Merlin lifted his head, half groggy he scanned his surroundings. Everything was dark, radiating a level of hate and malice. It put Merlin on edge, well mostly his magic, which was pumping within his veins. To his left a familiar black haired girl stood, stony faced.

"Morgana!" He shouted. She swiftly turned her head then ran up to the bars, trying to reach through.

"Merlin!" He moved over and grabbed her hand. The human touch tingled through his body, giving him strength.

Everything was unfamiliar, yet it sent the same chills up his spine he felt oh so long ago. He felt it in his bones, he was at the same place, yet it looked entirely different. Who has 2 sets of dungeons? Clearly drama queens. He looked over to see a second cell directly in front of him.

Gwen.

"Gwen!" He shouted and rattled the bars, she remained still, worrying Merlin to no end.

"Merlin, do not make them aware your awake. She's fine just not awake yet" Morgana squeezed his hand and he calmed down. "What's that on your neck?" He reaches over and touched his neck, his hand coming up with a gruesome red blood sticking to it. Why is blood so sticky?

Not the point. He was bleeding actively and trapped in a weird dark second dungeon that was very much overkill. Dear god when did his life get so hard.

Footsteps rattled the room around them bouncing all around in merlins oversized ears. He leaned his eye to see across the bars and came across blood stained boots. They left foot prints marking the path he once took. The stopped and scrunched down to meet merlins eyes.

Sir dallent.

"Hello Merlin" Merlin growled at him, thinking of all the wolves that have kept him safe in the darkness of night.

The night seemed only like a fond memory at this point. Would he never see the sparkling gemstones in the sky again? Would he never feel the soft misty night sway against his skin? Would he never see the dark mountains views cloud his vision? Would he never see the world again? Would his last days be in this dark clammy room?

No. He wouldn't let them be.

"Sir" he growled. Sir Dallent laughed at him, looking down at him, the ant beneath his feet.

"Still stupid as ever merlin" Merlin scowled at him. Confusion seeping into him. Was it his one rejection that led to this utter psychopath? Sir dallent smiled sickly, as if he knew inside merlins mind, exactly how he thought and what.

"No it was not your rejection, please merlin I barely knew you. What led to this? After you rejected me I ran out into woods to be alone where I was stabbed and brought to my new home. At first I resisted ill admit but then I realized I had something they wanted. Something that they desired, information. That left me with a position of power. Here I am, looking at the child before me. How does it feel-" Merlin rolled his eyes and leaned back clearly bored.

"Oh dear lord save me the evil bad guy stuff, please you don't need to tell me your entire story could you just cut to the action please I'm tired of waiting." The sir dallent sneered and snapped his fingers. Guards grabbed a hold of him and Morgana.

"What! Let her go!" He screamed and thrashed. "Let he go!" Sir dallent walked up to him smiling and lightly tapped his check.

"That would be nice wouldn't it?" He laughed and walked forward. Morgana and Merlin struggling against the annoyingly strong men holding them.

Morgause and Agrivaine sat there, laughing waiting for them.

"Oh their here! Sit down sit down!" She gestured to the seats around them, and with a jerk morgana and Merlin sat. The two men standing behind them. Morgause cut a grape in half -which was really weird and freaked Merlin out more then being kidnapped- and ate it.

"Hello Merlin. We meet again" she turned her head towards morgana, nodded, and left it at that. Agrivaine however spoke up, his weasel voice dripping with bitterness.

"I am sure your wondering why we brought you here" morgana growled, and snapped. Jumping up to loom over them, fingernails digging into the dark wood, blood dripping from her lip making a small drip sound.

"You have not right! Your full of hate and bitterness! I hope you die." She replied darkly. Merlin grabbed her arm and pulled her down. Morgause muttered something and the wood no longer contained the damage done by Morgana.

"No need for such extremes" she smiled, Merlin feeling more unsafe then ever. Dragging her hand down morganas and merlins arm she gestured around the room. "We wish to welcome you to our kingdom, mighty emrys and Morgana le fay."

"Pendragon" Morgana snapped at them, pride in her voice.

"Unfortunately" she scrunched her face up as if the word were a disgusting little leech. Agrivaine rolled his eyes and made way over to them.

"You have no choice, it's the dungeons for the rest of your days or a place among our castle to roam freely." Morgana spit in his face, got up and walked towards the dungeons. He wiped his face and leaned over Merlin. A shark smile on his face.

"What say you?" Merlin smiled sweetly and turned towards him.

"You forgot one detail" Agrivaine raised his eyebrow, indicating for Merlin to continue. "I'm more powerful then you" merlins eyes flashed gold and the table flipped over.

Morgause let out a squeal of surprise falling onto the ground, the table squishing her. Merlins eyes flashed gold again and he was on the roof, not unlike he was all that time ago. Morgana ran into the room holding Gwen, eyes flashing gold, on the ceiling with Merlin. Agrivaine panicked jumping up and down trying to grab something of theirs to hall them down.

"I am emrys" he shouted. The wind blew through, rushing in their ears, gold swirled all around them, the sky bowed down to merlin, turning day into night, the moon reflecting the sun no longer but Merlin himself. Morgana laughed and Merlin turned towards her to see her eyes turn into ice, rocky dark ice running up her arms. Gwen clinging onto her for dear life.

Morgause growled and stood on the ceiling, the pure magic around her wilting and falling into the ground as flecks of black.

"Oh you think your so powerful!" She screamed into the rush of the wind. "Your scared emrys! Your weak! Your sleeping emrys! I can awaken you!"

Merlin turned to her, eyes calm throughout the storm. "But you sleep as well, unaware of the darkness creeping up on you! Your filled with a incurable illness, you let it consume you. You hate it though, you hate your own darkness-" he was interrupted as the doors burst open and Arthur burst in.

"Kill the witch!" He screamed and the world burst around them.

Well I think we've reached our climax. Don't you? This whole story I've filled you with cuteness and love, I can only hope your prepared for some tears.

There will be a sequel but it's going to be awfully short I'm afraid, I say that not but it might be longer then I expected. We'll see.

I hope you've enjoyed this story so far, because I sure have enjoyed doing it with you. Thank you for all the joy you guys have brought me. :)
