Chapter Four – Dreams, Tokens and Secrets

Morgana's body kept moving in the drum's rhythm, she was dancing for him, with this amazing body swaying close to him, the silk covering showed less and less as she kept moving while he sat on his bed, enjoying the show of the princess.

She moved closer, and her hand touched his shoulder, his neck and she kept moving while she bowed, her hands running up and down his front, trailing fire in their wake.

'My Champion…' she whispers to his ear and he grabs for her waist, setting her brutally on his hot body, her breasts rubbing against his topless form, the silk between them both cool and hot.

'Morgana…' he whispers her name and he loves the sound of it.

'My Champion…' she repeats and moans in his ear as she rubs her entire body against his, her body so hot against his own. 'Wake up…' she says and her voice is changed. 'I said WAKE UP!'

Arthur woke up with a jerk and a groan as his best friend had threw a pillow at his face. He gripped the pillow and send it flying back at Merlin before he could hide his dream's results with another pillow before his pants, it had been hours after he watched Morgana's ritual and as he looked at the sun's place in the sky, it was almost midday now, the previous night was something between a sleepless torture and a slumber of pain with wet dreams.

'You're disgusting…' Merlin said with a huge smirk on his face and Arthur glared daggers at him. 'And you were calling Morgana's name…' Merlin added and the glare turned pink as the busted prince blushed.

'Mind your business, will you?' Arthur said as he felt his body cooling off because of Merlin's knowledge of the truth.

'I will… as long as the servants do not send for me to wake you up because they can't deal with your moans and groans… what are you? 16?' Merlin kept on teasing and Arthur was ready to throw another pillow but Merlin spoke again. 'Your father organized a small football match between the RTK and the national team of Camelot in Morgana's honor, before the ball, he said he had it in mind but he wasn't sure. You'll be the leader of the Knights and Valiant will be the leader of the football team again,' Merlin said and Arthur groaned, he was a huge fan of football but Camelot's national team's captain was a cruel cheater, he played half the matches because of the red cards but the coach and Uther's close friend kept him in position. When it was for charity or some guest's honor, the Knights were playing against the national football team of Camelot.

'The price for this?' Arthur asked and Merlin grinned.

'The captain of the team wins the girl… the royal guest for the night. You might not escort her but you can certainly have her for the party…' Merlin said and Arthur looked interested, he sobered up immediately before his oh-so greening friend.

'Very well,' he only said and Merlin chuckled, knowing his friend very well…

"The breaking News probably of the decade: Princess Morgana's visit in Camelot counts its third day with a football match and a ball in her honor. Queen Morgause is satisfied according to sources for her sister's visit there and King Uther and Prince Arthur have welcomed the Princess of the Isles with the greatest care."

"You believe this care could flicker emotions between the Male Heir and the Princess of the Isles?"

(laughs) "No no no, this could happen only when Hell freezes over… The visit is formal and to end within a few days… Avalon is getting a surprise for the Kingdoms but we're not sure about it yet, it could be a wedding announcement but I doubt it would be Morgana's to Arthur…"

"Still… Just imagine how cute a baby of Morgana and Arthur's would be…"

(More laughs…)

'Gwen, please turn it off,' Morgana said as she pointed at the plasma tv of her chambers, Camelot's gossip talk shows were worse than those of Avalon and Mora put together…

'Of course, my lady,' Gwen said as she turned off the television the moment they were showing pictures of little children with Morgana and Arthur's features. Morgana sighed, the last thing she needed was more confusion.

Last night she had slept well, more than well, the nightmares were away as she expected since the Goddess' power was still surging within her veins, however she had dreams, dreams of her and Arthur, under the moonlight, with children with raven and blond hair, curls and sparkling eyes. The dream was peaceful with the couple laughing and playing under the moonlight while the children ran around them. She had woken up with a smile on her face, only to learn she was going to be the trophy in a stupid football match…

'So I have no say in this?' Morgana asked Gwen, in Avalon they football matches in honor of the royal guests, usually a magical show would be alright. Gwen gave a smile at her mistress, probably the first that wasn't forced every since the ladies had to co-exist.

