You know last week I was saying that I hadn't written much. Well this week I have managed to write 3 chapters. It was a good week for writing. I literally need to write 3 more chapters and then this will go on to 3 updates a week. Part of me cannot wait to get it out to you guys. Maybe it is because I am finishing another timeline I created.

I am at uni all day today and am updating this from my phone. I have checked it on the computer but I will double check it tomorrow when I am off.

Please enjoy this chapter.

The Castle of Fyrien

"He is good, I will give him that."

"Did you just expect him to let her die then?"

"No but she would have been in my care if that guard didn't happen to come by. I need her Cenred. I need her for my plans."

"I want to know why she is so important to you."

Morgause sighed heavily. "She is my sister. I … I was given to the high priestess as a babe. I only found out about her when I told everyone I was Morgause Le Fay. They told me that my parents only had one child called Morgana. I need her by my side."

"So how are we going to get her there? She seems on Merlin's side. How are you going to convince her that you cause is better than his claim."

"I need to talk to her. I need to get them out of Camelot."

"How?"

Morgause thought about it for a second before smiling to herself. "I know how."

"Sire there has been major activity on the border with Essetir. Cenred seems to be … well sending supplies across the border and transporting them somewhere in Camelot's lands. If we were not seen, I would assure you that we would have followed them to their destination but I fear that there were only a small number of us that got away with our lives."

Morgana watched Merlin as he took it all in. She had seen the chaos in the courtyard as men were carried up the stairs and to the physician's chambers. Some were even being treated on the courtyard but their injuries couldn't have been so severe.

"Which direction were they heading?"

"West sire. I have tried to think of all the places that were west of the border but there are so many."

"If they are heading west, they could be going to the Castle of Fyrien." Arthur said.

"They could be milord." The knight said.

"Rest." Merlin said. "There is nothing more that can be done now. Maybe you will be able to recall so more information after you have eaten and slept."

The knight bowed lowly and turned to do as his king had asked of him.

"We will question him more tomorrow. Court dismissed." He said as he got out of his throne and walked out of the hall.

"I want you to come with us."

"You fear …" Morgana started.

"If Morgause is involved then she wants me out of the castle. She wants to get to you. You are safer by my side."

Morgana placed her hand over his. "I do understand."

Merlin flipped his hand so that he was holding hers. He stroked his thumb against the back of it before giving it a kiss.

"I don't want to lose you. I have lost so much. I may have gained as much but I want to keep the people that mean the most to me."

"I do think I could handle her this time."

"I don't think she wanted to hurt you. Actually I know that she doesn't want to hurt you. But I am scared that if you stay on my side, she may believe that it is best if none of us have you."

"Are you feeling more comfortable in your role now?" Morgana asked, try to change the conversation on.

"I will never feel comfortable in it. More able is probably the right way of saying it. Just my father did make it look so easy. I have all these decisions to make and none of them seem to be on what I want them to be on. It feels like the council are ruling and I am just saying yes and no to them."

"It will come."

"I just want to finish what he started. I want magic to be free. Morgana, I dream about it every night. I dream about magic flowing through the streets. I dream about people standing in amazement at the skills of sorcerers. I want everyone to be free."

"And you will."

"I know that, you know that, everyone in the council knows that. But do the people. They are the ones that have suffered. I swear someone of them are expecting me to punish Uther more."

"Everything will be okay. Everything will come right."

"But how long will it take?"

Morgana let go of his hand and let it slip out of his grasp as she let back in her seat. "I don't know." She whispered.

"Nor do I." Merlin whispered back.

He doesn't really know why he is so surprised. It always seems to happen. It is a bit like their dungeon. Merlin makes a note that he should really talk to the council about that. Their dungeons were rubbish. He had easily got out of them some many times before.

But back to that fact that they were ambushed on the way and then brought to the place that they were heading to. So convenient. It is not like anyone had a plan or anything.

Merlin shook his head. He really shouldn't be sarcastic in these situations. He shouldn't really laugh at them. Because he was sure that to anyone else, it would look hilarious. The King of Camelot, the great sorcerer to ever walk the earth, stopped by a blindfold. He had to laugh didn't he?

The guard's hands left his wrist and he was sure that they were in a cell. Well he couldn't tell, he couldn't see.

"Arthur?" He hoped that he had been placed with his cousin.

"Yep."

"Please say that you can see."

"If you kneel, I can make you see."

Merlin did as his cousin ask and after a few failed attempts, he could see again.

Arthur turned to him. "Ta-dah, see I can do magic as well."

"Very funny." He said as he ran to the door.

"Plan?"

"Yep." He said as the lock clunked. "You find Gwen and I will find Morgana."

"Why do you think that they would be separated?"

"Because I believe Morgause is involved." Merlin said before he ran down the corridor.

Merlin leant against the wall.

"Why do I have to join you? Why can't you join us? We will complete the same goal. Why do it separately?"

He nodded in agreement. He had never thought about it like that and Morgana's point was a good one. Why could they do it together? They wanted the same thing.

"Because I cannot trust him. You may. I don't trust an Eorðdraca as much as I trust a Pendragon. They are as bad as each other. They believe that they are high and mighty but they are the same. No wonder Ygraine married into the Pendragons. They will stab you in the back Morgana."

"I know that Merlin can be trusted."

"Daegal" He heard Morgause say.

He scrunched up his brow in confusion. Why was he mentioned?

"He didn't die when Camelot was taken over as the books say. He was the same age as our father and Uther. He was the one to become friends with them first. Balinor just fitted with them better."

"Our father?"

Merlin sighed. That was the main reason Morgause wanted her. She was family. How much had he wanted there to be more to his? Morgana thought that she had lost all hers when her father died. It was going to be a shock to her.

"I was given to the high priestess at birth. I know that my parents were your parents. I am your sister Morgana. I had hoped that you would have recognised the emblem on my armour. It was our fathers."

"I … It has been such a long time since I saw it." Morgana confessed.

"It was an Eorðdraca that killed him, Morgana. Daegal killed our father."

Merlin's heart sank.
