Chapter 34 - ch 34

" The first thing Uther would do after finding out where she went would be to send a massive armed force, with the intention to kill anyone and everyone who would stop him from bringing Morgana back."

" He would not care who they are, magic users or otherwise. Do you understand just how dangerous the choice you are about to make is for others?"

Merlin then realised just how rash his decision had truly been, because while yes he was thinking for the good of Morgana and for the good of Taylor and his faction he had overlooked the most important thing, Uther's reaction to Morgana's disappearance.

After talking with Taylor awhile longer he truly understood that taking Morgana to the druids would be a grave mistake potentially endangering a great number of lives and thus Merlin would take Morgana to Taylor and trust that Taylor could handle the potential consequences if ever found out.

Taylor left to the secret training room that he would normally train Merlin in preparing it for Morgana, while Merlin went to Morgana's room after Guinevere had left and invited Morgana to go with him somewhere so she can get answers.

Under the cover of night Morgana and Merlin worked together to avoid all the patrolling guards.

Then entering a secluded room Morgana witnessed Taylor floating in midair.

" and now you have come before me." Taylor said as he opened his eyes.

" Will you truly give me the answers I seek?" Morgana asked with hesitation in her voice.

" If I have the answers for the questions you ask then, yes."

" Then, is what that has been happening to me magic? Am I using magic?" Morgana asked with a tremble in her voice.

" Yes, and no." Taylor answered calmly before continuing, " You have a magical talent, but you of your own self do not know how to truly use magic."

Morgana's face practically lit up, relief evident on her face. Finally she was getting the answers she desperately wanted.

For the next half hour Morgana asked many more questions and Taylor answered all the questions that he had answers to sush as her magical talent is that of a seer which led her to seeing visions of the future which is the primary causes for her nightmares, meanwhile Merlin was standing to the side happy that his friend was able to be relieved of her fear and isolation.

Eventually Morgana asked, " Would you be willing to teach me how to use magic?"

Taylor remained silent thinking for a long moment before replying, " Are you certain about that? Because I can teach you how to seal your magic talent instead so you no longer need to live in fear of being found out."

Morgana stood there with confliction upon her face unable to make a decision as both options before her looked extremely appealing.

Taylor completely seeing through her thoughts said, " You need not give me an answer right away, you have plenty of time to think, before making a decision, once you have made your choice let Merlin know and he will guide you to the next meeting spot. When next we see each other before making your choice, no one except the three of us is to know that this meeting had ever happened."

Both Morgana and Merlin agreed. But before leaving Taylor put a spell using this world's magic on Morgana so that the accidental use of magic will not happen again. And so they ended it there going their separate ways once back in the citadel.

Days passed and many who had been arrested able to get released due to no evidence and although Uther normally wouldn't care that there was no evidence as just rumours connecting someone to magic would have him sentence them to lifetime imprisonment.

But with both Taylor present and no new developments in the investigation into the fire nor any new events after the fact, as far as he knows, he let those with no evidence tied to them go free.

Unfortunately there was evidence found connecting some of them, so naturally they were put to death in the castle courtyard, it was the day that many mourned.

Morgana naturally stood at one side of Uther while Arther stood at the other side, and while both disagreed with the killing of people just because they have a connection to people who can use magic, with Uther as king it's his word that is law and there's nothing two of them can currently do that will change that.

Many days after learning about her magical talent Morgana still hadn't made a decision, so she decided to go on a journey alongside Guinevere with an armed escort.

While on this journey they got ambushed by a group that appeared to be bandits the leader of this group was named Kendrick. All members of the armed escort were killed and Guinevere and Morgana were taken prisoner.

While asking to bathe Morgana and Guinevere made a plan to escape which almost succeeded.

Unfortunately Guinevere injured her leg so unable to escape Morgana gave Guinevere the sword she stole from one of the captures during the escape, and although Morgana successfully escaped, the captures still kept Guinevere so they decided to pass Guinevere off as Morgana to their boss Hengist as he doesn't know what the real Morgana actually looks like.

Meanwhile after Learning that Morgana and her entourage haven't returned Uther sent Arther and a sizeable number of men to go and search for her. Naturally resting before she was found was forbidden.

While Merlin would obviously have to come along due to Arther's orders, they also asked Taylor to join them as his magic could be of great help which Taylor found greatly amusing.

After leaving and before to long they successfully found Morgana but also learned that Guinevere was most likely still captured all the rest of the entourage had been killed.

Upon their return although Morgana pleaded to Uther he refused to send any form of a rescue mission over some serving girl, even though Guinevere had served as Morgana's serving girl for many years.

Due to Morgana's pleading Uther decided that she needs to be kept under House arrest.

So in secret Arther, Merlin and Taylor went as a rescue team for Guinevere.

Meanwhile, Guinevere was successfully passed off as Morgana to the savage bandit Hengist and thus he sent a ransom letter to Uther.

While having dinner Guinevere witnessed Hengist's version of 'hospitality' being a cage fight, with swords. But one of the two cage fighters was a old friend of hers… Lancelot.

Due to Guinevere not Accepting Hengist's offer of being his guest, he treated her as she believed herself to be. A Prisoner.

While in the prison Lancelot found a place to talk with Guinevere in her cell, without being caught. Until they talked for a good while catching up on recent events that each other have experienced since their last meeting.

Continuing on their journey Arther decided that the quickest way to Guinevere would be to go through the tunnels of Andor which are full of Wilddeoren. ( giant human eating rats. They are blind but with a great sense of smell.)

Arther was about to get gaia berries that's juices stink to the high heavens but quickly remembered that they have someone who can use magic and so could possibly help them erase their human scent.

And Taylor, both could do so and did so.

After getting through the tunnels, while Taylor was far enough away Merlin and Arther have a heart to heart About Arther's feelings for Guinevere and even though Uther would never approve when Arther is king he could change that. Arther then swore Merlin to secrecy over their conversation.

Meanwhile, Hengist grows evermore suspicious of the lack of contact between Uther and the kidnapped 'Morgana'. Kendrick is killed when confronted by Hengist about his deceit.

Lancelot successfully breaks Guinevere out of her cell and leads her to tunnels that would get her out of the fort yet Hengist and his men we're almost upon them so Lancelot stayed to fight while Guinevere ran.

Unfortunately both where still captured and thrown into the cage were the cage fights happen.

Arriving at the fort Merlin and Arther began scaling the wall while Taylor after seeing them reach the top appeared beside them without effort.

Sneaking into the fort and disguising themselves as Hengist's men.

After reaching both Guinevere and Lancelot, the three herd Hangist proclaim Lancelot and Guinevere to be killed.

Arther seeing a wilddeoren being released into the cage, jumped into the cage and working alongside Lancelot, while doing so they both talked to each other catching up like old friends.

Then Taylor and Merlin both jumped in and all 5 succeeded in geting out of te cage while Merlin locked the cage behind them locking Hengist inside with the wilddeoren dying In that cage.

While resting on their journey back to Camelot, Lancelot left under the cover of night after talking to his friend Merlin who Lancelot knows is a magic user.

During their talk Lancelot confirmed that Arther also has feelings for Guinevere and he didn't wish to get in the way of them having a relationship as he has always believe that Guinevere should live the life of a princess.

Once the 4 return to Camelot Guinevere and Morgana embrace, Morgana glad that her friend has come home safe didn't want this event to happen again.

So later in the night Morgana contacted Merlin and both went to Taylor and Morgana said that she does wish to learn and one day master magic, Taylor agreed to teach her and so she began to learn magic.
