Hey Everyone! So I have recently started watching Merlin (I'm on season 5 now) and I have fallen in love with it. So as I was watching it, I started thinking and hence this story came out. Many of you may ask why now? Why add a new story when I still haven't finished writing my other stories. There is a simple explanation. Well technically two. First, I'm in college I have almost no time between my work and studying for my classes. Two, I have extreme writers block. I WILL Continue them. I promise. I just have to find time. Probably over winter break. Anyway here is the new story. Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER:

I own nothing. I am not that great of a screenwriter yet. I haven't written anything amazing as the writers for BBC/Merlin have. The characters etc belong to them.

The streets of Camelot were filled with life. Children ran playing and laughing while mothers watched doing their daily errands. Men worked towards earning a wage to help support their families. The merchants were trying to convince the people to buy their wares. People of all kinds of classes on the street and interacting with on another gave the city liveliness. To anyone this would be an example of a perfect kingdom. But for a girl like Fauna, knowing who and what she was, the city consumed her with both excitement and nervousness.

Fauna wasn't like everyone else. Since she was little, she knew she was different from all the other children.

This was why she walked staring at the ground below her, trying not attract attention to herself. Keeping her head covered by a cloak, she carefully made her way towards the home that her late mother had purchased for this point in her life.

The home was old and a bit run down, but considering her needs it was the perfect place to reside. It was that then standing in front of her new home that she finally let down the hood covering her face revealing the soft dark brown hair and dark green eyes that mesmerized everyone that met her. Were it not for her beauty and for her strange eyes – as they held a slight tint of gold - she might have been able to fit in. But as her beauty was part of who she was, once again like in many cities before Camelot, she began to hear the whispers from the people who might condone her to death would they have known the truth.

Fauna looked towards them trying to control the feelings of embarrassment and loneliness as she watched the neighbors begin to gossip about her beginnings. Curiously, they watched her with judgment in their tones as they spoke about her as if she was invisible.

Who do you think she is?

Is she without a husband?

Where do you think she comes from?

The questions would go on but many of them would never be answered. Fauna was never one to get close to the people where she lived. She preferred to live away from the people who could harm her were they to know her secret. Occasionally, she would make a friend but that was rare. In other cities people saw her as an intruder and they were willing to tear her down before anyone became her friend. Sadly, she smiled towards them knowing that this was the cycle of her life. Without further delay she entered the home trying to leave the whispers of the city behind.

So what do you think? Review?
