The vision had come to be. Arthur had pulled the sword from the stone and in facing the power had fallen unconscious and was taken captive by the king. He was to be executed.

The whole town knew of the born king pulling the sword from the stone. Those that knew Arthur were going underground as to avoid capture and torture. Katherine had attempted to hide in the shop with her father until she could be snuck out of the city.

After the sun had set Rubio had come to take Katherine to their hideaway so that the Blacklegs could not get to her.

She had waited for days with Bedivere in hopes of her love returning to her.

"Rubio and the others are being sent with the mage to retrieve Arthur." Bedivere said to Katherine as he walked into her chambers.

"I'm going with them."

"No, I promised your father that I would look after you should this ever happen. It is happening. You must stay here. Besides, if the blacklegs were to find you they could kill you and then Arthur may never fight for our cause. Only you can convince him to take the crown."

"Bedivere, he may believe me already dead."

"Then Rubio will convince him otherwise. He has taken one of the lilies from your garden to give to him."

Bedivere left to talk with Goosefat and wait for Rubio and Arthur's arrival. Katherine had been assured that she would be told when he had arrived.

There was a knock on her door and Katherine ran to it opening it to reveal Rubio.

"He is here?"

"Yes, my lady." Rubio smiled.

Katherine didn't wait another second, she ran through the halls to where Bedivere and Goosefat were talking to Arthur.

"I'm not going anywhere, am I?" Arthur asked.

"Where were you thinking of going? Your home was razed days ago." Goosefat said casually.

"Like it or not we're your lot, and even we don't like you." Bedivere said.

"I like him." Katherine smiled as she walked int.

"Katherine?" Arthur questions as she ran into his arms.

"I was so worried about you."

"You're here? But how?"

"Katherine and her father have been part of the resistance for a long time. As soon as you pulled the sword from the stone we made sure to get her out of Londinium. I'm sorry we could not get everyone." Bedivere apologized.

"You're part of the resistance?" Arthur asked.

"I'm sorry I could not tell you. I did not want to risk your life with that knowledge."

"We would have very little hope without her. Her visions told us you were alive." Goosefat said with a smile.

"Visions?"

"My love, let me explain."

"The resistance, visions, magic. You knew I was going to be king?"

"I knew you were the born king."

"Is that why you let me fall in love with you? So, one day you could be queen?"

"No, I did not know that you would be king until after you asked my father for my hand. I promise I love you for you. Until the ends of time."

"How can I believe you? After all the secrets and lies."

"She told me of the vision after she had it. We have known for a few months. We could not do anything to endanger the chances of Katherine's visions not coming true." Bedivere said.

"Arthur, it is you and me against the world. As it has always been. I love your laugh, your heart, your determination, your morals, you."

"Tell me something specific. Something that will make me believe you."

"I love the way you calm down the minute I grab your hand when you're having a nightmare. I love the way you reach for me every morning and panic when I'm not there. I love the way I feel around you. I look at you and I feel sick to my stomach, but I know that I would never want that feeling to go away if it means I get to look at you every day. Because that is what love it."

"That's what love is." Arthur smiled and grabbed her hands.

"Arthur, we need your help. We need the born king to defeat Vortigern." Katherine said and grabbed Excalibur from Bedivere and held it out to Arthur.

Arthur just sighed and looked at her.

"I'm no king." Arthur said and shook his head.

"Katherine, come. Let the man think on his own." Bedivere said and Katherine sighed taking the sword with her.

"He doesn't deserve you, darling." Goosefat said wrapping his arms around her shoulders and walking with her.

"I see what you're all trying to do. You're trying to get me riled up to get me to do something with the sword. I'm not getting drawn into this mess. I haven't had a fight in years. I'll take, but there's no way I'll fight."

"Liar." Katherine said and rolled her eyes.

"Darling, please." Arthur said before punching Goosefat in the throat and then going after the others.

Arthur took the sword from Bedivere and turned to Katherine.

"Come, darling. I thought you didn't fight." Katherine said with a sly smile as she held out her hand for Rubio's sword.

"I will not fight you, Kat."

"Well, it is either fight me or join me, Arthur." Katherine said with a sly smile.

"Come on, Kat. Just come home with me." Arthur tired to plead, but Katherine ignored him and swung Rubio's sword.

Arthur looked at her as she swung again.

"Come on, love. You're going to let your fiancé beat you?" Katherine asked.

Arthur began to fight back, but he knew how good Katherine was. He had taught her himself. He never struck her though. He had no intentions of hurting her.

"Is that all you've got?" Katherine asked.

Arthur looked at her and grabbed the sword with both hands but was unable to do anything as the images flooded his mind. He fell down and Katherine rushed over to him.

"Arthur?" She said as she saw his eyes flash before he closed them.

"Get the mage. Help me get him to a bed." Katherine instructed and Rubio went for the mage as Goosefat and Bedivere helped get Arthur to his bed.

"Katherine." The mage said and bowed her head.

"I wan to know what is going on with that sword. Why it is causing Arthur to fall unconscious." Katherine instructed, and the mage bowed her head before taking the sword.

"You already sound like a queen." Bedivere said as Katherine grabbed a ran and began wiping away the dirt on Arthur's face.

"I never wanted to be queen. I just wanted to be with him." Katherine said looking down on her love.

"You will make a great queen."

"First we must defeat Vortigern."

Bedivere nodded and left. The mage started a fire behind her and began her work. Arthur began turning in his sleep, as if he was having another nightmare. Katherine sat beside him and pulled his head into her lap. Katherine placed her hand on his head to smooth him, but was sucked into his nightmare. She saw the monster and saw the young Arthur holding out Excalibur to his father there was a slice and Katherine was pulled out of his mind.

Arthur quickly sat up and turned to see Katherine looking down at her hands. He looked down and saw the two cuts in her palms. They were in the same place that his scars were and where the child in his nightmare had been cut.

"Kat?"

"That has never happened before." Katherine said staring at her hands.

"You two are connected. That makes the visions stronger with him. What happens in the visions happens to you in real life." The mage explained.

"Give me a rag." Arthur said to the mage and she did.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes. Are you?" Katherine asked holding a hand up to his face.

"Yes."

"You are resisting the sword." The mage said to Arthur.

"How many times must I tell you that I am not what you're looking for?" Arthur shhhaid to her.

"Not yet."

"Not ever!"

"Arthur." Katherine said reaching for him.

"No, Kat. I'm not it."

"What do you see when you hold the sword?" The mage asked him.

"Is it what has kept you up in the past?" Katherine asked.

"There is a way to make the dreams go away." The mage said and both Katherine and Arthur looked at her back.

"No." Katherine said and stood up.

"What?" Arthur asked looking at the mage.

"Arthur, go find us some food." Katherine said refusing to look at him.

"I have a say in this."

"Arthur. Please." Katherine snapped and Arthur did as she asked.

"He needs to go to the darklands."

"The has to be another way."

"No."

"Then I will go with him."

"He must do it alone."

"No, I will not let him."

"He needs to. It is the only way to get him to stop resisting."

"He could die."

"He could live and be who we need."

"Are you positive he will live?" Katherine asked.

The mage said nothing.

"Then no."
