User blog comment:Merlinfan/A sword forged in a dragon's breath?/@comment-4892425-20121216132617

Morgana is getting a little to overconfident here. She thinks because she's a high priestess and she has a dragon she'll win the day. I think her overconfidence hides her cowardice. Why does she knocked out Merlin's powers. Simple:  she's afraid of the prophesy on her at the hands of Emyrs and she can take out forces that she thinks that are no match for her if he's disabled. If she's such a badass she would willingly face Emyrs head on, mano a mano, on a level magical playing field. No Morgana only believes in stacking the deck (or dealing from the bottom of it) in order to win. That's been her M.O. all along. Watch her throw another hissy fit when Merlin/Emyrs comes back fully restored to take her on.

As for Aithusa - doesn't Morgana know there's another dragon out there (Kilgarrah)? Doesn't she remember the dragon that took out her Southrons in 4 x 13? Aithusa was a hatchling when Morgana first saw her and Aithusa certainly didn't have the fire power to do that damage. (And people say Arthur is the dumb Pendragon.)  The point is, Aithusa is still a baby; Kilgarrah is a fully grown dragon. Even aging and with a broken wing, Kilgarrah is still more powerful (Kilgarrah can still fly with a broken wing; Aithusa couldn't.)  I wouldn't be so sure about the sword forged by Aithusa's dragon fire; it may not hold up against Kilgarrah's Excalibur. (Why does Morgana have a choke collar on Aithusa?). I think one of the legends says the red dragon (Kilgarrah?) defeats the white dragon. Another hissy fit from Morgana.
