Different Kind of Mess {Morgana}

[Deleted]

Rene knew that she needed to meet Morgana in a public place. It might have been months since they'd last met, but Rene certainly wasn't going to forget how Morgana had acted during those last few meetings. The magics had gotten out of control, and nearly done some serious harm to Rene. Yet this was the woman that she knew that Caz loved at some point in time. Plus, she was supposed to have his child.

But Caz was now changed. Different. He had aged back to being roughly the same age as Rene, even younger than Morgana. The only logical explanation was that something magical had happened to do this to him. Someone had cast a spell to permanently alter Caz's age. Since Morgana had magic, and she had been known to use it selfishly before, even upon her own unborn child, she made the most logical culprit.

But Rene wasn't going to meet her somewhere alone. Never again. If Rene had it her way, she would have gathered at least two or three of her friends to bring around. Merlin and Arthur would have been excellent companions. Or Wil, had she been available. Somebody who could have actually intimidated Morgana, at any rate.

Instead, Rene was approaching Morgana's table in the mess hall, people eating all around them. This way, should the other girl do something, people would actually witness it. Plus, there was the added bonus of possibly having a few friends in the crowd, or even people who would simply step in should some kind of conflict start.

Rene finally stopped before Morgana's table. She straightened up, forced a smile, and looked at Morgana.

"Hello, Morgana," she said. "How's your son?"

In all honesty, Morgana was getting more than a little sick of people who apparently knew her, people Morgana was pretty damn sure she'd never seen before in her life, coming over and asking her stupid questions. She was beginning to wonder if she had a secret twin, a twin that had already been at this school, that had fooled everyone into thinking it was her, even Kay and Arthur, and then left just in time for Morgana to arrive, completely unaware of everything. It was almost the only logical explanation Morgana could come up with.

And here she was again, trying to enjoy her lunch, alone, reading a spell book cleverly concealed inside a history book, just in case Arthur or Merlin walked past, and here again, was some girl she'd never met asking her stupid questions.

Morgana sighed, closing her book, putting her fork down and looking up at the girl with an eyebrow raised. "I'm sorry, what? Three questions. One: Who are you? Two: Who told you my name? Three: Did Kay put you up to this? Because you can assure him, if he is trying to push me to kill him, he's getting really, really close to getting his wish."

Spells. Magic. Mind mettling. It made life difficult for everyone, and apparently it had thrown yet another wrench into things. Why wouldn't Morgana's mind have been recently altered by magic, if Caz's was such a mess? It was enough to nearly make Rene scream.

"Cimorene, of the Mountains of Mist, dragon's assistant. I knew your name because you told me in the past; either that or I'm just that special. And I'd sooner transform Kay into the prancing, dancing goat-man that he is than work with him," replied Rene, all glib, all in one breath, and with a smile on her face the entire time. easy to be glib when the person you thought just might kill you, or at least inflict some serious bodily harm, was instead completely confused about your entire existence. This really only left one very big problem dangling in the air, one that worried Rene tremendously, though she wasn't sure how to address it.

"We met before; some magic has happened and rearranged things, and I'm busy playing catchup," explained Rene. clearly she was one to edge someone along in her crazy ideas and magic-manipulated past. "In that past, you were about to be married and had a son. One that you'd aged with magic. Your ex-lover is currently about, oh, half the age he was when I knew him. You can see why I'd draw my conclusion."

And Rene paused, eyebrows raised in challenge. She had to catch Morgana off guard if she was to have any chance in hell of getting the information she actually needed.

Raising an eyebrow at the girl's reaction to the suggestion she was working with her brother, Morgana couldn't help but smirk. "Well, at least we're agreed on one thing..." She muttered, turning her attention back to her book. She really didn't have the energy to listen to more idiots telling her she had had a child with Cazaril. She'd had enough. She closed her book with a sigh.

"Look. I don't know you. We have never met. I have only been here for a few days. I have not had a child, and the only Cazaril I know was my tutor when I was a child. I can assure you, I have not been in a relationship with him. In fact, I haven't seen him since I was about 15 years old. So whoever you think you are, and whatever you think you know about my life, you can tell Kay that his joke wasn't funny to begin with, and getting creeps like you involved doesn't make it any funnier."

She opened her book again. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to finish my lunch in peace."
