Mystery of the Fae
*Stare* This was what met Morgan as she hid behind the woman that she had been following. It did not help that she was really confused. The list of reasons why was extensive. She had been being punished by her uncle only to be somehow saved by what she had been told was magic, she had vague memories of a beautiful blond but she could not make much out of what happened. Then when she woke up she was given a large explanation in which she ended up having an emotional breakdown.
So here she was in a room with a large number of people staring at her. It was scaring her as there were quite a few men that she had never seen and her experiences with the male gender were not exactly pleasant. The red haired woman smiled down at her encouragingly. It did not help though as her instincts were conflicting with what she knew.
She knew that she had never seen any one of these people before, she knew that they had never met her before. However knowing this did not change the fact that they seemed to be looking at her with looks of recognition, emotions ranging from happy to conflicted, this confused her.
It was not as bad as how her own emotions were raging depending on who she looked at. The man with white hair and cloak made her blood boil with rage for no understandable reason, just a feeling of hate and betrayal. The blond and green eyed woman dressed in blue made her feel of guilt and regret, there was also love but it was intermingled with jealousy. So many complex emotions were tied to her.
The one in red had pride along with the in the place of jealousy. There were so many confusing emotions tied to the people in this room that she was almost overwhelmed. There was however one which stood out among the rest, longing.
It was all overwhelming. She was feeling flushed, it was as if some sixth sense that she was not quite able to be in touch with yet was being drowned by the people in the room, the warmth that she had been feeling since the door opened. It was making it hard to concentrate, to think. It was then that Morgan collapsed into the arms of Ritsuka overwhelmed by the powerful auras of those that were occupying the room, her sensitivity to such things being high due to her fae heritage and not being prepared for it she was knocked senseless.

It was with a sight that Ritsuka laid the girl down into one of the seats at the table, she had not expected such a reaction.
"Do not worry yourself master, from the report from her medical check she is a part fae, this means that she is much more sensitive to mana than others,even most demi-gods. With her being a rebirth i would not be surprised if she subconsciously recognised some of the mana signatures in the room" said merlin trying to sooth ritsuka his eyes however where on the child, taking in the features.
"So this is the one," said Arthur with a raised eyebrow. "She does look like mother" snorted mordred. "Now Mordred, remember that she has lived a different life. She is for all intents and purposes a different person" said Gawain to his fellow knight.
"Why thank you for that vote of confidence my son." came a voice that they all recognized, their heads turned to the girl to see her eyes opened and a blue glow around her. Her body morphs into an adult shape. "Merlin, how unpleasant to see you again." she said, nodding her head at the incubus. The room was tense seeing the witch taking over the child's body, the knights started to inch towards their weapons.
"Ohh relax i am merely a fragment, a messenger if you will, to explain the circumstances around the little one, we have a short time to discuss and then i am gone and all that will remain is her, my legacy." explained le fay Getting reluctant nods.
Ritsuka took point as there were things she needed to know, politically. "You say you are a fragment, does that mean you know about Morgan's life up to now?" she asked, getting a nod " yes it was required so that in the case i would be needed to teach her, or explain her circumstances, why?" le fay asked with a frown.
Diving straight into clear the most troubling of the issues, "so you are aware that she is of the potter family? Of the enclaves? How does her reincarnation affect that?" This news shocked the others in the room as they had never heard of such a family. They had heard of the enclaves but not that family.
Le fay thought shortly, "the potters are a old family, they actually go back to my own time though under a different name, due to that name change they lost a lot of the prestige,this was due to the original family only having a daughter and having to marry into the knew for political reasons." she explained getting nods from the knights. That was something they could understand, it was a common occurrence in their own time.
"Now within the enclaves there are 6 'royal' families, these families are above the most ancient and most noble families in rank. These are the founders, all of whom put their own ways in place to have an heir chosen by magic if they had no heir worth from their own blood." she explained merlin nodded showing that she was telling the truth so far.
"The next was the emrys line which is for the cambion troll across the table from me" she said as she calmly pointed at merlin who just smirked back at her. This provoked a scowl which she schooled quickly. "The last line is le Fay so when she turns ten have a goblin from gringotts to come and she can claim her right as my heiress, no one will have any right to her as she will be emancipated in the eyes of magic. Naturally she will still need a parental figure to take care of her."
Ritsuka nodded as this took care of the political part of her worries. The enclaves would not be able to reclaim her as she would have a guardian within the facility and being an heiress of a higher house would have her protected.
"What will she get as your reincarnation?" asked artoria, this peaked quite a few heads. Le Fay however sighed, she had been expecting this question and was not looking forward to it. "Everything. And I do mean everything. Since she is half fae she will be able to use all of my abilities and magic, it will just be down to being able to learn it and having my memories means that she will know it, intimately. I have however sealed those memories to let her start to form her own personality, her own ideas and opinions of people, this is why i am here, when I am through here I will be teaching her magic. Your job will be to raise her, the way I wanted to raise Mordred but my other sides would not allow." sighed morgan confusing some in the room.
"What the hell does that mean!" bellowed out Mordred in rage, Morgan just looked at Merlin knowing that they would not believe her.
With a sigh Merlin spoke "technically there are three Morgans." he said, confusing everyone but his counterpart. "Due to her 'role' in the world Morgan was imbued with as a child she was essentially split in two mentally, the role in which she would provide excalibur. This fundamental divide in mentality, one being pure light and one being pure dark caused damage to her leading to her seeming to be different people at times." the knights nodded at this, especially her children remembering times when she would suddenly change her mind for no apparent reason.
"Correct" lefay said, "i am hoping that with a firmer foundation before she inherits my memories she will not suffer the same fate, even if she does her mother had mentioned something called occlumency, a mental art which helps with the organisation and protection of the mind" Merlin's eyes widened at this before nodding, "i understand Morgan" she looked around " may i know who will be looking after her?" here lancer artoria stood "i will sister" she said looking at her. Morgan looked her sister in the eyes with water threatening to build.
"Thank you"she said quietly, "i wish you well but you have always done your best " she said with a small smile on her face. A blue light started to surround her, "well it looks like my time is up, please look after her, she has not had an easy time in life and deserves to have a good family. Even if I do not." "I will sister, we will." this got a nod from them all. "Ohh and she is not limited to being just a mage"came lefays words as she faded leaving just the little girl quietly snoring in a chair.
"What does that mean?" asked Mordred only to be answered by Ritsuka, "Well since she is alive she does not have a class." this got wide eyes from the room

