Morgana stared up at the huge beast standing in front of her. Morgana wanted to scream. She knew she was powerful but she didn't stand a chance against a dragon.
"What is so important? Surely a dragon shouldn't need help from a mere mortal." Morgana said tentatively.
"Ah but we both know you are much more than that, young witch." Morgana was shocked. How could he know of her magic? She worked so hard at concealing it.
"How do you know of my magic?" She demanded furiously.
"That is not important now. Right now we must discuss a matter that will effect the whole of Camelot and much much more." Morgana looked at him curiously, what could be that important?
"The boy, Merlin." Morgana looked affronted.
"That bothersome servant is dying, he gets worse and worse every day." Morgana scoffed "I can't see what you would need with him, he's nothing special."
The dragons' face contorted into a look of agony. "No!" He screamed.
Morgana took several steps back so as to avoid being thrashed by the dragons' tail.
"Morgana! I would not have called you if it weren't of the greatest importance. Merlins' fate rests on your shoulders. I know how hesitant you must be to help him, I know what he did."
"How…?"
"I will also tell you that he did so with the heaviest of hearts. It was necessary for the kingdoms survival. Morgause planted a sleeping spell on you, that's why you didn't fall asleep. The only way to reverse the spell was to kill the vessel, you. I told him you weren't to be trusted but he didn't listen and waited until he had no choice at all. I know how guilty he feels and if he could turn back time he would find another way. Morgana, Merlin needs you."
The dragon was laying on the guilt, Morgana had no idea that it was Morgauses' doing, she thought it was her magic protecting her. All of the sudden everything Morgana had thought about Merlin over the past year evaporated. She thought back to the boy who was so awkward and so incredibly loyal, who was the only one she trusted with her secret, who she might have possibly had feelings for… The dragon was right, Merlin didn't deserve to die. He was protecting the whole kingdom and she knew that, even now, if it meant sacrificing herself to save an entire kingdom, she would. She held no grudges against the people of Camelot, only Uther. She still thought of Arthur like a brother although she would never, EVER admit it, she still cared for Gwen and even Gaius. It was only ever Uther and Merlin she hated. Now it was just Uther.
Kilgharrah watched as Morgana thought. He was certain she would accept. One hour ago Kilgharrah had felt the whole of Merlins' destiny change. There was no longer the darkness, terror and loss of before but rather hope, light and love. Kilgharrah no longer saw Morgan LeFay but the Lady Morgana, as she once was. He saw Arthur and Guinevere, sitting side by side on matching thrones, and of Merlin and Morgana, the court sorcerer and the healer. He knew that He needed to find Morgana and see what had happened to change the future so drastically. The longer Morgana thought, the more certain Kilgharra was that she would agree.
Morgana finally broke the silence.
"What do we do?" Kilgharrah smiled.
Gaius' face fell. He had finally come to the conclusion of what happened to Merlin. His magic had left him. He did not know how or why or where it had gone but it had left him, of it's own free will or by force. This had taken a rather large effect on the boy. His magic was so tightly intertwined with his soul that, rather then just taking his magic, it had taken Merlins' soul. Gaius did not know what to do. He couldn't tell Arthur or any of the knights, they would probably be killed anyways, and Morgana was easily ruled off. Gaius was the only one who could help but he had no idea how.
Gaius' thoughts were broken off by someone knocking on his door. Who would be knocking at his door at this time of night? He walked over to the door and opened it. The lady Morgana stepped in, completely disheveled in her nightgown and robe, only wearing slippers which were covered in mud. She had a frantic look in her eye and was heaving as though she had come a long distance.
"Gaius," She blurted out, still heavily panting. "I know how to fix Merlin."
Gaius did not know what to do. He knew that Morgana had been corrupted by Morgause but she looked so frantic and ready to help. He desperately hoped she meant no ill will.
Should he trust her?
