin. Why!?" Morgana demanded when Arthur went back out to fight the Knights.

Merlin, who had his back turned to her, was busy adding the Hemlock to the water. He knew now he needed to stop her and was fully committed, even though it would be tough to do this to a friend, but he also didn't want to dirty his hands, so he would poison her instead.

"I'm sorry Morgana. It must be the spell. It's affecting my mind, making me not think straight. I swear I would never do that to you normally." Merlin said in the most Merlin-y way he could. This seemed to placate Morgana, though she was still angry and took the cup of secretly poisoned water he held out as a piece offering with an angry huff. Within moments of drinking the Hemlock-infused water, her throat began constricting and she had trouble breathing.

Merlin wipes the tears of shame from his eyes and then turns to face her. Morgause sensed something is wrong as she pulls her sword out of a winded Arthur's stomach. Merlin tries to hold Morgana as she struggles to breathe, but Morgana blasted him away with a telekinectic blast in her distress. Morgause begins to hold her throat like Morgana as she senses what's wrong with her sister. She used her magic to blow the council chamber door open and rushes to Morgana, taking her from Merlin's arms.

"What has he done to you?" Morgause asked softly as she held her choking sister.

"I had to." Merlin argued.

"You poisoned her!" Morgause said in shock. The plan should have been full proof. Both Morgause and Naruto figured that Merlin would be to sentimental where Morgana was concerned to do anything but it seems they had underestimated the boy's cruelty.

"You gave me no choice." Merlin argued again.

"Tell me what you used and I can save her." Morgause demanded of him.

"First, stop the attack!" Merlin demanded.

"I will not be told what to do by a traitor to our kind! Uther will die here today. It's already to late to save Arthur." Morgause said with a sneer. Naruto had informed her about Merlin and suffice to say, she was disgusted that this pathetic farm boy had all this power and instead of using it in service of his kind, he used it to protect the one that kills and persecutes them.

"What!?" Melrin said in shock as he heard what she said about him and then saw the blood on her sword and realized in horror that in must have been Arthur's. Before Merlin had time to get angry and fight Morgause, he was magically thrown against a far wall as a blur appeared next the two daughters of Golrois.

"I was already on my way when I sensed something was wrong. The Army is an hour behind me. What happened?" Naruto asked, holding a bloody Dark Sister in his hands..

"The traitor has poisoned Morgana, and I don't know what poison he used." Morgause said in panic at the thought of the sister she had just started to bond with dying.

Naruto wracked his brain quickly and remembered a spell that could save the young woman who was his lovers sister. "I know a way. Let me see her." Morgause handed her sister to the man and he held the dying woman in his arms.

"Egredere, purga omne venenum ab hoc et mulier sana eam." Naruto said as his eyes glowed with magic and he kissed Morgana on the lips, his spell working instantly as a golden aura covered their form as life returned to Morgana and the poison was purged from her body.

Morgana had unconsciously drew herself further into the kiss, before Naruto pulled back and Morgana coughed as fresh air filled her lungs. Morgause held and comforted her sister as Naruto stood and the knights of Medhir entered the room, one dragging the corpse of Arthur Pendragon, causing Merlin to cry at his friends death.

"I warned you, boy," Naruto said ominously as he strode forward, "I warned you what would happen if you tried to kill another innocent of our kind. Well boy, your luck has run out." And before Merlin could utter another word, Naruto swiftly beheaded him.

"Please finish up here Morgause. I have a dragon to slay." Naruto sped away to massive dungeon beneath the castle that housed the Dragon.

Kilgharrah's dungeon

The old golden dragon awoke when he noticed something was wrong. The old dragon sensed Merlin and Arthur's life fade from existence. But that should have been impossible. Merlin was born of Magic, he was a unique creature that could only be killed by a sword brandished with dragon flame. And the only one with a sword like that Naruto Uzumaki, and he shouldn't be anywhere near Albion.

"KHILGHARRAH!" Naruto roared, causing the old Dragon to fly down as this was something he need to see. The old dragon landed in his usual spot when Merlin wanted to talk to him.

"Naruto Uzumaki. Albion has not seen you for a long time." Khilgharrah noted.

"Unfortunately for Albion. Because if I had been here, people like Uther wouldn't be able to harm my people. I'm here to deliver your punishment for putting Merlin up to killing Morgana." Naruto growled.

"The witch would have been the death of both Merlin and Arthur. But it hardly matters now. They are dead, and with it, any chance of a peaceful co-existence between man and magic in Albion will die." The Dragon said, "I have feared this moment ever since I helped Merlin defeat your shade. I know what you plan to do, but I beseech you, old friend, not to kill me. I am the last of my kind. If I die, my noble race will be no more."

