Before:

Morgana Pendragon was having another nightmare. But when she opened her eyes, it was not over.

"Who are you?" she whispered to the being in front of her.

A woman's voice laughed. "I am Venus."

"What do you want?"

"My darling, I am here to help you!" chimed the voice. "Your sister, Morgause, sent me."

"Morgause is dead," Morgana said, sadly.

"Exactly. Now, my dear, Morgause told me you needed something. What is it?" The voice soon had a figure attached to it as well. A beautiful woman stood in front of Morgana.

Instead of answering, Morgana simply asked a question. No gift came without a price. "Why would you do this?"

"Let me just say I owe your sister," said Venus. "Now, what do you want?"

Morgana thought for a moment. She wanted Camelot. She wanted her sister back. She wanted to destroy anyone who stood in her way. She wanted love. She wanted her old life back. She wanted friends.

"I would like to have Emrys' power," she whispered. Even if her other wishes came true, Emrys could still be her downfall.

"Ah," said Venus, "but there is a catch. No one can be as powerful as Emrys."

"Then can you decrease his power?"

Venus paused before replying. "Yes, but it would affect you as well."

"What would it do?"

"You would be changed into a man as well as your magic depleting," said Venus. At Morgana's puzzled look, she explained. "Magic is connected through the whole body, and for the most part, gender. If you change a person's gender, their magic will be confused. It won't work correctly. Emrys would still be powerful, but no more than the common sorcerer."

"And what of me? Why would my gender have to be changed?" Morgana asked.

"You understand balance has to be kept," said Venus. "'To give a life, you must take a life.' It's very similar here. If there is one more woman and one less man on the earth, and the Fates had not intended it, the balance would be thrown off. And as you are requesting it, you must keep the balance even. Emrys will take your place as a woman and you will take his place as a man."

"And my magic? How will it be affected?" That was Morgana's main concern.

"You will be able to speak very few spells before your magic is gone," said Venus. "But I will give you a spell that can make you have Emrys follow your every command."

"Again, may I ask, why would you?"

"You know Morgause is very persuasive. Well, she is even more so after death," said Venus, hoping the girl hadn't seen her shudder.

"It sounds too good to be true," Morgana commented. Venus nodded. She whispered the incantation to the girl.

"Though, I warn you," said Venus, "The spell will make Emrys almost childlike in thought."

"All the easier to control," Morgana smirked.

"Are you ready?"

Morgana nodded. A spell in a language older than the Old Religion was spoken. Morgana had never faced so much power; it overwhelmed her. She submitted to the darkness. In her unconscious state, Venus revealed many things to Morgana. One being the identity of Emrys. Another was the prophecy that proclaimed the destiny of King Arthur.

Venus did not reveal one thing, though. She was a deity of love, and her magic in some way had to involve it. The love goddess' words had not only changed Morgana, but had made the woman- turned-man fall in love with Emrys, him being the other person involved. Emrys would not fall in love with Morgana; the Fates had his soul mate already planned.

Morgana woke up as a man the next day, with one thing running through his mind: Find Merlin.

But he waited, adjusting to life as a man. Morgana watched and waited, knowing he would never be able to get close to Merlin with Arthur around. He (she?) was about to take matters into his own hands, but then the king had hit his servant. She had stormed off. Morgana had smirked; now was the time.

So Morgana's guy! Thank you to Book-fan-girl, Jellogirl323, Abysslullaby, and Don-V (who somehow nearly read my mind again...seriously, are you pyschic?) for reviewing and guessing right. :)
