So, this is the first of a series of action chapters. They now have found their main enemies who too know they are facing.

A hope this story is not beginning to become boring.

Tell me what you think! And I would also appreciate it very much if you could tell me whether I should put some more Mergana scenes.

Pls review

Morgana and Merlin exchanged a look. This was who they were facing. A ruthless murderer who had in his hands so much power that was able to eliminate anyone posing an obstacle to his plans. He had just admitted to it, without a speck of remorse. It was scary.

"So, back to our earlier conversation" Uther said, bringing them back to reality. "What was so important that made Gorlois keep me waiting, I wonder.?"

"It's not my place to say, brother. It's sort of confidential."

"Come on, Agravaine. You know him; he will tell me himself when he comes here, Gorlois. Just spare me the curiosity."

"I think he's seeing someone." He whispered mischievously.

"Someone, you mean like, a woman?"

"What other sort of someone could it be, Uther? It's Gorlois we're talking about, remember?"

"Yes, of course." Uther chuckled. "As far as I remember he couldn't keep his hands off pretty women. Including his wife. A woman's man, he was. So much that he even cheated Vivienne. His girlfriend at the time; what was her name…. Ah. It was Lizzie; she was the only one apart from the two of us who knew the Vivienne plan."

"By the way, how is your daughter?"

"Morgana, you are talking about?"

"Well, I suppose. Haven't seen her in a long time. She's a looker, I give her that. Imagine not telling Gorlois she's his daughter. He would go for her, I'm sure"

The two men started laughing.

"Oh my god" Morgana mumbled, having realised what they were talking about. The only thing she wanted now was to get out off the car, slain Uther, Agravaine and Gorlois for what they did to her mother and her. Merlin told her to stand still. She did.

"Oh, here he comes" Agravaine exclaimed. The two men left from Morgana's and Merlin' s visual extent and came back some seconds later, accompanied by a man in his fifties too, with no hair at all and blue eyes. Morgana almost didn't recognise him. The man she had seen in photos had black hair like hers. She had grown up thinking that she looked just like her father. It was by chance she shared some characteristics with him, she realised.

"Sow, how you have been all these years, my dear friend" Uther said with a smile. They had probably greeted each other before.

"Oh, you know me. A week here, a week there. Nowhere in specific. Boring life, I'll tell you. I was so damn glad that you called me. So, what is the mysterious plan you want me to carry out?"

"You know, what big G, I didn't actually invite you. Someone else wanted is to meet here. We better not talk about anything now. But, now that we have the chance, I have some business for you. Some people I need out of the map."

"Consider it done. But I want you to promise me that I will be rewarded. You know how. You're my sponsor" he joked.

"Of course I will. You are my best friend after all."

"You too are." Gorlois smiled. "Remember that if it wasn't for you I would still be stuck with Vivienne."

Gorlois said and then followed Uther inside.

Morgana swore loudly once they had been seated normally again and the three men were now out of sight.

"So, it's confirmed. Uther killed my mother, Merlin, he just said so. AND HE HAD HELP FROM MY FATHER. MY FATHER WANTED MY MOTHER DEAD. WHY THE HELL DID HE MARRY HER THEN?" she screamed.

Merlin was surprised by this sudden change in her emotions. He thought that she would burst out once she knew it but this was a day ago. He had once been surprised when she just accepted the fact pathetically last night but certainly wasn't prepared for something like this now.

"Calm down, Morgana. He'll pay for what he did. Both of them will" he promised.

Morgana stopped at once. Merlin at times couldn't understand her. The one moment she was screaming with rage and the very next second she was calm and surrendered.

Merlin went to get the some coffee from a shop nearby. He arrived within five minutes holding two paper cups with hot coffee. Morgana took one and started drinking while Merlin turned the radio on again. They both were thinking in silence, too confused to say anything aloud. Morgana obviously was not over seeing her father whom she thought dead for two decades very much alive and even more, chatting with the man that had ruined her life. Merlin was just worried about them. He could tell that Morgana was struggling to keep her rage under cover and he was wondering what this would mean for her. From all he knew her, he was very afraid that if she was given the chance, she would take revenge. He could understand though all the tension she was going through. He should help her control her feelings, however difficult it might be.

They started talking on other matters. It had been an hour since Uther, Agravaine and Gorlois had entered the pub and Morgana had suggested they leave them be and go home. Merlin had insisted that they needed as many clues as possible. He spent some time looking on his phone, doing something Morgana wasn't able to make out when the distinctive sound of Uther Pendragon's voice came to their ears. Like they had been struck by lightning, they placed themselves again to their safety seats, as Merlin called them. They were a bit uncomfortable, squeezed under the car's seats but they were invisible to passersby. Merlin closed his window apart from half an inch which he left open so that they could hear the conversation.

"Merlin and your stupid daughter will soon go and meet Merlin's jerk of a father, Baldor, or whatever was his name."

"Are you sure you are able of doing harm to Morgana? She was supposed to be your daughter after all."

Gorlois laughed. Morgana shivered at the sound. "My daughter. She never was my daughter, Uther. Just, you know, a alibi for our plans." He smiled. "And anyway, if I ever wanted a daughter, I can have one in no time."

"Yes, I'm pretty aware of your skills, Gorlois. No need for details." Uther said.

"So, don't forget about our deal. It's 100$ you owe me."

"Gorlois, my friend. Are you sure you don't want more? I'm not a generous man, but I know it when I see an unfair deal."

"Now that I think about it again. Could we raise it to 500$? Till now I had my own source of income, but with what I'm about to do, I have to say I'll probably lose it."

"Now I'm curious. Do tell me what it is about."

"Remember Merlin's father?"

"Balinor. Yes, quite well."

"Not only him from the family was useful for us. After we hacked his bank account and went though all those trials…"

"He was a clever man, to figure us out. The only one so far."

"Yes, unfortunately. Though it didn't do him any good. Look were he is now. Anyway, I used my awesome terror skills…"Uther and Agravaine grinned at that and Gorlois voice fell to a whisper " to ensure that his wife would sent to my bank account 100$ per month. I was not much but it's the price I have her paying so that I don't turn my aim to her sonny."

By the time he had said that and before Morgana could do anything to stop him, Merlin had got out of the car and thrown himself on Gorlois.

"How dare you" he shouted. "HOW DARE YOU"

Gorlois punched him on the face and Merlin fell to his back, on the car wheel, some blood spilling from his cut lips.

It all happened so quickly. Uther got into his Porsche and left while Gorlois Morgan Le Fay was taking out of his jeans a pocket pistol and turning to aim it at Morgana who had come out of the car and kneeled in front of the fallen Merlin.
