Chapter 1: Arthur
I couldn't see for a moment's second. The cloud of smoke circled around all of us: Gwen, Lancelot, Gawain, Merlin, and me. If I didn't do something soon, I would lose everything I had ever dreamt of. Morgana was gaining the upper hand in this fight. Swallowing the last of my pride I ran towards the slightest hint of a human form I could find. The Lord was with me at that moment when I ran into Morgana. Her blue eyes looked directly into mine and she knew I was alone. Lifting her pale white hand up above her head she said three magic words that sent me falling backwards. Merlin caught me by my shoulders and struggled to hold me up with all of his might.
"Are you okay, Sire?" he asked.
Another blast of magic came straight at us. We both fell backwards into the concrete floor beneath us. I sat up slowly with a loud ringing noise in my ears, my vision blurred, and Merlin pulling me to my feet.
"Come on. She's getting away!"
As Merlin helped me to my feet, he began to run towards Morgana. I never thought Merlin to be one so intent on putting himself in harm's way. Every time I've ever seen Merlin in a fight, he backed away cowardly. I pushed myself forward and lifted my sword high enough to strike Morgana down.
It's strange to say, but I still care for her. I know that it's her fault for my father's death, but she is my sister; half-sister to be precise. I took one last look at her before she jumped backwards into a huge blue sphere forming behind her. I don't know quite how to put it, but I think she was traveling to another point in the world. I should have seen it coming. She was going to collapse the building down on top of us and I was going to lose Gwen and my knights.
The blue sphere grew in size and started to envelop everyone in sight. I tried to pull myself backwards, but the wind was pulling too hard. The loud rushing sound coming from it drained me of my energy and the last thing I saw before being swallowed whole as Merlin ran towards me, his hands outstretched to pull me away...
