Merlin spent the rest of the ride to the tomb thinking. It would definitely be best if he could be with Arthur, but he didn't want to bring Morgana along. He could put her to sleep, but there was always the possibility that she could wake up and run away. Alternatively, he could leave her with Kilgarrah while he and the other raided the tomb, which would probably be the best idea. He could get Kilgarrah to tell him how Morgana behaved, which would help determine her fate when they got back to Camelot.
When they finally got close to the tomb, they all dismounted, picketing their horses. Merlin walked over to Arthur with Morgana.
"I think it would be best if we left Morgana with Kilgarrah," he said. "Because I don't want her to escape, and I don't want her to come with us."
"I don't see a problem with that," replied Arthur. "You'd probably be useful against Odin's men."
"Do I get any say in this?" asked Morgana.
"No," replied Merlin and Arthur simultaneously. They looked at each other, and Arthur chuckled, while Merlin smirked.
"Anyway," said Merlin, "So I'll just summon Kilgarrah and leave Morgana with him."
"Make sure you hurry," replied Arthur. "I want this over as soon as possible."
Merlin nodded, and walked quickly away, followed by Morgana. As they were walking, Merlin started to summon Kilgarrah. "O drakon, e mala soi ftengometh tesd'hup anankes! Erkheo."
Just as they reached a clearing, Kilgarrah landed. "Hello, Merlin," he said. "What do you need me for?"
"I need to help Arthur fight Odin," Merlin said. "Which means I can't afford to bring Morgana with me. Could you watch over her while I help Arthur?"
"I can definitely do that," replied Kilgarrah.
"Thank you," said Merlin, and hurried away.
Next chapter will be the actual rescue! Are you excited?
Also, which pairing should I put in the story? Merlin/Morgana, Merlin/Arthur/Gwen, or Merlin/Arthur/Gwen/Morgana?
