Fandom: Merlin
Pairing/Characters: Morgana; Merlin, Morgause
Rating: PG-13
Size: 1024x768
Prompt: For the dark_bingo prompt 'poisoning'
Summary: Merlin's actions in "The Fires of Idirsholas" have serious repercussions
Warnings: None



Morgause cast a spell on Camelot, using Morgana as a vessel, which began to send everyone to sleep. Morgause then attacked the castle while it was vulnerable. The Dragon told Merlin that the spell could only be broken by killing Morgana.
Merlin poisoned Morgana with hemlock. Morgause telepathically heard her cries for help and agreed to stop the attack if Merlin told him what poison he had used so she could save Morgana. Merlin agreed and Morgause took Morgana to safety.
This betrayal turned Morgana against Merlin in particular and Camelot in general.

Absolutely LOVE it honey!

Y'know, I actually saw an episode last weekend. Arthur was going to get married to a Princess who had a Sidhe living inside her. Very interesting.

This is beautiful and heartbreaking. I don't watch the show and I'm a little shaky on my Arthurian lore when it comes to Morgana/Morgause. What is their exact relationship to each other - are they sisters, half-sisters?

(If you haven't noticed, Lisa, I'm working my way backwards through your entries. O_o)
