Right... So now I know where I am going with this. I have decided to place this after Season 3. So if you do not want spoilers, TURN BACK NOW.
I do not own BBC's Merlin. Please enjoy the story!
A royal court with colors of rich blues and soft whites dressing the walls and throne, a King sat looking as if he had lost his greatest treasure. He was an aged man, clearly nearly as old as Uther. The opening of the doors caught his attention as a knight marched in and bowed deeply. "Sire! " He said barely able to contain himself. "The Lady Jolene has been found!"
The King stood quickly. "Where is she?" He demanded descending his throne and taking long strides to the man.
"In her chambers resting." The man answered quickly. "She arrived late last night and requested that you only be told in the morning. She wanted sleep claiming she had run all day and night just to get home."
"Very good." The King said beginning to grin. "Alert our friends and the Kingdom! A celebration must be done. "Invite our friends in Camelot. They have known of our sorrow and helped us search. They should be invited to a grand feast to honor her return! This is a glorious day!"
Uther sat on his throne while a royal messenger gave him the invitation to Alysa's Lands. Uther read it over carefully before smiling himself. "It is good to hear that he has found her." He said reading it over again. "Tell him we would be honored to pay a visit and he can expect us in four days time." The messenger bowed and left the room to relay the answer.
Uther turned to Arthur. "Make ready to leave." He ordered. "We shall bring only a few select Knights and servants. Choose wisely, we may be at peace, but that does not mean something could spring up. Alysa is more relaxed about the issue of magic. He does not yet know just how evil it truly is. We must be on our guard."
Arthur was pacing around his room as Merlin packed the several trunks that had been brought up by other servants. "This is most strange!" He finally said causing Merlin to look up from his work.
"I'm sorry, but what is so strange?" Merlin asked with a raised eyebrow. "A King has been reunited with his lost daughter and wishes to celebrate it with the Kingdom that had helped him find her."
"We all thought the Lady Jolene was dead though." Arthur replied sitting in his chair. "And now she has returned. It's amazing. She never had any form of athletic skill, much like you, and yet still she had been able to free herself and make it home!"
Merlin frowned at being called weak again. He was anything but weak. "Well sometimes if a person really sets their mind to something, they can do anything." He said with a shrug. "She must have really wanted to get home."
"Yeah…" Arthur said thinking it over. "Be sure to tell Gwaine, Lancelot, Elyan, Percival and Leon that they are to come along. They need to be ready to leave shortly." Merlin beamed as he quickly sprinted off to tell the five men just that. At least he would have a few people he could talk openly to.
I thank everyone that tossed me ideas. I have decided to combine a few for this. Please keep feeding me ideas as I plan to make this a series that will last until I get bored with it. Again I thank you. Please R&R!
