Prologue

A young girl, of mere age 10, silently walked to the room of her father's precious ward shaking from one of her most recent nightmares that left her terrified. As the young girl neared the room, she quickened her pace for the darkness of night frightened her even more.

Upon arriving at the door, she knocked upon it hoping she'd be heard but upon receiving no reply, she knew she'd be welcomed in anyway, she silently opened the door a crack to peak inside. After glancing in, she pushed the door opened enough to enter, which wasn't much space for she was rather thin and sickly. She quickly ran over to the ward's bed before climbing up onto the bed and shaking the ward awake. The ward was quick to awaken, shooting up into a seated position as her eyes showed panic and quickly scanned the room before landing on the child making a smile appear on the young woman's face.

"Did you have another nightmare, Rhiannon?" The young woman asked the girl to which the girl nodded as she clung to the woman.

"I-it was horrible Morgana..." The young Rhiannon said to the woman as she shook with unshed tears thinking back on it.

"Do you wish to tell me about it? It might make you feel better..." Morgana said softly to the girl while rubbing soothing circles on Rhiannon's back.

"T-the dream started out pleasant with everyone enjoying themselves and magic being free in Camelot but it...it suddenly all changed. Everyone was fighting, magic was no longer free and I was also older fighting against you, whom which looked really sickly. T-then everyone was laying d-dead on the ground except a man whose face was blurred and I. The man was dressed like one of the knights a-and he began to walk towards me with his sword in hand ready to kill me. I-I tried to fight him off b-but he stabbed me. I woke up after that." Rhiannon said as she began sobbing in Morgana's arms.

"Shhh...don't fret, it won't happen no one will let that happen. You know we both could never fight each other, you're like a daughter to me I could never hurt you." Morgana cooed to the sobbing child continuing her rubbing of soothing circles on the young child's back.

'Morgana...' A voice said in Morgana's mind.

"Yes?" Morgana said to which Rhiannon would, if she was more coherent, be confused by.

'Can I come out?' The voice spoke to Morgana.

"Rhiannon, you must promise me something alright?" Morgana asked the slowly calming child.

"O-of course..." Rhiannon said.

"You mustn't tell Uther of whom I'm going to introduce you to, do you promise?" Morgana begged the child whom she trusted with her life.

"I promise...as long as they don't try to kill me or else I'll tell Arthur." Rhiannon said as seriously as a 10 year old who was just sobbing a minute ago could.

"He won't. Alright, come with me then." Morgana said carrying the girl in her arms over to the area in the room behind a curtain.

"Why is he hiding?" The curious child asked as Morgana set her down and pulled the curtain open to reveal a young boy.

'I'm a druid.' The young boy said to Rhiannon through telepathy.

'I've never met a druid before. I'm princess Rhiannon it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.' Rhiannon replied to the boy using telepathy as well.

'I know who you are, I've heard prophecies about you from the druid leaders. My name is Mordred.' Mordred replied with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Uther wishes to kill the boy for being a druid! It's absolutely barbaric!" Morgana exclaimed in anger and disgust of the king, the two children both jumped for they were a bit too focused on each other.

"Father is barbaric and blinded by rage for a reason unknown but we have no choice but to follow him for he is the king. I hope for a better world when my prat of a brother is king though at this time he is too arrogant and blind for that to come true." Rhiannon said with wisdom which appears every so often.

"You'd be a better Queen to rule Camelot then Arthur." Morgana said sadly.

'But you aren't the future queen of Camelot.' Mordred whined.

"If I became queen I'd want Mordred to be my king." Rhiannon grinned childishly at Mordred.

"If you want that then you'd have to abolish the law against magic." Morgana smiled lovingly at the girl.

'But we're not meant to rule Camelot...' Mordred told Rhiannon with a pink tint to his cheeks.

"Well, if Arthur does rule Camelot, which he will, then Mordred would you be willing to be my prince?" Rhiannon giggled while Morgana found this absolutely adorable.

'O-okay...' Mordred replied nodding at the girl while feeling embarrassed.

"Let's promise each other that we will stay together then." Rhiannon said with a tilt of her head.

'I promise that we will meet again and that this time we will stay by each others side.' Mordred said to Rhiannon with a tiny smile.

'I promise that as well.' Rhiannon replied for only Mordred to hear.

"My little girl's growing up..." Morgana pouted.

"I'm never growing up! Never ever!" Rhiannon exclaimed crossing her arms looking like a five year old child.

"We should all be going to sleep I suppose. Mordred needs his rest to restore his health and little princesses need their sleep." Morgana said before giving Mordred a kiss on the forehead.

"Awwwe, okay Morgana...Goodnight Mordred, I'll come visit as much as I can!" Rhiannon said before giving Mordred a hug and grabbing Morgana's hand.

'Goodnight my lady...' Mordred said to Rhiannon as Morgana closed the curtain and took Rhiannon to the bed to go to sleep.

'...' means telepathy
"..." means talking aloud
'...' means thoughts
