Sorry about the length of this chapter. Originally, this was supposed to be the prologue but then I decided to change it up a bit. Still, this was needed.
Oh, and don't forget. Merlin is telling the story from a third person point of view.
Disclaimer: I still don't own Merlin. (Sad face) :(
Chapter 1 - Plotting
The sound of crickets chirping could be heard as the sun set over Albion, its peaceful rays kissing the earth goodbye as it descended over the horizon. The citizens of Camelot were getting ready for a restful night's sleep. The busy work day was spent repairing the last of the damage done when Morgana had taken over. Though it was a painful reminder of what had occurred a couple months ago, the people found a renewed sense of hope, especially when the Crown Prince of Camelot, Arthur himself, physically aided with the repairs.
It showed them the extent of his loyalty and willingness to help his people and, in turn, they knew they would always remain loyal to him as well.
Not too far from Camelot, a mysterious cave lay hidden deep in the heart of the Darkling Woods. A hateful Morgana and an injured Morgause took refuge there, plotting their revenge.
"Sister, please, save your strength. You are almost recovered and it won't be long. Please have a little patience" Morgana pleaded as Morgause tried to rise from their make-shift cot.
"Very well sister. However, there is one thing that must be done. A message needs to be sent to our ally. She is a powerful witch, and her knowledge of magical spells and curses exceeds that of my own. With her help, we will have our revenge on Camelot and you will take your rightful place on the throne."
Morgana nodded her head, more concerned, at the moment, for Morgause then her dreams for domination. The time for evil smirks and sinister grins would come later. After incanting the spell, Morgause tiredly laid back on the cot.
"All will be ready Morgana. Camelot's downfall is inevitable."
Who is the witch and what does Morgause have in mind? What will happen to our heroes? Why won't I stop asking these questions? Stay tuned and all will be revealed.
So, I have about 3/4 (more or less) of the story done so updates should be made in a timely manner.
Until later,