Morgan's new life was different from any that she had expected. She had a new family, one that she had never expected. The fact that she was living with heroes of the past had been explained to her and that her new family were such never really registered to her.
Being regarded as family caught her off guard at first. At least until it was explained her circumstances, the fact that she had a past life. That confused her, they did not say who she had been, only that she would remember when the time was right. That they wanted her to have her own life and to gain her own experiences so that she would be her own person.
It had also been explained how she was a Fae, a magical race and that some of the things that she could do such as seeing lies were from her heritage as one.
So here she was a five year old girl in a government building with her new family and a complex situation. Sitting in the library with a dark haired man called ruler or as he had asked her to call him Sherlock teaching her, she had been assigned many teachers. She had been given Scathach as a physical education teacher, a lady called medea was teaching her some forms of magic along with the female merlin as for some reason she hated the other one.
Her list of teachers was very distinguished, the most important for her however was with waver and reines. This class was about the politics and disposition of the modern world as well as her position within the structure. Her being the soon to be heiress of one such distinguished house as well as being connected to chaldea, she would be offered a position there.

The years passed quickly until her tenth birthday, her lessons building in intensity with each growing year. Her tutors pushed her to see what her limits were. When her guardians were away on jobs for Ritsuka she would be watched over by a woman with blonde hair and cat ears called Atalanta who had a soft spot for children, she would play with her and read her stories.
When she was sick she was watched over by the strict woman called Nightingale who seemed to scare everyone into obeying her. It was something that she had noticed about her home that everyone had such strange personalities, all of them were very flamboyant, and expressive, strong and forefront.
During her years in her dreams she was taught how to use magic by a woman who looked similar to herself, taught how to call forth her own weapon/focus, it was during these dreams that a lot of her past was explained why she was so nervous around the males of the facility was due to the repressed memories from before her arrival here.
Why she was comfortable around others was her subconscious recognizing them from her past.
It confused her but the woman said it would all make sense soon. It was starting to make sense as she was starting to remember things that she had never done, things she could never have done due to the time period they seemed to be in. so it was that she started to head to a meeting with Ritsuka and what the director had called a goblin though she did not know why. She just knew that it was important.

Ritsuka was sitting looking at the file infront of her, the file of young morgan. The time for the goblin to do the blood check had arrived and she was looking over what the tutors had been teaching the child.
She had arranged for some of the more intellectual servants to help teach the child, this of course would be an ongoing process but with her being a fae she was more mature and advanced in intelligence than a human child so she was pleased to say that the girl was already half way through high school classes. This was on her tenth birthday.
She had some casters teach her how to handle mana manipulation as well as the potions. Then there were the physical teachers who helped her growth and skill with her staff and her physical abilities.
Looking up from the file as the door opened to see a goblin walk in surrounded by four guards, it was an elder of its kind carrying a bag that if her senses were correct had been enchanted in some way probably to allow it to carry much more than it should be able to. Standing from her chair she inclined her head in a slight incline towards the leader of the group.
"Welcome to chaldea, honored one" she said as she knew that they were a warrior species, they respected strength the fact that she had the strength to summon so many heroic spirits had won her the respect of their race.
"Thank you for inviting us," rumbled the elder and leader of the group. Before taking a seat before her desk as the guards peeled off, two outside the door and two inside.
"Might I inquire as to the reason for the invite?" he asked, "but of course." It was then that there was a light knock at the door. Followed by its opening. Behind it was the small ten year old blonde that she had just been reviewing the file of. "Ahh morgan welcome we were just about to call for you" said Ritsuka with a smile.

Meanwhile somewhere in Britain a woman within a private room opens her eyes.
AN: just so you know I will ignore non named reviews as its not worth the effort to pay attention to people who are most likely just creating troll accounts, over my time on this site I have watched good authors being bullied by "guest" accounts till they quit or move sites, I would hope that any review I receive are constuctive rather than just some annonymous moaning because it is not what you want out of a story. I am writing this for me, I post it so that people might enjoy my work.
