A/N: Wow! Two chapters in two days! That's a new record for me. I'm sorry that this chapter is so short. I had to be careful with what I added so that I wouldn't give away the major plotline for the next chapter. Enjoy!

Morgana's Plan

After the king announced that the Physician's daughter was now the new Lady of Camelot, Stuart thought it might be wise to tell Morgana of what had happened, though he was unable to meet with her and Agravaine when he had wanted. It took him a good week before he was able to slip out of the castle undetected and down to the small hovel in which Morgana and Agravaine resided.

Dismounting his horse, Stuart knocked on the door and waited for the door to open by itself. When it did, he walked inside and was face to face with Morgana.

"Stuart, we were not expecting you today." Morgana said sounding rather bored.

"I am sorry that I did not come during the week, my lady. My master had me working up to my eyeballs. I bring some grave news."

"What news?" Agravaine said from where he was sitting on Morgana's bed.

"Last week, the king allowed the Physician's daughter, Ariana to become the new Lady of Camelot."

Morgana roared with rage as she swept the objects from her table. "First my brother marries and crowns that wrench as Camelot's queen and now he allows the Physician's daughter take my place as the Lady of Camelot? What the hell is this world coming to?" She straightened up and calmed herself down.

"What are we to do?" Agravaine asked. "If we can't bring Arthur down by having a spy in Camelot then what are we to do now?"

An idea suddenly came to Morgana. "Ready the horses, Agravaine."

"Where are we going, my lady?"

"To see Helios, Agravaine," Morgana hissed. "Where else would we be going?" Morgana sneered at the man who was now her only 'true' friend. "Stuart," she said as she turned to the serving boy. "Return to Camelot, we don't want Arthur to get suspicious." The boy nodded and bowed before hurrying to the door and disappearing back to his horse. He was glad to be away from the witch that was the king's half-sister.

Morgana and Agravaine rode through the forest, leading their horses at a gallop to Helios' camp. It was a rather large establishment; it was more like a fortress then a campsite. Making their way through the establishment, they came to the 'throne room' where they were welcomed with open arms.

"My Lady Morgana, what a pleasant surprise," Helios' voice boomed around the room. "And I see that you have brought Camelot's traitor." Helios threw a wicked grin in Agravaine's direction.

"Arthur exiled me from Camelot." Agravaine told him.

"Ah, so you have come here because of Arthur," Helios said ushering his servant to pull out chairs for their guests.

"There is much to discuss Helios," Morgana said taking a seat.

"This is more than just Arthur isn't it?" Helios inquired as Agravaine sat beside Morgana and he took his place on his 'throne.'

"It does indeed," Morgana said with a sigh. "Arthur has married a servant girl by the name of Guinevere and has made her his queen," she paused to allow her words to soak in. "He has also made the Court Physician's daughter the Lady of Camelot." Helios could see that Morgana was getting even angrier but ignored it so that she could continue her rant. When she didn't say anything more, he decided to speak up.

"Why do you need my help?"

"You have been a loyal friend to me Helios so I ask you this, I need your help to take back Camelot and what is rightfully mine." She allowed her lips to turn into a feral smile.

"What do I get in return?" the warlord asked.

"Anything you want," Morgana smiled wickedly before exchanging looks with Agravaine.

"I would take the deal Helios," Agravaine said casually. "If you accept then you can be one of her advisors or possibly her king."

Helios' face lit up at the word 'king'. He had always dreamed of taking some poor soul's throne for himself but he never imagined that he would gain it through an illegitimate princess. "I would be honoured to help you take Camelot for your own." He smiled at Morgana and she couldn't help but smile back. "So how do we get the throne? With Camelot now having a King and a Queen, they will be heavily guarded." Morgana smirked.

"Not always. They often have times to themselves where it's just them and no Merlin or that title stealing wrench around. I just so happen to know the perfect time in which to strike." Agravaine and Helios frowned.

"When?"

"In two months time Camelot will be holding the Feast of Beltane. That is the best time to strike. There will be few knights and guards around the boundaries."

"What does this have to do with Arthur and Guinevere?" Agravaine asked. Morgana's eyes darted to look at him. There was a fire burning within them. The man could be so stupid at times.

"EVERYTHING!" Morgana screamed. "You really are thick Agravaine. Don't you see? If the king and his queen are distracted then we will have the perfect opportunity to strike them and take over the throne." Morgana frowned as she remembered the last time she had taken the throne for herself. Morgause had helped her overturn Uther. During the battle to keep the throne, Morgause had been seriously injured by Gaius and Merlin and Morgana had been forced to flee with the dying Morgause in tow. Shaking the memories away, she turned her attention to Helios who was looking at her questioningly. "How long with it take to train your warriors?"

"A month maybe two," He stated, his eyes darting from the witch to her companion one time each.

"Good. We strike then."
