Mab went down to the lake her head held high.
'You wish to talk to me sister.' She rasped innocently with a smirk her wolf like eyes gleamed beautifully. Viviene stared down at Mab floating in white above her with worried eyes. She didn't want her sister defiling her daughters with dark magick and Mab would. The reason she had sent her daughters to Goloris was so they didn't have to live in fear. But Uther had found them and now Morgause had been taught the old religion. This meant Mab could use her for survival. And Mab would do the same to Morgana. Uther didn't even know Morgana had magick but he certainly would when Mab was finished with her. Her damn sister and her obsession with survival, if she wasn't so pacifist she'd slit her rasping throat herself.
'Why did you go to my daughters Mab? I do not want them taught in our ways even if Morgause has been taught already I don't want her used as your champion nor do I want Morgana corrupted. She is my daughter. They both are.' Her watery voice echoed around the cave.
'Ah yes Viviene but Merlin was my son and you corrupt him against me.' She smirked.
'I am sorry Mab you know I did not mean to set him against you.' Viviene cooed in a sweet voice and Mab wanted to scream liar but didn't.
'I will do what I want with my nieces and you may watch from your fish bowl. I'll teach Morgana myself.' Mab rasped.
'I warn you Mab if you do that and put my daughters life in danger I will personally see to your destruction!' Viviene suddenly shrieked her white form turned to having black hair and a dark blue dress she was solid Mab sighed if only Merlin could see his precious Lady now.
'Oh will you now?' Mab purred sweetly she reached out and stroked Viviene's cheek with her hand her wolf like eyes glistening.
'It's been so long since you have had a solid form Viviene.' She rasped her hand sliding down to stroke her throat, Viviene caught Mab's hand and pulled her close so they were inches apart and staring back at each other they looked so very similar. But they were opposites.
'Yes I will you know I will, I'll help Uther if he so requests, I will do whatever it takes to watch your form melt to air. You can come to my lake and I'll keep you as my pet. Wont that be nice? People can tell stories for years of Merlin, Uther and I but no one will mention you.' Her watery voice had become dark and strong.
Mab smirked back at Viviene then with a small jerk of her head Viviene was thrown back into the water. There was a splash as she fell in then Viviene shot up from the water on a platform of bubbling water.
'Three things, don't ever touch me, don't ever tell me what to do and do not threaten me Viviene.' Mab warned angrily.
Viviene let out a scream of rage she was so angry Mab has used magick on her a whole wave of water crashed into her sister of Air but when it vanished Mab stood unharmed not even wet she admired her nails boredly.
'Go back under water Viviene. I like you better down there.' She smirked.
'Feel free to call again the next time you want to play, but try and make it a less inconvenient time.' Mab turned her back making her way up the steps.
Viviene felt furious she turned white again to prepare to go back into her lake.
'I should have known you'd want my daughters,' she called to Mab as she walked away. 'I mean your son he's actually not so great at magick despite being yours. Perhaps it's because you did not carry Merlin yourself.'
Mab had stopped walking.
'And why was that? You had the perfect lover to make a child with, Idath, yet you never spawned a child with him. You say it's because Merlin needed to be part human so why not get impregnated by a human? Oh, wait, I remember, you were slightly less fertile than a sand trap.' Her ghostly laugh was heard as she vanished back into her water. Mab spun round and let out an earth shattering scream her entire cavern began to tremble rocks fell everywhere creatures ran around scared to death Mab had never been so angry.
When she finally stopped her creatures were hiding from her completely terrified Mab took deep breaths as she calmed herself. She hated Viviene she truly hated her how dare she taunt her about her weakness! Weakness! Mab hated that word so much. She was not weak she was strong. Though what Viviene said was true Mab had never been blessed with a child. Viviene was going to pay for her words she'd get Morgause and Morgana on her side whatever way necessary. She'd allure them with anything and they'd be her pets together with Merlin they would restore the old ways. Oh yes this would be perfect she'd strike a blow against Viviene, Uther and Christianity. Her revenge would be sweet.
She headed off to her inner sanctum and looked deep into a crystal. Morgana was out riding on her horse Mab whispered sweet words that would cause the girl to have even less control over her growing power.
'I'll make them mine.' Mab rasped darkly a cold smirk on her face.
Morgana felt ill her eyes dull with lack of sleep. Her power terrified her was she going mad? Or did she truly have power? If she did then Uther would surely have her killed. Anytime she mentioned her abilities to the court physician he'd brush it off which made her think she really was mad. But Gaius lied he knew she had magick but he'd never tell her in case that put her in more danger. It was not wise to be so close to Uther and have magick. Morgana felt like screaming she was suffocating and scared. She didn't even have any true family to turn too. Her father Goloris had died, she'd never known her mother. She was quite oblivious to who her true father and mother were. Then there was the accident when she'd set the curtains on fire. The candle she'd did that without even touching a flame to light it. She clamped her eyes shut trying to push the thought away.
Then there was her. That woman who had appeared smelling of magick and lavender she'd glittered beautifully her eyes and voice were captivating. Queen Mab she'd called herself. Morgana had never heard of her and what sort of Queen appeared in someone's chambers in the middle of the night without even knocking. Something was odd about her but she seemed so familiar, perhaps she was wrong. Maybe said Queen had never been there at all, maybe she had been a figment of her imagination and she truly was going mad. The wind picked up around Morgana and the fallen leaves spun around her madly. Her horse jumped in the distress and she had to hang on tightly getting it to calm.
'Morgana.' That raspy voice was there again. 'Morgana.' It called through the wind.
Morgana screamed and took off on her horse back to Camelot at great speed. Mab smirked watching this then smashed her crystal on the ground.
