[ she had left merlin to deal with the things her brother had managed, had gone to the citadel once and then again to look around and try to think what she might do with the place. the woman of asgard were not village women, they were warriors in part. but in part, they were ladies and learned-women. if she can teach them to fight then why not.

but the longer she sits in her room and thinks of it the more something begins to form in her mind and by the time it finally sets in, she knows what she must do. she ought to address the city formally and yet she thinks they might see (the lines of worry, the signs of heartbreak); and so so conceals the pain behind a text. ]

People of Asgard, I hope this finds you well.

I will not speak to you of the departure of my brother, for Merlin had spoken of it and has addressed all that must have been addressed. I do not come to you with offers of employment nor with announcements of any sorts for I know you have heard those already.

I come to you as my brother's sister and the last Pendragon to still linger within the borders of Asgard. We were three once, you might remember. There was the king, my brother Arthur who was King of Camelot after him and myself.

My brother held no formal alliances in this land, he had no sworn knights that I know of, no wards that I heard word of. Yet I know, as I have known Arthur for many years, that he has sought to help all those he met and in doing so, I am certain he had aided many in the city. There are many who would miss him nearly as much as I.

For those who my brother had sought to help, for those he held in his favor, I offer the same. I cannot retrieve my brother from his duties in Camelot. I can, however, as the last Pendragon in Asgard, keep true to his efforts and offer my favor to all those he had before his departure. If you require my aid, my comfort or my favor, you may address me and I shall do my best to offer you the same my brother would have. I know he would have wanted as much, I do not mean to fail him.


I would be very grateful if you shall seek me if the need arises. I can be found in the Citadel or at Thor District. If the Gods of Asgard are reading these words; on behalf of my brother, I offer sympathies for the slumber of Odin and I offer my aid to Thor who now rules in his place.

Morgana of house Pendragon;
Lady of Camelot

if your brother is a king, how are you just a lady?

[She didn't know Arthur, but she likes Merlin well enough. Ygritte doesn't presume to know how royalties work. Mance was only king in name, because someone had to unite their people.]

[conquering]

I call my brother because he had never treated me as less. Yet he is only my half-brother if one looks upon blood. I suppose I ought to be grateful,

[ sarcasm ahoy. ]

That his father had made this bastard girl a lady. I was never crowned a princess. I do not doubt Arthur would have let me but I never cared much for it.

[Given their last conversation, Harry knows full well that any reply he makes will be antagonistic. And he knows that for that reason, he shouldn't.

And yet ...]

And if I was someone that Arthur sought to help, what would you make of that?

You speak very differently from how you did before.

[ arthur spoken much of what it means to be a king and morgana had scoffed and conquered and hurt and burned. but that is camelot and in asgard, she had learned different lessons. she looks at the message for a long time, thinks of the woman who would snarl and lash and shifts herself into the woman that she wants to be now.

(don't slip. don't stumble, it's a soft reminder in the back of her mind in the voice of Arthur) ]

You and I had our many disagreements, Harry Potter and perhaps we are fated to be at odds regarding some matters. At the same time, that will never stop me from offering you help if you shall ever seek it from me. For many years I have let many things stand in the way of me and those I cared for, Arthur included. I do not wish for any more animosity, I had enough in Camelot. Whatever disagreements we had between us, my love for Arthur is stronger. Know that, at least. If you ever wish for me, I shall offer you whatever aid you will need.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Funny how they only really manage to get us with the stuff they can't control, huh.

[A random vision, meant as a gift, made him doubt Magneto. Thiazi's attacks made him doubt his war against the gods and then himself as a mutant. And now, being the last one left - like her - oh, that's made him doubt everything.]

[text | private]

[conquering]

That is the greatest irony of all, isn't it? I do not know what it is that they can control these days. Since Odin has fallen, they are at loss, it would seem. I do not fault them. In a way, I am the same in the absence of Arthur.

[dyingisnotdead]

Can you please not help everyone your brother helped.

[conquering]

Why would you ask that of me, Sir Loras? Is there one who was in my brother's favor and is not in yours?

[Text]

[madcuriosity]

You're incredibly kind to offer such a thing, Lady Morgana.

