Author Note
This is the last chapter as I'll be making it a multi part story like my other Jumpchain stories. After a time skip Morgana and Sir Gothic can start their travels around the world. Then I'll do a third story when they return to Camelot so that Sir Gothic can be a knight of the round table. I'm not sure when I'll write those. I'll decide after Xmas. For now enjoy these chapters and have a good Winter Solstice.
Jump Chain Gothic 5 - Merlin
Part 22
Fortress of Ismere. Albion.
While Jump Chan suddenly appearing at random was chaotic, she could be handy, having her do the whole fingers to the forehead trick in order to transfer information about Jump Chan really saved a lot of time when it came to educating my companions on the subject.
On the downside the mortal mind didn't react so well to getting flooded with so much information so quickly, as such it made people pass out. Morgana was a smart young lady, but her world view was much more limited than that of my other companions had been when I'd recruited them. Not due to any fault of her own, she just didn't have the education or the experiences my other companions had.
The existence of such things as alien worlds, alternate dimensions, time travel, super advanced technology and so on were much easier to accept when you already knew that it was possible to make trips to other planets and sometimes did so in your very own FTL capable space ships.
As such it took Morgana a long time to wake up once she'd gotten her upload of Jump Chain info, and when she woke up I was in a room I'd spent most of the night installing tech and tinkering with. It was a variation on the technology behind the galaxy map, and it was roughly based on the hologlobe I'd seen in one of the X-Com games back during my first life.
The purpose of the hologlobe was to alert me of any strange goings on that my satellites and probes picked up, and also to look cool. Mostly the latter at the moment as my satellites weren't detecting anything worthy of my attention, and didn't cover the whole planet just yet, not that they would pick magical objects or magical creatures, and there were any crashed alien space ships then they too dorment to be picked up on the scanners.
"Good morning" I said to Morgana "Sleep well?".
I closed down the hologlobe as it would be a distraction, and we had very important matters to discuss. Morgana would think it some sort of magical illusion and this wasn't the time to educate her on the difference between magic and technology.
"Well enough" she replied "Only now I'm sure I know why people shouldn't drink too much".
Apparently it was possible to get a hangover from an information overload.
"How much do you understand now?" I wondered.
She didn't answer right away, no doubt she was still trying to comprehend it all.
"Enough" she said "but somethings are confusing".
Jump Chan might have given her knowledge, however there was a difference between having information and true understanding. That would take time, thankfully she had plenty of it.
"It is hard to understand that you're not who I thought you were, yet still are" she said.
While selecting the drop in option when setting up a Jump made things simpler in many ways I'd given myself a background in this setting, which meant that Morgana had memories of me before I'd actually entered this world. I didn't think they were important memories for her as we hadn't socialised until after I'd become somewhat real, but that didn't mean she wasn't having trouble wrapping her head around the idea that her earlier memories of me had been manufactured.
"I'll explain everything in time" I promised "We don't have to leave this place until you're ready, and I promise that you're safe here. Uther won't find you".
Morgana seemed more relaxed now.
"Where would we go?" she wondered.
I turned on the hologlobe, having realised that it would actually aid me rather than simply serving as an unwanted distraction.
"This is Albion" I told her ladyship as I span the globe and zoomed in on what would one day be known as England "Camelot is just one of the kingdoms there".
I then zoomed out so that the globe now showed the whole planet.
"This is the world" I said next "Its larger than you can understand, and we can spend the next decade exploring lands were the people have never even heard of Camelot. There are places out there were magic is accepted, studied and taught to others, we go find them".
The possibility for adventures was endless as were the chances to learn. Given how many magic users there were here in Albion despite the Great Purge there should be plenty else where. Shamans, mystics, witches, wizards and who knew what or who were out there.
"I want to learn about magic" Morgana admitted "Will you teach me".
While I would like for her to become my devoted apprentice I was still only a mere padawan myself in terms of magic. Thankfully without the need to wear silly robes or a braid.
"There's much I can teach you" I told her "About science and technology, the universe, but magic isn't something I'm an expert in".
I could sense her disappointment and I could understand it. For all her life magic had been forbidden to her, and now that she was free to learn she had no one to teach her, at least no one for certain, or so she thought. I had made arrangements in advance.
