Have fun!

Previously...

"I just hope... whatever happens... maybe this feeling could help me to bring my sister back to what she used to be... No dark magic, no hate and feeling of revenge. Just Morgause. My sister."

Merlin leaned in and kissed Morgana's forehead.

"I promise I'll do anything to help you." He said.

"Thank you, Merlin." She smiled sweetly. "You're a very loyal friend.

"Now try not to worry too much." He suggested. "That isn't good to your baby." As he expected, his recommendation brought one more smile to Morgana's lips.

"Come on, Merlin. They need us to help with the books." They left Merlin's room.

Chapter 22

"Look what I found!" Uther said very excited pointing to his magic book in the moment Morgana and Merlin were back to the room. Morgana smiled. When would she imagine Uther dealing so well with magic? "Salt!" He said. "We may use salt!"

"Well..." Gaius read the part of the book the king was pointing. "Salt is good to neutralize the energies..."

"And magic is energy!" Merlin said very excited. "It may work, Gaius!"

"I'm not sure..." The old physician said in disbelief.

"But... we could try, right?" Morgana suggested hopefully. "I mean... if it didn't work, at least we know salt is useless in a situation like this."

"Let's see." Gaius got up and took a bowl. He filled it with water and put some salt, mixing it with his hand. "Fine." The elder man said. "Now put the ruby here."

Merlin did as he was told. Everybody was around the bowl, looking carefully in expectation.

"Nothing is happening." Kevin pointed.

"Oh, maybe it needs some moments to work." Morgana said.

"No, Morgana." Merlin said. "Salt is a very powerful method of cleaning energy of people and objects. It works almost always and it's practically instantaneous."

"Then why..." Uther couldn't understand.

"Simply." Gaius said. "Because Morgause probably did not only a spell, but she used emotions to create the necessary energy."

"Oh?" Morgana was shocked. "Like what?"

"Sexual energy, probably." Gaius said, making Merlin smirk and the lady blush a bit. "I... uh... sexual activities make people use their energy a lot."

"Obviously..." Uther smirked.

"The difference, sir, is that people with magic are able to guide the energy they spend to an aim." Gaius explained.

"Oh!" Uther was still smirking. "Morgana has magic!"

"Uther!" She was shocked. "What are you suggesting?"

"That maybe we could solve the problem much easier than we first guessed, my dear!" The king told her caressing her arm.

"Sir, you shouldn't try it." Merlin said quickly.

"Why not, Merlin?" Uther asked frustrated.

"Using sexual energy to reach an aim will make you both use even more energy than usual." The warlock explained. Gaius and his mother were just looking at him with proud. "And considering Morgana is pregnant, it may not be safe for her or the baby."

"Then we'll find another way." Uther kissed Morgana's forehead tenderly.

"Maybe another spell?" Kevin suggested.

"A spell powerful enough to stop it..." Gaius said. "... when even salt was useless."

Merlin opened one of the books and soon found what he was looking for. He took a breath, pointed his right palm to the ruby and said a spell. The jewel fell over the floor because of his magic.

"Still shining, Merlin." Kevin took it and put on the table again.

Merlin read some more pages and tried again, a new spell. The same thing happened, the ruby fell heavily over the floor.

"Wow!" Kevin was very surprised. "I didn't know the ruby was so resistant!"

"It isn't." His father told him. "Probably the spell makes him stronger..."

"Of course, because it has more energy than an ordinary ruby!" Gaius said worriedly.

Merlin didn't pay attention to them. He read his book a bit more, took a new breath and tried once again, another spell. This time the ruby received so much magic that it flew right to the stone wall, making a loud noise.

"Weird..." Morgana took the ruby. "Oh!" She felt dizzy... "Not again!" Soon Uther's arms were around her, taking her into his arms.

"Morgana!" Uther was worried.

Uther's voice was so distant! Morgana felt his strong arms holding her and, feeling protected, she let the darkness involve her.

"She's so lovely, my dear!" Uther said in her sight. "Beautiful as her mother!"

Morgana smiled, looking at the sleepy baby in her arms.

"The most important, Uther, she's healthy and strong. I'm so relieved!" Her baby moaned and snuggled in her arms. She's so perfect!

"Morgana?" Uther's face was the first thing she saw as Morgana opened her eyes. "Thanks god!"

"I'm fine..." Her voice was weak. "I saw our baby, Uther, she's so beautiful!" She told him.

"How do you feel?" Gaius asked.

"I just felt... weak when I took the ruby." She told them, taking the potion Merlin gave her.

