strange, how everything had seemed like a fever dream, now that it was all said and done. arthur, relieved to have woken up in his own bed, had toyed with the gift he’d been given. a sword. strange. it was brandished with symbols that arthur didn’t understand. and arthur was actively ignoring it. when he placed his hand around the hilt, he’d gotten flashes. strange feelings. so similar to the feelings and flashes that had occurred when he’d met merlin for the first time. in truth, arthur had been glad for his time outside of woodshore; it was a reprieve from everything but now?
now, arthur was drowning his questions in a glass of bourbon. amazing how quickly they disappeared when his head grew fuzzy. it had taken arthur a few moments to realize that the girl was even talking to him, but his mind caught up to his ears and he reached out for the mobile with a nod of thanks. “would’ve been…” glancing up to thank the one who’d saved it, arthur stopped dead in his tracks. he nearly recoiled with the familiarity; his heart sped suddenly, and he felt entirely too sober. “i know you,” he said, brows pressing together with confusion. “why?”
it was almost as if time had stopped, and there he was in front of her. the one person that she did not ever think she would see. her foster father’s son. she knew though that arthur was not his father. he was kinder, showed more courage, and there was something extremely pure of heart within him. she had seen that on more occasions that she would ever admit. merlin hated her, and she honestly couldn’t quite understand why. what did she ever do to deserve such hatred, when he was the one that poisoned her? “i uh....” she blinked a few times and then cleared her throat. did he not know her? there was an ache, almost as if she was disappointed that he did not know her. “there is no way we could know each other though, is there?” she lied. if she had told him who she was and howe she knew him she could very well end up sounding crazy. though she would not lie about her name. “i’m morgana, and you are?”
