Chapter 68 - Chapter 64

Harry gave another heavy sigh as he closed his eyes before turning to Fury. "You'll know tomorrow. I need to think about it. What was your third question?"

"Is she the same Morgan le Fay from the legends?" Fury asked, pointing to Morgan who looked somewhat offended.

"She is. She awoke recently and came to me at once. Apparently, she put herself in stasis, allowing her to, in a sense, time travel to the future. She… isn't happy that our people are on the verge of extinction," Harry explained.

"Why would she do that? What are her goals?" Fury asked.

"Merlin had me cornered," Morgan said in a cold voice. "He may have been the greatest wizard of my time, but he was also a fool. He thought co-existing with your kind would bring our people peace. I warned him that your kind did not want peace with ours. We had many arguments and fights over what our course should be. When he cornered me, he was planning on making a public spectacle to bend our people to that King Arthur. I used a forbidden spell to hide myself in time. It was the only escape I had at the time."

"King Arthur was real? Legend says he was a great king."

"A great king who listened to poor advice. Many nobles and knights wanted my people to submit themselves to your rule as Merlin did. I stuck true to my people's ways and embraced the freedom to choose my own path. Though Morgana the Fallen witch creating problems for our people didn't help."

"Wait, there were two…" Fury asked with a start.

"You seem surprised. Almost as surprised as Harry was when I told him. Yes, my name has apparently been attached to that witch's deeds. I even heard people believe I was Arthur Pendragon's half-sister."

"Are you?"

"No. I have no relation to that man. I was once Merlin's apprentice. I studied and learned under him, but I didn't agree with him on everything. Eventually, I left, seeking haven in the Mists of Avalon. It was the only real sanctuary for my people. However, Morgana fell into the Dark Arts and was trying to destroy both our culture and, in a sense, the world. She was Merlin's most dangerous enemy. Because of my history with Merlin, the fights we had, Arthur wanted to make me an example of his power. I was beaten and knew my only escape would be to trap myself in stasis. There I would be safe, even from Merlin."

"Why did you wait so long to break free? It's been nearly what? Fifteen hundred years?" Fury asked.

"It was forbidden. Time stasis had been for many years even before my own time; time was something we were taught was never to be tampered with, as once you go in, there is no guarantee you can come out. In hindsight, you literally become trapped inside time itself: forever trapped in that single moment, unable to move forward. It takes a lot of magic to break it. It was only last week when I felt a massive power surge. I began to tap into it to break myself out of my stasis."

"Apparently when Thor gave me some of his power she was able to tap into it. She borrowed our power to save herself. In a sense, I help break her free from her prison," Harry elaborated.

"So she's your responsibility," Fury said slowly.

"Apparently so," Harry replied with a yawn. "Is that all you want to know?"

"Let me ask one more thing," Fury said.

"Ask," Harry said.

"Why do you want to save the world?"

Harry paused as he took in the question. He sighed as he leaned forward, on the verge of falling asleep. "I don't want to get into my personal history. However, I have… suffered before. For a long time, actually. In truth, I don't want to see others suffer as I have suffered. I guess I want to make the world a better place."

"You will find S.H.I.E.L.D. will support you. I'll make sure the President understands your concerns and urge him to put forward protection acts for magical beings. This is for you as well as to make sure that Thor doesn't carry out his threat. In the meantime, get some rest. I'll keep in touch," Fury said as he turned and walked out of the room.

The moment Fury closed the door, Morgan turned to Harry.

"It dangerous, mingling with Muggles. They could be our allies today but our enemies tomorrow," she said in a soft voice.

"I know. I know," Harry replied, understanding her fear.

"What will you do?" Morgan asked.
