Merlin had managed to hide his nightmares from Arthur so far but how much longer? I saw this cover picture and was listening to 'thinking out loud' by Ed Sheeran and this just came to me so I had to write it. I finished this at 3 in the morning so please be gentle.

When Arthur Pendragon is betrothed to a beautiful but odd stranger from across the sea, two powerful fates meet. The choices of Braith, the stranger, and of the warlock, Merlin, will shape the course of the future forever. A Maid for the Prince, And a Witch for the Warlock, This is a story of magic, monarchy, and rebellion. Destinies collide in Camelot.

Arthur and Merlin, along with the knights, ride out in search of Morgana but she soon finds them and secrets are revealed! Elyan is still alive but Mordred is on Morgana's side

"You have your destiny... and I have mine." --- Four long years after Braith killed the She creature, fate leads the young Queen right back to the place her adventure began. In the halls of Camelot. Four long years after he parted ways with one of the few people to ever understand him, fate is leading Merlin ever closer to the day he's fought so long to avoid. Forced back together again by a vile turn of events, the warlock and the Dane will come to face something they only imagined in their bleakest nightmares: The rise of Morgana Pendragon. As the dark grows ever stronger, their's is a story of destiny, desire, and betrayal. Fates collide in Camelot.

Merlin and Morgana. Light and dark. Love and hate. Two people that should never be together. Never cross paths. But they do. However, when Arthur becomes aware of the growing relationship between his servant and his worst enemy, he acts quickly to destroy it. Does love conquer all? ...Or will hate always win? WARNING, SLOW UPDATES.

Keep your magic hidden. Don't let King Uther find out. Stay with Merlin, he'll protect you. Find Mordred and don't let him go near Morgana. Save Camerlot from destruction. And don't let Merlin know that you love him. ____________________________________________________________________ Well, wasn't that interesting.