Merlin's father wasn't the friendly sort, but he was far from evil, and I suspected that he would in fact be happy to pass on his knowledge. Besides I'd given him a dragon's egg, which was worth more than any amount of treasure, so he owed me big time.
"There's a man living here in this fortress who will teach you some stuff about magic" I informed her ladyship "And there are some spells I can show you. There's no rush to acquire magic there's more to life than power, try to remember that".
To learn for the sake of learning wasn't bad, but in experience acquiring power of any kind just for the sake of having power was short sighted and dangerous.
"So in exchange for becoming one of your companions you'll teach me magic and show me the world" Morgana summarized "That is hard to resist".
Given that she used the word 'companion' in the plural I figured she knew about the whole harem thing, which must have been a shocker.
"Are you okay with sharing?" I wished to know.
The whole harem thing could be a real deal breaker.
"It isn't something I've ever given much thought to" Morgana let me know "But none of this is".
She was going to need time to think things through.
"Well if you want to be my companion and get to see the multiverse then it's something you have to accept" I told her "Or I can send you somewhere. I could even send you back to Camelot. You can tell the king that I kidnapped you".
Morgana scowled.
"I never want to return to Camelot" she declared.
One day she would feel different about that. Of this I was sure of it.
"We can discuss it later" I decided "For now you should settle in, and take some time to think about your future".
I turned to Cameron.
"Show her ladyship to a guest room, and teach her how to use the modern facilities" I ordered "I'm sure she'd like to bathe, and you can help her with the feminine hygiene, you know how I like my women, and get her some clothes that she'll like".
I couldn't picture Morgana in the kind of bodysuit that my companions often wore, the image just wouldn't settle in my mind. As for the other stuff I really didn't want to think about what could go wrong when a medieval noble woman tried to figure out what do with modern plumping.
"What happened to Gwen?" the Seer wished to know.
"Not to worry, she's with her father" I answered "They haven't decided what do with themselves yet".
They could stay here. I had the room, and I could expand if needs be. But the world was a big place, a skilled blacksmith and talented seamstress would be welcome in many places. Although they'd have troubles given that they only spoke English and wouldn't be safe here in Albion. I could help with that, but in short term I wanted them to have time together.
"I'd like you to join me for dinner later" I said to Morgana.
While I rarely ordered about anyone in my harem, as it wasn't often I had to, I wanted to make it clear to Morgana that I was in charge here without being an asshole about it like her father.
It wasn't until Morgana left the room that I realised that I could have made my offer to her just by singing that 'Whole New World' song that was in the Aladdin film. Morgana was technically a princess and while I lacked a flying carpet I could easily put together some sort of flying machine.
Then again maybe not, if anyone could sue me across time and while I was in another reality it would be the Disney corporation.

There was no talking as Cameron dished out the meal she had put together. Our change of location and circumstances didn't seem to have led to her ending her role as a servant. Perhaps she'd realised that exposing her true self was unwise while the people now living in my fortress were still adjusting. Not that there was any need to act right now as Morgana had decided to be fashionable late for dinner.
This dining room, and the massive wooden table that took up a lot of the rooms internal space, was to large for one person to sit out without feeling a bit silly, but sit here I did while sipping at the hot soup that had just been dished up for me.
"Is something on your mind?" I asked Cameron.
She didn't exactly seem distracted, yet I got the sense that she was thinking something over.
"Yes, Master. I am considering what will happen when you give Lady Morgana access to your files" the cyborg told me.
Yes I would do that at some point in the near future. Her ladyship had been given a lot of info on Jump Chain, however that wouldn't tell much about this world or the universes we might visit in the future. Not that was what would concern Cameron.
"You're worried about how Morgana will react when she discovers the fact that she has a large family she doesn't even know about" I said "That could be an issue".
Finding out that Uther was her father and he'd never told her wasn't a big problem as Morgana would see that as as just another reason never again to talk to the king. Arthur she would feel more neutral towards, and might still have some affection for, and that was okay as we might see him again.
Morgause on the other hand was a different issue. Morgana had a sister she'd never known about, and I needed to tell her about that, it was better coming from me than someone else.
When her ladyship entered the room, having dressed very formally for dinner, I couldn't help smiling. Clearly she'd gone to great effort to make herself look good, and she'd done so for me I felt sure. There was no else around here for to impress.
