I woke up in my room in the tavern of Camelot. I needed to see the king. I got out of bed and walked to the castle.
"I request an audience with King Arthur," I told the guards at the doors of the throne room. They opened the doors and I stepped inside.
"Wait here while I fetch the king," the same guard told me, and he walked away. I looked around. I hadn't been here in forever. Fifteen years ago, I was a little girl running around the streets of Camelot. I had grown so much since then. My thoughts were interrupted when Arthur banged open the door. He started walking up to me, when he stopped in his tracks.
"I-Irene!" He said amazed. "What are you doing here?"
"There was no one else I could turn to. Sit down. I need to talk to you." Arthur was an old friend. Well, more than a friend. I loved him when I was a girl. He never knew I had magic.
He sat down, and looking at me he asked, "What is it?" I told him my story.
"Fifteen years ago, when I left Camelot, I was going on a search for my father. I had found out that he was alive, and I was eager to see him. I traveled to the kingdom of Sapharia, hearing that he dwelled there. I went to the king, asking for my father. Little did I know, that I was sitting face-to-face with and talking with the man I was looking for. A few minutes later, I found out that King Zephyr was my father, and that I was a princess. Just recently..." My voice trailed off until I mustered up the courage to talk again. "I'm sure you've heard the news. Just recently, an army came into my father's kingdom and killed everyone. I was the only one that escaped. Magic was involved, Arthur. Dark, dark magic."
"Morgana," Arthur whispered. "I'm very sorry to hear this. I will help you in every way I can. And I know who did this." I looked at him expectantly.
"Do you remember the lady Morgana?"
"Yes, sire, we were very good friends." I answered.
"Well now she wants to kill everyone it seems."
"Really? Morgana?" I asked. "Unbelievable."
"Choose to believe it or not, soon you will see her, and you will know the truth." I looked down. "Show the Princess Irene to her room please." I walked out of the throne room, into the room where I might be spending the rest of my life.
