Merlins POV
_________________
"Do you Merlin Emrys pledge to do all in your power to protect the magic community? Whether they be human, or beast? Do you swear to use the power of the triple queens justice only upon those who deserve punishment?"
"I so solemly swear so to do."
"Than by the power vested in me and through the will of the triple queen. I crown you. Emrys crown princess of magic." Iseldir announced. Gently placing the golden taira filled with magic upon my curls.
"Until the day that you are crowned queen of magic and magic is once more free. This tiara you wear. Shall only be visible to those who have both magic in their veins and follow the teachings of the triple queen. If a magic user is deemed a traitor under the eyes of the triple lady. This tiara will remain invisible to them. As per tradition. You shall only be named queen when you have found all 6 blood guard members. They are those chosen by the triple lady. They will be revealed when they have proved worthy of the honor of protecting the queen of magic. When their worthiness has been proved a mark of magic will appear on their skin. This mark will not only show that they are your protectors, but it will also have a word etched into the mark that will tell us what role they will play. Each queen blood guard takes a different role. It could be similar to blood guards of the past or completely different. They will be chosen by the triple queen to best suit your future rule. Only when all 6 have been found will you be crowned queen of magic. Until than your power over the magic kingdom is limited to a council. Every law you pass amogst the magic community must first be approved by your council. Which include Me, Aglain, Cerdan, Lochru, Ruadan. As your blood guard appears they will replace the members of the council one by one. May magic be with you my princess." Iseldir bowed. Causing everyone in the crowd to bow as well.
Well almost everyone. Morgana watching from the shadows of the trees. Merely watched in silence. A frown upon her pretty face. Her emerald eyes glistening with sorrow. Noticing me watching her she met my gaze. A million words passing between us in just a single glance.
Seeing the pain hidden behind her gaze. Was like a million knives stabbing through my heart. Making my knees quiver as I fought with myself not to fall to my knees and curl into a ball. Just from that single glance I knew. I had really hurt Morgana by even allowing the thought of killing her to cross my mind and she was making sure I knew it.
After a moment of silent attack from her eyes alone. She broke our gazes. Looking away from me as she retreated back to Camelot. Leaving me to be swarmed by the happy druids come to congratulate me. Yet no matter how many fake smiles I put on. I couldn't convince my broken heart to be happy knowing my sister in all but blood may very well hate me.
"Merlin my girl. I am so proud of you." Gauis cried pulling me into a bear hug as he blubbered on my shoulder.
"I never thought this day would come. Crown princess of magic. I knew it was your destiny to bring back magic but I admit I had my doubts when Arthur seemed to hate magic as much as Uther. Yet now seeing you with that crown upon your head. It makes my heart burst with joy. You have truly come far in these 2 years. I have no doubt now that magic will one day be free."
"But Uncle how can I do that when I don't even know where to start to find my blood guard? How do I free magic when I am.only crown princess?" I sighed pulling away from him and pretending not to see him wiping his eyes and dripping nose on his sleeve.
"Have faith my girl. You've come this far haven't you? I am sure when the time is right they will appear. From what I know of the previous blood guards. They have been people who have proved their loyalty lies with the person they are protecting. One has even been the previous rulers brother. So who knows maybe they are closer than you think. Anyway we should be heading back before the king notices my absence and prince Arthur comes looking for his way ward maid servant." Gauis suggested already wrapping an arm around my shoulders and guiding me through the crowd back to Camelot.
"Ok Uncle. Through I still don't know how I am going to find my blood guard."

Morgouse POV
_________
Miles away. Deep within a cave. I sat stirring a large cauldron of dark sludge over a fire. Dropping in ingredients every now and than as I continued stirring. After a moment I stopped. Staring into the sludge. A sinster smile spreading across my lips as I reached down beside me to a mandrake root as well as a napkin with the tears of Uther Pendragon on it.
Getting thise tears was not easy. I had to cast a short illusion spell on him to make him think he was seeing his dead wife causing him to cry tears of joy. If that wasn't easy. Getting out without being seen was a nightmare. That Maid of the prince is like a blood hound. The moment I entered the castle it seemed like she was always around. Sniffing around the kings chambers. As if she knew I was there. Well its done now.
Dropping in the final ingredients. I smirked as the screams of the mandrake root pierced the silence of the air. Screams that only those of magic could hear. Laughing in joy. I carefully withdraw the finished root. Smiling down at its darkened features. Its sinster screams music to my ears. Finally with this Morgana and the throne of camelot will be mine.
"Don't worry dear sister. We will soon be reunited and no one. No one will stop our reunion. Not even that meddlesome maid."
