This follows the story line of the secret sharer.
I have only changed the story line slightly so most of it will be similar just mainly people's thoughts.
Catha
Morgana walked through the markets filled with stalls. She would have stayed to have a look, if she had the time and money.
Morgana reached the guard outside of the Catha.
"I wish to see the Catha. He's expecting me."
The guard just moved to one side allowing Morgana through.
Morgana walked around the Catha so that he was facing her. She had little knowledge of rituals of the Old Religion. Morgause had told her that they weren't important for the short amount of time they were together.
"You are Alator of the Catha, warrior and priest."
Alator looked up at Morgana.
"You are Morgana Pendragon, High Priestess of the Triple Goddess, and last of your kind."
Morgana tried not to flinch as her last name was used. Even if it had been over a year since it was acknowledged that she was Uther's daughter, the name didn't help what she was trying to achieve.
Alator stood up from his kneeling position.
"What do you seek here?"
"I need you to abduct someone. From Camelot."
Alator looked put off. "Camelot is no friend to our kind. From what I hear, the young king follows Uther's ways."
Morgana sighed. Merlin was clever to know that he wouldn't just jump at the chance.
"You are a Catha. Such things would not stop you." Morgana said. She always knew to play on a man's pride and they would usually do what you asked them.
"Why should I risk my life for you?"
Morgana sighed. She thought it would be slightly easier than this.
Her hand went to the bracelet around her wrist. She didn't wish to give it up but if it would get her closer to Emrys then she would just brave the dreams.
"Because I am willing to give you something in return." Morgana slid the healing bracelet off and held it out to the Catha. "It was forged on the Isle of the Blessed by a High Priestess. Its healing powers are without equal in the five kingdoms.
Alator took the bracelet off her and studied it.
"There is true power here. This is a precious gift. The person you seek must be important to you."
Morgana smiled she hoped that this would mean that he would do it for her. "Yes. I hope the man will lead me to my mortal enemy. Emrys."
Even saying his name made shivers go down Morgan's spine.
"It is as you wish. I will perform this task for you."
Morgana smiled. She and managed to do it.
She curtsied and left.
I am one step closer to destroying Emrys then Camelot.
Merlin was waiting for Alator. He had no idea what this man looked like but kept a look out for anyone knew in town.
Agravaine came up behind Merlin. "He is late."
Merlin jumped. "Do you want to give us away?"
Agravaine just looked at the servant. He could kill him right here and nobody would know.
Agravaine grabbed the dagger that he kept on him but Alator arrived.
"You're late!" Agravaine hissed at the man.
Merlin ignored him. "Welcome to Camelot Alator. I hope your journey was pleasant."
"As pleasant as a trip to Camelot can be. Let us not waste any more time."
Alator set off with Merlin behind him. Agravaine was going to go after them but Alator's bodyguard pushed him out of the way and went before him.
Agravaine was annoyed. First Morgana now this Catha. What is it about this serving boy that makes him so likeable?
Gaius was late up working and he was also waiting for Merlin to come back.
He was so worried of his ward and was staying up most nights trying to work out what was wrong with him.
The only solution that Gaius could come up with was that it had something to do with the Forromah but there was very little on it in the books that was available to him.
Gaius looked up when he thought he heard the door go.
"Merlin?" Gaius called out.
Alator grabbed Gaius, placing his hand over his mouth.
"Onslæp nu!"
Gaius tried to keep his eyes open but failed.
"Milord he was seen riding away from the city."
Agravaine stood in the middle of the physician's chambers, holding a book, 'Witchcraft, sorcery and magic'.
"That can't be true." Merlin said trying to play his part.
Leon entered the room. "Lord Agravaine was right. A white stallion has been taken from the royal stables."
Arthur looked confused about the situation. "Well, where would he be going? Why leave at this time of the night?"
Agravaine just smiled. "Well, I could hazard a guess, sire, but I think a thorough search of his belongings may well provide us with the truth.
"This was found in Gaius' chambers?" Arthur said with confusion while looking through the book.
"I am as disappointed as you, sire. Someone so close, so trusted. And it's not merely the discovery that he was a sorcerer, is it? It's... it's the lies"
Merlin tried to remain neutral. Yes he was meant to be happy that Agravaine was playing Arthur well but he believed that he could do a better job. But he had to look as though he was on Gaius' side. It's your lies that will break him eventually. Merlin thought. And so will my betrayal.
Merlin blocked out the rest of what they were saying. He just had to bid him time right so that he could met Morgana. He felt this thrill go through him whenever he thought about her, how they were after she slapped him had changed everything.
"As you wish, sire." Agravaine says bowing.
"How can you believe this?" Merlin said once the doors had re-closed again and they were left alone.
"I know how you must feel. We questioned him. He's been consorting with sorcerers. He more or less admitted to it."
Merlin kept his gaze to the floor. "And that makes him a traitor."
"Why run if you have nothing to hide?" Arthur argued.
Merlin fought with himself. "He wouldn't leave without saying goodbye to me."
Merlin left without another word.
Now to leave for Morgana.
Merlin left a note.
It was short and simple.
Just saying that he was going to search for Gaius and wouldn't return till he had found him.
Arthur would believe it. Hopefully.
Morgana met Merlin at the edge of the cave.
"Did you play your part well?" Morgana asked.
"Yes, I believe that Arthur took it in." Merlin said smiling at Morgana.
Morgana showed him the first proper smile she had shown anybody in ages. "Good, I am glad. Let's see how our friend the Catha got on."
Morgana turned on her heel and returned back into the caves, Merlin followed straight behind her.
As they got closer they could hear what Alator was doing.
"Remember do not resist the fire. Let it in."
Alator stopped his work as Morgana and Merlin entered the room.
"How is he?" Morgana asked.
All three of them looked towards the old physician.
"He is breaking, but slowly. I will have it soon though."
"Merlin." Gaius breathed at seeing his ward.
Merlin turned to Morgana not knowing what to do.
"Of course Gaius. I don't only have one spy in Camelot now but two. The forromah seemed to do something to him. I read that it was meant to be powerful beings but there is very little powerful about Merlin." At the last sentence Morgana looked back at Merlin.
Alator could read all of Gaius' expressions.
"If you go to the next room, I should be finished very soon."
Morgana made no argument and Merlin followed her.
"Emrys? Who is he?" Alator said relighting the flames.
"The most powerful sorcerer to ever lived." Gaius breathed out. Seeing Merlin and Morgana's comments had broken Gaius.
"And his name?"
Gaius tried to keep it in but couldn't. "Merlin. He will unite the powers of old and new and bring about the time … time of … of Albion." Gaius couldn't keep his eyes open any longer and fainted.
Alator didn't know what to do. Merlin, Morgana's little pet as it seemed, was meant to bring about Albion.
He would have to talk to him separately.
You couldn't have chosen a more powerful being Morgana. Alator thought.
Alator's bodyguard came to Morgana and Merlin.
"Alator wants to see him." Pointing at Merlin.
Merlin looked at Morgana and nodded.
Merlin entered the room. He thought that it was weird that he had been called without Morgana.
The bodyguard has dropped back to be by the door.
"Merlin, I want to ask you something." Alator said.
"Of course, ask away." Merlin said.
"How much of your life do you remember?" Alator asked.
"Not much, it's still all a blur at the moment. Morgana said it would clear after a while."
This confused Alator greatly. If this man was who he thought he was, he shouldn't be with Morgana.
"Merlin, you are Emrys."
