Merlin Fanfiction (Merlin X Oc) (Season 1)

The Gates of Avalon

She was already awake and had breakfast made by the time Gaius and Merlin woke up. She looked at them smiling. She kissed his cheek as she sat down. She looked at him waiting for him to say something. "I have to go out with Arthur." He said as he stood up.

"First hunting trip?" She asked.

"Yes Aryanna first hunting trip." He answered with a sigh. He stood up kissing her on the cheek before walking out to get Arthur. She stood up heading to the door. Gaius just smiled watching them before getting to work himself. She got to Arthur's chambers right on time to get her list of chores to do for him. When she was finished, she did her chores for Gaius before heading down to Morgana's chambers since Merlin and Arthur left for the hunting trip. She got there and hugged both of her female friends Gwen and Morgana in pure happiness before sitting down talking to them for a while. The conversation was cut short when they heard about the meeting in the chambers. She looked at Morgana and Gwen thinking.

"I'll be right back." She said before walking out to the Council Chambers seeing a man and a girl close to her age. She walked to Merlin standing right beside him thinking.

"My name is Aulfric, heir to Tír-Mòr. This is my daughter, Sophia." Aulfric said to the king.

"You're a long way from home. What brings you to Camelot?" Uther asked, looking at them. Curiosity also caught Arya off guard as she looked at Sophia suspiciously.

"Our home was sacked by raiders, We barely escaped with what few possessions we could carry." Aulfric explained. She looked around at the others, seeing that they believed it. She then looked at Arthur seeing him stare at Sophia like he's in love which made her smile but also thinking.

After the meeting, she walked away to catch up with Merlin looking for him. When she found him, she saw him carrying Aulfric and Sophia's things and Morgana questioning him looking panicked. She walked up to the two thinking before it got deep. "Good evening Lady Morgana everything alright?" She asked. Morgana looked at her and smiled in relief.

"Of course Lady Arya." She replied before they both started giggling at the stupid formality.

"Do we need another trip?" Arya asked. Morgana nodded her head yes before both girls started walking away to Gaius's chambers together.

As soon as the two girls got to his chambers they both walked right into him working. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you." Morgana said politely to him.

"Nonsense, my child. My favorite patient is always welcome." He told her before kissing her cheek. She looked at them with a soft smile. "I'm sorry about the mess. Most of its Merlin's. If I'd known you were coming, I'd have tidied up here." He explained.
"Er...it's not that. It's just...your bench is on fire." Morgana told him. He looked confused but went to look anyway.
"My bench is on fire? What are you..." He turned around as he was talking to see what she's talking about. "My bench is on fire!" He exclaimed. She looked at the bench then around for a bucket of water to put it out only for Morgana to find it first.

"Here." She said, handing it to him. He took the bucket and tongs, putting the flask inside the water relieved.
"You're always getting me into trouble. What brings you to this dark corner?" He asked her.

"I had another dream." She answered.

"I see." He replied. She sat down on an empty table listening to them thinking.

"I saw Arthur lying under water, drowning, and there was a woman standing over him, watching him die. And she's here in Camelot." Morgana explained.

"The mind plays tricks. It borrows from everyday life and plays out its own fantasy." He told her.
