Morgana wakes up screaming that night. In her dream, she saw Camelot in flames and Gwen lying motionless on the floor. She is used to seeing these kinds of things in her dreams, but never before has she seen Gwen hurt in her dreams.
Morgana did not realize she was crying until she heard Gwen’s soft voice.‘Morgana, are you alright? Why are you crying?‘ Gwen asks concerned.
‚You’re alive.‘ Morgana says, lifting hear head to see Gwen looking at her. Morgana has never been more happy to see Gwen sitting on the edge of her bed.
‚Of course I am.‘ Gwen says before hugging Morgana. Morgana feels better immediately, as she feels Gwen’s warm body against hers.
After a while Gwen made sure Morgana was feeling better and stood up and walked towards the door.
‚I thought I put out the candle earlier,‘ Gwen says, confused. Quickly, she blows out the candle before making sure Morgana doesn’t need anything else anymore. After Morgana assured her she didn’t need anything else, Gwen left to go home.
‚Rise and shine, sire.‘ Merlin says happily, while he opens the curtains. Arthur lets out an unmotivated groan.
Arthur’s blue eyes blinked dazedly for a moment. Merlin couldn’t help but stare at his eyes. Arthur’s gaze settled on the light and be jumped out of his bed. “Merlin! What the hell time is it?”
‚Well, lets say you should be up and dressed already because you are to have breakfast with your father and Morgana this morning' Merlin said in a hurry.
‚So, you wanna say you are late?‘ Arthur said with his eyebrow raised.
‚well, if you were able to get up on your own and dress yourself you wouldn’t be late for breakfast. But I guess that is my fault for spoiling you.
A pillow flew at Merlin’s head. “Don’t try to distract me from the fact that you’re late, Merlin!‘
‚Arthur, there are rumours about a sorcerer living in the lower town. I want you and some knights to arrest him just after breakfast‘ Uther said strictly.
Morgana’s heart skipped. She knows she somehow lit up the candle when she woke up screaming at night. There couldn’t be another explanation than magic. Gwen put the candle out before she went to sleep, Morgana is sure of it.
What if she really has magic. Uther would certainly kill her, nothing would stop him from wiping out magic not even killing his own ward. Maybe she can talk to Arthur about it, he is not like Uther. Arthur has a kind heart, Morgana is sure he wouldn’t tell Uther about her suspicions.
‚Of course, sire.‘ Arthur said.
‚I have to figure out if I really have magic and if I can tell Arthur‘ Morgana thought. Morgana knows Arthur will do everything Uther will ask of him.
Then Morgana looks at Merlin. She knows he has nothing against magic, a year ago he helped the druid boy, Mordred escape. Also, Merlin is Gaius apprentice so he must know something about magic.
Arthur is walking around in the castle as he sees merlin with a bouquet of flowers, walking into the direction of Morgan’s chambers. He immediately gets a jealous feeling. Jealous? No. This is Merlin. Of course he isn’t jealous, that would be ridiculous.
‚Merlin!‘ Arthur calls out loud. Merlin stops abruptly and turns around to see Arthur’s questioning face.
‚what are you hiding behind your back?‘ Arthur asks, his eyes narrowing as he looks at merlin suspiciously.