"Is there something you wish to talk to me about, Sir Gothic?" Morgana asked as she took her seat.
Since it was possible that she'd heard some of what I'd been speaking to Cameron I knew that I had best be honest with the Seer.
"Actually yes" I told her "I need to tell you that I have access to a lot of information about this world and some of the people in it, and that includes you".
I had her undivided attention.
"You have a sister" I informed the magic user "And she's well... evil".
Morgana was understandably surprised.
"How is she evil?" I was asked.
I would have expected her to ask where this sister was, or at least her name.
"She's called Morgause" I informed the Seer "I don't know where she is now, but I do know that she's undergoing training by the High Priestesses and that she plots to destroy Camelot".
It was important that I tell Morgana all about her sibling.
"While she's aware that you are her sister, she's never made any effort to contact you" I told Morgana "And from what I know about her I don't think she'd ever have your best interests at heart".
In fact I figured that Morgause simply saw Morgana as a means to an end, a way to obtain power for herself through a proxy. That was why in the show when Camelot was taken it was Morgana who sat on the throne, Morgana having a claim to the throne allowed Morgause to control things by controlling Morgana. If Morgause had actually ever truly cared about Morgana she would have gotten her sister away from Uther as soon as possible.
"How can you say that about her?" Morgana asked me, sounding hurt "She's my sister".
Because I was pretty sure that Morgana's corruption was due to Morgause. In the show the two sisters disappeared for a year and when Morgana returned to Camelot she was willing to see her home invaded by a hostile army were as before she'd only wanted Uther punished for his sins. Or at least that was my opinion, given my feelings for Morgana I could be wrong.
"I'll give you access to my files, they contain all the information I have on your sister and what happens if you two get to know each other" I said to her ladyship "Read about what could happen to you and your sister in the future, then decide if meeting her is the right thing to do".
Morgana didn't reply right away, she busied herself for a few moments by eating some soup.
"Very well" she then said.
I had a feeling that the rest of dinner would pass by without many words getting exchanged.

While it might seem like a waste of time for me to plan a trip around the world to seek out magic users and adventure without even knowing who was going with me, I'd decided to do it anyway as if Morgana did decided to seek out her sister it wouldn't really change my actions. I couldn't go back to Camelot without Morgana even when Arthur ruled.
2D images were in the air around me, and each image showed something or someone that was of interest to me. My probes had expanded out and I'd launched more so now they were looking over the land that would in the future be known as Ireland.
That country had rich mythology to say the least, but so far all my probes had found were villages and the odd castle, not much different from Albion, with a minor difference that were many clans of druids still in Ireland were as there were few here in Albion.
If there were whole races of magical creatures living in Ireland then they were very well hidden. Which made sense as Uther wasn't the only powerful man with an anti-magic agenda, and I'd heard of kings who if anything were even crueler towards magic users than Uther, as hard as that was to imagine.
"What will you do if Morgana doesn't want to join you on Jump Chain?" Cortana asked me.
Her avatar had just appeared on one of the floating 2D screens. Replacing a view of some standing stones, which were sites I wanted to check out during my trip.
"Well if I can't send her home" I answered "So I guess all I could do is transport her to the Isle of the Blessed. I saw Morgause there and she seemed to know Nimueh rather well so I figure that she visits the island regularly".
In retrospect it might have been wise to have a probe track Morgause, but it didn't really matter that much as I had a feeling that Morgana would join me. I could offer the whole world and then more, and she understood Jump Chain at all she'd realise what it could do for her.
While I wanted to go and talk to her, to explain what I could offer, I knew it was wise not to overwhelm the young woman. She had to decide for herself how her future would unfold. All I could do for now was to find ways to keep myself busy and to make sure that I was here if Morgana wanted to talk.
Despite knowing that I couldn't help crossing my fingers and hoping that she'd chose me.

As it turned out she didn't want to talk much, Morgana gave herself to me in exchange for wealth, power, security, knowledge, adventure and I suspected at least partly out of love. Which wasn't really that shocking as I'd carefully laid the foundations for this relationship and my hard work was now paying off. Of course I was sure that the promise of being accepted for her magic, and getting away from her evil guardian also had parts to play in her making up her mind.
