Yes, it is fianlly Merlin's proposal. Hope it is as you all wished for. I am open to suggestions for chapters, by the way.

She rode towards the forest, the wind pushing her hair back from her face, leaving it twisting in the air. She arrived at the forest edge, and pulled her horse to a halt. She dismounted, and tied him to the nearest tree. She looked around for a clue of any sort. After a few moments, she spotted some rose petals floating down in front of her to form a trail. More petals fell with each step she took. She followed them through the forest as the path twisted and turned. Soon, she arrived at a stream. She hopped onto the stepping stones that dotted the iridescent water that shone in the moonlight, careful not to lose her footing. Once she reached the last step, she saw an arch with blue and purple glowing flowers intertwined in its green branches, and underneath it was, Merlin. He was stood with his hands behind his back, shifting his weight between his feet. His eyes flashed gold, and candles she hadn't before noticed lit up. He extended his hand to her, which she took gladly. He took her other hand, and moved her around in front of him.
"You look beautiful."
"Thank you." She said, a blush forming on her cheeks.
"You look very handsome."
He was wearing his blue shirt with his trade mark red neckerchief. Morgana had often stated that this was her favourite of his outfits, although he did only own three.
He grinned at her before adverting his gaze. He  was still shuffling, and had begun to chew on his lip.
"Merlin... what's the matter?"
He looked up to her then, his baby blues scanning her face.
"Morgana, from the moment you entered my life, I knew I wanted to spend a lot of time with you. I now know I want to spend all my time with you. I also know that I never want you to leave my life. Which is why I need to ask you something."
He kept his eyes on hers as he dropped to one knee.
"Morgana Pendragon, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?"
He held out a small box, containing a diamond ring. Tears began to fall from Morgana's eyes as she frantically nodded her head.
"Yes, yes, yes! Of course I will!" She cried, holding her hand out to him.
His grin broadened as he slid the ring on to her finger. She pulled him up from the ground, and into a kiss.
"Look up."
She looked to where he was pointing, and saw Merlin had enchanted a swarm of fireflies to float overhead, their bulbs lighting up their faces. She sighed in awe as they turned into tiny birds, and flew up to rest on the branches of the arch.
"This is so beautiful, Merlin."
"Not as beautiful as you." He said, planting a kiss on her hand.
"Oh, Merlin. That is so cliche."
"And? What exactly are you going to do with me?" He teased, raisng an eyebrow.
"You'll have to wait for the honeymoon to find that out."
His cheeks turned crimson, causing Morgana to giggle.The birds erupted into song as Morgana pulled Merlin into yet another kiss.



Saucy... there will be more of that in the upcoming chapters. The upcoming chapters will also entail what Morgana intends to do with him on their honeymoon. I'll definately need suggestions for that. (Rating will rise to a 12A.)
