A few days had passes since Iz's arrival in Camelot and not much had changed. Morgana, the Kings ward and herself had formed somewhat of a friendship thanks to Gwen; Iz also became friends with Merlin himself, again thanks to Gwen. But Arthur, the Kings son was a different matter entirely; he didn't trust Iz, not even paid any attention to her really. He seemed convinced that she was up to no good, mainly because Uther was nicer to her, a mere stranger, than he had ever been to him, his son. Though Iz knew that these feelings would soon pass, but not soon enough for Iz's liking.

The feeling of uncertainty and danger had still not left Iz, for she would still feel danger, especially at night and with the upcoming banquet Iz had a bad feeling about the situation. She had made up her mind that she had to go even though she hated such occasions, she was never one for being the centre of attention but the banquet was in her honour. Uther had decided that since a dear friend of his had returned to Camelot, that it was a time of celebration, little did he know that danger that was around the corner. As Iz lay on her bed thinking about the situation she was in, the situation the Doctor had left her in, she heard a knock at the door, she groaned at went to answer it.

" Yes?" She questioned

" The King would like to speak to you." the servant said

" Oh well thank you," she said whilst smiling sweetly, "And where exactly might I find Uther?" she asked

"He will be in his quarters," he answered as if it was obvious

" And where might they be? You know what never mind, do you think you could show me the way I still haven't figured this castle out yet"

"Yes of course, follow me"

Iz smiled at the man and followed him towards Uthers' quarters. On the way she saw Gwen struggling with some sheets for Morgana's room and ran to help her, as Morgana's room was en route to Uther, Iz knew that for certain.

When she walked into Uther's room, she noticed that Arthur was also there.

"Hello Uther" Iz said

"Hello Isabella - " Uther started but was quickly cut off by Iz

"Its Iz Uther, how many times must I remind you," she said in a playful tone. Arthur sat shocked at what she had just said.

" Yes, yes I know but I prefer Isabella. Now as I was saying tonight is the banquet in your honour and I was just checking to make sure that you will be happy to come on your own and actually turn up or do I have to send Arthur to drag you down kicking and screaming" he said half joking.

"Well kicking and screaming would be a good way to go, you know how much I like to cause a scene but I think that I am fully capable of coming on my own. Besides I'm pretty sure Arthur wouldn't be too pleased if he had to come and get me"

"That's an understatement," Arthur whispered

"Arthur! I heard that, you will not say such things to our guest and a friend of mine. Apologize" Uther reprimanded

" Father you cannot expect me to apologize to that girl. Besides how can you call her a dear friend she's the same age as me, how can you have known her long enough for her to be trusted so easily. You want to know what I think. I think that she is a witch and has cast some sort of spell on you," Arthur stated. Iz couldn't help but start laughing what Arthur had said, though she already knew what he was thinking beforehand.

"What is so funny" Arthur demanded. But Iz couldn't reply instead she just pointed her finger at Arthur.

"Me? Father can you believe this?"

"That is enough Arthur. She has not cast a spell upon me, I am perfectly alright, and you are right that I have not known her for a long time but she saved my life and save Camelot many years ago" Uther explained. Iz stared shocked at Uther.

"Wait. Years ago but how?" Arthur questioned clearly confused.

" Well I suppose I should explain that Uther. You see it all begins with a man, his name is the Doctor…" With that Iz explained everything. She explained who the Doctor was; she explained how she met the Doctor and some of the amazing things he showed her. She then explained how she came to Camelot not that long ago, but a long time ago from now, how she and the Doctor helped Uther using Iz's magic to rid Camelot of the sorcerers that were alien, of how she saved Uther life using her own magic against many others, making sure no harm ever came to him. She then explained, how she came back to Camelot. "And now here we are." She said as she finished her story.

"Well," Arthur cleared his through uncomfortably. "That explains a lot. Well erm I would just like to say sorry then, for being as Merlin would say a Pratt. I had no idea really, I just assumed since my father was never really that kind to anyone but royalty that you had enchanted him or something. You haven't have you?" Iz laughed.

" No of course not. I hardly ever use my magic anyway especially not in Camelot but Uther was in danger and couldn't just stand by when I could do something, even if it was with magic. Also, I'm really not that bothered by it anyway so there was no need to apologize, I knew you meant no harm really." Arthur smiled slightly.

"Well now that is sorted you may both leave" Uther said. With that Arthur and Iz both left Uther to his work. As Iz made her way back to her room she couldn't help but think that maybe things were finally starting to change with Arthur, though she couldn't know for certain, even with her gifts.

That night was her banquet, and as promised she and Morgana walked into the great hall with no fuss, both of them looking amazing. Iz was wearing an elegant yet simple dress she borrowed of Morgana, as all of her dresses would cause suspicion among the people and Uther didn't need that.

Iz spent most of the evening with Morgana or dancing with Merlin and some other men that had asked for a dance. Nothing out of the ordinary had happened by the time everyone had finished eating and started dancing again, maybe I was just being silly Iz thought as she remembered the feelings she was having. Just then a cloud of smoke appeared in the middle of the room and Iz knew she had thought wrong and was right from the beginning as usual. A woman appeared, seething with anger, Iz could feel it and was blinded by the rage as she collapsed on the ground. She could hear Arthur trying to wake her up, while the woman was yelling at Uther, what she said Iz had no idea but she knew she had to help, with all of her energy she was able to open her eyes, the first thing she saw was Arthur's face above hers relived that she was ok.

Iz stood on her feet and turned to face the women, still holding on to Arthur for support. When she faced the women, she realised that she knew her: she had meet her while on her travels with the Doctor but the last time they had meet she was kind not full of rage as she was now and Iz had no idea what happened to her.

"Oh my god" she whispered

"What? What is it Iz? Are you ok?" Arthur asked, panicked

" No, I'm fine, it's just that I've met her before with the Doctor. I wonder what happened to her. What's going on?" Iz questioned

"She has threatened to kill everyone in the room until my father gives her some sort of stone that can heal but of course he knows nothing of such a stone"

"But I do" Iz said as she reached for the stone around her neck, as she touched the stone it started to glow and the woman's head snapped in Iz's direction, with an evil smirk on her lips.

"Give it to me!" She demanded

"No," Iz replied, "You will never have this"

" Stupid mortal child, do you not realise that I will kill you if you do not give it to me. You and everyone else in this room"

" Mortal? I'm no mere mortal and trust me if anyone will be killed it will be you" Iz replied with such strength that the woman was taken a back by her courage.

" Such words for such a little thing, but I don't think you know who you are dealing with. I am Aliah, the great sorceress of the worlds. Do not think you have the ability to defeat me because you don't" As she said this she sent waves of fire around the room. From the corner of her eye Iz saw Merlin step forward to do something but Gaius held him back. Aliah started to cackle as she saw the fear in everyone's eyes especially that of Uther. However, her smile faded quickly as she turned and saw Iz's eyes, they had changed colour from her normal brown to a deep gold, realization hit Aliah as she turned to escape but Iz lifted her arm and Aliah froze in place unable to move, the fire stopped and disappeared.

"I told you that if anyone was going to die tonight it would be you." Iz said as she flicked her wrist and Aliah was destroyed, nothing left but a pile of ashes. As her eyes started turning back to brown Iz made them all forget what they had seen all but Uther and Arthur for they already knew what she was.

Everyone murmured confused as to what had happened, while Arthur stared at Iz shocked. Iz turned and smiled at the prince before she walked towards his father to explain that everyone has forgotten what just happened, so there was no need for explanations. Unknown to Iz however, one other person remembered: Merlin.