"Don't touch it again, it takes our energy, Morgana!" Kevin warned her.

"And being pregnant with a baby who has magic, you must keep your energy." Merlin added, his mother looked at him with love and proud. Her boy not only was the official warlock, he was also a good and devoted physician!

"Oh." Morgana soon had an idea. "Merlin, if it takes energy you can't use spells on it!" She said. "The ruby will just use your magic and Morgause's spell will get stronger."

"She's right!" Gaius was surprised that none of them have deduced it before.

Soon they were all back to the books, looking for another way to stop the spell.

A whole week passed as usual. Or almost. Morgana and Uther spent their time together, enjoying their first week as a married couple. Merlin and his friends tried to find out other ways of stopping Morgause's spell. Morgause, for her time, spent her time trying to play the good girl. She hadn't visited Agravaine since that night. In part because she was still feeling unusually insecure after having told him about her feelings. And in part because she knew Merlin and her sister were watching her and Morgause didn't want more risks in her game.

Agravaine was clumsily cleaning his new home. Morgause... why can't he stop thinking about her? She was so perfect, so lovely telling him about her feelings!

He just hoped Morgause would come tonight. He needed her. Not only in her bed, but this week without her presence made Agravaine realise how much he enjoys her company, the sound of her voice, her smile... Was he... in love? No, such a different feeling of the one he had for his bride. But, again, twenty years have passed since that. He was older. Oh, and probably we don't love different people in the same way, right? The point was, Agravaine enjoys Morgause's company. A lot. And he needed to see her again.

As the sky was darker, Agravaine saw himself waiting for Morgause again. He was just like a puppy! Every night he makes himself looks fine and sat at the table facing the door, waiting for the moment Morgause would enter his hovel, until sleep overcomes him, so he would go to bed. But still hopeful she would arrive. For the first time, he got up and paced. He would no longer wait for her! He was a man of attitude!

Morgause was sat at the table. Her chambers were comfortable, but, she had to admit at least to herself, she preferred to be in a hovel. Agravaine's hovel.

"Here it is, milady." Her maid put some food over the table. "I hope you feel better."

"Thank you." She forced a smile to her maid. Morgause had gently denied her sister's invitation for dinning with her and the others, claiming to have a headache. She didn't feel in the mood to look at Morgana and Uther exchange of glances again. Or to listen to the prince's jokes. Or to see the how Merlin always looks dangerously at her.

"Will you need something else?" The girl asked.

"No, thanks, Mary. You may go home and enjoy this beautiful night with your husband." She smiled sincerely now. Mary was a nice girl.

"Thank you, milady!" She smiled back. "Good night!"

"Good night." She answered just before the young woman leave.

Morgause sighed and was about to serve up a piece of the chicken pie when she heard a sound. Weird! She got up and went to the window. Goddess! There was a man outside there, climbing the stone walls and almost reaching her window! What does he want? She carefully opened the window.

"Morgause?" Asked the man, almost reaching her window.

"Agravaine!" She was very surprised. Oh, and happy. He had returned for her!

"Shh!" Agravaine saw how much her eyes shined. "Control yourself, Morgause, or someone else will notice me!"

He reached her window and entered, kissing her desperately in the process. The lady gasped and soon gave in, embracing the man and bringing him to her. Clumsily, Agravaine stumbled in the windowsill. They both gasped as Morgause fell over the floor, Agravaine on her top, still kissing her furiously. For his pleasure, as they pulled away, Morgause was panting and laughing.

"Surprise!" He smirked.

"Agravaine!" She was still amused. "What are you doing here?"

"I missed you, Morgause." He said very seriously. "Every night I waited for you to come, but you never did!" He told her, making the lady a bit guilty, but very satisfied too. That means he misses her.

"It's dangerous for you to come here..." She said.

"You worth the risk." He smiled seductively.

"People are already thinking I'm plotting something!"

"Oh, and you are." He smirked. "Plotting a fair and better Camelot!"

"Yes, you're right!" She smiled. "Soon this kind of situation won't be necessary, Agravaine." She told him.

"Well. But now, enough of talking about politics, Morgause!" He said crushing his mouth against hers.

His mouth devoured the delicate skin of her neck and collarbone, his hands forcing her hips against his.

"Oh! Agravaine!" She tried not to scream too loud.

"Shut up!" He kissed her eagerly.

Clumsily, Agravaine freed his erection while Morgause wrapped her legs around his waist, her skirts going up in the process. He was about to enter when Morgause flipped them agilely.

