Gaius didn't see Merlin for entire days at a time. He at first assumed it was Arthur increasing his chores but then the Prince came and complained that Merlin was frequently late and usually distracted. So Gaius guessed Morgana and Merlin were having talks like the one upon battlements. This made Gaius worried once more for the boy he cared for like his own son. He knew that Merlin was more affected by his mother's death than everyone realised. He knew that talk he had planned before he witnessed the talk on the battlements would have to happen soon. He didn't want Merlin to get hurt and knew that being with Morgana would hurt him. So he planned to corner him the next day after he'd finished his chores.
'When I've finished my work here I'll meet you with my things outside the gate. Camelot shall no longer have its guardian.' sent Merlin. He left the armour cleaning itself under his bed. Their plan was simple. Morgana 'kidnaps' Merlin in a ball of flame in the middle of the courtyard prompting a country wide search for the prince's loyal servant. They leave a fake Merlin with his throat cut somewhere and watch as Camelot mourns and then Emrys and Morgana rise out the shadows and destroy towns one at a time.

He wasn't sure when it had all changed but it had changed so much. A second purge had begun and finished within the months since he'd snapped. The magic was no longer his, the magic controlled him. And he didn't care. Three months since he learnt the four fold destiny and three months of peace for the Camelot he'd saved so many times. He mused how long it would survive without his protection. He knew that if he had anything to do without it would survive but at the highest costs possible. He didn't care if the Knights, Gwen or even Gaius died. They didn't matter. Nothing did. Then once again he saw the old physician staring at him and wished the old goat would get his nose out of things. He ignored the eyes boring into his back and walked purposefully across the courtyard shouting 'Now Morgana' in his head urgency slipping through the word like a choking vine. Then he felt the Blood Guard knife at his back and froze as he heard her whisper in that snake voice to stay still. She flashed a smirk at Gaius whose mouth drooped open in horror. She muttered the age old spell and they disappeared into the familiar silver twister.

Arthur Pendragon sat in his room staring at nothing not even noting Gwen's entrance. His mind was torn asunder. He knew that his father wouldn't let him but he wanted to run from this room and find Merlin, find Morgana and bring them both back. 'She knows what this is doing to me, to Gwen, to the Knights. What if she killed him? What would they do without that bumbling stupid idiot with them?' he thought. Gwen just sat next to him, hugged him and he knew she was feeling exactly the same. Then suddenly they both jumped. Words that were Merlin's snaked through their minds. 'Help me. Please find me I'm where we found Balinor. Please find me befo-' the scared urgent voice stopped abruptly bringing Arthur and Gwen's eyes up to each other.

Merlin and Morgana smiled at the same time. "It'll take them a day or two to get here. Let's get started." He said his voice slightly rough from under use. They hadn't talked in the hours since they left Camelot. They had no need. That day they worked on creating a realistic doppelganger for Merlin but that night Morgana was quiet, deep in thought and all of a sudden she asked "You said you were Emrys. Prove it." Merlin responded with a smirk to challenge her own and replied with another question "What would you suppose to be proof?" She quirked an eyebrow at this unexpected good humour and replied "Well it has to be something I've never seen anyone do before I suppose and I have known the two most powerful sorceresses of the century... Should I call you Merlin or Emrys?" He noted the challenge hidden her words and mused "Emrys, I suppose. Merlin left when his mother died. Oh yeah, proof. Watch closely."
He leant forward and as his eyes blazed the familiar deep gold a stick floated in him. He made explode into a thousand pieces then pulled it back to form a perfect sphere. Then he created an ornately carved M and passed it to Morgana. She held in gingerly in awe of the power used to make it and as she held it, it shimmered and glowed a thousand colours. "Wow...thanks, Emrys." she whispered to the man on watch for the night. He replied with a nod and a hint of a smile.
She had removed her bracelet so she could dream of her and Emrys and the future. She saw herself and him standing high in the air above the crumbling gate to the most powerful castle in all Albion. He was smiling like she did as The Lower Town collapsed, both his eyes and hers glowing a pure deep gold. Then she saw Arthur running out the Castle with Gwen and the remaining Knights. In that one second she saw things so clearly. Emrys and her were amazingly powerful and that scared Arthur and all of Albion. Gaius ran out after them and seeing Emrys knew him as his dead almost son and murmured no over and over. He used his pitiful magic to appear closer to us and, as I held back Arthur and his little Contingent, Gaius rose through the air by Emrys' magic and he said "Mer-" but Emrys stopped him. "No, Gaius. Merlin is dead and gone. So what I miss? Oh yeah it doesn't matter does it. Camelot's crumbling at its foundations and here we come. We're going to blow every single house in. And we are not going to stop. Bye bye old man." He said in the voice closer to her own than ever before. His apathy had given way to a burning anger and it was loose. The most powerful sorcerer of all time was unleashing his anger upon Camelot and, as Gaius twisted and bent slowly to his death and the horrified King and his pitiful friends looked on in abject fear, Emrys and I laughed.

Morgana sat up straight up and smiled. Emrys turned to her smiling "I was watching. Good dream wasn't it." He said the earlier good humour still in his voice. She raised an eyebrow at his hair "When did your hair go all Gwaine?" she asked laughter in her tone. "I started growing it while you slept and once I saw your dream I made it look like that." He said her laughter causing a smile to bleed through his thawing exterior. She flashed a warm grin at him one so different from her smirks he was dazed for a moment. "Come on Emrys. They won't believe it's your dead body if it's bald." She called laughter tickling her voice.
