A white horse galloped throughout the forest,dodging tress and fallen logs. A green cloak flowed behind it's rider. Dark brown locks flew behind as well as the rider, a woman with bright green eyes urged her horse forward towards her destination. The sword strapped to her belt told that she was a fighter and could handle herself against any foe. Emerging from the forest they stood on a hill. The rider slowed her to a stop and looked out at her destination ... Camelot.

She got off her horse 'I'll see you later girl' she said before leaving. She walked into the bustling streets of Camelot, the town before the castle. She looked around noticing stalls and shops and regular people going about with their everyday lives. All without a care in the world, how she wished to be like them but no she had a destiny, although she didn't know what it was she had been told a million times over. It was the reason why she was in Camelot, to figure out what her destiny really was.

A scream shocked the girl back into reality and she looked to see a man holding a knife to a young girls throat. She had black hair that was short and brown eyes along with slightly darker skin. The girl moved her hand to her sword and went to go help.

Merlin watched fearful as Gwen stood still as the stranger held the knife to her throat. He wanted to help or call for a guard or even Arthur but before he could he noticed someone. It was a girl a bit younger then me.

'Let her go' she spoke to the stranger who merely laughed.

'And what are you going to do if I don't girly' the man sneered.

The girl unsheathed her sword and pointed it at the man. 'I can do a lot trust me' the stranger glared at her before shoving Gwen to the ground and pulling out his own sword.

Gwen quickly moved out of the way and stood by me 'are you alright?' Merlin asks and she nods, still in to much shock to speak.

'Go get Arthur' he orders and she nods before running to the castle.

Merlin turned his attention back to what was happening. The girl stood there waiting and the man made the first move. He lunged at her but she merely stepped to the side. The man turned back around eyes blazing now and attacked at her full force. The girl held her own and blocked every single one of his blows.

It was then Merlin noticed another man appear behind the fight a sword in his own hand and a mad look in his eye.

He raised his sword to attack the girl 'look out!' Merlin yelled to warn her. She ducked down and the mans sword swung over her head. She stood back up and was faced by the men.

'Oh come on two on one that isn't very fair' she said but the men merely grinned her.

She quickly attacked one after the other, at lightning speed, the men merely being able to block in time. She kicked one of the men's legs from underneath him, resulting in him crashing to the ground. She turned on the other man and attacked before pushing him backwards.

It was then merlin noticed her eyes flash gold for a quick second and in the next second the man she pushed tripped on air and went crashing into a nearby stone wall, effectively knocking him out cold.

She has magic?

Merlin looked around to see if anyone else had noticed but none had. His head was reeling, if she has magic, why is she in Camelot?

The other man had stood up and yelled in fury when he saw him companion on the ground he attacked the girl and she dodged and blocked all his blows. Merlin kept his eyes on her but didn't see any magic being used. She was fighting of pure skill.

The man had knocked her sword out of her hand and out of her reach. He raised his sword but she quickly rolled out of the way before turning and kicking the man in the back sending him straight into the same wall as the other one, unconscious.

The crowd that had gathered to watch cheered. It was then Merlin noticed Arthur and two of his knights standing there, shock in their eyes as they looked at the girl, who was collecting her sword and sheathing it once more. Who is she?

The woman checked herself over for any cuts when the fight was over but only noticed one on her arm that wasn't quite deep so she didn't worry to much.

Gwen walked up to the girl, 'Thank you for saving me. Don't know what would of happened if you weren't here'

'Guess I was just in the right place at the right time' The woman responded and she nodded. 'I

'I'm Gwen' she said and The woman nodded.

'kara' She spoke and Gwen smiled

'Well thank you kara. Your skill is very impressive' she added yet before Kara could respond another voice spoke up.

'Yes impressive indeed' Kara looked to see a man there, with blonde hair and bright blue eyes.

'I do wonder where you learnt that skill?' He asked.

'Been learning since I was young sire' she spoke and prince Arthur nodded

'right well thank you for your efforts and for saving Guinevere's life but we'll take care of it from here'

'Only to help sire' Kara says, bowing before walking away leaving him to 'take care of it'.

Kara noticed a man standing there watching her at that moment. He had black hair and blue eyes that were watching me.

"Can I help you?' She asked and he looked at here

'Not here' was all he said before grabbing Her arm.

'Hey!' She protested but He pulled her along to the castle and through to a room of sorts that looked between a kitchen, library and infirmary all at once.

'You have magic' he stated and her eyes widened before She shrugged it off.

'Me magic? Ha that's a good joke' She said laughing but he kept on staring at her.

'I saw you, you used it to trip that man. Your eyes turned gold'

'Must of been the trick of the light' She lied trying to convince him that She didn't have magic. After all Kara didn't want him running to the king.

'Its ok your secrets safe with me' he said almost reading her thoughts.

'I don't even know your name' She said.

'Oh right I'm merlin'

'Well Merlin I'm Kara, now I do wonder why on earth should you keep a secret of mine that could so very have me excited on the spot' Kara asked.

'Cause I know how you feel' he said '

'You have magic?' She asked curious and with furrowed eyebrows.

'Yes' Merlin whispers quietly.

'Right, well that's settled then, you keep my secret and I keep yours and neither of us will die at the hands of the King' Kara spoke before smiling 'we'll if you'll excuse me I have to go find somewhere to camp tonight'

'You don't have a place to stay?'

'No but that is what happens when your new in town' Kara protested.

'You can stay with me' Merlin said quickly and she raised her eyebrows curious.

'Your very interesting Merlin, offering a complete stranger your home'

'Well ...' He said but trailed Kara laughed slightly

'I'll take you up on that offer though' she nodded.

'Really great'

Merlin set up a bed for Kara and She removed her bag and cloak. Merlin came back into the room with Gwen by his side and she saw something in her arms that made kara's eyes widen.

'Oh no, no dresses I refuse' She says shaking head head standing up.

'Look it's just so you fit in kara' Merlin protested

'What is wrong with what I've got on now' she says looking down at her black trousers and a green corset with white lace trimmings along with brown boots.

'Nothing it's just uther might get suspicious if there's a stranger walking around the castle'

Kara sighed before grabbing the dress from Gwen's arms and disappeared into Merlin's room, slamming the door.

She got changed into the dress, it had a white short sleeve shirt with a cream coloured corset and then flowed into a baby blue skirt. Kara exited Merlin's room, moving my hair into a side plait.

'Happy now?' She asks and they both nod. Kara sigh and rolling her eyes.

'I hate dresses' she speaks sitting into a wooden chair. Merlin and Gwen both laugh at her pout
