Morgana Pendragon was unrecognizable when Ruadan had found her. Her hair had been full of grease and dirt. Her black dress was covered in mud. Her skin hadn't seen the sun for two years.

It had been two months since she had been rescued. Ruadan and his small troupes- which were growing each day not only achieved their rescue mission but also managed to escape from Sarrum's wrath with their lives.

Now the last High Priestess was lying on her bed, sleeping.

But not peacefully.

She was turning and stirring.

In her dream, she was in Isle of the Blessed. This was the place where she saw her sister last. And now she was standing in front of her. After Sarrum's horrible torture, seeing her sister should have been a joy but she was exactly like the last moment. Her face was half scarred, she looked thinner and weaker.

"Sister" the blond woman called out in a whisper.

Morgana ran towards her sister's arms. "You can't know how good it is to see you."

"Sister, look at me we don't have much time. If I could I would give you every time in the world."

Morgana slowly drove away from her to listen to what she was going to say. The voices of crying and screaming covered the background.

"The spirits of the Isle of the Blessed are restless. They can't bear the injustice had been done to us anymore."

"What can I do?"

Morgause broke the eye contact and slowly walked away from her.

"Bring the servant Merlin here. The boy has some atonement to make."

"What does Merlin have to do with…"

Before she could get an answer to her question she woke up.

Morgana checked the surroundings of her darkroom. This was no ordinary dream, this was a message. Morgause had never let her down. If she wanted her to bring Merlin to Isle of the Blessed, then she was going to find a way.

"Tell Ruadan I need to speak with him."

Things have been peaceful since the last time they overthrow Morgana. Gwen was getting accommodating to her queen duties. Arthur was in a much more sensible mood. The only actions now days were training sessions, stealing tarts from the cook with Gwaine and Percival, and helping Gaius clean the leech tank.

Then a trespasser came to inform about them Morgana. Arthur and Gwen were listening to the trespasser carefully catching every detail. Merlin was listening to them standing in front of a pillar.

"Sarrum has imprisoned her for two years, my lord. But recently there are rumors that a magic-user – Ruadan has helped her escape. I am afraid the witch might be a problem again in the future."

Gwen gave Arthur a concerned look. Merlin looked thoughtful.

"We hadn't heard from Morgana ever since her last coup. How did Sarrum capture her? How did he manage to imprison her?" Arthur never called her a witch. He hated that word.

"I can't answer that, sire but I know he put her chained in a pit for two years. Along with her dragon."

Merlin's eyes widened and Gaius realized it also. What happened to Morgana caught him unguarded. Chained in a pit for two years? What kind of cruelty was this? He looked at Arthur, he looked as sorrowful as he was. And Aithusa. He was a baby. No. It can't be Aithusa. At least, he hoped so. But there can't be any other dragon. Kilgharrah was too big and powerful for Sarrum to capture. But Aithusa was completely defenseless. Why didn't Kilgharrah tell him about this?

"Do you have any information about where she is now?"

"I know her and Ruadan's troupes were settled down on a Valley of Fallen Kings now sire."

"Thank you. Knights, prepare for going to Valley of Fallen Kings tomorrow."

As Arthur finished the meeting and went to his chambers with Gwen, Merlin came behind them.

"How can anyone be capable of such cruelty," Gwen asked.

"Sarrum was always a harsh judge. I heard lots of wicked stories about him and the things he did during The Great Purge," Arthur said grimacing but then he pulled himself together. "But we cannot let Morgana wander freely, as soon as she gains her strength back she will use it to bring Camelot to its knees again."

"This might be a trap you know," said Merlin. "Suddenly someone came out of nowhere and he knows both Morgana's imprisonment and whereabouts."

"Then we will be ready. We have to stop Morgana before adding Saxons there to her troops before it is too late. Or else, we might be in real trouble in the future."

"I won't be able to dissuade you, will I?" Merlin took his change.

"No."

"Great" Merlin huffed.

"Take care of him will you Merlin. You know how he is" Gwen said to her warmly.

"Don't worry, taking care of the prat is my specialty."

"And take care of yourself" Gwen added.
