Slowly Ebony got dressed to meet with Merlin , the only reason she did do it was because
Galahad had asked her too. As she opened her door she was greeted by two woads who she
assumed where to escort her to Merlin. They both bowed and then the taller one put out an
arm for her to take. She gingerly took his hand and then they where off. They ended up in the
in the main hall, Arthur Guinevere and Merlin where all sitting there. Her escorts left once
she was seated with a nod of their head toward the other three. They all sat there in silence
for a couple of moments until Merlin finally broke the silence.
" How are you feeling Lady Ebony" Merlin asked
" How do you think" Ebony shot back coldly
" Kitten we all understand how you feel" Arthur stated
" Don't Arthur you know nothing of what I feel" Ebony said with anger in her voice
" I've lost love ones two I understand that it hurts" Arthur said taking her hand
" Yes you lost love one's but all I feel is pain I can't even go fucking numb anymore, Arthur I
want to be with my father and brother , and my love but I'm stuck here. I would have
probably jumped off the damn tower to join them if I wasn't watched 24/7" Ebony said
smacking his away
" An what of the children in your womb" Merlin asked calmly
" Children" The other three asked confused
" Ay my lady you conceived the night before the battle and now are in a month into
pregnancy" Merlin said
" Tristans children" Ebony said with a whisper
" Yes the bird mans children, the future king and queen of this land" Merlin said
This put Ebony in complete shock did the old man just say what she thought he said. Her
children would be the next king and queen, what about Arthur's children.
" I am barren so you as Arthur's sister and princess your children are next in line to the
thrown" Guinevere said a little sadness in her voice
" I'm not a princess hell im not even a knight" Ebony said bluntly
" Well Lady you are to be crowned with Arthur" Merlin said
" Why" Ebony asked
" Because of the prophecy" all sitting at the table said together
Merlin slid over an ancient looking piece of parchment to where Ebony was sitting. As she
read it her eye's grew larger and larger because one of the lines said all she loved would come
back. Tristan, Lancelot, Dagonet all returned to her.
One of the old people will rise again
Tis the new Kingdome she is to defend
Hair of a raven eyes of jewels
Tis the warrior people that she rules
Those she loves will die from those she hate
10years they will come back on that date
The raven's children will rule the goddesses land
With a valiant fair hand
" How" Ebony asked
" You where chosen by the goddesses and for what ever reason she has scene fit to give you
all you lost back, those three where taken in the first place to purify the land that the new
Kingdome will be built on" Merlin said
" O was all Ebony was able to say still shell shocked.
" Tomorrow you will be crowned with these two as Arthur's sister and princess of Britain"
Merlin said
" Ok" Ebony said getting up leaving the three in the hall while she wondered for a walk. She
never noticed as two blue men fallowed her at a distance as she headed into the forest.
To the same place she had gone before the Woads came, before the battle and everything
went down hill. Ebony still couldn't believe that she was pregnant with twins now she
wouldn't do anything because she would never hurt Tristan's children. Also that she was
going to be crowned Princess how insane was that. The thing that she wondered the most was
why was she chosen by the goddess., she had never done anything special and there had to
be a million more people who deserved it more then her. What was Ebony thinking she was
going to get them back, Tris ,lance and Dag where all going to be returned to her. 10 years
was a long way to wait but she would wait for eternity if need be. Ebony finally came to the
conclusion that she would try to be happy and raise her children in the old ways as she herself
was taught and love them more then anything. She would tell them stories of their father,
uncle grandfathers and grandmother. So when they didn't come they wouldn't be complete
strangers. Ebony was brought out of her thoughts when something landed on her leg, she
looked down to see a small crow sitting on her leg. It couldn't be more then a baby that had
just left its nest, the bird gently pecked her finger as if to say pet me. Gently Ebony stroked
the birds feathers, she stayed there for hours until finally she fell asleep. Never feeling herself
picked up Ebony was surprised to find her self in her room when she woke up a couple of
hours later. For the first time in a while Ebony felt very hungry so she got up quickly
changing her cloths headed toward the Tavern where she new every one was bound to be. As
she walked into the tavern everybody quieted down and stared at her until Galahad saved
her by embracing her and leading her toward the table he and everyone else was sitting.
" Well Kitten what brings your highness to our humble abode" Gawain said with a mock bow
" Well um I'm hungry and I figured id make sure idiots didn't get your selves into trouble"
Ebony said
" Is good to have you back kitten" Galahad said pulling her into a hug
" Well if your not easy with those arms of yours I might loose my oxygen and you could hurt
my children" Ebony said gently hitting him
This made the younger knights mouth fall open in amazement, their little Ebony having
children it couldn't be. But within a minuet both had regained their senses and once again
Ebony was in a bone crushing hug.
The rest of the night was spent talking of babies and the coronation that was to come.
The next day was a beautiful sunshiny day , Ebony was awakened by a knock on her door.
She called out a muffled come in and the young girl that had painted her before the battle
came in. She gave a low bow of respect and then proceed to help Ebony out of bed and into a
bath. After she was washed the young girl helped Ebony get dressed into a beautiful green
dress that matched her eyes perfectly. After the girl left it wasn't long before Gawain came to
escort Ebony to the great hall where the ceremony took place. Many people where there
when she got there and as she passed they all bowed which was still a weird concept but she
guessed that she had better get used to it.
Even though Arthur had been a christen he had agreed to let Merlin do it from the old ways.
First Arthur and Guinevere where crowned king and queen of all Britain and then Merlin
turned to Ebony.
" In the old days there was always a queen either her brother or lover would be her consort
and warlord, however today thing have changed a little you Lady where chosen not only by
The Morrigan but also the king stag. You shall rule beside the king and queen and such also
help rule this land. I name you Princess of Britain as it should be." Merlin said placing a small
gold circlet on Ebony's head.
As she turned everybody there including Arthur and Guinevere bowed to her. She
acknowledged them with a small nod of her head. With a great applause they proceeded to
the next even, the wedding. Ebony couldn't help but feel a little jealously to the happy couple
because she had lost the one person she loved. But then again it wasn't for ever, in 10 years
everybody would be returned. Those who were lost would be found again.
9 months later
Ebony squeezed Galahads hand as another contraction came. The date was may 1st the day
her children where to be born and all she wanted to do was cry because of how much it hurt.
All the men that where their looked at her with pity and would gladly fight a million battles
then go through this pain. Galahad yelped as he felt the small hand in his hold his hand so
tight it felt like his bones where breaking. It took 3 hours but finally the first baby came out
Van being the nurse to deliver the baby quickly cut it free and gave it to Guinevere to clean
off. Quickly Gawain switched with his friend and Ebony his hand. The next baby thankfully
quick to come so Gawain didn't have to endure to much pain but still he would have a few
bruises from the small women. After cleaning the second baby Ebony was handed both her
children, this made her start crying because she had just given birth to two beautiful children.
A boy and a girl that she would love with every fiber in her being.
" So what are you going to name them" Arthur asked he had been quiet the whole time
" Shaylee and Rylie" Ebony said
" There perfect" Guinevere said
" What do they mean" Van asked
" Fairy princess of the field and Valiant" Merlin answered as he walked in to greet the future
king and queen.
