What If? {Merlin}

The Nightmare Begins

Third POV

Kylynn had been woken up by a blast of power followed by Morgana's scream, she ran out and opened Morgana's door to see fire and blown out windows. She had pulled Morgana away as guards came running in the room to put out the fire. Arthur and Uther had shown up to see if she was alright. Kylynn was telling Morgana that she thought she might have had a power overload and may need to step away from the castle, as in to maybe go see the druids. Arthur had to put a castle wide search on those who may be responsible for "attacking Morgana."

Morgana had given the story to Gaius, being truthful about what happened. She had slept in Kylynn's chambers the rest of the night. Gaius was annoying both of them by claiming Morgana had no magic and it was just a coincidence, they knew he knew otherwise from the looks he had been giving them whenever Kylynn was sick.

Gaius had argued with Merlin about talking to Morgana about magic. On how showing her to the druids would be a bad idea, although the wards and Arthur knew Morgana was going to be there. Lancelot had just been sent there to help give them some supplies because they didn't want to enter Camelot.

When Morgana woke up the next night, shattering the vase with the flowers Merlin had brought, she got up and saw a note from Kylynn, 'Go see Merlin, Gaius won't be there,' it said. Morgana was still very startled about the explosion as she ran down the hall in tears. "Is Gaius here?" she may have known Gaius wasn't there but Merlin would possibly be suspicious if she came to see him instead.

"Er, no he's not here at the moment. He should be back soon though," Merlin said.

"I need to speak to him. Where is he?"

"He's gone to see the king. What's wrong? You can trust me, Morgana. You know you can," Merlin reassures her. Morgana calmed down a bit.

"I feel like some part of me is going out of control. No remedy is going to help with that, I don't want any other thing. I know it's magic and I am freaking out," Morgana admitted. She was actually scared, the others knew she was scared. She knew the druids were waiting for her, they were some of Kylynn's trusted druids that hung around Camelot, knowing the risks. They knew who was trusted, even Arthur.

"What?" was Merlin got out.

"I'm your friend, you know I wouldn't make this up," Morgana assured him.

"Of course,"

"Then you believe me? You think it's magic too. Please, Merlin. I just need to hear someone say it so I don't have to keep feeling like I'm imagining it," Kylynn had a theory that Morgana might actually be developing an affinity for darker magic. She had to quickly point out to Leon, Arthur, Gwen, and Morgana that dark magic was not bad, it just depends on how you use it. Black magic was what was bad. While the druids were peaceful, they would still be able to help Morgana keep herself calm to train that kind of magic.

"I really wish there was something I could say," Merlin said. Morgana was disappointed, she backed away and walked out and straight back to Kylynn's room, "You go to the druids tomorrow," she whispered. Morgana nodded and snuggled up next to the warm redhead. They figured Merlin would have gone to see the dragon, but they knew he would tell Merlin on how she shouldn't be trusted and that she would turn to be a bad guy. Kylynn had told Arthur and Morgana the destiny of Camelot when they grew to trust her fully, and after she made so many predictions that came true. Morgana had refused to follow her sister steps and take over Camelot, she didn't want to rule.

The next morning, Kylynn had been contacted by one of the magic users that Merlin thankfully saved from being arrested saying that Merlin was asking her about the druids. Merlin had shown up back at Morgana's door and they made small talk before Merlin had closed the door and said, "I understand. I realize how frightening all this must be for you. Especially for you."

"Why especially for me?"

"You're the King's ward. You know his hatred of magic better than anyone," well Morgana wasn't the only ward with magic but Merlin didn't know that. He brought up the druids and where she could find them. She left that night to go find the druids who were expecting her. They were to quickly give her some things to practice who help control her currently explosive magic because, as predicted, Uther freaked out. Kylynn had been under constant supervision, so was Mauve. Mauve had been included as she came with Kylynn when she became Uther's ward, Uther wasn't exactly responsible for her but knew if something happened to her, he would have to deal with Kylynn's kingdom. Kylynn still wasn't trustful of many men and Uther knew Kylynn and Leon had a sibling relationship, so he was watching over them.

Morgana had been attacked by a serket and found by a druid Aglain, along with Mordred. He was rather happy to see Morgana, he kept bouncing around the camp after finding out she would be coming there. 'Mordred, they are coming to kill the druids, Arthur is trying to hold off for as long as he can,' Kylynn had sent to Mordred telepathically.

Merlin shows up to find Morgana and tells her things she already knew, when the four start running once Aglain tells them Arthur and the guards were coming. They had found Morgana and brought her back after shooting Aglain. Mordred ran off to hide, he had been given a healing remedy from Eileminti by Lancelot to give Aglain. Once there were no signs of the guards, he ran and healed his current caretaker.

Morgana had been fully healed and Merlin went and checked on her. Kylynn had been next to her the whole time, Morgana had been cold and even though she was sitting a bit away from Morgana, the dark haired woman could still feel the warmth she gave off. Arthur had been outside the door when Merlin came out. "You SOOO have affections for the Lady Morgana," the girls heard Arthur taunt and held in giggles.
