"PERCIVAL!"
Merlin's heart stopped. It was Brynn's voice. Denar had struck him down.
"No, Perce, do not be dead…" said Brynn.
"You will pay for that!" shouted Elyon.
Denar forced the Knight backwards. Brynn turned her rage on Morgana.
"I thought you changed! Now you have let your guard down and hooked up with a murder! Tell me Morgana, are you satisfied?"
"Not currently, but once I am queen with Denar as my King, Camelot will be much safer, and magic can run free!"
"You will not see that day." Snarled Merlin.
Merlin charged, sword drawn.
"Really Merlin, you are a fool!" said Morgana derisively.
She sent him flying. Elyon had been downed with a spell by Denar, and Brynn was desperately healing her husband.
"Why do you bother with him Morgana? Was the dream a lie to soften me to you?" shouted Merlin.
"I think you were already soft with her." Scowled Denar, "You place too much trust in people Merlin."
Merlin turned white. What was he on about?
"My mistake." Said Merlin, glaring at Morgana.
Morgana's face was impassive. Denar had taken her from him. No longer caring about the consequences, Merlin shouted a spell at Denar. Morgana was taken aback.
"You are a warlock?" she gasped.
Merlin smiled mockingly.
"Bout time you caught on! Like I was really ever going to let anyone in Camelot know!"
"You could have helped me with my magic!" she roared.
"And get us both in trouble with Uther? You know the laws of Camelot Morgana. I had no choice. When I sent you to the druids that turned into a disaster. Magic can be used for good. Even though Uther hated it, I have saved Camelot many times."
Morgana was speechless.
"I thought you were once my friend Merlin, and I would not have told anyone, how… why, why did you not say anything if you knew it too?"
"Like I said before, if we had let know we had magic we would be killed. I did not want that for you, and being Uther's ward ran you more of a risk. But in the end, as you forget Morgana, Uther accepted you and welcomed you back, as did Arthur."
"I have not forgotten."
"Then what are you doing?"
"Morgana, enough with this prat! With both our magic, we can defeat him!" yelled Denar.
Morgana stood stalk still, unable to know what to do.
"If you will not do it, I will!" shouted Denar.
He cast his spell, but before he could stop himself, Morgana got in the way of the spell.
"MORGANA!" screamed Merlin.
She crumpled to the floor.