I shouldn't have been surprised that she chose me over a sister she didn't know who would led her to a dark future, not much of a second choice, and her third choice would have been to return to Uther in the hopes that he would believe that I'd kidnapped her. Which could have worked.
Morgana decided to give herself to me in the most sexy way possible, and had told me that she was mine to do with as I pleased. Which I correctly took to mean that I could fuck her as much as I wanted, when I wanted, within reason. She seemed to have accepted that her place was as one of my companions, and I would make sure that she would never regret her choice.
Rather than talk more I decided to get to the sex. It took some strength and determination to prize open her bodice, the fabric gave and her milky white breasts spilled into view and as expected I was soon kneading the tender flesh while sucking on her nipples. I wanted her nice and wet between her legs when I took her virginity, which I felt certain was intact.
She fidgeted a little and hummed as I enjoyed myself. Then she began to relax and enjoy herself too. Letting her long nails run through my hair and I switched between her perky nipples.
When I got bored of this there was the rustling of bunching skirts, as while Morgana didn't mind showing off her cleavage, she was a lady and therefore wore a power dresses, this was bad for me as it made getting to her pussy a bit of a chore for me. However I got there in the end and once I did I quickly got my trousers off so I could insert Tab A into Slot B.
Soon I was inside her and I quickly came up against her maidenhead, and I knew that it would not be pleasant for her if I broke it.
"I'm fine, really" she said, without needing me to ask her.
That was all I needed.
I thrusted into her and all the reaction I got from her was "Aah" She was tough lady, and that was sometimes easy to forget given how vulnerable she seemed to me. I desired to protect her, well mostly, right now I desired to fuch her sensless.
Which was something I got to work on doing, and despite the pain she had to be in, at least at first her ladyship made no move to stop me as I took her innocence. The bed that was the guestroom, that was now Morgana's room, barely creaked as I thrusted into her as I was going slowly, but I was now feeling the need to speed up.
"Mmh"
Now the bad part of was over, and Morgana was feeling good too, I could focus more on what I was feeling. She was so slick and hot it was almost too much to bear. If I'd know it would be this good I would have found a way to take her sooner. As it was all I could do now was make up for lost time and lose myself in the pleasure of getting to fuck a woman was pretty much a princess.

When Cameron strode into the room it was clear to me that she'd undressed before coming into Morgana's room to serve breakfast. She'd stripped down to her bra and panties, and was wearing high heels. Apparently even cyborg women got jealous as clearly this was some attempt to get attention from me, and I had just spent the night with my new companion.
"Is she going to serve us in such a state every morning" Morgana asked me.
Given that her ladyship was totally naked under the covers, I'd pretty much destroyed her dress last night, it seemed odd of her to wonder about such a thing.
"If she wants to" I said "Cameron exists to make me happy, and she takes that job very seriously".
While it seem petty that I had much larger breakfast that Morgana, that might be because my new lover wasn't known for eating a lot.
"I exist to serve" my Terminator said.
With that she left the room, leaving Morgana and I to talk.
"So when will we start our journey?" she asked me.
I'd already considered this.
"My intention is to start with nearby lands" I informed the Seer "But it is winter so we might want to wait".
I was sure we'd find something to in the meantime.
"Perhaps you could teach some magic before we go anywhere" Morgana suggested "I think it would be good for me to know a little before we seek out people who can teach us both more".
That made sense, so I nodded to signal my agreement.
"I know it might be dangerous" her ladyship said "but do you think it would be possible for you to my chambers in Camelot and gather some of my things. I know you have magic devices that make clothes, but I a lot of my clothes and jewellery were gifts that I would hate to see left behind".
That would be easy enough. I could just beam into the room, shove everything into my pouch of holding, and beam out again. My probes could ensure that the coast was clear, and if needs be I'd make the coast clear, I could also beam out to avoid getting caught.
"I'll take care of it today" I promised.
Morgana then got out of bed, and headed towards the bathroom.
"Don't be gone all day" she said as I as checked out her bottom "I'd miss you terribly".
I spent a moment wondering if it was too early to introduce her to shower sex or not, but I decided to stay in bed and eat my food. I wasn't in any rush and I would teach Morgana many things, including the fun of shower sex.
