Author's note: Hey guys! So this started out as another chapter for "Reveal Yourself" but I just want to keep writing it xD Mergana up ahead, because I ship it like a primary export. Remember to review and check out my other stories!

She extended her hand, certain that her magic would kill them all, but nothing happened. She screamed her spell again and again but no magic came from her. For a moment, everyone stood frozen, shocked.

"Your magic has left you Morgana. It shouldn't be returning for quite a while."

"Merlin?"

"A long time ago, I promised to protect you." He walked towards her, his voice gentle. There was more behind his words than what he said, but now was not the time for questions. "You were scared of your dreams, you knew you had magic, and that you couldn't tell Uther, or Arthur. You told the poor servant who gave you your medicine instead, and I promised that I would help you."

"And then you poisoned me." her words were harsh, and caught everyone's attention.

"You have let your magic rule your life Morgana. You have used it as an excuse, and I cannot let you continue."

"And how will you stop me, Merlin?"

"How will you fight me, Morgana?"

"I will not need to."

With the smallest gesture, she commanded Helios to attack. He lunged towards Merlin, but was thrown backwards by nothing. At the last moment, Morgana saw Merlin's eyes fade from gold to blue.

"Magic." she hissed.

"Yes."

"You are a traitor to your kind!"

"The traitor is you!" his tone was one that no one in the castle had ever heard before. It resonated power and confidence. No one dared speak. "You are blinded by a hatred that is no longer relevant. Uther was a king who ruled with an iron fist. His mind could not have been changed. Arthur is not his father It is because of you, and everyone like you, that the ban on magic has not been lifted. Your kind is responsible for the death-"

"My kind is your kind!"

"No it is not!" Morgana paled as Merlin advanced on her. "You call yourself 'High Priestess' but you know nothing of the Old Religion. I wanted the best for you Morgana. I wanted to see you embrace magic, and become the woman I knew you could be! The woman I loved." His voice dropped dangerously, "But you used it only for your own gain, and you flaunt a title that is not even yours. I beg of you, leave. Run. Take your army, flee, and do not come back to Camelot again. I do not want to kill you, please do not make me." He was a few feet from her now, his eyes brimming with tears. Her heart clenched.

She nodded, pulled Merlin closer to her, and kissed him gently. "We will meet again." then she turned and ran.

Merlin didn't even know she had stabbed him until she was out of the room.
