Queen of Camelot ~~~ON HIATUS~~~

Chapter Twelve (III)

"We need to destroy it. Then the plague will stop and Uther may see sense." Merlin demised as he stated down the picture of the Afanc.

Morgana took in a sharp breath before letting out a loud sigh. "And that's why you need Arthur."

Merlin again nodded furiously. "He's our best chance. But he won't want to disobey the King." Merlin didn't know how to convince the idiot soldier.

This however caused Morgana to grin a little. "Leave that to me."

Merlin smiles watching as Morgana leaves. Merlin grabs a few things jogging into his room skimming for a few spells on wind and fire. Just before he left Gaius gave him a hug and the keys to the water caverns

Artura stared at the mess, lost in thought about what to do about getting the people water. Suddenly the doors slammed open and in rushed Morgana.

Artura perked up her eyes widening in concern. "You alright? Sorry about all this." Her hand swept her desk. "Merlin's not been in today."

Morgana head shook, "Poor Merlin."

Artura rolled her eyes before looking over the mess again. "Yeah."

"To offer to give up his life to save Gwen's. I certainly can't imagine any man loving me so much." Morgana said dreamily.

Another eye roll was offered. "No, I certainly can't imagine that either."

Instead of annoying Morgana liked she had hoped the Lady Morgana smirked, "That's because you're not like Merlin. He's a lover."

Artura could believe her ears Merlin a lover more like a complainer. "Yeah, maybe that's because I haven't found the right person to love." Artura countered already sick of the stupid conversation about love.

Morgana's smirk widened into a full blown smile. "Sadly the age of gallantry seems to be dead. You look around and all you see are small men, not big enough to fill their armour. There's not one of them that' s able to stand up for what is right." Morgana teased.

Artura was soon to follow with her own smirk catching onto Morgana's obsessive insults. "I assume you didn't come here just to insult me, What do you want me to do?"
                   ~~~~~~~~~~
Morgana, Merlin, and Arthur all stood outside the water cavern entrance.

Arthur sighed before nodding his head and heading inside glancing back at Merlin. "You'd better be right about this, Merlin."

Off to the left of them a low growl echoed through the cave. Hand on her chest Morgana gasped loudly. Arthur turned to Morgana his eyebrows frowned. "You should stay here."

Morgana glared at him. "I'm coming with you." Morgana declared stubbornly.

This only caused Arthur to scowl. "No."

Forcing a brave presence around herself she got closer to Arthur making sure to step up on a rock so he was looking up at her. "Scared I'll show you up?"

"Father will slam us both in chains if he knew I'd endangered you." Arthur explained. Morgana fought back a small smile since he didn't deny her words.

Snapping herself away from him, making sure to hit his face she declared, "Well good thing he doesn't know about it then."

Arthur sighed in frustration trudging after her. "Morgana please turn back, I'm already risking more lives than I like in general. I don't want you to get hurt."

Morgana was back to staring him down her sword pointing at his chest. "You could too... if you don't get out of my way."

Merlin did his best to suppress a light chuckle. Arthur sends him a glare rolling his eyes at Morgana
