Reincarnated

Chapter IV

"The Morgana?!" Sam exclaimed from where he was standing. That was a name he thought only existed in legends. Morgana gave Dean a wicked grin before responding.

"That's right and I've been away too long if my name no longer strikes fear into your hearts," she said.

"You clearly aren't caught up on a lot then," Dean spat in her face. He didn't know how he knew who she was but her presence sickened him. Morgana gave him a fierce glare and was about to strike him with a spell.

"Ástríce!" A voice called out the brothers looked over and saw that Elaine had stepped out of the house. Morgana was furious when she saw Elaine, the girl who was supposed to be on her side.

"You," was all Morgana said before Elaine caused all the flames to vanish.

"I see you haven't aged a day," Elaine said before she sent Morgana flying without the use of an incantation. "I told you both not to wander off," Elaine told them. Dean remained silent since he didn't exactly know what to say, but this time he and his brother decided to listen to what Elaine had to say. However, she had brought the brothers to another location which was in a cave. She hoped that it would take Morgana a while before she could find them again.

"So you were telling the truth before?" Sam asked. Just a few hours ago he was worried about the world ending now he had a crazy mad witch hunting him and somehow he sent her flying.

"Yes," Elaine answered. "That was Morgana Pendragon, half-sister to the legendary King Arthur," she explained. "You may also know her as Morgana Le Fay,"

"Okay look I don't really read but shouldn't she be like old or I don't know dead," Dean pointed out, almost angry.

"If you have bothered to listen to me before, you would have remembered that I told you that she was brought back by Lucifer," Elaine responded. "My mentor Merlin imprisoned her in stone during their final fight, he could have killed her quickly but he chose to trap her instead," she continued.

"If you ask me he should have killed her another way," Sam commented. For some reason, he felt the sense of familiarity the more Elaine talked.

"You wanted to make her suffer," Elaine told him. "She had her son Mordred kill Arthur and well yeah,"

"I know the story I've read a hundred times, but why did you say me and not Merlin?" Sam asked.

"Like I told your brother before, there are things about yourselves that you don't know," Elaine answered. "Since my words haven't been able to convince you, it might be better if I show you," warning her eyes glowed and the cave around vanished briefly. Everything around looked completely white until the image of a castle appeared. "You will have to see it to remember," she told them. Sam and Dean wanted to ask what was happening but Elaine told them both to just watch. They were in a large room, probably a bedroom with a gorgeous canopy bed. The door opened revealing someone coming through, a guy who looked exactly like Dean stepped into the room with a sword hanging on his side followed by another guy that looked like Sam.

"Arthur, you need to listen to me," the guy said. "This is serious! Something isn't right, how could Morgana just come in here uninvited and present herself as a friend?"

"Merlin, I don't want to hear it," Arthur responded. "I gave you a task and I expect you to do like I say,"

"Your armor can wait," Merlin said. "You are too trusting, there's something about her, she's been snooping around the palace since she got here,"

"So she's probably just lost," Arthur said. "I also told you to give her a tour, she is my sister after all," Merlin rolled his eyes as he walked over to Arthur who decided to sit down at his desk and began writing a letter.

"Sire, please, you have got to trust me on this," Merlin begged. "I have a feeling that she isn't here on good tidings,"

"Merlin! Enough! Go and clean the armor-like I asked!" Arthur demanded. "If you don't I'll have you in the stocks before you can say stop!" Knowing that it was futile to argue with Arthur, Merlin turned and walked out of Arthur's chambers to go and do his tasks. "What an idiot," The memory along with the scene faded away into the blue mist and quickly changed to another one. They were in a throne room full of knights and a large round table. Arthur was present in the room as was Merlin, but the tension in the room was clear. Everyone around the table was whispering about how Morgana had betrayed the kingdom and Arthur had banished her. Merlin knew his enemy too well to know that she wouldn't just give up that easily, she would be back but he didn't know when. One of the knights came in and gave Arthur the bad news.

"Sire Morgana's forces have begun their descent towards Camelot," the knight said. "She comes armed with numbers and weapons far greater than our own,"

"Numbers don't win a battle, but my concern right now is the people," Arthur responded. "General prepare your troops for battle, my half-sister has gone too far this time," he continued. All of the knights immediately prepared for the incoming threat, Arthur left the throne room to grab his sword. Merlin followed after him knowing he was planning on joining the fight which meant that he would probably need to save the king's life again. "Now isn't the time to gloat, Merlin," Arthur said once he noticed him.

"I wasn't going to," Merlin answered. "But we do need to talk, you know that Morgana has your nephew, and she.."

"I know she wants him to kill me," Arthur answered. "Another crime at her feet that I didn't realize until it was too late," he continued.

"It wasn't your fault, Morgana is the one who chose to follow a dark path," Merlin told him. "You can't blame yourself for her actions Arthur, all you can do is the right thing," he continued.

"I'm not sure I can even win," Arthur responded.

"You will and your victory will be remembered till the end of time, just trust yourself," Merlin said, handing him Excalibur since the sword had been laying out for a while. Arthur took it but said nothing, he was unsure how he would win but he trusted Merlin. He had his whole life, so nothing could go wrong. The scene faded into a blue mist once again but instead of changing into another one, it went back to everything being white. Elaine stopped the spell and the brothers found themselves back in the cave.

"Now you know the truth," she told him.
