Back to Merlin's head.

Sire-wehn - He is slimy but he will be getting what is coming for him soon.
Darkness
The poison sneak up on Merlin.
"How are you doing it?" Merlin turned around.
"Doing what?"
Merlin hadn't a clue what he was talking about.
"Taking over in certain places. You are a creature of love and as much as I love your loving nature, it's becoming annoying."
"Taking over? I am not taking over."
"So what was all the 'I am not the same man you fell in love with, but you're not the woman I fell in love with'?"
Merlin stopped. I thought that. Why did I say it if the poison was in charge?
"IF I KNEW THAT I WOULDN'T ASK YOU!" The poison screamed at Merlin.
He calmed down. "Why are you so stubborn? Just lose already."
"Why would I do that?" Merlin said. "Why would I want to lose? I have the upper hand here. I can still win this because I have something that you don't have. I have feelings and I want to save my friends. You don't care who you hurt along the way as long as you get your goal."
Some realisation came over Merlin.
"I have control of the feelings." He muttered.
"What did you say?"
Merlin looked into the black pessimistic eyes of his counterpart. It just made him feel cold.
"You don't know love. You are a creature of dark magic, of course you aren't going to know love. I do. As you said I am a creature of love. I am in control of the feelings section." Merlin smiled widely. "And there is nothing you can do about it."
The poison stepped down.
"Every time I have seemed to take over is when it has something to do about feelings. I showed Morgana my magic because for her feeling of trust I had to be honest with her. Just now we were talking about our feelings and how she wants me back. You think that the darkness has taken her and for a while so did she but she is like me, she is a creature of love that has been made to hate. Agravaine calls her weak but she is strong."
The poison smiled. "But love is a weakness. Love is the greatest weakness known to man."
"But love is light and hate is the darkness. Without darkness there can be no light, without war there can be no peace and without hate, there can be..." Merlin stopped and licked his lips. "...no love."
"What are you saying?"
Merlin looked at the man and wondered how they could be the same person.
"Sometimes when I talk to you, I feel as though I am talking to Arthur. There is a little bit of good and bad in everyone. You need that balance."
Merlin remembered the dragon's words.
But I fear that your futures are now joined forever. She is the darkness to your light, the hatred to your love.
"Futures are joined together." The poison whispered.
Merlin carried on. "This was meant to happen. I was meant to help Morgana but not like this."
The poison laughed. "No the dragon wanted you to kill her. She is only the darkness to your light because you weren't strong enough to stop her."
Merlin stopped and thought over that.
The poison continued. "The only way out of this is to kill the body."
Merlin looked up. "And what good is that going to do? We have gained her trust and she confines in us. If we were to die suddenly then it would kill her. She wouldn't trust Agravaine because she will believe that he had something to do with it."
The poison got bored of Merlin and shot a spell at him.
Merlin gasped as he hit the ground.
"What was that for? For once I thought that we could have a civilised conversation."
"I am darkness." The poison said coming into Merlin's view. "I don't do civilised conversations."
"Bindan sé lichoma toweard sé flor.*" The poison said.
Merlin struggled to get off the floor.
"What have you done?" He said looking up.
"You're not moving anywhere. If you get it by the amount of lights then you aren't getting any more."
Then there was a surge of power.
"Well I hate to leave you but I need to go and take over this body. Hope you don't struggle to much as I want to hurt you even more. I want to burn the heart out of you."
The poison left.
Merlin closed his eyes.
He said 'Bindan sé lichoma toweard sé flor.*'. That means bind body to floor. Opposite of that would be unbind body from floor which is anbindan mín lichoma fram sé flor**.
"Anbindan mín lichoma fram sé flor.**" Merlin started to chant.
Only after the tenth time was Merlin successful.
"Anbindan mín lichoma fram sé flor.**" He shouted as loud as he could.
Merlin could still feel the power and started to run. He knew he wasn't going to bet the poison there but he had to try.
Every time he took a step closer to the light, hope filled his heart a little bit more.
He couldn't have been far, he swear he could see it when the power left the atmosphere.
Merlin stopped.
He couldn't win this playing the game like he was at the moment.
He had to start playing the poisons rules.
"Oh if you want to play a game, then let's play. The game is on."
Merlin grabbed a stick and cleared a patch of dirt.
He started writing down all the spells that he knew to defeat a person with.
Would the spell I used on Sigar work? That was used to release his soul from my though, this is something that is pumping through my veins. I don't think it will be so easy get rid of this tormentor.
* bind the body to the floor
** unbind my body from the floor
