It was well into the morning where Morgana found herself walking through the forests outside of Camelot looking for herbs. More importantly the healing and protecting kind. When Morgana failed for the hundredth time to conquer Camelot and save it from her brother's clutches, she reflected on why. Of course, she already knew why and the reason behind it all was Emrys. So, she decided with her darling Aithusa to get things that would cleanse herself from the evil that Emrys implanted on her. Even though that would mean purifying the memories of her sister's death and when Merlin poisoned her, Aithusa thought it was worth the risk. Anything that would ensure that magic will be salvage sounded great to Morgana and here she is risking getting seen for some damn purifying herbs. Morgana peaked a little from underneath her hood to see a beautiful bunch of Salvia officinalis and begins to pick them carefully when she hears a twig snap behind her.
"Who's there?" She calls out and then draws out her dagger and whispers, "fleoge seax forb…"
She heard a gasp and a body abruptly stop before she turned around and gasp herself.
"Gwen?"
The young woman who used to be a loyal and trustworthy servant now stood in front of her in a green leather ranger type dress. It suited the petite woman quite well.
"Morgana?" The woman stared at her shock and ashamed. Morgana brought the dagger back to herself letting Gwen ease and slump down on the ground in an unladylike manner. Morgana assessed her before putting the herbs into her satchel and placing the dagger into her belt and sitting down beside her.
"What are you doing out here? Aren't you supposed to be getting married soon?" Gwen just shook her head before pulling out a mug and drinking out of it before passing it to Morgana.
"Nope. I like it out here where I can find people with magic and bring them to the border."
The border?
"What border?" Morgana turned towards her once best friend in shock and concern. She was concerned for her because Gwen was going against Arthur and all she stood for. She was shocked because the border was real and a place where her ideas could be welcome and flourished.
"The border between Albion and the Valley of the Kings that is right at the edge of the Great Seas of Meredor. I found it when I met the King of Albion, my husband Richard, while I was on the Black Pearl. I am here to help you, Morgana, if you will let me. The First Dragon, Azazel, has chosen a new fate for you that shows happiness and prosperity. You know, as long as I can see Aithusa."
So, this is just the starting point and I kinda wanted to leave a bit of a cliffhanger so I hope you all enjoy this. Have a nice day!
Remember to binge watch One Tree Hill and listen to great music like Evanescence. (God, I hope I spelled that right : ) )
