Prologue:
Uther was frantic. His wife had just gone into labour with his second child. Why was he so nervous? She was in the best hands. Young Arthur sat kicking his feet, looking bored- with the 7 year old ward of the king and queen, Morgana, falling asleep on his shoulder. Suddenly his mother's screams were replaced with baby cries. Gaius came out, looking grim as he walked over to the king.
"Sire, the queen is dead," He said quietly so the prince and ward wouldn't hear him. He didn't want to tell them they had lost their mother figure.
"No! There must be something you can do, please Gaius," The kings voice cracked with every word he said. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Nimueh had promised a life for a life but last time it was his father in law so why did it have to be his wife this time?
"There is nothing I can do but the child lives. Ygraine named her Elizabeth and she has magic," Magic? Magic? No, no, NO! The very thing that had taken his wife off the face of the earth!
Uther felt a slight jab on the side and looked down to see his son and ward. "Is mother okay? Father, what about my brother or sister? Are they okay? Can I see them, please?" Arthur asked his father with clear concern in his voice while Morgana beside him looked scared.
"Children," he sighed. This was going to be hard. "Your mother is dead."
"W-what about our new little sister or brother?" Morgana asked. She was the only one out of the two that could speak as Arthur was trying to be as strong as a knight but couldn't.
"She wasn't strong enough," Uther answered, emotionless. At that Morgana and Arthur both gripped onto him as if their lives depended on it.
After a lot of crying, the children had fallen asleep so Uther and Gaius put them to bed. Once the kids were out of the way, Gaius spoke up.
"Sire, why did you lie?" He asked, confused as to why he would lie to the children about their little sister.
"Get the girl out of the kingdom. I don't want her to know she is royalty. Make sure she is out the kingdom do you understand me?" He growled with venom in his voice.
"Why will she have to be out of the kingdom?" Gaius was still confused why the king didn't want his daughter. She was a beautiful, healthy baby girl.
"You know the laws. if she comes here and is found out, I will have to execute her. Get her somewhere she will be loved and cared for, where she won't come anywhere near Camelot. Do you understand me?"
Gaius nodded. He would say that he was visiting a friend and leave the child somewhere she would be found.
That next day Gaius set out with young princess in a basket beside him, riding to the outskirts of Cenred's kingdom.
After a day and a half of riding, he reached a village near a forest. He carefully placed the the two day old baby down and wrote a note.
My name is Elizabeth. I am two days old. Please look after me?
