angst timeee
Do you even know the meaning of your own story?
Duncan got that scarf for her. They were only a few days on the road and she was being so brave, quiet and collected right until they met an elven mother on the run and it all just came breaking down. She tried to give the woman the rest of her wedding money/savings, she refused, Revna started crying for the first time since alienage and Duncan took over. Persuaded the woman to "sell" her scarf for his money instead. He gave it to Revna with a whole fatherly speech about how her life isn't ending and how she needs to save that money to take care of herself because she's here with a purpose
And then Duncan died. And she lived
With a purpose, still
I threw together a few sketches of my canon warden I love her so much you have no idea
I'm going to make something with all three of them together I don't know what but I will as soon as I'm free from uni for the summer
They're my favourite telenova honestly
And here are the plot thoughts so far
Like I said, Kilgharrah is magical, well-informed and well-connected. The concern towards magic grows, the incidents get bigger, so a major counteroperation begins under top secrecy. Along with it, the army signs their so far longest contract with Avalon12 — they get constant assignments to seemingly random missions that have an underlying motive; to eliminate and destroy the magical threat without disclosing information. The squad gets new efficient training and the most important weapon — Merlin
Their dynamic is similar to the show. Kilgharrah reveals himself to Merlin and explains his transfer. Now, Merlin has to, somehow, lead 12 killing machines of soldiers to clean up sites of magical experiments gone wrong (this is where the horror creatures come in) and eliminate sorcerers that are preparing a magical war and armageddon, all that without exactly letting them know what's happening before shit absolutely hits the fan and no other way is left. (Which doesn't really work out for long)
I'm also thinking about keeping Morgana as a sort of antagonist/antihero, who discovers her own magic, in her desire to ruin Uther's business, makes a deal with the magicals. That comes back, biting her in the ass and she ends up having to choose between ensuring Gwen's or Arthur's safety. She chooses Gwen
