A/n: Hello readers, I know I didn't update yesterday, I was ill so had a movie marathon day. I've still got a headache but managed to write this. However seeing as I have an interview/audition to prepare for it is properly better that I start letting people down with the updates now.
This chapter was fun to write, seeing as it is a cliché of every villain in any fandom.
Thank you Cypriana for reviewing and I'm sorry for not thanking you earlier, I'm still figuring out the site and found out how to moderate guest reviews. I shall now check that more regularly.

Monologue
When your enemies trembling at your feet, take time to thoroughly outline your plan and what you plan to do to them. Gloating makes your victory sweeter and there is nothing like seeing the realisation dawn across the face of the defeated. Your foes will never think to escape whilst you are performing your monologue as they will be in awe of your brilliance and be petrified with dread at the description at what you will do with them.
Do not be afraid to drag out your monologue over many hours or days. If you need a break, just have your highly trained, observant, inescapable guards throw your defeated foes into the dungeons or have the most attractive, roguish one with great hair take of his top and fight for his supper. No one will dare break in and release your prisoners, then come to try and take you out.
Monologues are not only for victories, they can also be used at the beginning of a plot. Explaining your plan to an unwilling pawn, from everything to the history of the important magical artefact/creature to what you plan on having your pawn do. This is guarantied not to come back and bite you. It's not like your pawn will get free and come after you.
As you can see apprentices, the monologue is important and a classic trait of a sorceress. Don't be afraid to add your own flair, such as the stroking a fluffy white domestic animal, such as a cat.
A/N: Sorry I couldn't resist the slight James Bond crossover. I know that it isn't historically accurate, but nothing in the show is, so i pretend Merlin is set on another world instead of just in the past
