Do you ever watch someone as they talk, you see but you don't actually listen. You let their words blur and you watch the emotions flash across their faces. Merlin was a pro at it, he did it almost every time he was at a feast. Usually it's just a good thing to know what Arthur is actually feeling so he can help anyway he could. However the raven haired warlock had found another use for it, Morgana.

Merlin looked at Morgana's face as it filled with hatred. She screamed at him while he dangled by his hands, that were chained. "You don't know how it feels! To have to hide who you are from the people you love, because they would never accept you!"

Clenching his fist he tried not to say anything as she goes on and on. "You have nothing to fear!" She yells, "I had to keep that part of me hidden for months! Or Uthur would've killed me! You DON'T have magic you don't know how it feels!" The chains broke away from his hands as he stands tall. "MONTHS! You may be right that I don't know how your life went. However never ever say that I don't know how you feel! I was born with magic I could move things with my mind before I could crawl! Then just one day you got magic? It is you Morgana who don't understand!"

She stands there with her mouth wide open as surprise takes over all her features. "You told me that you had magic, I was happy! Someone was like me! Do you know how hard it is to just see magic something that you hold dear tear another apart!" Merlin yelled getting in her face.

Suddenly his eyes shine with an idea, "how about a challenge?" Merlin asks his rage gone and a smile that Morgana used to love was on his face. However then she remembered how he tried to kill her with poison, how he took Arthur's side. "What if I say no?" She asks him and his smile turns mischievous. "Then I'll feel bad."

She sends a spell towards him trying to knock him back but he stays still. Morgana goes at him with her knife but he simple side steps and hits her arm. Suddenly he feels pain erupt from his stomach and stubbles back in surprise. Looking down he notices a different knife embedded into him. He looks up at Morgana and she smiles holding multiple throwing knives taunting him. "Intra momentum." He starts but she threw a knife at him once again hitting her target.

Merlin hits the ground and tries to calm down. He starts to chant but Morgana just throws another knife at his trembling figure. Soon he had four knives in his torso and it was getting harder and harder to focus. "Intra momentum temporis reversi estis et videtis mea in oculis tuis sicut me videtis per ey animo aspiciat in nova lux tua electiones, illuminatio mea." Everything starts to shift around them and Morgana throws another knife but it was too late the powerful spell was cast.

Suddenly the world around them shift and Morgan wakes up in a bed. He hears the man he always thought of as a father, shout at him. "Morgan you're going to be late!" Rushing out of his room he grabs a slice of bread slowing to a stop. "Thanks Gaius!"

Merlin wakes up in a very comfortable bed making him smile. It worked the spell was cast and he was now in the lady Morgana's place. Stretching he smiles as Gwen walks in. "Good morning My Lady, you are up early." Merlin froze at her sentence, My Lady? He hopped off the bed and went over to the mirror.

Sure enough in the mirror was Merlin but very feminine. He- she smiled at himself no herself and saw her smile, not a girls but his. Gwen came up behind him, "are you okay Lin?" She turns and nods her head, "amazing Gwen." She chuckles and starts to help him with his dress.

"Rise and Shine Arthur!" Merlin yells opening the curtains making the king groan and roll over. Shaking his head the young Warlock grabs his Masters' feet and pulls him off the bed. "Merlin!" Arthur yells and Merlin tries to run for it but his feet are pulled out from under him.