'My lady, it's not that bad, you'll watch them kicking a ball full of air for ninety minutes then you'll be escorted to the ball by your country's ambassador, then you will wait for the Champion and he will have the first dance with you.' Gwen said and Morgana sighed and nodded her head.

'Champion… champions are for sword fighting...' Morgana commented and Gwen nodded.

'I agree, but they need a masculine title don't they?' Gwen said as she helped Morgana with her hair and Morgana laughed finally and nodded, the girl was sweet, Morgana's eyes fell on Morgause's bracelet and her smile fainted, remembering her family and her reasons to be there.

'What is your story, Gwen? Your parents, siblings? If you don't mind me asking, of course,' Morgana asked, she knew everyone in Avalon's castle, the older maids loved her as their own and the men of the castle would give their life for the little princess, especially after Gorlois' death, but she wanted to know about her maid here too. Gwen's eyes darkened and bowed her head, suddenly all her sparkle gone. 'I'm really sorry if I offended you in some way,' Morgana rushed to add as she saw the servant's change, the girl finally shook her head and gave one of those forced smiles.

'No my lady, you didn't… my mother died while giving birth to me, right before the Great Purge, my father took care of me for awhile, he was a good man and did his best for me, but in one of the Druids' attacks, the King was very suspicious of everyone and asked to search every house. My mother, when alive was practicing the craft more or less and my father had kept her books and tools as a reminder of hers… they were found and my father was accused of Witchcraft… he was … executed and I was sent to the royal orphanage for girls.' Gwen said in a monotone, her voice only breaking when she spoke of her father's execution. Morgana felt her blood boiling, if they had made it to Avalon where magic was free, Gwen would have her father. All the hatred for Camelot and what it presented hit her at full force, she turned around and stood up to look at Gwen in the eyes.

'I'm really sorry, Guinevere…' Morgana said in a small voice and touched the girl's shoulder, Gwen gave a small smile and nodded her head as she sighed in her try to stop the tears.

'Thank you my lady, you're very kind and carrying,' Gwen said and Morgana gave a small smile.

'Call me Morgana, and…I just know how is to have your father killed by Uther…' Morgana replied and the two looked at each other in the eye, knowing there was hatred in their hearts. They finally nodded and Gwen helped her mistress to get ready for the football match.

The Pendragon Stadium was huge and full of people, even if the match had been announced at the last moment, Camelot's people had filled to watch the match and see the princess of Avalon. First Uther and his Guard showed up in the VIP section and waved at his people who cheered and then Morgana was announced, the people welcomed her with less cheering and a lot of chatter as she had showed up in a purple dress and her hair was up in a bun, Gwen and the rest of her maids escorted her along Alvar who was a step behind her, she sat next to Uther, by his left with Merlin next to her as the teams moved to the grass. They stood before the VIP section and Morgana saw Arthur in his red uniform for the knight, Valiant, the captain of the actual football team of Camelot was a raven haired man with sharp features and a sly smirk. Uther and Morgana stood up and the Captains approached before her.

'Captains, a fair game will result to the fairest of prices.' Uther said and both Valiant and Arthur looked at Morgana who nodded her head once. 'Lady Morgana… your token…' Uther asked, it was a custom in Camelot for the price-lady to give a token to one of the "fighters" even if it was just a football match. Gwen gave to Morgana a silken cloth, Morgana and Arthur's eyes locked for a moment but Morgana held the purple cloth in the air and allowed to be taken by the light breeze. Arthur and Valiant launched for it and Arthur raised his hand with the silk within his fingers, having the fans of the RTK cheering like crazy and Valiant approaching Morgana.

'I might not have the token, my lady, but I will fight for the first dance…' Valiant said and Morgana only smiled and nodded, her eyes fell on Arthur again who glared at Valiant but she gestured for him to approach, she was the one to wrap the token around his arm, where the captain's symbol also was wrapped.