"Oh, you naughty girl!" He smirked in surprise. Agravaine just looked at her in surprise when the lady just unlaced her dress. "Gorgeous!" He said amazed bringing her gown down to her waist and exposing her breasts. "You do enjoy to be in control, uh?"

"Yes." She smirked. "You just be a good boy and... Oh!" He flipped them once again.

"Surprise!" He smirked again.

"Agravaine!" She was shocked.

He continued teasing her, kissing and nipping her skin with his teeth. Morgause was moaning and groaning, she missed him so much!

"Beg me!" He required.

"Never!" She said stubbornly.

"Oh?" He couldn't believe her boldness. "But you will!" Agravaine made just the tip enter on her body. Morgause's hips went up and her body arched. "So?" He Held firmly her hips, so Morgause couldn't move against his erection.

"Please, Agravaine!" She said gasping.

"Please what, milady?" Oh, he has never been the one to make things easy! He kept teasing her with the tip.

"Oh, shut up and fuck me, Agravaine!" She said out of her mind, her hands going under his shirt and scratching his skin.

Agravaine's member pulsed and he promptly gave Morgause what she wanted, in a very rough rhythm.

"More!" She practically groaned the word.

Agravaine did as he was told, pumping hard. They were both sweaty and moving roughly, as if trying to recover the time they spent apart. When he couldn't hold his release anymore, Agravaine took his hand to Morgause's intimacy, caressing her most sensitive spot. When he felt her body getting even tighter, he had his climax, in the same time the lady did.

"Oh..." She was so relaxed on his arms! "I missed you so much!"

"So did I." He whispered.

For some more moments, they stood on the floor, their bodies intertwined. That was something so unusual to Morgause! But she had to admit, it feels great!

The royal family was in the dining room. Merlin and Arthur were eating as if there was no tomorrow while Kevin kept looking to the delicious dessert they would eat latter.

"I know a way to stop the spell!" Merlin suddenly got an idea!

"Tell us, Merlin!" Uther said, having one of Morgana's hands on his.

"But swallow your food first!" Arthur joked, earning a shocked poke from Gwen.

"Arthur!" The lady said.

"Funny!" Merlin looked at the prince. "At least I'm not getting weight because of the good food!" Morgana smirked at his comment, Kevin laughing very amused.

"Son!" Hunith was shocked! How could her son say that to the prince?

"I am not fat!" Arthur said seriously.

"Seriously, could the both of you grow up a bit?" Morgana and Uther couldn't help but laugh when she noticed it was Kevin saying that.

"Kevin! Behave well!" His father said a bit scared of what the prince could do.

"Oh, don't worry, father, they're already used to me!" Gwen smiled at him. When she and Arthur have a child in the future, she'd like him to be just like Kevin!

"Well..." The king said as the dining room was silent again. "Now, if you could tell us about your idea, Merlin..."

"Oh, of course!" He smiled and saw Arthur mouthing something like 'swallow'. "We could just destroy the ruby!"

"Merlin!" Gaius looked surprised at the lad. "It's brilliant!"

"So, next Morning we'll do it!" The king declared.

"So, Agravaine?" Morgause smiled at him. "I see you missed Camelot's food..." Goddess, the man was devouring almost everything he could reach.

"I must confess, Morgause, I'm a great hunter... but a terrible cook." He smirked.

"Oh... maybe one day we could try it together." She suggested already imagining both of them in his hovel baking some meat with some spice and potatoes.

"I'd love it." He said sincerely. His new home really needs some life. And with Morgause everything gets better! "Next weekend?" He smiled in hope.

Goddess, he was just an ally, like any other... and now she was making plans for a romantic weekend... and enjoying it! How could that absurd happen to her?

"Agravaine, look... I... It's difficult for me to leave Camelot."

"I realised." Agravaine said bitterly.

"Oh, it's not like that!" She said quickly. "If I had a choice, I'd be always with you and we would spend all our time chatting and having a lot of sex!" He smiled at that. "But... you see, Merlin and my sister are always around me!"

In that moment someone knocked. The couple looked scared at each other, hoping whoever was outside there wouldn't just enter.

Oh, Lord Agravaine, be careful or you may lose your head! =P

What do you think? I know I'm focusing a lot in Morgause and her problems, but it's necessary, so the story will have some sense (haha or, at least, I hope it will!). Next one Morgause will notice Merlin has something that belongs to her. oO

I'm finally going to be free this weekend and, if it keeps raining I'll probably be at home... writing and baking cookies! Have a happy and lovely weekend! =D
