A/N: Aaaaand, here's number two for today! (Oh, before I start rambling, I joined Tumblr! Link's on my profile if you want to follow me!) So, it'd been a while since I've done anything with a romantic pairing besides Merlin/Meghan, and Gwen/Arthur or Lancelot, and then today Owl City came on my computer and I was just like yes. (Oh, and Lassie's very upset with me about this one because she has apparently turned into a hardcore Mergana shipper, and she didn't like the way I ended this one. Go figure. :P) NEW EPISODE TOMORROW! WOOT! Enjoy!

78. Tragic
He had held her as she died; as the effects of hemlock had drained her of pulse, breath, and spirit.
It had been the hardest thing he had ever had to do. To trade her life for those of everyone in Camelot.
And in the end, he wasn't entirely sure it had been worth it.
It was his destiny, he knew, to protect Arthur, and by default, Camelot, but sometimes he wanted to break free of it. To do what he wanted for once.
Morgana could have done that for him.
But now she was dead. And by his hand.
Cheers!