'Good luck,' Morgana only said as she made sure the token wouldn't be gone, Arthur smiled and nodded his head, too proud to say thank you.

The match started with the teams playing fair enough but soon the match turned rough to Morgana's surprise, the rest of the people in the stands didn't seem that surprised and Morgana sighed as she guessed this is why Camelot never plated in the Seven Kingdoms Cup. Soon the fouls were rougher and rougher with every minute that passed and Arthur, after recovering from a hard kick in the ribs, he had the first penalty and succeeded with a goal. His teammates hugged him but his eyes found Morgana instantly and she would swear she saw him winking at her.

Merlin was sat next to Morgana from her left side with Freya next to him, he grinned every time Morgana gasped after a hard tackling or foul in the match.

'No worries, your highness, the Prince is good in football,' Merlin tried and Morgana looked at him, the two hadn't talked ever since he had escorted her upon her arrival, the guy seemed good and funny even by his face. Morgana smiled and nodded.

'It's Morgana, please, and I can see that but this is more of a wrestling match than football,' Morgana replied and Merlin smiled and nodded.

'Allow me to introduce you my girlfriend, Morgana, this is Freya Lakewater,' Merlin said and the young women smiled at each other as they shook hands and Freya, a girl with dark hair and sweetest smile gave a nod of respect to Morgana's position. 'So…I guess, in Avalon things are different in football?' Merlin tried and Morgana grinned.

'Oh you don't want to know… things there are both worse and better, you see warlocks are allowed to use magic… if you were magical you could imagine what kind of matches we have…' Morgana replied to the question and Merlin gave a half smile…

'Believe me I can…' He whispered but wasn't heard as another foul from the National team sent the Arthur Fanclub screaming and gesturing to the referee…

After one more goal from the Knights, scored by Leon, Valiant's team scored twice and the game was set on fire with both teams doing their best to win. Leon and Lancelot had a race towards the defense of the national team and Lancelot passed the ball to Arthur who found a small opening between Valiant and the goalkeeper and scored a minute before the end of the game, having the knights winning, Uther clapping for his son and Morgana sighting almost in relief…

'Was she watching?' Arthur asked as he made sure his tuxedo was in great shape on him, Merlin grinned as he stood behind and watched the prince getting ready for the ball, a couple of hours after the match the Knights had won to Valiant's great disdain.

'Freya? Of course she was watching… she loved the match...' Merlin teased; of course he knew Arthur meant their royal guest and not Merlin's girlfriend…

'How do I look?' Arthur finally asked, determined to ignore Merlin's teasing, Arthur had orders from Uther to keep Morgana close and he was more than glad to achieve it…

'You look good, can we go now? The fasted you charm the lady, the fasted we'll start eating…' Merlin said and Arthur laughed but shook his head. The door opened at that moment and a servant brought a big basket of flowers.

'You'll take these right now to Morgana's chambers,' Arthur said and Merlin looked at him surprised, if not shocked.

'I'm not a servant!' Merlin complained and Arthur moved close and gripped Merlin's shoulder in a painful grip that had the younger boy wincing and struggling.

'Exactly, I want her to see that I care enough to send the flowers with my friend…' Arthur said and Merlin finally freed himself and looked at Arthur seriously.

'You really care? Or this is just King's orders?' he asked and Arthur sobered up too and the two shared a moment of understanding.

'Just take the flowers and go to her chambers, please,' Arthur only replied and Merlin nodded his head, this was probably the first time he was seeing Arthur truly carrying for a lady… he wasn't sure if he should be happy or worried…

Morgana was before her vanity, getting ready, hair ready, breathtaking dress ready, she only had to have her makeup and she would be done. Gwen was still around and Alvar would be arriving at any minute. She gasped when she felt her bracelet suddenly burning her flesh, alerting her of magic running through her veins.

