I'm sure y'all are excited about this chapter since i gave up on 'daughter of the dead king'

I also now have an awesome beta reader so my grammar and spelling (which I suck at) will be better. This is my first year at a school ( I was homeschooled till ninth grade) So I have been busying trying to figure out how school works. I am also starting to learn russian, which has always been my dream, I am also learning asl so yeah. I don't take bad comments well so if I randomly just start ranting it probably because someone said something bad about the story. Also please, please, please, send thanks to my new beta TheIndividualist who is super awesome and this chapter would not be this good with out her.

Anyway enjoy the first chapter of 'The coming of Albion'.

Watching the bright light of springtime marking the beginning of yet another peaceful day within the kingdom, the sounds of a horse galloping across the path ringing in the rider's ears as the fresh air filled the atmosphere with pure harmony.

Riding out on this delightful morning was a young lady who couldn't have been any older than her teenage years, with eyes that contentedly observed her surroundings resembled the clear blue sky lingering gently above her. To accompany her vibrant eyes, long locks of wavy malibu blonde hair flowed flawlessly down to the middle of her back, bouncing up and down as the fast-paced air that swished thoroughly through her hair tickled her neck.

The sun shone down on Andrea's delicately structured facial features, making them glow slightly like the sun itself as she slipped off of her midnight black horse. Under the tree she tied her horse to was a large grey stone, and gracefully carved into the stone where the following elegantly engraved words.

King Arthur Pendragon, husband to Queen Guinevere Pendragon.
Youngest Son to Uther Pendragon and the only child of Ygraine de Bois.
Brother to Morgana Pendragon, knight of the round table and best Friend of Merlin.

Andrea smiled to herself, her mother Queen Guinevere, had never requested for Andrea's name to be engraved even though Arthur was her biological father. See, a week before Arthur's death Gwen found out she was pregnant with Andrea, Gwen had then planned to tell Arthur when things were as back to normal as they could be. However, that wasn't to happen since it had been the same dreadful week Arthur had died.

Andrea wished she had met her father and the other knights, all who she thought very highly of given how loyal they were to the kingdom from what her mother told her. The only ones left within that majority were Sir Leon and Sir Percival.

Since then they had many more knights, plus they also had a few mages since Gwen legalized magic with some convincing, mainly from Merlin who had not only revealed his true powers to her, but also proving magic can be used for good as it was since the very day he became Arthur's loyal manservant.

Andrea then turned back to her horse, that very horse being the only horse she had been blessed to have within her 17 years of life. She had gotten the horse when she was five and now her horse was her most faithful friend within the entire kingdom. The horse's name is Veillantif which meant vigilant. Leaping onto Veillantif's back they sped down through the field and onto the rocky path towards Camelot.

Soon the tall towers of Camelot came into view over the top of the trees. She looked back at the path as she started passing the people of Camelot who were cheerfully carrying out their daily tasks on the road. As she entered through the gates into the lower town, banners hung from strings roped across the street. People filled the street, shopping, and celebrating the Zauber festival. The Zauber festival was the festival celebrating the making magic legal.

She arrived in the courtyard in front of the main doors she swung off her horse and let the servants take her away. Andrea walked into the castle wondering what she was to eat for dinner when she walked headlong into something.

She felt herself begin to collapse into a heap before a sudden pair of hands stopped the embarrassing process of falling flat on her face from proceeding. Looking up towards the faint blur of gold radiating within her own vision, it took her a few moments until she found herself letting out a sigh of relief when releasing those pair of hands and the unique golden glow to accompany them was in fact, Merlin.

"Please be more careful Andrea." He told her with a firm voice as she helped him help herself back onto her feet, "you're always running into people in the halls."

"Sorry Merlin," She answered back scratching the back of her neck. "I was just thinking that's all, where are you off to?"

"To the court meeting that you are required to be at," Merlin told me with a smirk. I panicked on the inside then regained my resolve and announced with dignity "Oh I totally forgot about it."

"That's what I thought, come, you can use my notes from yesterday."

They walked through the halls, occasionally passing a pair of guards, a knight or servants carrying various types of food or laundry neatly stacked within the palms of their hands as they walked in a flawless manner.

"How was your ride?" Merlin asked turning to me as we walked. He looked important in his blue cloak which had a silver dragon on the back under the cloak, to go with it he had leather armor and a sword which he had begun to be increasingly skilled at. His blue eyes now had a gold tint to them due to the fact that he could use magic whenever and wherever he wanted. His brown hair was longer than his early years in Camelot it went to about the tops of his ears which was now mostly wild and unkempt.

"It was quite fine due to the magnificent weather we're having," Andrea answered as they paced a group of guards and turned a corner to follow them to the throne room.

"Where did you go?"

"I went to the black forest," Andrea answered absently as they paced a window which displayed the views of the city and field surrounding it. Just then they came to the throne room doors and Merlin opened the huge oak doors for her and they walked in.

The long rectangle table was placed in the middle of the newly redone room. There was now more windows that let in light and a few tapestries hung on the walls with a painting or two. The only two seats that were left open was the one to the right of the throne and one to the left. Merlin took the left and Andrea took the right as they waited for the Queen.

All of a sudden horns sounded and Queen Guinevere walked through the doors Andrea had just walked through, everyone at the table stood in a show of respect for their queen.

" Please sit," she announced. "We have much to discuss."
