Chapter Text
"Are you sure you want to go down there", Morgana pleaded again in spite of knowing that it was time now to let Jason go. Morgana shot another look of loathing at the submarine. The fact that the gods had decided that it was time now for Jason to return to his home city of Atlantis didn't make the thought any easier to swallow.
"It's not a matter of want it's a matter of what I need to do. Besides nobody can escape their destiny, you taught me that mother", Jason said with a sad smile as he embraced his mother for the last time. And that thought hurt for the pair of them.
"You could come with me", Jason's voice is a curious mixture of hestiant and hopeful at the thought of his mother coming to Atlantis with him, as Jason was sure Morgana would thrive better in medieval world than the modern day world. Morgana gives Jason another bitter and sad smile at the thought of coming with Jason.
"You know my destiny lies in this world and you must walk the path to another world now without my guidance. I just hope you remember all of my many lessons", Morgana said as she embraced her son again, the knowledge that this would be the last time they would see each other was a painful thought.
"Mother how could I ever forget your many lessons, I doubt I will ever forget you", Jason whispered as he recalled the many hours of magic, sword fighting, politics and dances his mother had taught him so one day he would be able to become the greatest King Atlantis has ever seen. The only painful part would be knowing that he was leaving his mother to go to another world. Part of Jason is bitter that he has to go to another world and save the people there. The fact that he has known about his destiny for years doesn't make saying goodbye any easier.
"Besides the time of Avalon is rising again soon, and soon one day I will get to see all the people who are the last life I hurt and hopefully this time I will be able to make amends with them," Morgana said with a hopeful smile, as she recalls the many lessons the boy in front of her had taught her. Love compassion, brave and hope all emotions that for years she had tried to turn off, or deny she had. Hopefully, she will be able to show all she has learned, off the next time, she has seen her brother and Merlin once again as the triple goddess had told her that all the people of the Arthurian legends had been reincarnated soon.
"You just take care of yourself and don't do anything stupid", Morgana orders her son as worry grips her heart at the thought of her brave reckless son doing something stupidly heroic without her help to get him out of some mess.
Jason blushes as his curly hair wafts in the wind, and says with a teasing grin "Mother have some faith in me and my abilities. Besides with all the things you have taught me how could I not do anything stupid"
"Because I know you, now have you got everything to take with you", Morgana asked again, worried that some sword or useful spellbook hadn't been packed for the journey.
"Mother I have ever thing", Jason's voice is sad now.
"I just want to say before I go that I love you and that I want to say thank you for everything you have done for me", Jason said with a final hug and kiss.
"I love you to son", Morgana said tearfully as she watched as Jason walked away from her for the last time.
Then the submarine lowered itself down into the cold waters and Jason with one final wave is gone.
