If it wasn't for Balinor's spirit, she would have successfully broken his spirit and possibly won the war. You challenge me as a friend must. Merlin soon works out that he has two options - Morgause could undo the spell or Morgana has to die if Camelot is to be saved. Morgana's skull has been fractured and Gaius determines that the injuries are fatal. Morgana uses an Ageing spell and visits Camelot as Hilda, Mithian's maid. Morgana blamed Uther for his death, believing that if he had sent the promised reinforcements, he may have survived. After some years without keeping contact with King Arthur, Morgan was believed by Arthur to be deceased, but she had actually retired in secret to her castle near Tauroc, Wales after her ordeal with Chthon. Who will save Arthur, will Merlin end up dead and will Uther be able to face Morgana again after all she has done. After these events, Morgana and Morgause's plans shifted and they began to deliberately seek Arthur's death in order to solidify Morgana's claim to the throne as Uther's only remaining offspring. Merlin is confused on how to deal with t… When Uther orders Arthur to retrieve the Cup of Life, Morgana overhears this and informs Morgause, who is aware that the Cup will help them capture Camelot. For Merlin himself had been her master in times past, and had taught her his arts whilst she was still a young damsel at the Court of Uther-Pendragon. Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin. Originally a kind-hearted individual, Morgana became evil after being corrupted by Morgause and being betrayed by her former-friend Merlin. However, when Arthur decides to join her and then return to make Gwen his queen, Morgana realises she has failed to alter the future and break up Arthur and Gwen. Then, for reasons unknown, Aithusa the white dragon appears and heals the injured Morgana, thus reviving her. Additionally, as Arthur is crowned king after Uther's death, Morgana seemingly instinctively inquires about his state of mind ("How's Arthur?") Morgana may not have won the war but she did succeed in finally breaking Merlin's spirit. Also during this time, Gwen begins to suspect Morgana after she sees her with Morgause, to the point that she spies on Morgana and sees her using magic, finally discovering Morgana's betrayal (The Eye of the Phoenix). Therefore, when Tauren attacked, she warned Uther and then ended up killing Tauren herself to save the King. Although he acted as if nothing had changed, Gaius helped Merlin work to thwart her plots time and time again, and when he was possessed by a goblin he told her that her heart was full of darkness. When he sees her on the way to Uther's chamber. And he's right. And just because I'm the King's ward, that doesn't mean I have to accompany him to the feast, does it?Morgana on Arthur.

Truth is, it doesn't matter which way you go.Morgana to Guinevere. Morgause then spirited Morgana away to save her, and kept Morgana in her care for a year, teaching her how to use her magic. At some point over the following year, Morgana gains the allegiance of Arthur's uncle, Agravaine, who is stationed in Camelot as Arthur's chief advisor after Uther's deteriorated mental state leaves him incapable of ruling. When Uther's soldiers killed Gwen's father, Tom, Morgana was enraged on her behalf to the extent where she participated in a plot to kill the King, but later changed her mind. During the battle she angrily demands to know who Emrys really is and why as a fellow magic user he would defend Arthur, who despises their kind. Having turned against her closest friends and even her own family, Morgana zealously pursues what she believes to be her rightful throne as well as the downfall of her enemies, even those she once cared about. Unbeknownst to Morgana, the viewer finds out that Morgana chose her to be the vessel of the enchantment. He couldn't help but wonder how exactly he got into this situation. However, as he closed the doors with his magic, he inadvertently caused Morgana to fall down the stairs and fracture her skull. He told Merlin he did the right thing by poisoning her, and that Morgana had chosen to use her gifts for evil, despite the fact that at this point she had been nothing more than an unknowing vessel for Morgause’s scheming. Camelot will be defensless without Emrys. You're wrong. Although Morgana says she forgives Merlin for his actions, this is far from the truth as Merlin sees Morgana meeting up with Morgause. Why would it otherwise be called a fanfiction? You're Arthur's servant, nothing more. They prepare to attack Camelot together on the condition that Morgana brings plans of the siege tunnels from the castle vaults, a task which she assigns Agravaine. Then, in the confusion, Morgana somehow escapes from the castle and finds her way to the woods. At Morgause's request, Morgana sacrifices her sister on the Isle of the Blessed at midnight during Samhain, with Morgause wanting her inevitable death to at least be used for Morgana's benefit. You're not alone. Then, that night, she has a dream in which she is surrounded by dead soldiers and is begging Emrys to help her. Vivien had now betrayed Merlin to his death and was now the most powerful wizard in all of the land. When Uther realises Arthur is smitten with a servant, he banishes Gwen from the city. When Arthur chooses a bejeweled dagger similar to the one in his vision, Merlin decides to follow Morgana. She remained with her family until she was about ten years old, at whic… On the occasions where Agravaine succeeded in carrying out her wishes, she would at times bestow icy congratulation, but often she would merely retort with biting sarcasm and further orders (The Hunter's Heart). Instead of talking with her, he chose to poison her in order to force Morgause to end the spell to save her life. Merlin tells her she fails to understand loyalty, a claim which she quickly refutes, claiming she merely has none left to be loyal to. Merlin was portrayed by James A. Stephens. Morgana brings the plans to Helios, failing to realise she has just walked past Gwen, who was captured by Helios’ raiding party. As a young girl, she often practiced swordplay with her childhood companion, Arthur, and according to her, used to beat him with a sword, though he would later deny this. Merlin had always hated that place- that day was no exception. When he died and I took you into my care, you fought me from the beginning. He knows everything.Morgana on Emrys. Morgana resisted attending this celebration, expressing to Uther her sympathy for Mary Collins and her abhorrence for the Great Purge because of the lives taken to accomplish Uther's endeavour to eliminate magic from Camelot. Merlin leaves her chambers elated, relieved that she forgave him, but unbeknownst to him her repentance is merely an act as Morgana has been in Morgause's company for the past year, and in that time has been fully corrupted and turned against Uther. Merlin later arrives, saying Uther believes she has been kidnapped and is going to execute everyone in Camelot who is under suspicion unless she is returned. The sacrifice of a soul, as required by the Cailleach, tears the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead. At some point Helios entered into an alliance with Morgana and seemed quite familiar with her, plotting to besiege Camelot alongside her. At a young age, Morgana discovers that she sometimes dreams of things that afterwards come to pass. Merlin soon realized that Morgana was the source of the plague and that the only way to end the plague was for Morgana to die, or for Morgause to remove the enchantment. Nonsense, my child. Nevertheless, Uther orders her to be present to greet Lady Helen. Arthur chanced upon her during a hunting trip and spent a week as her guest as she showed him the murals of Lancelot which she had painted in his room as her guest, possibly to get in good fervour with him.

Morgana rules for some time and tries to get the Knights of Camelot to pledge themselves to her, but regardless of the fact that she claimed to be Uther's daughter, the knights are loyal to the King and refuse to obey her. Morgana arrives and confronts Finna, asking for Emrys' identity, but Finna commits suicide with Merlin's sword. Her bitterness over her father's death and Uther's pivotal role in it causes her great turmoil and ambivalence towards her guardian. She appears at times to have an intuitive awareness of Merlin's abilities although she has never confronted him with it (The Gates of Avalon, The Moment of Truth, Le Morte d'Arthur et al). Some time later, after Gwen happened to eavesdrop on Morgana's conversation with Helios about conquering Camelot, but revealed her presence leading to Morgana coldly pursuing her through the forest.
