Vonda and Marina became Court Heartthrobs. Gwen was the only other woman who received more suitors.

The two women gladly accepted them, having at least a date per week. But they weren't just medieval flappers, they really were good healers and midwives. They could heal almost anything, sometimes outshining Gaius. They were also everyone's first choice when a woman went into labor, not just the humans.


Merlin was walking in the forest, he was on his way back from Avalon. Arthur hadn't risen, he was disappointed, but his beating necklace gave him hope.

He was nearing the gates when he caught sight of Vonda and Sir Percival on a date. He stopped and hid himself. The two have had a lot of dates recently. Merlin remembered Vona telling him that Sir Percival was her father.

Suddenly, Vonda caught his eye. Merlin quickly went back to the castle.


Merlin was in the front room of his and Gauis's chambers, working on a draft for a new piece of legislation he would present at the next council meeting. Soon it would be time for dinner, so Merlin cleaned up and went to the door. When he opened it, he was shocked to find Vonda standing there, hands on her hips.

"What were you doing spying on me?" She asked. Merlin was caught offgaurd. "Well?" Vonda was getting impatient.

Merlin knew he had to say something. This was Vona's mother, he had to impress her. "I, I was walking back to Camelot, when I saw you."

"And why did you stare?"

"I was curious."

"Why?"

Merlin couldn't think of an answer. He just stood there, with Vonda giving him the hairy eyeball. Without realizing, he grabbed his heart necklace, it always calmed him down.

"Where did you get that necklace Merlin?" Vonda asked. It was as if she possed two sets of eyes, one pair looked at his face, the other looked at his chest. Merlin suspected it was her necklace, which would someday be Vona's, that was giving her this power.

"It was a gift." Merlin quickly answered. He didn't know how to explain Vona to anybody.

"From who?"

"Uh…" Merlin stumbled for words.

A sly smile appeared on Vonda's face. She leaned forward, and quietly said, "You'll make a wonderful in-law." Then she walked away.

Merlin was left confused. How did she know?


Vonda walked into her chambers. With a quick glance around the room, she took out a mirror from the folds of her robe. She held it in her hands, and with a strong, sturdy voice she said to it, "Mirror, mirror in my hand, I have some questions, do you understand?"

A face appeared in the mirror. It was that of a beautiful maiden, with sparkling purple eyes. "Yes, Your Grace." The face said.

"Mirror, is Merlin suspisious of me?"

"Yes, why wouldn't he?"

"Just checking. Now," her voice lowered, "how are things at home?"

"About the same the last time you asked me."

Vonda sighed. "I had the feeling. Kingdoms breaking down, and warring with each other. Dark Age Britain is so violent."

The Mirror face raised a blue eyebrow, "And it's supposed to be better in this Dimension?"

"Well, in this Dimension, there's here, which is far safer." Vonda face became saddened, "If only Mother could see that. A stone castle is more protective than an earthen stronghold."

"Don't be sad, Your Grace, Dame Violet will live a long life. She's happy there, even though, in that Dimension, there's no tomatoes in Dark Age Britten."

A small smile crossed Vonda's mouth. "You're right, my wise, all seeing mirror."

"I know."
