Chapter One

He ran to the king, his eyes wide but full of hatred and anger. "Sire," he said in a whining tone. "I have grand news."

The king looked at his wife and raised an eyebrow. "What is it Rupert?" He questioned sharply.

"Sorcery," he said a snarl on his face. "Sorcery King Uther and Queen Katrina."

Uther rose to his feet sharply. "Sorcery?" He questioned sharply hate in his cold eyes. "Are you sure?"

Rupert nodded eagerly. "Yes milord, druids close to your kingdom. I was able to mingle with them and I got some information," he rubbed his hands together, oh Rupert was going to get his money alright. "They speak of Emrys, they say that his time is coming. They also speak of the Once and Future King, who will unite with Emrys to bring back magic and unite the lands of Albion."

Uther's face twisted in fury then he looked at Rupert. "Thank you Rupert."

Rupert looked at the king hopefully. "Sire?" he asked.

Uther glared at him, "you want your money. Well, I'll only give you half pay. You did not tell me the identity of this… Once and Future King," he snarled it out. "Now go."

Rupert bowed clumsily and hastily retreated.

Uther sighed and sat down and he looked up as he saw his two wards and son. "What is it Morgana, Morgan, Henry?" He asked wearily.

"Father," Henry said arrogantly, "The Ladies Morgana, Morgan and I would like to ride out on our horses and try to locate this camp."

Uther noticed that Morgan nodded eagerly but Morgana looked sad. "What is it Morgana?" He asked gently.

Morgana sighed. "Nothing milord," she said.

Uther nodded satisfied and looked at Henry and he thought sadly about Arthur. "You have my permission but take Sir Leon and Olwen."

Henry nodded, "Yes Father," he said and turned and walked away.

Uther sighed and turned to Katrina, "Come along my dear," he said and held out his arm. Katrina smiled and took it and they exited the throne room.

Author's Note: Mwa ha ha ha ha! Although this is the prologue it can also be a sort-of first chapter. Whichever way you look at it. I'm gonna do chapter 2 which is set right after this :). I've got plans for this story… evil plans. *Evil Grin
