Morgana: (Holding tiny, BabyWalt while 5yo Mordred clings to her skirts). Everyone, i would like you all to meet Stricklander.
Mordred: (Jumping around) He’s my new brover!
The court ladies and a handful of knights, including Arthur and Gwen: Aw!
Gwen: He’s absolutely adorable, Morgana!
Random Lady: Oh. My. Gosh! Does he have tiny wings?!
Morgana: (Proudly) Yes he does. I swear, he’s going to be so handsome when he grows up he’ll have everyone falling for him.
Arther: (Jokingly) Is that a prediction or a promise, ‘Gana?
Crowd: (Laugh)
Morgana: (Rolls her eyes) You're SO hilarious, Arther.
Random Knight: May I hold him, Lady Morgana?
Morgana: You may. (Carefully hands BabyWalt to Rando Knight) Mind his head. He is a BABY troll after all.
Mordred: And don't dwap my brover!
Random Knight: Oh! I wasn’t expecting him to be so warm.
Crowd: (More Laughing)
You Know Who: How the Hell are you all so ok with this?!
Crowd: (Turn and stare at Merlin)
Arther: What are you talking about, Merlin?
Merlin: How can you all not see that that thing is an abomination? They're not even the same species!
Morgana: (Angry) His name is Stricklander, Merlin.
Arther: Yeah. And my sister is called ‘Mother of Monsters’ for a reason.
BabyWalt: WHAA!
Morgana: (Taking BabyWalt back from the now nervous Knight) Now see you did, Merlin! Come on, Sweeties. Let’s go to the orchards. The apple trees should be in bloom.
(In the orchards)
Mordred: (Crying) Mama, why is Uncle Merlin being so mean to Strickler?
Morgana: Because sometimes people can get like that when they don't know what to say or do.
Mordred: (Pouting) Thats stupid.
Morgana: (Nodding) Yes it is, Mordred. Yes it is.
AN: This is meant to take place before Morgana goes evil. Or before Merlin starts turning everyone against her. Whichever theory you prefer.
Also, I kinda ignored everything about how people really felt about Mordred. I just wanted to write a cute Momgana story... and bash on Merlin while I was at it.
