A/N: Just because I kept forgetting my ideas, I decided to upload two chapters at once. Oh and if you liked my previous chapter I should say this: thankyou! Please review about what you liked and disliked. If you disliked it, please tell me what I should improve on. Thankyou.

This afternoon, after the council meeting regarding Thompson, I go to Gaius who helps me with my sleep deficiency. He usually makes me a sleeping drought that only puts me to sleep for an hour. Then the nightmares return, but I do not tell him I can see the future through my dreams as this may reach the King my Father, whom I do not want to put under the pressure of a terrible choice: not upholding the laws of Camelot or executing his own daughter.

I wonder why it is taking him so long preparing my potion, and wander into the large stacks of papers that I immediately recognise as his medical achievements. 'Gaius?' I ask.

I hear a short 'hmm' that I instantly identify as the reply.

'May I please read these files? I am very interested in medicine and helping people like you do.'

'I can teach you if you like!'

My joy is impossible to conceal. How many young women get the chance to study a profession that is generally reserved for men? 'Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!' I squeal.

'When do we start?' comes the great man's voice.

'Anytime you are free!'

'Do you know how hard it is to come across young people who actually want to learn medicine these days? Here, your potion is ready,' he says handing me a pale blue vial. 'It is thicker and much stronger than any potion I have given you, so just add five drops a glass of water and drink it an hour before you want to go to sleep, and please don't use it on the guards so that you can let James Thompson escape. Uther will be frustrated. I really mean it.' His eyes change expression and he says in a calmer voice, 'You were brave standing up against the King. Come to me tomorrow at eight in morning and I think we can squeeze an hour in.'

I go for the door as my bright blue dress trails behind me when I turn and say, 'Thankyou.'

Gaius just smiles.

As I make my way back to the castle Martha is waiting for me with my purple evening gown which tells me that I'd have to face my father at dinner.

I sigh.

A/N: What do you think? Please review! I'd love to hear it!