[Text]

[conquering]

It is my duty, Alice Liddell. I know that in his absence, Arthur would have wanted those he cared for - the people of Asgard to not be without aid if they would need it. I oft thought he knew nearly everyone in the city. I hope to do the same in his name.

I know I might not know him as well as everybody else but he seemed like a good guy
And Im sorry for your loss

I think I covered that at the "party" but if you need a friend for company Im here
All youve got to do is call

[conquering]

I think he would have appreciated you greatly, Dean. But you have my favor even if you never had his own.

I think I would care for company. This house is much more quiet than it once was.

[Mostly because she dislikes the text function Leeloo uses her video. She looks upset, reasonably so, she was close to Arthur and she knew his father. So the mention is not lost on her.]

Forgive me, your words. I do not think I have heard that tongue spoken in these parts before.

[girlskickass]

I knew him.
Haven't made contact this time around, but I know he's a good person.
How's Merlin doing?

How are YOU doing?

text.

[conquering]

Merlin is doing all he can and in a way I am the same. Arthur's loss is very felt both by him and by me. We are all that is left from those of Camelot. At the same time, we have each other. That is a comfort.

[He uses this only because he's at the hospital working right now.]

He would be proud of you. I know I am.

[Everything else can wait until they're face to face again.]

[conquering]

[ he uses voice but she allows him to see her; in her blue silks and long braid and a small smile that speaks of fondness and a certain level of uncertainty that is rare for Morgana. ]

You know I could not do this without you, Merlin. I could never.

[Video | Private]

[comeonthensexy]

Look at you.

[ Maybe the wording is something an adult would say to a child they think is behaving well, or something along that line. It's the Doctor's way of saying he's proud too, like Merlin. His way of saying look at you, fighting back your demons and being the best you can be. Because when one loses something that has been one's world, it is so easy to resort to resentment. He's done it plenty.

And he knows Morgana is more than capable of doing the same. Has done the same. Yet here she is, turning it around into something else. Into an offer of reconciliation. And it is incredible. ]

[Video | Private]

[conquering]

[ she'll go with the video because - well, she's just so happy to hear him sounding like himself again. she's in one of her oldest gowns, blue silk and hair braided and perhaps she looks a bit younger than she feels but she's smiling and it's genuine. ]

You remember now.

[smartwinchester]

Asgard is lucky to have you, Lady Morgana.

[It's said quite simply, but with a lot of warmth.

Good job.]

( video. )

[conquering]

[ she switches to video so he could see her smile. one thing she never expected to hear. ]

Asgard was fortunate enough to have Arthur. I wanted to come in his place in Camelot. Now - I am less thrilled. But I will do as he wanted me to.

[ there is always that weird balance when it comes to jo. somewhere to sit between saying enough and leaving things unsaid, but understood. but with arthur leaving, it seems to have left a hole in a lot more of them than she realized, and eventually she comes to a very basic, but fairly important conclusion.

why the hell not. ]

you're still family, you know

text. private.

[conquering]

And you to me, Jo. I do not forget, neither must you. Come see us, I know Merlin would be quite happy to see you as well.

[extraordinarie]

Lady Morgana, my name's Kate Beckett and I knew your brother while he was here - worked with him, at least - and I wanted to extend this same offer back to you.

I might not be a Pendragon, but if you need anything at all, you're not alone in this city. Anything but.

text.

[conquering]

It is a pleasure, Kate Beckett. Thank you for helping my brother and more than that, thank you for offering the same to me. Have you worked with him regarding the Guard or the Citadel?

[motherofwinter]

My lady, you seem very gracious. If I may introduce myself, I am Lady Catelyn Stark of Winterfell. I have heard nothing but good things of your brother, I am saddened that I never had the opportunity to meet with him.

[ there, she's being diplomatic.]

[conquering]

Lady Stark.

[ she curtsies and it feels like Camelot all over again, she feels young and old, the queen she never was with the girl she used to be. ]

My brother spoke well of your family. I know he has known your son Robb. I am certain he would have been honored to meet you. I welcome you to Asgard in his name. He was fond of your family, I would offer you the same kindness. If you or yours need me, I would assist in any way possible. Tell me, how do you find our city?
