Merlin: True identity

True identity

Yeah, I managed to write another one shot :D. It's again a reveal story, just because I really like those. I hope you like it! Please vote and comment if you do, it would mean more to me than you'd think!

Synopsis: Morgana has taken over Camelot. Arthur desires to take it back. He has so far managed to get to the throneroom.

I don't own Merlin!

Arthur stormed through the door, expecting to be confronted by many soldiers. Instead he was surprised by the lonely presence of Morgana. He stopped and stared at her. He still couldn't believe what she had turned into. That loving, caring girl, now an evil witch. She stood up from the throne she was sitting on and gave an evil smile.

'Welcome dear brother, what a pleasant surprise it is to see you,' she said and grinned. He threw his sword away as a sign, because he knew he could not fight her.

'What happened to you Morgana? You were always so nice, why did you betray us?' he said.

'YOU were the one who betrayed me Arthur Pendragon,' she sneered. 'I'm just taking what is rightfully mine.' After that she lifted her hand and said: 'Oh, I'm gonna enjoy killing you.' Her eyes glowed gold as she lifted Arthurs sword from the ground. She slowly started to aim it at Arthur. As it sped up towards him, Arthur looked desperately for a way to escape, but he realised it was useless, she'd strike him anyway. I'm going to die, he thought in his final moments and he closed his eyes, waiting for it to come, but it didn't. He opened his eyes to see what had happened. The first thing he saw was the sword, which had stopped in mid-air just in front of his heart. It dropped to the ground. Why would she suddenly stop? he thought. Morgana screamed: 'NOOO, that's impossible!' Arthur looked around to see why she was screaming. He was stunned by what he saw. In the doorway stood Merlin, looking more confident then Arthur had ever seen him. But besides that, there was something else. Was it guilt? But what would he feel guilty about? Arthur thought. Merlin glanced at him, trying to put words into that one glance. I'm sorry Arthur.  Then started walking towards Morgana and Arthur. He said calmly:

'Stop this Morgana, while you still can, or I will have to kill you,' while he said that last part his voice turned sad, he didn't want to kill her, although she'd done terrible things, she was still his kin. But if he had to, he would, because he needed to protect Arthur.

'NO,' Morgana screamed, she was confused, how could one idiotic servant stop her from killing Arthur? How could he have magic? He might have magic, but he is still no match for me, she thought. 'You have troubled me too many times and for that you will pay. You might have magic, but you are no match for a High Priestess. It will be a pleasure watching you die!' As she said it she started chanting a spell 'áþræw stíþmægen fýrwylm æt hine,'

Arthur had no ears for it. He was stunned by what she had said before. Merlin has magic. He betrayed me, he is a sorcerer, he is evil. How could he do that to me? I trusted him. Then another thought ran through his mind. He must have been the one to stop the sword, he thought and as he realised this, he remembered seeing Merlin's eyes turning back from gold to blue as he looked at him. But why would he, a sorcerer, save me? Arthur was now totally confused, he thought about all times magic has harmed him, but also about the times Merlin stood by his side, as a friend. He couldn't have acted all that, or could he? He realised he actually knew nothing about Merlin. He knew nothing about all the times Merlin mysteriously disappeared or suddenly turned up; all the times he suddenly seemed wise or sad, instead of usual idiotic behaviour. The times I knew he was lying or hiding something, he thought. All that time, it had been magic. No, magic couldn't be good, Merlin is evil, he has deceived me, god knows for how long.
