A/N: Recap - The Reason Merlin did not fight Morgana was because he knew it was a bad idea to reveal his magic. While I know it would have been an awesome battle, I had my reasons. Also, this ch. Consists of mostly memories so it wasn't the easiest to write or remember, so yeah it's not my best work…but this isn't the end ;D
Morgana woke with a start. She had been fighting Brynn, who was a witch! The noble had never shown her power before. She had even bested Morgana. Then Morgana noticed something strange. There was a necklace around her neck! It glowed. Brynn must have put it on her. Suddenly Morgana was recalling memories, memories she had pushed away.
The first was when after a year of being gone, she had returned to Camelot to much rejoicing by Merlin, Arthur, Gwen and even her despicable father. He was then speaking to Gaius no matter what happened he had to find his daughter.
Next, a memory that wasn't even her's. Arthur was being shown his mother, and the truth. But the memory progressed to the fight between Arthur and his father. That was followed by Nimueh talking to King Uther about how the Old Religion worked, and how she would not have given them Arthur if she had known the consequences.
This last memory hit Morgana hard. She had never known Arthur was born by magic, and he had lost his mother because of his birth. Could this be why Uther hated magic?
Another unknown memory appeared. It was the one that haunted Brynn (unbeknownst to Morgana) for many years. All Morgana knew was there was a couple running and the husband was then slaughtered. The mother was running with a baby in her hands, and the knights were catching up to her. The woman, Lena, hid her child, and ran. But it was no avail.
Following this, Brynn spoke to Uther and Arthur after the duel between herself and Arthur,
"King Uther, I realize that while I still deeply mourn the loss of my parents, seeking retaliation will not make my cause justifiable. I will no longer seek a fight with you nor your kin. Punish me as you so desire." Said Brynn.
Morgana was shocked. This whole time, Brynn hadn't used magic, and just gave in.
Next came the memories of when Arthur, Merlin and friends saved her/aided her. Modred was rescued by Morgana with the aide of Gaius, Merlin and Arthur.
Merlin had come and told Morgana about the druids and then came to aid her and her new druid friends.
The memories flowed and flowed. After an hour of another peoples' memories consuming her, Morgana froze. Brynn had enchanted the necklace! How was Morgana to know some of the memories were real or not? Some of them she had not experienced herself. After all, the witch had tried not-so-valiantly to change Morgana's heart after others had already tried. What was the point?
All she knew was Brynn wasted her time again, and Morgana was not going to let that weakling phaze her. Oh no, Morgana was going to prove what side she was truly on, in the best way she knew how: revenge.
