Chapter 4
The following morning, Arthur and Merlin had agreed to meet with the Winchester boys to discuss everything they knew about this sorcerer who brought them to Camelot. "Alright you two", Arthur started. "I want to you to tell me everything you remember about this sorcerer. We might have seen them before." The boys looked at each other a moment, almost as if they were reading each other's minds. "Well, it was a women." Dean seemed proud of himself for remembering that detail and gave Arthur a look of awaiting approval. It never came. Merlin began thinking out loud in a muffled mumble. "Well she knew who I really was…had to have told her…never really told anyone…Gaius knew…unless I've faced her before…" At that remark, Arthur looked surprisingly at Merlin. "You've faced other sorcerers before?" Merlin had told Arthur about his magic, but he had forgotten to mention the fact that what he was protecting him from wasn't always bandits or accidents. "Sorry Sire." Merlin replied hoping that Arthur would let it go for time reasons. "MERLIN!" Arthur yelled, in his usual 'annoyed with Merlin' tone. Sam didn't want them to get into an argument and forget the real reason they were meeting, so he interrupted before Arthur could say anything else. "You know, we really don't have time for this." With that, they were back on topic.
After about an hour or two, the boys were getting frustrated that they hadn't made any real progress in figuring out who the sorceress was that brought the Winchester boys to Camelot. All of a sudden, Merlin jumped up and yelled, "I know who it is!" Arthur turned to Merlin and with a slight smile said, "why don't you share with the rest of the class?" Merlin shot him a sideways glance, then continued. "It's Morgana. She's the only one with enough power to do something like this." Arthur seemed completely shocked. He had no idea that Morgana had magic, and up until a few days ago, he hadn't known Merlin did either.
Over the next little while, Merlin did all he could to explain how powerful Morgana actually was and to do so, he had to explain just how powerful he was as well. Arthur and the Winchester boys were shocked. They didn't know what to think, but at least they knew who had brought the boys there. "So you can send us back right?" Dean asked to break the silence. Merlin didn't know what to say. He really didn't know any spells that could open a doorway to the past, let alone the future. "I'll have to talk to Gaius to see if he knows anything that can help." And with that, the group disbanded and waited to hear what Merlin would find out in the next few days.
