Legendary

by LH Nicole

  “Jealous? Surely Merlin also had many lovers during his banishment. How many did you have?” Mordrid deflected Morgana’s hand when she tried to slap him.

  “Curse you, cousin! Just tell me,” she raged, hazel eyes flashing a dark blue as her magic rose like a viper.

  “Have you never wondered why the queen broke Oberon’s laws and saved that waste of a pretender king?” Mordrid spat.

  Morgana sneered, rolling her eyes. “She hates us. She knows you can destroy her and take Avalon.”

  “But what else?” Mordrid asked, raising his eyebrow.

  Morgana looked away, thinking. Queen Titania was a power hungry woman. Not only did she rule the Isle of the Blessed, but when she had taken Lord Oberon as her husband, she had gained Avalon as part of her dominion. Camelot was a jewel she had always coveted, but it wasn’t part of the magical realms. She could never have it.

  The sorceress’s eyes widened, realizing what Mordrid was implying. “She wants one of her blood to sit on Camelot’s throne.”

  “Precisely,” Mordrid sneered. “What’s the surest way to accomplish that?”

  “The Destined One.” Morgana laughed at the irony.

  Mordrid turned back to his mirror, and a vision of Aliana from the party weeks ago appeared. Titania would get what she wanted, but Aliana would be at his side, not Arthur’s. She would be his once he killed King Arthur and his blasted Knights of the Round Table.

  Mordrid smiled, thinking of when he would have Aliana for himself. He turned to Morgana. “Tell your puppet they’re coming right to him,” he ordered, dismissing the sorceress.

  Morgana’s smile was ice cold as she nodded to him. She had a trap to set. One that would break the spirit of the Destined One even more than the death of her parents had begun to.

  She couldn’t hold back her cackle. “This will be fun.”
