In a land of myth and a time of magic…
In a land of myth and a time of magic, there was a girl. A girl that supposedly had everything: wealth, friends and a loving father figure.
She didn't care about the first. She would gladly give it all away if it meant she could just be someone else, to make the dreams go away, to not ignite things with only her mind.
Her friends did not know her for who she really was. Arthur and Gwen were too distracted with their blossoming romance to notice much of anything that was going on with her.
Once she would have thought of Merlin, but these days the boy could hardly be counted among her friends. Once, she had thought of him as the one she could truly trust, the one who knew about her magic and loved her anyway. If it was up to him she would long be dead.
Just as Uther, her loving father, would have her burnt at the stake without so much as a second thought, if he ever found out she was a sorceress.
Finally, there was Morgause, the sister she hadn't known she had. She loved her dearly, but Morgana wasn't stupid. She knew Morgause was using her and sometimes, when she dared to think about it, she wasn't sure her sister would not sacrifice her for her cause should it ever come down to it.
In a land of myth and a time of magic, there was a girl and she was all alone.
