I can see but one path, sire / It's like nothing I've ever felt before…
#arthur went into that dark moon-lit room#and like his forefathers before him#was made to kneel at the foot of an empty throne and beg for enlightenment#for a promised prophecy#for trust that he could carry the pendragon lineage forward in a new age of steel and punishment#there was a ritual beforehand and a ceremony to christen his part to play in destiny#no illusions or magic— just the strongarmed belief that tradition would justify him too#in the same way#morgana had her own secret ritual#to prepare her to do the same— kneel before an empty throne and beg for forgiveness#for the mercy of the pendragon lineage carrying on beyond her and sans treachery#the ceremony was the same#no magic no gimmicks#just a promise that she would come back alive after trancending from herself#and seek out her own part to play#‘alone and unaided’#on the dark path of their shared destiny#..#i have more! thoughts about merlin&gwen being their respective preparers#and the fact that it was arthur seeking out visions on that day and morgana looking to ground herself in uther’s good graces#but i cant put it into words…#good grief the pendragon siblings