"You should have thought of that before you plotted to kill an innocent woman." Naruto said before he threw Dark Sister at Khilgharrah's chest at a speed no human could have followed. The sword pierced through the dragon's tough scales and the point found the flying lizard's heart. The last dragon roared in agony and then his roars of pain died, as did he. Naruto pulled the sword from the dragon's chest and went back up stairs to see to the slaughter of all the non-magicals. Once everything was settled, Uther would be executed.

2 weeks later

Camelots Throne Room

Morgana lounged on the throne of Camelot, the golden crown resting on her head, while Uther, who was bound in chains, was dragged in by four guards. They roughly tossed him to the ground and he struggle to rise to his knees as he had been starved and beaten for the last 2 weeks. The guards then exited the room, guarding the door's to the Throne Room.

"Father." Morgana bit out derisively, her words full of venom. She had discovered, thanks to a heritage ritual performed by her sister, that Uther was her father. Morgana hated Uther and now she would have to live with the fact that the man who once threatened to kill her for defying him, was her father.

"Why are you doing this?" Uther asked pathetically. He was a sad sight to look at, with having not eaten in a long time had caused him to lose a lot of weight and was almost gaunt. That would have been a sad sight, yet the bruises from his hourly beating made him look more pathetic.

"Oh, come, come. Surely you of all people must understand. Sometimes such measures are necessary." Morgana mockingly chastised him.

"Those people were innocent." Uther pleaded with her as he had been forced to watch all of his people be slaughtered like sheep. Well, the non-magicals, at any rate.

"As were so many of my people that you put to death." Morgana told him with a scowl as she glared at the kneeling king. "You have no right to complain. You, despite knowing that I was your secret bastard daughter, your blood, threatened my life, simply for doing what was right. Is it really any wonder that I genuinely feared for my life, when I became one of the people you hate and revile unjustly."

Uther could not find words to counteract her argument. He had done exactly as she had. He chose to plead with her instead. "Kill me."

"You'll get your wish. But not just yet. First I want you to suffer a little more as I suffered. To know what it's like to be alone and afraid. To be disgusted with who and what you are." Morgana told him as she examined her sperm donor. He was already somewhat broken from watching magicals take-over the kingdom, all the non-magicals being slaughtered, and the death of his son. But he was not fully broken. Not yet, at any rate. There was still one thing he cherished, that she could destroy. And she would.

"Do you really hate me so much?" Uther begged to know.

"Words cannot describe the depths of my hatred for you." Morgana told him as the doors opened to reveal Naruto himself walking in.

"Father, I'm sure you remember this man. He saved my life from the that nasty witchhunter. He also is the one who showed me the goodness of magic." Morgana said as she lavished praise on her savior, twice over. She then turned to Naruto. "Have you given anymore thought to my proposal?"

"I have considered it greatly. And I have spoken about it with your sister at length. She has no problems with it. And I would be honored to return your love, Morgana." Naruto said with a smile as he wrapped his arms around her and they shared a kiss.

"What?" Uther asked as he did not understand before he realized who this was and what this meant for his daughter and his bloodline. "No, NO!"

"That's right, father." Morgana said when she pulled away from Naruto. Naruto has agreed to become my husband. Our child will rule over all of Albion once he is full grown. And it will be a kingdom for witch kind. A paradise for users of magic. And now, you will go to your death, knowing that your descendants shall be the witches and warlocks that you tried to wipe out." Morgana returned to kissing her soon-to-be-husband as Uther was dragged away by several soldiers.

The Next Morning

Uther stood on pyre, tied to a post in the middle of it, binding him as his daughter prepared to execute her bastard father by burning him, like he did to so many witches. Morgana stood with her sister and Naruto on the balcony that Uther stood on whenever passing sentence on a witch.

"My fellow witches and warlocks," Morgana addressed her kind that had gathered to watch this tyrant die. "The monster before you is guilty of many crimes, including persecution of our kind unjustly, and murdering us in the thousands. For the crime of judging us and persecuting us for crimes we never committed, my sister, the High Priestess Morgause, and my betrothed, Naruto Uzumaki, have both recommended he burned at the stake, like he did to so many of our people. What say you all?" A resounding roar of approval came from the crown.

Morgana smirked down at Uther, who looked up at her pathetically, his eyes watering with tears, no longer able to resist or utter a word.

Naruto, Morgana, and Morgause all concentrated their magic and incanted the most basic Old Religon spell for fire. "Forbearne," They said in unison. Their magic ignited the pyre underneath Uther and he screamed in agony as his skin charred, his blood boiled, and his insides were cooked.

Morgana breathed a sigh of relief as her new husband held her against his hard body and her sister stood next to her as her sperm donor died down below. At last, Cameolot was free of the tyrant Uther and soon Albion would be a paradise for Magical people everywhere.

Chapter end

Was really not sure about this, but I already had this chapter mostly written and decided to go with it.