Sister…

Morgause's voice made her jump to her feet and look at Gwen who had looked at her too, she wasn't sure if she was the only one who heard the voice, the bracelet was almost sending a vibe through her skin. Gwen had obviously heard nothing as she was just looking at Morgana with worried eyes.

'Morgana, is everything alright?' she asked, calling her Morgana every since their small chat before. Morgana nodded her head and rubbed her hand in worry.

'Why don't you go and get ready for the ball too? I'll make my makeup on my own, go and get ready,' Morgana said and Gwen was ready to make sure but Morgana's eyes told her otherwise, she nodded only, bowed and left the room, Morgana sighed and sat back on her vanity, she took off the bracelet and examined it, then she felt the pulse again.

"Morgana?" The voice was heard and Morgana brought the bracelet close to her lips as she turned in an unconscious way from the door, as if someone could see her through it.

'Morgause?' Morgana asked and waited for a moment before the voice could be heard through the bracelet.

"Sister! How are you? I haven't called you for all these days because I'm sure you're mobile phone will be under Uther's control." Morgause's voice was heard again and Morgana smiled and spoke, she had missed listening to her sister.

'I'm fine, how are you?' she asked and Morgause replied immediately.

"Everything is fine here… the wedding with Cenred will be announced soon, how are you doing there? Is the prince close to you? Have you achieved to bring him closer?" Morgause asked and Morgana sighed and felt glad not to have to look at her sister.

'I'm doing my best…' Morgana finally answered her most honest response. She could almost see Morgause frowning.

"What is that supposed to mean, sister?" Morgause's question made Morgana sigh and reply carefully.

'It means that I'm doing my best but… he's a bit hard to hate and loathe…all the time,' she finally said and Morgause replied after a moment.

"I see… then it will be good news for you to hear that soon you will be back home, to our family, and when the wedding will be taking place, in a few days' time, you will be able to see King Merrick again… he has sent his respects and best wishes after our mother's passing… he can't wait to see you again…" Morgause's voice was calm but Morgana felt as if her sister was telling her that as to punish her, she needed to act.

'I will be back when I am done with my plans here… Arthur likes me and that's good, isn't it? But lets keep that, any news from the Druids?' Morgana asked and Morgause took another moment to reply.

"I don't want you to be worried about it, yes they are threatening after the news of your visit in Camelot but they have done nothing yet, we're all watching and of course the measures will be huge for the wedding. We want no terrorists' attack in this… my wedding needs to be shown as Avalon and Mora's return to power for the Seven Kingdoms, but I want you away from Camelot the moment it will be taking place. I don't want any assassins after you…" Morgause said and Morgana sighed and nodded.

The Druids, even for the rest believed as the invisible hand of Avalon's to other kingdoms' business, was a terrorists' team of warlocks who had rebelled to the Great Purge of Camelot and had sworn revenge for it, they hadn't agreed with Queen's Vivienne milder approach to the subject after Gorlois' death and things turned ugly between the palace and the Druids after the Great Attack as it was remembered on Morgana's 9th birthday with the Druids attacking the great altar of the goddess. Many out of the magical kingdoms had believed that the attack was set up by the palace and Vivienne but the people there knew that it had been a true day of blood and sacrifice.

"I need you to be careful," Morgause was heard again and Morgana could hear her voice softer now, before her safety.

'I will be, I promise…' Morgana said and did her best not to vent her frustrations in her only moment with her sister. 'We should stop now, Alvar is about to arrive any minute now…' Morgana added and Morgause replied.

"Of course, please take care, sister and remember, Avalon and Mora are your kingdoms…" Morgause's voice was heard and Morgana had no time to reply as the bracelet suddenly felt cold and unmoving again.

Morgana closed her eyes and hid her face in her palm, totally unaware of having been watched by Merlin who had opened the door of the chambers to give her the flowers… the shocked young man moved out of the room in silence and set the flowers in a corner of the corridor as he needed a moment to comprehend what he had just witnessed between Morgana and Morgause…

How was he going to reveal Morgana to Arthur without revealing himself on the way?
