The Truth about Merlin

Just a Vision?

"What do you want" Merlin said coldly, showing no fear.

"Relax Merlin, I'm just here to talk." Merlin didn't believe her but when he looked at her properly he noticed something strange. She was clean with no dirt on her face or leaves in her hair, and her hair was in ringlets and it fell neatly behind her back. She was wearing a long red dress too instead of her black lacy one. "You look puzzled Merlin" she said smoothly.

"What do you wish to talk about" he said in the same cold tone as before. He glared at her suspiciously but her eyes looked warm and inviting.

"You don't look happy to see me this time" she said, looking sad.

"This time?" Merlin questioned and she nodded.

"Don't you remember our time in the forest, well the short time that we had?" Merlin thought for a moment and then a hazy memory appeared in his mind and he recognised her immediately. Her appearance was exactly the same and he remembered himself smiling and waving to her.

"Why were you there? Why do I have this memory?"

"Because it happened, the memory is true. Between being unconscious you managed to get up and see me."

"Why don't I remember then...who are you?"

"You know who I am Merlin" she smiled warmly.

"No, the Morgana I know would not be acting like this."

"Well if that's what you want to believe" she said.

"Is this all in my head?" Merlin felt very confused. She didn't reply. He blinked a few times and shook his head but when he looked in front she was still there. "You're just a vision" Merlin kept telling himself.

"You still seem confused upon seeing me. Why can't you act like you were when we were back in the forest... I'm surprised Arthur didn't tell you." This caught Merlin's attention and he began to remember seeing Arthur and the Knights in the memory. Morgana's eyebrow raised slightly but he didn't see.

"Why didn't he say?" Merlin muttered. Then he thought of something. "Did he see you? If so, I'm not going crazy" he said.

"Go ask him yourself" she simply said. Merlin still felt uncomfortable with talking to her. He wanted to ask Arthur but then he'll ask questions about Morgana. He knew Arthur was ok about Merlin's magic but he didn't want to involve him in every magical affair. He thought long and hard and eventually he made the decision to talk to Arthur; he needed to know if this person was real or a hallucination. She doesn't seem like a threat, he thought, but she looks like Morgana.

Morgana wandered around the room, picking up books and admiring little trinkets. His plan was to get back as soon as possible before her cruel attitude resurfaced. For now, he sensed no dark magic in her. Merlin walked straight past her, avoiding eye contact and he left his room without saying goodbye to her. He went to find Arthur.
