A/N: Hey, guys! Okay, umm...well, I have watched so much Doctor Who lately that I'm having trouble thinking in terms of Merlin characters. That'll hopefully change tomorrow. Lassie and Clare-the-Bear are coming to my house after school. The screaming, flailing, swearing, and possible nuclear explosions you notice tomorrow coming from the northern Midwest will be because of us. I apologize in advance.
So, you get another one based on "The Raven" tonight. My mom taught it to another class and asked me to read for them. Enjoy!

Prompt: Insanity (The Raven)
73. Insanity
The dreams came every night, now. From the day Morgana was rescued, the same nightmares had reappeared in all his sleeps.
The ghosts. So many ghosts were haunting him. He could feel them burning into his soul and consuming his life-force.
His wife, Ygraine, and the guilt he bore from her death all those years ago. The children he had seen drowned because of gifts presented at birth. The daughter he had betrayed by denying her a father, twice.
It was madness. Madness and terror that swallowed his mind.
His kingdom, he thought through the haze, would fall. Insanity, not magic, its undoing.
Cheers!
