Morgana stood with her back to her two solders, her arms folded, a calm demeanor surrounded her.
"So," she said tapping her arm with a finger "You managed to let a single young girl escape." She turned to look at the two men. They looked at their feet in shame.
"She had more power than we had anticipated," one said. Morgana directed her attention to him. She unfolded her arms and stared at the top of the man's bowed head.
"So you let her get away? One girl managed to take out all of you?" her voice was slowly raising.
"Two men came out of nowhere and helped her," He kept his head down.
"And who were these two men?" she walked up to him and stopped just in front of him.
"One was skinny with back hair, and the other gold of hair a dragon was sewn on his red tunic," he said, fear of the wrath that might be inflicted upon him creeping into his shaking voice.
"Arthur and Merlin," she sounded disbelieving, "They took the girl?"
"Um I don't know," he stuttered.
"DID THEY TAKE HER!" Morgana yelled and the fires either side of her throne erupted into huge columns of flame, heat hit the men in the faces and a blast of wind sent them back, "DID THEY TAKE HER!" she yelled again.
"Y-yes they took her," he whimpered. The flames died down slowly.
"Well then we had better get her back," she snarled, breathing heavily. They scrabbled to their feet and dashed out of the hall. Morgana backed up and sat in her throne. She had not gone through all the pain and trouble of finding that girl, to only have her taken before she was finished with her. Shadows fell on her face and she sat in silence.
Merlin walked with Castiel by his side, they both carried woven baskets filled with herbs and pails of water in their free hands. Merlin laughed and Castiel smiled slightly. She had been staying in Camelot for near a week now and her wounds and mostly healed. They took their goods up the castle steps and to Arthur's chambers, he was having a bath, today was the anniversary of his birth. Water sloshed over the sides of the buckets as they walked down the hall to knock on Arthur's door.
"Come in Merlin!" he called. Merlin pushed the door open and entered with water in hand. Arthur was behind his screen and he came out from behind it,"What took you so long Mer- ah, oh, um hello," he said, quickly grabbing a cloth to cover his lower half; Castiel had appeared from behind Merlin. That girl was as silent as a shadow! Merlin suppressed a laugh; Castiel had walked in on him only yesterday when he was bathing, her expression was blank and unmoved just like it was now. She took strides over to Arthur's copper basin and tipped her water in, she walked back to the door and bowed her head slightly, before leaving.
"Now that was funny," Merlin giggled tipping his water into the basin. Arthur glared at him and lunged to grab his head, but Merlin was to quick and jumped to the side, dashing out of the room before Arthur could get ready to lunge again.
"MERLIN!" Arthur shouted.
Merlin didn't stop running until he reached Gaius's tower. He slammed the door shut behind him, and leaned against the wood, his breathing heavy and fast. Castiel sat on the steps leading up to his room, a book was resting in her lap. She looked up at Merlin then to the candle sticks on the work table, the unlit candles flickered into life as the wick burned. Merlin watched as the flames left their places and started to float and dance in the air. He smiled. Castiel was using her magic and it was some of the most beautiful magic that he had ever seen; she was able to make plants grow, to make it rain, start fires, and use the wind. she could do all of these things without an incantation or moving her hands.
"You must never do this when the others are here," Merlin said, she nodded and the flames burnt out. He walked over to her and sat beside her, he looked down at the book in her hands. She pointed to a knight fighting a dragon depicted in a painting, the dragon was killing the knight, tapping it with her finger she shook her head.
"This," she said,"This is wrong." she only ever spoke if it was something that needed saying.
"How is it wrong?" he asked looking into her eyes.
"Knights kill dragons, not this," she seemed distressed and angry. She closed the book with a snap putting it down on the step as she stood up.
"Some dragons do kill knights," Merlin explained, standing as well and following her to the window. She gazed out over Camelot.
"No, dragons protect," she frowned,"Knights and kings hunt and kill." He glanced at her this was the most she had spoken since arriving. She whispered something under her breath.
"What?" Merlin asked leaning down to hear her.
"Dark wings, they stretch far and cover all in their shadow," she turned away from the window, "And they consume all." Merlin looked out over the kingdom, out on the horizon dark clouds were moving swiftly in. A storm was coming a big one. Merlin tore his eyes from the sky and glanced back to Castiel, her jaw was clenched. Merlin got a sudden pain in his back and lent on the wall for support an image danced before his eyes. He was tied to a cross in the centre of a ring of people chanting. The image soon vanished and he looked at Castiel, she was holding onto her pendent, her eyes dark. What had Morgana wanted with her? Who was she really? Merlin gasped for air to lessen the pain as it ebbed and faded. He had a feeling he would soon find out, and that scared him.
