The Eyes Of Gwen
Characters: Gwen, Morgana, Gaius
Summary: Set in the episode Eye of the Phoenix and it involves Gwen finding out about Morgana's magic. I thought this was quite important as it was the first time a non magic person found out that Morgana possessed magic. It was really annoying that the show did not make any particular fuss about it, and kind of forgot about it by the next episode.
Gwen could no longer kid herself about Morgana, she knew that now. All of a sudden the truth was as clear as the day. As she carefully made her way out of Morgana's chambers, her heart was racing at high speed. From the moment she'd taken the decision to hide in the wardrobe, she knew that somehow life would not be the same again for her.
She had known for sometime that she and Morgana had grown apart. At first it had been only little things. Less small talk between them, the days when they would gossip had long since disappeared. But there where other things too that Gwen had noticed. Morgana had snapped at her more than once recently, she seemed to be extremely angry in some way.
Gwen had considered attempting to talk to her, but there seemed to be so much distance between them, she hesitated. Something in her mind worried Gwen, it was as if there was a barrier there now. She really wanted to be able to help her old friend, but she no longer knew how too. She wasn't sure how Morgana would react to it, and besides which there was a growing feeling of doubt, creeping into Gwen's mind, about Morgana's loyalty to Camelot.
In truth the warning signs had been there for some time. But now the clues where becoming thick and fast and Gwen could no longer ignore them. As if coming face to face with Morgause hadn't shocked Gwen enough, there was now the incident with the mysterious box Gwen had seen Morgana with. It was this that had finally made Gwen's mind up, that she had to investigate further.
So having been given a day off by Morgana (another strange clue), she had decided to hide in the wardrobe that evening and watch Morgana. What she had seen had truly shocked her. Her mistress, her old friend had indeed used magic. As she stood there quietly and watched Morgana's eyes light gold, it was all Gwen could do not to cry out. What was she to do she wondered? Who could she tell? What did it mean for them all?
Gwen had gone running to Gaius and told him of what she'd seen. Gwen knowing Gaius all too well, was aware that he would try and deny it. But Gwen was determined the truth had to be faced, pretending it was a lie when they both knew it wasn't, would help no one. So she had stood her ground, when Gaius had tried to calm her.
