Hello everyone!
Welcome in the (very) long awaited sequel of 'A Universe Is Trapped Inside A Tear'!
So, yes, it's been a long time. I am sorry. Really. I didn't want to keep you waiting that long but, well, I began this one-shot collection and I was looking for ideas and then turned out that the one shots have been the inspiration for the sequel! Which means that is you have read the collection, a part of the story will be familliar to you (but, hopefully, it won't chase you away).
By the way, it is probably better if you have read 'A Universe...' before reading this story because they will be linked. But, if you have any question, do not hesitate to review or PM me!
I really hope you hadn't forgotten me, or this story, and that you will enjoy this new ride with me! I suppose it will be long (but I won't spoil anything)!
Don't forget either that reviews, critics, comments and ideas are very very welcome (let it be remembered that 'A Universe Is Trapped Inside A Tear' was supposed to be a one-shot before you reader made it beacome this huge wonderful adventure!) and will be answered.
Last, but not at all least, I want to adress the hugest thank you ever to my wonderful and supportive Beta: Photo100 whose encouragements certainly helped me find the courage to began posting despite the fact that I'm terrified to know what you'll think about it!
So, yes, that's it, a new beginning!
I leave you with the Prologue. First chapter will be updated on Friday (and yes, you can nag me if ever I forget).
Enjoy!
Prologue
The lone rider passed through the trees of the dark forest of Lothian almost noiselessly.
Contrary to the habitual travelers, he looked completely at ease and unworried as he moved through the known bandit-infested region. He knew he was at no risk from the people living in this area of the forest. They were his family, his brothers.
He smiled when he finally felt their minds brush his. He felt their anticipation and pushed his horse faster.
In no time, he saw the tree line thin to give way to a little clearing clustered with brown, green and white tents. Men already surrounded him as he dismounted and his mare was taken care of before he had had time to consider it.
A man, their leader, detached himself from the little group, his expression unreadable.
"What news do you bring?" He asked, his voice calm and calculating.
"Unexpected." The messenger began cryptically. "I come straight from Camelot where the King has just released the ban on magic."
Shocked gasps erupted throughout the camp.
"What?"
"How?"
"This can't be!"
"It's a trick!"
The leader let his men express their surprise before raising his hand calmly.
"Please my friend, explain to us, what made him change his mind?" He mused.
"I don't know my lord. All I know is that the King disappeared for a week with his manservant and one of his knights and made the announcement when he came back."
"And what about Morgana?" A younger voice asked.
The crowd parted to let an adolescent with bright and cold blue eyes approach.
The messenger bowed as the young man reached him.
"The circumstances are not clear but rumors says she is dead and was killed by the king himself. However, I heard guards say that she was already wounded before being put in her cell…"
The boy's fists clenched at his sides as anger rolled off him in waves, making everyone shudder in fear.
"Mordred." The leader admonished forcefully. "Calm yourself. I promise you Arthur Pendragon and the whole of Camelot will pay for that. But anger doesn't give good counsel and we must not act rashly."
"You're right Alvarr." Mordred answered after a long time. "But I will not rest until Camelot bows before me."
EDIT: I can't believe messed up the presentation like that :/ Thanks Shelbylou and my Beta for the notice.
So, I hope you liked that prologue. Interesting enough for you dear reader?
See you on Friday!
Oh, by the way, any artist for the cover?
